Poll: Favorite TF2 class?

[Hero in a half shell]

I usually play either heavy or engineer, although the one class I just can't get the hang of is the demoman, I am absolutely dreadful with that grenade launcher, there must be some knack to it that I'm missing?!?

Medic. There is no class more useful for the team than a medic. Plus, if you manage to aim his needle gun onto an enemy, the needles fly so fast that you'll be able to deal a good amount of damage in that short time before you get blown to smithereens.

Pyro is my #1. A lot of people knock him as he's arguably the easiest class to play, and as a result attracts inexperienced players. However, the Pyro is an excellent Vanguard unit when played well, able to hold his own in a variety of situations, but she's also excellent in support roll. He is, in my opinion, the most versatile of the classes.

 

[RandomMan01]

Depends on the situation.

I usually end up as a medic simply because my team never seems to have one. If I'm dealing with a lot of sentries, though, I'll chose the soldier. If we have to try and drive away the enemy (whether to stop them from gaining ground, or to start gaining ground), a pyro. If I'm trying to defend, I'll be and Engineer or Demoman. I don't really play as a scout that much, and my computer is too laggy for the sniper or spy.

I'd have to say the pyro is my favorite from a game-play perspective, and the heavy personality-wise (though the pyro is second).

SNIPOAH

Taking your health down one fully charged shot at a time...

And then booking it because someone probably figured out where I am.

 

[Evil Smurf]

Pyro, because I W+M1 all day e'ery day.

 

[YCRanger]

As someone who is traditionally horrible at online multiplayer the pyro perfectly fits my spray and pray gaming strategy.

 

[norashepard]

Love playing scout, both because my family is from Boston and because I always end up as MVP with that class for some reason. Also running around and jumping and never paying attention to fights is my playstyle in everything.

 

[Tom Waits' hat]

Would have to be medic or spy. TF2 is one of those rare game I find playing a supporting class actually mean something.

 

[thejackyl]

Most played is Heavy or Medic.

Something about being a large meatshield that has only one hard counter is satisfying to me. Also being a high priority target, as much as I hate dying, can be kinda fun.

Though the most fun I have, I usually have while playing a Scout. Though in experience, Scouts are largely worthless. Good Scouts on the other hand...

 

[Monkey_Warfare]

Scout just edges out pyro for me in gameplay terms
Though as a character, lets go practice medicine
My hatred of spies is second only to my hatred of teammates who don't spy check

 

[username sucks]

Anything but sniper I play equally. This is because I cannot snipe. In any game. Ever.

 

[CriticalMiss]

Pyro because burning things whilst wearing rubber is fun. It's also the easiest class to imagine being a lady girl since we don't get a choice But one day. One day...

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

I play Heavy mainly. Nothing confusing about shredding anything in front of you with a minigun.

Especially a minigun that's strange as well as festive.

Pyro is my favorite, but far from my best. For my favorite class that I'm halfway decent at, it'd be Scout.

I like the whole concept behind the Pyro though. He's the guy who excels at creating chaos; at plopping right into a group of enemies, setting them all alight, and then fleeing as the victims either go into a panic or focus all of their attention on you. It's my kind of class - a master of trolling everyone but that fucking Sentry Gun.

I wouldn't say that he's the easiest to play - that honor definitely goes to Dakka McFatass. At least he can reliably kill things at mid-range, plus he has nearly double the health and is a Medic magnet.

I think having Pyro/Demoman in one thing is going to really skew the vote, to be honest.

Pretty much this. You probably should have grouped two other classes together.

OT: I picked the Pyro/Demoman hybrid (in case that wasn't already obvious), specifically for the Pyro, in fact I really quite dislike the Demoman.

The problem is that the Escapist allows 8 poll options and there are 9 classes. There's really no need to win this thing...

OT: I usually do best as soldier or medic. I sometimes play as spy, but I suck. It's still fun though.

 

[ADDLibrarian]

Engie or Pyro are the two classes I usually play. Especially 2Fort Engie. Loves. ^_^

 

[zehydra]

No love for the engies, eh?

Engie's my best class, but I also enjoy Pyro, Sniper and Spy

I would have put spy/sniper together as they both fill a very similar role - key target assassination.
