The Announcer (also Host) refers to a wide assortment of informative, often entertaining, voice cues heard by players on each team before and during gameplay. The Announcer provides verbal cues of various game events, including starts and ends of rounds (with countdowns), the killing of an entire team, Intelligence status, Bomb Progress, and Match outcomes. While many of the verbal cues that players hear appear to be specific to their own team, rest assured that the other team is receiving an equal amount of support and criticism (a basis for the character of the Administrator).

The Announcer role was created by Helen, the Administrator of TF Industries. The Administrator's voice is heard on the vast majority of released maps, so much so that the names Announcer, Administrator, and Helen have been largely synonymous in discussions of Gameplay as well as in the Storyline. A deeper discussion of Helen's Announcer role in Gameplay and the related Storyline is given in her biography.

A number of other characters have been introduced to perform the Announcer role, particularly in Halloween maps, although certain of Helen's voice cues may still be heard in any case.
