damn, I couldn't fit medic in there

When I first got the Orange Box I mostly played as scout, sniper, and spy. Sniper by far the most thought with over 27 hours logged in as that class. But then I bought Call of Duty 4 and became used to that style of gameplay, not moving when you shoot, sitting still. And now I am playing Team Fortress 2 again and find I am HORRIBLE at those 3 classes because they are fast. The whole game is fast. Now I am good at the classes I was previously bad at- soldier, demoman, pyro, so now its a tie between the 3 but I still have far more hours played as sniper then anything else (the next is scout with 9 hours). I would also like to know how many acheivements you have to get to unlock the new weapons.

So what classes do you play as?

lol damnit, I was looking at it and thought "woah does the medic not count or something?"

Anyway, I use to experiment with most classes, but the Medic, (sometimes) Engineer, and the Pyro (I liked Ambushing people) were always my favorite, so if I couldn't be a medic because half the team was already full of them, then I'd go with the other two, and if that didn't work out, on territory control games I'd just pick the one that has the least amount of people playing as them, also, it depended heavily on the map.

Overall though, if Medic is available, I pick Medic - I'm a master with the Bonesaw.

I was mostly spy and heavy sneaky and ballistic in other words

All of them. But I'm better with some than others.

Pyro is the idiot's class, so I do well just running around and holding left click down.
Medic is also a pretty easy class, as long as you can hide pretty effectively and keep a line of sight at the same time.
Finally, I snipe if I need to use the bathroom.

Demoman, hard I've found to use on the go. The launcher isn't all that accurate, and the stickies aren't easy to use on the fly. But, the Demoman's just got so much character. Plus, it's doubly satisfying setting up your stickies and blowing up half the enemy team into bitesized gibblets >;D

It's usually Pyro/Engineer/Sniper but I change classes when needed.

Spy if there's a lot of sentries that hold our team back,Medic if nobody's playing one,Heavy if the map is Sniper-free.

And for the record, Pyro REQUIRES SKILL.To be honest, any class that can see you coming will kick your ass and in the medpack-happy maps of TF2,afterburn isn't much of an advantage.I do agree with Pyro's being overpowered though. +50hp is an overkill and the best way to balance this out would be either giving him 25hp or speed of a Soldier.

btw. I can't wait for the Sniper and Spy Updates.It'll will be pretty fun to play against noobs who have no idea how to play that class.

I'm a damage absorbing thickie who likes point and click adventures...

Spy by default, mainly because he's just plain fun. I use the pyro/demo occasionally.

Sniper simply because you get many easy kills.

Spy, because I am a backstabbing stealth game dirtbag.

I hate you guys always stabby stabby me in the back while I camp.

1. Scout
2. Medic
3. Pyro
4. Heavy Weapons Guy
5. Engineer
6. Soldier
7. Demoman
8. Spy
9. Sniper

I play medic.

All soldiers are talentless wastes of my oxygen. Sniper is the only class that has to work for it's crits, but I mostly play spy for the laughs.

Pyro...i just...really really like setting people on fire...

I go Engineer most often, because on maps with a long respawn timer, I like the extra safety of defending with a Sentry that lets me do a lot less running back to the fight.

Next up is the Medic, because I love using it to kill people, if only for the humiliation effect. "Sure, I COULD uber up some Heavy, but I'd rather kick your butt myself."

Heavy, then Scout, and then after that it gets a little hazy...

I usually play as a Pyro because I like to burninate peasants. Err, the other team. Sometimes I play Demoman because of explosives, and once in a while a Soldier, Heavy, or Scout for certain situations. I'm not that into building things as Engineer, dealing with possible lag leading and my not-so-great aim as Sniper, or spending more time figuring out how I should trick the other team as Spy, and I rarely play Medic if I don't feel like directly assaulting and dying so many times.

I started out playing Soldier or Pyro since those were the simplest to start out with. I then moved to Medic and have played that class much more than any other. Since I'm not always good at these twitch-fest games I felt better suited for a support role. Yeah, maybe I couldn't go kick ass but at least I could help others to do so. I feel like I can accomplish more per life by being a Medic and healing a bunch of people and maybe deploying an uber or two before dying than by being a more offensive minded class and maybe killing one or two enemies before taking a crit rocket to the face.

The class I play least is Spy. I'm a horrible Spy. And it absolutely ticks me off that others are so damned good at it. I can't tell you how many times I have survived long enough to get to the front lines only to get backstabbed without ever having fired a shot.

Honestly...I just got the game (Orange Box for 35 bucks...not bad at all)...and I haven't played yet... Something about online FPS that shy me away, as I'm not that good at them to begin with...

