TF2 favorite class and why?

[Arcticflame]

To be honest I choose random most the time, I guess that's what you get when you play a game for too long.

I guess spy is my best class, 40 points in one life and 80 hours played shows me that.

Pyro,Engineer,and sometimes Medic.If you sneak up as a Pyro behind a Heavy-Medic,their strategy will be screwed.

My Preference (inferred by play time) goes in this order:

Medic > Solidier > Heavy > Sniper > Engineer > Pyro > Scout > Spy > Demoman.

In the original (and to an extent TFC), my favored order was probably (I have no stats to back it up)

Pryo > Spy > Medic > Sniper > Engineer > Soldier > Demoman > Scout > Heavy.

I really miss the grappling hook, dirty syringe, incendary rocket launcher and MIRV grenades, but the changes seem to have been for the better (I generally seem to get killed on purpose rather than as an unintended side effect of MIRV spam - which put most forms of video game spam to shame).

Most of the order changes came as a result of game changes. The Pyro's emphasis on brutal point blank firepower versus mid ranged annoying lethal firepower moved that class down the list. The increased utility of the medic from a pure healing perspective moved it up on the list (the difference between success and failure seems to often be based around how competent your medics are). The spy just operates on a totally different feel these days (though the spirit of the system is still there), and I might not have given the class a fair shake. The Heavy's ability to move and shoot (plus the medic sidekick) means the heavy is no longer that "impromptu door" from the old days moving him up a great deal. Engineer is just as useful as always, but I don't like babysitting sentries (but someone's got to do it). Soldier is just as lethal as ever but high speed internet (I was on 28.8k for TF) means I can better apply said firepower. Finally, I've always been a terrible demoman, but I have to say the demo is probably the most lethal class in the game in skilled hands (and it seems always has been).

Pyro, Medic and Spy. I like playing Spy, but not when there are more than 2 spy's at a time.

Engineer, because I enjoy setting up turrets in weird places, where people don't see me, but I see them. For 2 seconds, then they die.

MY favorite class is the medic. I always drift towards the support classes when I play games with specific roles. All my friends like to blow stuff up, and do so with gusto. I like keep the pretty explosions happening.

But there is a little voice in the back of my head that I sometimes listen to. It tells me to play the pyro. I really enjoy running and gunning. And there is something very satisfying about being able to whip up a healthy froth of panic, like only a pyro running out of nowhere can create.

I tend to run Scout. On a good day, I can take on groups of three or more people at once, my brain a-buzz with adrenaline.

On 2Fort though, I play my second-favourite, the Pyro. The close quarters are terrible for Scout run-and-gun tactics, but perfect for Pyro defensive.

 

[F_demon]

Pyro, Medic, Engineer/Demoman.

I am a jack of all trades support player.
Creating panic with an overhead pyro is still a lovely thing to do.
If there is no medic or to many assault classes then I usually am the medic.
Engy for safe transport and guarding places.
Demo for various cases.

I play spy, sniper and scout the least but I am training that last one for the upcoming scout pack.

Engineer.
Because I need the help from my turret and dispenser to kill someone.
TF2 is not a game I am good with..
