Title: What's your favourite class?
Post by: Hadden on September 16, 2011, 06:22:59 PM
TF2 is a very versatile FPS.  The gameplay, items, crafting system and various classes make it one of the few FPS that doesn't become mind-numbing over time.

So, what is your favourite class?

It was a tough choice for me, Engy or Sniper, I love them both.  In the end, sniper had the upper hand.  Hearing that "DING!" off the head shot, seeing over 500 damage, and looking at the pink mist.  So satisfying  ;D

Recently I have been going back and forth between the Machina and the default rifle.  A good portion of my kills are from the Deus Ex Machina, however I was growing tired of the tracer.  It [machina] is great for a majority of kills with the damage buff, you can literally shoot people in the leg and get a killing blow.  I did however, and maybe this is in my head; start to feel like the weapon was heavier and less versatile than the default rifle.  So now I go back and forth, depending on my position on the map.  The sniper can be a versatile class.

I would have to say my favorite class would be Medic, because i like to heal people and when you pop off a uber i love to see people try to run away. And them it would be Heavy, because you always need a heavy to help win a game and his mini-gun is awesome.

Personally I love the Spy. He plays unlike any class I have every played. And that backstabing just makes you feel like you outsmarted the other player. Plus that suit, pretty classy.

I'd have to say Medic.  I like the feeling of helping everyone, and enjoy the strategy of building up an Uber while still trying to stay on the front lines.

Always medic at the beginning of the round because hey, free uber!

I try to be whatever the team needs most, which usually ends up being engineer/pyro/medic.

I actually really like being a machina sniper, although I only do it if my team is already destroying, because snipers are utterly useless :P

My favorite classes are the sniper and the medic, Axon said it best when he said there is nothing like a quick head shot.  I also like being medic though cause after playing sniper for awhile I feel like its fun to actually be a little more involved in helping your team. (If anybody has an extra strange kritzkrieg I would love it, I have a couple of strange wrenches or nice items I am willing to trade).  On a side note my least favorite class is the spy, I hate being them cause suck, guess I am not patient or sneaky enough and there is nothing I hate more than being unexpectedly killed right after I get my uber all the way charged.

I agree about the spy, I guess i'm not very sneaky sir... I'm diggin the engineer for defense situations and helpin other engineers out repairing their stuff, but the class I do the best would defiantly be heavy. I can get triple kills and I love hearing that hit bell ring. DING DING DING DING (lol) this game is fun :P

I started playing Sniper after 56 hours of gametime i switched to engineer which i liked a lot, 54 hours later tried demoman and lately i have been spy and i gotta say SPY FTW even tho score depends a lot on whos on the other team lol.  But overall spy is my favorite so far.

I have to agree with Spartan. I love the spy. He can get behind enemies and just take down an entire team if skilled.  8)

i pretty much checkk on the team stats first and see if there are already classes that are being used.

i always try to keep a balance of:
no more than 2 snipers, no more than 1 spy, at least 2 heavies and 1 medic.
 and  on payload at least one engineer for BLU and if RED, as many engies and sentries are okay.
 

i have a burning rage-hatred against players who go spy or sniper even though we already have like 6 of them.

My favorites are between the pyro and the soldier.

Pyros are just freakin' fun to play as but to me it definitely involves a lot more than just your basic W+M1. Reflects, extinguishing teammates, spychecking, and your good old Mailbox-ing flaming people for those tasty crits. You die often, but it's a blast.

Soldier makes me think of where I'm aiming, how my splash will hit, the position of my medic and how to effectively pocket/protect them. Soldier is a tough class, but seeing giblets pop from an explosion is a great feeling.
