Poll: What is your most played Team Fortress 2 character + more!

[The Geek Lord]

4) People have been complaining that the Heavy needs to be nerfed. As a dedicated Heavy I would actually have to agree. The vanilla version Heavy was pretty useless, and needed a buff...but then they just kept buffing him like crazy.

I actually have to agree with this too, considering that as a heavy I've been headshotted multiple times and lived, and as a sniper I headshotted heavies and they lived. Multiple times. Then I got backstabbed by a spy and all was well.

Anyway, typically I'll go for the pyro. Why do I love the pyro? Because fuck spies. When I'm playing a pyro I... Basically hate anything combo'd with a medic. The usual strategy I have is "set shit on fire and don't let anyone near engies, because engies are my fucking friends, ************, and you don't fuck with them."

1.) Honestly, I haven't played as the Pyro in a while. He and the Scout are my two most played primarily because of the hours I whittle away in Prophunt. Discounting those two, Sniper is my most played. I play him a lot because sniping is a good job, mate a lot of fun for me.

2.) SPIES. GOD DAMNED SPIES. AFDGFHG- and Scouts. They're all like "I'M A FREAKING BLUR HERE LOLOLOL" while I'm just like "AFDGKJLF STAY STILL DAM- -backstabbed-"

3.) Since I main Sniper, I usually stay faaaaaar away.

4.) I do like playing everyone else on occasion because variety is good. c:

I main soldier, Hoovy, and Sniper. On a good day I can be accused of aimbotting. On a bad day I can't headshot a Heavy. I like the soldier because I have the most hats for him. Hoovy is nice because I use the Tomislav which seems to work really well. I hate the scoots because they bounce around too much, although bad ones are easy to kill with shotties.

 

[Zhukov]

1) Favourite class and why.
Heavy. At first I just picked him because I liked the character (hey, I didn't know much about the game and I had to pick based on something). But I quickly came to appreciate the 300hp and devastating close range weapon. Nothing on earth beats a Heavy at close range. Also, if you can find a quiet corner he can heal himself by scoffing down a sandvich or drop it for an ally.

2) 'Nemesis' class when playing as favourite class.
That would have to be the Demoman. Heavies are too slow to escape from a sticky barrage. Unless it's at close range he'll usually be able to hit me with three before I can bring him down.

3) Strategies as favourite class?
Stay out of the open, check for spies, try to engage at close range, always spin up your minigun before going around a corner, buddy up with a medic whenever possible. Also, communicate a lot. Warn about sentries or enemy concentrations, call out spy sightings, report significant advances, look after your medic if you have one.

4) Other.
Learn to spycheck.
- Ally running away from the frontlines? Probably a spy.
- Ally Engineer away from his buildings? Probably a spy.
- Ally a bit too eager to get behind you? Probably a spy.
- Ally standing in a corner doing nothing? Probably a spy.
- Ally you can't walk through? Definitely a spy.
- Ally with your name? Spy.
- Enemy who died in one hit? Probably a Dead Ringer spy.
- Health or ammo pickups spontaneously vanishing? Invisible spy.
- Ally Medic not healing? Probably a spy.

Also, be aware that your team cannot hear your voice chat when you're dead. So don't bother trying to warn them about that sniper who just killed you, they can't hear you. Wait 'till you respawn.

 

[Azure9]

I personaly perfer to play heavy or spy.

One is sneaky and requires thinking while the other is the oppsite

My most hated class is the pryo because its a class that doesn't require any skill, all it needs is opportunity. Also unless you find a health pack or your a heavy one touch from the pyro will usually kill you.

 

[Anezay]

Need an Engineer option here, need an engineer option here, need an engineer option here.

He spake the truth.
I'm an engie.
1. I'm a damn good engineer.
2. A very specific kind of spy. No, I'm not telling you how to kill me.
3. Build, upgrade, repair, reload.
4. The most deadly weapon in the game is a level 3 teleporter. It can summon an entire team in seconds from across the map.

 

[Zeema]

i like playing as the Sniper because i enjoy looking my enemy in the eye ....from 100 metres

 

[njrk97]

1 the pyro bacause lighting everone on fire in a room and watching them all run to thenearest med kit is really entertaining
2soilders and snipers and medics always get me from range and destroy my beuatiful fire
3spamming compresion airblast agaist soilder seem to work quit well epecally when there ubered by a kritskred medic ooo thats so fun
4i love pissing off sniper with my flare gun

 

[Littlee300]

I gather that you can pay for better weapons? That sucks ass.

Actually, they are all side-grades and I think the only 'better item' is the spies 2nd watch.

 

[BottleOfAwesome]

1. The sniper would be my favourite class simply because I like sniping and am pretty good at it.

2. Spies are my most hated class because just as I'm about to kill someone as a sniper a spy stabs me in the back.

3. Strategy for beating other players as the sniper? Aiming for the head obviously.

4. I happen to be Australian, go figure.

 

[White_Lama]

1.) Spy. Why wouldn't I be? Standing in a corner stabbin' all them people running past, free kills

2.) Fucking pyros and heavies which shoot when no one is around. Stealthing into the enemy base just to get lit on fire because of some 'tarded pyro is annoying.

3.) Standing in a corner stabbin' all them people running past, free kills If my team has problem with a turret, backstab+sapper.

4.) I still loathe you bloody pyros.