I'm the bastard who retaliates to being spawn camped by glitching a sentry in the enemy base*,the one and only engineer.

*retliation only!

I like being a spy, it lets me get creative with my killings.
| I think I also equally enjoy the Engineer, I have found some pretty interesting places to hide turrets and teleporters.

I have to admit, however, that the Heavy draws a certain appeal when I'm tired of my entire team staying idle as snipers, demos, and medics. I like to get a medic trail of about 5 guys and do a 2 minute uber-rampage.

I tried being a sniper, and failed miserably. I then tried to be a Pyro, and was a little better. In my short time of playing, I'd most likely be best with an Engineer (I actually killed a Heavy as an Engineer. I just kept going around him and pumping shells in his body), and building sentries is just damn fun.

I feel I'm good at solider but enjoy spy more.

I really love Dustbowl defending as a spy: watching the heavies and medics and soldiers run past me and just get ripped down everytime.

And not to forget engineer on 2Fort. You can always make that fun!

So manny spy's and I love pyro.

Then enge', soldier and sniper. Can you hit a moving target called "scout", when on fire?

I can.

HAX!!!

I'd also like to add that I love being a Sniper because that taunt where he waves is awesome! I'm sure that someone has a screenshot of me waving at them after I blew their head off. I know I have some pictures of when I got killed and the sniper remembered to press "taunt".

Also, the wave is perfect for dustbowl and such, when you see your enemies piling up at the gates, you can wave to them and if he says "thanks for standing still wanker!" then it's even more perfect. I remember I was aiming at a Sniper, and he was aiming at me, so to build up more tension...we kept waving to each other...then we both left and decided to aim at something else lol.

Then of course there is the demoman taunt which is always hillarious.

Engineer, because it seems no one else likes defending so I have to do it. Got I think 11 more hours as him than 2nd most-played class (yes, I know I'm sad :D).

Second most is sniper, because I love sniping, then there's only a few minutes between Pyro and Spy.

On the in-game stats I have Sniper as most played, and that seems about right I love Sniper... I love picking off Scouts trying to make quick runs in 2Fort...

Big fan of the Engineer and Medic as well, play those quite often... Medic is great if you have a friend to heal, like a Soldier or Heavy... I don't like using it on random people...

Well, I generally go for whatever class is needed, but I prefer Engie overall (although too many people got for that normally, in my experience, so I end up going heavy instead).

Generally, heavy, pyro, or medic are my second favourite classes - sniper every so often as its fun to head-shot heavies, especially after seeing them nuke my turrets 5 times in a row with an uber) although I'm not a brilliant sniper, heh. Spy is probably my worse class - I can't really sneak into enemy tuff well enough to do the role right.

Overall, I'm a good all rounder, I think. As for achievements, I have all the pyro unlocks, and one of the medic unlocks (after they changed it from the difficult 'you must have every single achievement' system)

Get a pyro buddy to squirt liquid flames onto everyone who approaches you (insert extra 'gay' jokes here, although heterosexual jokes are welcome too)

Like Brian squirting sunscreen on burnt tan stewie

Sniper was actually my worst class, so of course I decided to play with no other class but the sniper until I got good at it. I'm a fairly decent sniper now and I do enjoy popping a cap in an unsuspecting heavy. However, the spy is quickly becoming my new worst class, so I'm likely going to play as a spy for a long while until I become good at it as well.

I have played the most time as spy. I find it to be a satisfying class to be, and I have enough common sense to change my disguise after I've been seen.

Pyros make it difficult, but I always enjoy those times when I managed to backstab one. I taunted even though I was in the middle of throng of enemies.

Well, Sniping's a good job, mate. (Continues to reference Meet The Sniper trailer).

"I'm not a crazed gunman, Dad, I'm an assassin. The difference being one's a job and the other's mental sickness!"

When I was good at spy, I aslo used him in gunfights to great effect. I wouldn't get behind enemy lines I would go right into the fray...my teamates thought I was crazy but I did good.

I play dustbowl almost exclusivly, but now I am starting to play goldrush. Alot.

and as Sniper, the best moment I ever had was shooting a scout in mid-air then no-scoping a demoman...then getting stabbed in the back. The thing about sniping that I was always horrible about was in the beginning of a game where 2 snipers were zoomed in on eachother and waiting for the gates to drop-I only succeeded in these "stand-offs" once.

Demoman take skill, except sticky bombs. A blind racoon could dominate using those. Pyro takes skill as well becuase you will notice the one pyro on every team thats just a flat-out kamize and a bad one at that.
