First of all, TF2 is a brilliant game, but I'm not here to talk about that. I'm wondering, what's the best class for you? What's the worst?

Personally, I'm best at Heavy, then Medic then Scout (though I need more practice with him). Pyros just piss me off all running around and setting you on fire then leaving you to die.

i often go as sniper, because i'm using a wireless mouse and keyboard.

and my mouse will sometimes disconnect whilst i'm in a firefight, which usually ends up as me dying.

as a sniper, i'm really far back, so I don't really have to worry as much for my mouse dying out on me. :P

eh, it's not too much of a sniper game though, is it? That's good of course because it's all so well matched between classes, but not as much fun to be a sniper as it is in other games.

I just play as engineer and soldier all the time at the moment because they're easy and I'm crap. :)

Plus, I love the slight strategy involved in building sentry guns in certain places and helping the team with the teleporter and the dispenser unit. -Usually put a dispenser unit up for the snipers ^_^

My favorite class is the Pyro. Ambushing people and creating hysteria are a lot of fun, but then they added in the air blast and made the Pyro a lot more fun. Now I can use the air blast to stop the progress of ubercharged players, deflect rockets, sweep away sticky bombs, push people off edges, and be a general nuisance to the other team.

However, right after the Pyro update, there were too many people playing Pyro so I had to switch to my #2 choice, the Demoman. He's probably a lot more useful than the Pyro in attack situations, but I don't think he's as fun.

Scout, no one can match his speed.
If he took steroids he'd run faster than bullets

I've found myself to be a great Soldier, Medic and Demoman, whereas classes like the Sniper and Heavy haven't been going all that well for me.

I play scout, pyro and Demoman. I'm probably best at Scout, because I like to run right past my opponent and grab the objective.


edit: I'm playing on PC now, and I'm playing as Engineer until I can get a better mouse.

I usually play as Heavy just because I love peppering people with bullets, although I never seem to succeed in actually killing one, should I be lucky enough to be ignored by Spies.

My second choice is Pyro. But I haven't played it since er, May, so my opinions could be different.

Heavy Veapons Guy!

That big ol' russian seems to be the best for me...

I like to use the sniper though.
I
I have a gun. It's really powerful. Especially against living things.

Engie, because turrets.

If that's not working then Heavy, because bullets. Also, if you stand next to a dispenser and a medic, you become a turret.

Though, if people are standing in big clusters I can't resist burning them. I don't ambush much as Pyro, typicaly play him the same as Heavy Weapons Guy.

Least used, though still used, would be Sniper, to take out turrets and their nearby Engineers.

Heavy makes a great target for... everybody ^_^

Pyro is a BASTARD! Ugh... get ambushed by those buggers and you either take your chances and try and finish 'em, or race to the nearest water or health before you burn to death. -_-
Unless there's a doc handy and they're not a useless dick.

I've been switching between all classes now, but who I play most depends on the type of game and which side I'm on: ie- in gold rush when I'm on blue I go medic a lot, and when I'm on red I go engineer a lot more.
But it's fun to switch around to all of them now, they all have strengths and weaknesses, it depends on what you want to do in the game really.

------------
Medic is good for getting points easily, if that's what you're into, with the way you get kill assists from healing and Uber.
Now that I've played more though and I'm fairly good at the game, I'd say I like engineer the best. I like helping my team with the teleporters and dispensers, as well as getting the other team with a sneaky turret placement. :)
And killing pesky spies with my wrench >:)

I suck as a spy... I'm going back to sniper >_>

I love it when I see another sniper. Looking in the other direction. Or looking in my direction and failing to notice me. Which happens, surprisingly, a lot.