 

[El Poncho]

1.I would say my favourite is between Pyro and Engineer, I have yet to get a mouse for my new Laptop so those classes are the easiest to use with a touchpad.
2. With Pyro I hate Scouts the most, since they are quite difficult to get.
With Engineer I hate Spies, sometimes even though I spy check everyone who comes into the room they manage to sap my sentry.
3. My tactic with Pyro is to take them by surprise and set everyone on fire killing a good few of them, this stops working when they start preparing for my arrival though.
With Engineer I first set up a dispenser(assuming I am not near a resupply) then I build the turret. As I'm still getting used to TF2 when I'm being attacked I shoot them with my shotgun instead of just repairing my turret, I feel stupid every time I do that >.>

 

[mrscott137]

Demo-man because he can fulfill a good long range role as well as booby trapping and useful trap skills. My strategy is usually long range artillery on streamlined maps with sticky bombs holding a defensive line. My annoyance comes from anyone with shotguns running at me, or soldiers, who are a pain in the ass to kill, not least when you need a good 3 direct hits.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Scout main, soldier secondary.

1.) Why do you like the Soldier & the Scout so much? Why use them a lot?
I use the soldier if the other team is engineer heavy. I tend to play more as the Scout though. Speed, agility, and of course *BONK!*

2.)The character who annoys you the most when you are being your favorite character?
Pyro's for Scouts, and snipers when I play a soldier.

3.) What strategies you use to attempt to beat your opponents with your favorite/most used character?
As a scout I try to find a way around the enemy and come up behind someone who is alone, usually engineers trying to build up. Or pyros. I've killed more Pyros then anyone else, but they also have their revenge since I tend to die from being burned alive unless I am near a health pack spawn point. I tend to pick off people one by one. Buzzing around, and generally being a painful annoyance,...like a wasp. Honestly, a scout can really be a pain in the ass.lol As a soldier, I try to find the most effective way to use my bazooka without being completely out in the open. Also aiming properly helps, especially against those damn Engineer turrets. GRAH!

 

[Nightmonger]

My main is the Demoman

Mainly due to my love of things that go boom

my nemesis would have to be the scout as they are the hardest to hit with any of my explosive types despite the fact that i play a largely close combat oriented Demo as he has some of the most powerful close quarters weapons in the game (in my opinion)

Strategies i use: Be random if you encounter a group of enemies coming towards you fire the first grenade straight at them then fire the others randomly around them in there possible dodging directions thus maximizing the likelyhood of hitting (although thats less of a problem with the loch and load with its faster fire speed). Also the standard edging around corners with the grenade launchers works wonders on all engi's i've ever met and annoys them to no end

Also charging straight at a group of enemies with the ulapol caber is a superb suicide tactic can kill a heck of a lot of people especially on a cap point.

 

[the_hoffs_ego]

1. My favorite class is the Pyro. I like that I can swing around a corner and light everyone in the area on fire, causing enough confusion to allow my team to break enemy lines. Also I like to take out those annoying Spies, Snipers, and Scouts with relative ease.

2. Contrary to what I said above, the Engineer is the class that annoys me the most as a Pyro. When a team gets 5 Engineers all with level 3 sentries watching each other's backs and the objective, it drives me bonkers. I might be able to combat one, but only if I can infiltrate enemy lines. Runner up awarded to the Demoman, those grenades stop me dead in my tracks sooo much while headed towards an objective.

3. I try to flank, catching opponents off guard and getting 2-3 kills before anyone even knows I'm there. The Backburner helps immensely. Also, I love to destroy teleporters and other Engineer equipment, because any foothold the Engies gain is another place to put a sentry gun. I try to prevent that as much as possible. Also, when faced with a huge group of enemies, a quick spray of fire to everyone gives me chance to escape/cause more damage.

4. My team must love me for my anti-Spy abilities. Personally, I love seeing that the enemy has spies. More easy kills for me. Making quick work of the low health classes (Sniper, Scout) is a very good perk to being a Pyro too. But killing a Heavy is always the best feeling. When I'm just running circles around one and they just can't hit me, I feel invincible.

 

[rosac]

Scout is my main. Why? because he suits my suicide rush playstyle. I often plunge into the enemy (Preferably taking the side routes etc), blast off a couple of shots with my trusty popper, and finishing with the winger/pistol/luger.

I hate heavies the most. even more so the tomislav and natascha heavies (both are so OP against scouts it is obscene) This is manly due to their ability to steal my medics if on my team, and shred me to pieces if on the enemy team.

I mentioned one of my tactics above, the other is to "get the drop" on an enemy by using the map well to get behind the enemies and blast away at them, so the enemy have 2 choices. Me, or the rest of my team.

Extra thoughts and opinions? Just one. Snipers who use the ordinary rifle can die in a hole. Those that use the jezzail have my respect.

 

[Engarde]

Gentlemen?

Much hated, most often accused of cheating, ballet dancer of the ballisong.
In reality? Tactical genius, Master of Disguise and King of Misdirection.

My hates: The mush-mouthed Pyro, and the filthy Sniper. One covers everything in flames, the other in his fluids.

My strategies? Monsieur, you will find them out soon enough. Révéler ce secret, moi?

You may never cheer me on, but a faint praise when you find dead bodies/sentries in your path would be appréciée.

Dare I ask which items you prefer to use? Or god forbid which hats....though I have the party phantom and beret, which has a nice style I appreciate.

For the most part though, I play demoknight because I am a bad person. Add Ulapool Caber for added fun, which I find myself crawling back too more often than not.

Demoknight is my favourite because he is so different. No one else plays so melee strong (though I do like steak sandwich + fists of steel) and so its almost like having the tenth class. Not to mention the charge ability just makes me feel like a boss.
