Team Fortress Two: Classes

[MackTheHunter]

 I've been getting better at TF2, but I can't seem to decide on what class to use. My favorite two so far are Sniper and Spy, but I've heard that there are better. What is your favorite/most used class?

there aren't 'better' classes. valve works hard at keeping TF2 balanced, so all classes are equally powerful. while some may be easy to use (pyro, sniper) and some may be harder (spy, engineer) valve does a good enough job at balancing so that there isn't a single class that can dominate the rest.

just try out all the classes until you find some more you like. you shouldn't just stick with one, either, it's better for the team if you're versatile and can use multitudes of different classes.

 I see. I already have tried all of the classes, and I did like Pyro and the sniper. I guess I'll go try that.

I use every one at least once in four matches but I use medic the most. Almost twenty five hours total medic time :O with 25 points as my most in one life. Second is scout. And it's worth mentioning that I also have a high point score of 25 as the sniper.

I would say sniper is moderate difficulty. The skill ceiling is incredibly high on them, but its a harder class to pick up and play.


Lt Chub, this is not a bragging topic, but since you mention it,
42 hours as engi. 32 most points in one life as medic.
Don't brag unless you've done something impressive. Oh wow, you have mediocre scores, great job!

[Harm94]

They are all good if you use them right.

He rasies a point. But that doesn't mean you can't be dominate with one class. If you can hone your skills well enough, you could dominate everyone/class in a server.

I love playing Engie. It's so satisfying.

Also Demoman even though I'm not too good at it.

[Lt Chub Chub]

@Rkynick: I wasn't bragging I was pointing out that the class I have used the most I have a poor score with, the class I use the second most is one of the less used, and the class (I forgot to mention this) that I use the third most has a score equal to the class I use the most.

Do you know what really annoys me? When people play on achievement servers/stacked servers/clan servers/bot servers and then have the nerve to brag about there high scores (my brother claimed that it didn't count scores from any thing with achievement in the name then bragged about his supper high medic score before he noticed it was because he went on an achievement server once to see what it was like).

I was bored so I went on a randomly selected minge hunt look at this: http://steamcommunity.com/id/adam487487/stats/TF2 (see his medic or pyro score?)
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Sampapa/stats/TF2  (Demo score could be real but I don't know, could be caused by filming of IOGM2)
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197991134044/stats/TF2 (how can you get 59 honest points in a fair server in 12 minutes [see pyro])
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Partiz/stats/TF2 (54 kills in 10 minutes? [see heavy score])

I just think it would appear blockland is chuck full of achievement server whores, does it not?

[BlutEngel]

The ones I use the most currently are Demoman (93.5 hours), Scout (91.6 hours), Sniper (68.9 hours) and Soldier (56.2 hours). (inb4 no lief!11 lolo u fail)
Performing best as Sniper atm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViGD1K7jRF4  )
Doing quite well with Soldier, too (insert airshot vid here)

Also Chub Chub, some people don't care about their achievements and just want the weapons, they could have been on Turbo TF2 servers (Not to be mistaken with TF2T), or were messing around with friends.

[ChexGuy331]

Definitely Medic, Engie second and Soldier third.

[lego man]

i play all classes mediocerly,sometimes i own, other days i GET owned, but best and favorite class is spy and second is pyro.

[BladeOfTheHorizon]

I like Pyro, Demo Man, and Engineer.

Pyro, well i can just set people (even teammates) on fire. Its fun!

Demo man, i just wait for someone to go near the flag and *BOOOOM* hes dead.

Engineer, spycheck, spycheck, spycheck, turret!
(P.S i put a teleporter in the enemy base lololol)

[rawrman]

My best is Scout, Second best is Pyro.

[NotInsaneChef]

Spy, although people bitch at me when I dominate them and start stalking me with scout -_-".
