Poll: Your Team Fortress 2 Classes

[Polock]

Solider.

Generally I love blowing things up, but honestly...if things need to get done, I will stop what I'm doing and go solider. That will generally push our team forward.

 

[Quinadin]

Spent most of my time as a Pyro. Enjoyed near every second and the seconds I didn't enjoy was usually when I was sniped or knifed.

After the pyro I'm usually the medic, But I've always been a helping guy so it's just natural for me.

Third pick is Engineer. Plant the sentry in a doorway and watch the ticker go up. Ha

The only one I really can't play is Demoman. I just can't get the explosions right and it annoys me when my enemies can...

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

1. PYRO!!!
2. Spah
I don't like the soldier.

 

[Sacman]

Sniper but only with the Huntsman I suck with any other weapon...<.<

 

[Folio]

The Engineer. I am dissapointed in the lack of choise, here. The Engineer is my favourite, I use my surroundings to build traps, help teammates get into the fray or to give them a boost.

Second is the Demoman, the trick with a Demoman is to be unpredictable. And oh, I sure am!

 

[Fawcks]

Lots of bad Pyros here.

I laugh inside when I backstab a Pyro. It's hilarious.

 

[DustyDrB]

I play capture the flag almost exclusively, and mostly in 2fort.

My main: Demoman. I have fallen in love with the caber as a defensive weapon.

Secondary: Pyro. Degreaser + Axtinguiser gives you the killing power of the Backburner while retaining the compression blast, which is a must have. I can't count how many times I've nullified an ubered Heavy + Medic just by blasting them away. I also love catching those dirty rotten Spies and sending rockets back at Soldiers.

Others I play often:
-Engineer: If no one else on my team is an Engie, I'll switch to him. I don't like being so stationary, but I'm good at the class.

-Scout: I'm lousy in a firefight with the scout. I pretty much just run to the base, use Bonk and scout out the defenses (and tell my team what I see) or grab the intel and use the bat to stun whoever I see. I kill very few people, but I'm good at getting to the intel.

 

[FightThePower]

My favourite is the Medic because when I control him, I control the pace of the game. A good Medic can completely change how well a team performs, and I'm a pretty damn good Medic if I say so myself. My uber timing is a bit off, mind you.

Other favourite classes are the Scout, Soldier and Demoman. I love all the classes really, it's just that I'm not a very good Spy and I'm a terrible Sniper so I like them less than I would if I was good at it.

 

[squid5580]

wait so..everybody hates Pyros?

No actually pyros are tied for the top spot in the poll now. Cuz they are awesome.

 

[DustyDrB]

Pyro: just...fuck you Pyros! i hope your gas tanks explode and you die. there's no strategy involved, you just charge in spraying flames wildly. they suck.

seriously, i hate anyone who plays as Pyros. they're just cheap talentless fuckers.

Have you only seen Backburner Pyros or something? You can kill most everyone faster as a Pyro with the Degreaser and Axtinguisher. And the compression blast is so fun to use. It's the best defense against an ubered Heavy and Medic.

 

[DustyDrB]

However, even though I like medic a lot, I've got twice as much time sunk into Engineer, because often my team is a bunch of offense-heavy thick-headed twats who don't realize that the best way to keep somebody from stealing our intelligence is NOT to try and steal theirs first.

I used to think that was bad until last night, when I played a game that was the complete opposite. Not exaggerating, there was one person on each team on offense. I was the one for our team. It was the longest game ever, and so frustrating. I go scout and find three sentries and every doorway to the intel blocked. I say in team chat "Hey, I'm gonna go medic to try to take down their defenses, someone meet me at our entrance". No one came (no one for either team). I go spy and theres the three engies all helping each other out and pyros spychecking.
It's damn impossible to carry an offense on your own, at least when all but one person is on defense for the other team.

 

[Zipa]

Sniper and demoman.

Thanks for standing still, wanker.

 

[ActionDan]

Heavy.
Engineer.
Spy.

I like playing as Pyro sometimes, because I love the Axtinguisher. Flame, airblast, chop. Good ol' combo.. And anyone who says Pyro's are talentless noobs are talking out of their arse.

 

[timeadept]

First vote!? Hells yeah!
Spy as i can not imagine myself running in the front guns blazzing it just isn't me however who doesn't like backstabbing your "friends".
Then the engineer as you can build one turret then you only have to look out for spys and the sneakier demomen.

P.S hate pyros with there spy checks

He he... Sneaky demo here! Actually i think that engines are the entire reason i prefer to play demo. I HATE relying on my team to take down those pesky sentry guns and i'm quite good at it myself. The trick is just to get into the right position, and remember where the sentry is, in relation to yourself. I can usually then launch grenades from well behind cover and even if i can't actually see what i'm shooting at, i'm good at hitting it. Also, with enough covering fire i can usually take out even the most dug in positions.

oh my second favorite...? probably heavy, I've had some good times as one and he's my go to guy when things are getting rough.

oh, btw. SCREW YOU SCOUT! enough said.

 

[HT_Black]

I'm a sniper by trade, but I operate in bursts of quality. More often than not I'm slightly above average skill, but every fourteen minutes or so I'll go into an adrenaline-induced haze in which, more often than not, I gib an entire opposing force and more than a few countersnipers. Just...don't give me a hunstman, though. I hate that bloody thing.

If the team's already got a few snipers, I'll play Spy (at which I'm slightly more than competent) or Demoman (at which I excel). If the situation is really depserate, I'll play Medic (again, competent) or Scout (Competent, but rapidly getting better). I don't like to play assault classes--I prefer finesse, tactics, and grotesque misuse of high explosives.

But I hate fighting skilled Pyromancers. A W+m1 is easy to kill, but once they start really mixing it up...I don't know if there's anything that can counter them short of an entire team. Seriously--that airblast sound haunts me in my nightmares.

 

[JayJayinMay]

Engineer and Pyro/Heavy on one.
I dislike scouts. They are usefull, but spammy as hell.
And I try to be a good pyro, a reflecting one. Currently using the backburner though, the thing is overpowered >

Favourite: the Sniper. it's both familiar to me, as someone who's spent most of their FPS career blowing people's blocks off from 2 miles away, but also refreshingly challenging. TF2 is such a clusterfuck of insanity that you need to be constantly moving. Snipe then move, sniper then move. sometimes even snipe while moving (which produced me my best "fuck yeah!" moment by blowing the head off a Spy as he was about to knife a teammate.)

2nd favourite is the Heavy because...like you said, ur a tank that walks like a man!

One I hate:
Spy: i just hate them. 90% of the deaths dealt to my in this game have been Spies skulking up behind me. fuckers
Pyro: just...fuck you Pyros! i hope your gas tanks explode and you die. there's no strategy involved, you just charge in spraying flames wildly. they suck.

seriously, i hate anyone who plays as Pyros. they're just cheap talentless fuckers.

You make the poor pyro sad. Good pyro's can be hell to enemies. Ambushing. Waiting. Flaming.
And when you least expect it.. FIRE FiRE FIRE!!!

Mmph Mmm Mphph!
