I've been on a team comprised of 16 engineers...myself included; shit was epic! 16 sentries in one spot, and a wall of dispensers and a huge row of lvl3 teleporters you couldn't cross in time before it tele'd you back.

Dear Snipers,
Please refrain from playing your class unless you can actually aim and assist your teammates. That means not using the Huntsman or grouping into masses of five on defense.
Dear Spies,
Just because I am doing exceedingly well as playing my class does not mean that you too should switch over to Spy as well. The whole point of surprise tactics is ruined when you constantly have 3 Spies dashing around in the same area. Please also refrain from using the Badringer and decloaking near me, I don't appreciate you alerting every Pyro in the vicinity.
Dear Medics,
Did you know that you have more than one teammate? So stop hugging your beloved Heavy and take a moment to heal your fellow player. Don't attempt to battle-medic either when in the middle of healing your group. Just leave it to the people who are actually suppose to be killing the enemy. And for the love of god, don't use the Kritskrieg when you know damn well that there is a sentry nest around.

Seriously, that first bit just sounds like no teamwork, and that's not only a spy problem. And other than that I don't think anyone should have to go TOO far out of their way just to avoid blowing your cover, you are playing the oddball class.
Other than that basic stuff, 6 snipers don't help, etc etc already been said etc
Well as a 360 TF2 player (yeah, I know, I'm not worthy to be posting in this thread), I don't have quite as much general advice. But there are a couple things that I do like to keep in mind while critizing other people.
-So long as your helping to progress the team's goal, then you're doing good. I don't care if we're defending and your a scout. If your actions are helping to prevent the other team from capping the point, then you're doing your job.
-While the above rule is a nice thing to keep in mind so that the game doesn't turn into "srs bsness", if you aren't helping at all, please change to a different class. I generally try to play a class that the other people aren't so that we can properly react to the enemy team. Of course this can get annoying when one of the classes is blocked, but if my team has 3 other spies running around I don't care if I was the first, I'm switching to something else. TF2 (at least the "limited" version on the 360) is quite interesting in how each class can help counter another when used correctly.
-If you're attacking, pleeeeaaaaase, we don't need 4 engies. One or two is great for holding the ground we gained, but four just hurts our attacking power.
That said, one-class servers can be pretty amusing for a bit. Yes, even engie servers. Although that might have been because I managed to get to be spy even after they blocked it again... Ah, good times...
So yeah, while I can respect the "srs business" crowd (if there good; there's one I keep bumbing into who plays heavy and is a great buddy for my medic), but I still figure that its a game; people want to have fun.

On topic: There's no reason to have six Medics (What the FUUUUUUU-).
Also, why doesn't anyone play Hydro anymore?
This, this, this, THIS.PlasmaFrog said:
I play an awesome Heavy, more awesome if I have a medic. But I play awful if the medic is bad because I assume they know what they are doing. Sure, sticking to me may sound great in theory, but in practice if you see a scout running at you while on fire, HEAL HIM. That will charge your uber faster and then those precious points you want me to earn you will come quicker.
Oh, and if you are healing a medic, don't run from us if you take damage. Hide behind us, but stay near. We know you're being attacked, we've got your health in the middle of our screen, and if we're any good we're about to toss you a Sandvich. So DO NOT COWER LIKE A BABY and run for health. Keep me alive, and I'll keep you alive.
1: .... Because I didn't want to say "god" and the sandvich is for heavies who benefit most from teleporters...AwesomePeanutz said:
2: Actually, all-medic teams are pretty effective.
3: Hydro takes waaaaay too long.
