My first class was problaby Scout, then Soldier, Then Pyro... I was just trying everybody out, left to right.

I don't really have a favorite class, since i like 'em all (<3), but this is my choice of classes most of the time. Soldier, Pyro, Spy, Sniper, Scout, Demoman, Medic, Heavy and my least favorite class is the Engineer. I just don't see the appeal to make camp in a corner pretty much the entire game.

It's all about the teleporters my friend.

The sentry and dispenser are just icing on the cake.

My personal favourite is Heavy, nothing better than mowing down tonnes of enemies, and silly pyros who think they can run at you with the Flamethrower. If I end up having a good medic on my ass, then everything dies, especially with the Kritzkrieg. It's even better now that I have a Pink As Hell Hound Dog and Pink As Hell All Father's beard.

Next favourite is Engie, but only with the Gunslinger, Wrangler and Frontier Justice. That combo is awesome for rushing in with Crit's at the ready.

I was spy first, because my friend was telling me about the game, and I loved the idea of being able to look like an enemy. I did suck at it, though I've got a little better now.

But these days, Demo's my new best, spesh since I've got a strange eyelander. Need to rack up some kills on that thing... >:)

My favorite is the scout, and also the first class I played. I try to balance out which class I play by what the team is in need of, so I play a little of everything now.

Ahhh, my first fight was as a Pyro. Had a lot of fun with it back then, I still do, but I wouldn't see shklim as my favourite class. That honor goes to the Heavy and followed closely by the Soldier.
Shklee's probably in 5th place, sitting between the Medic and Sniper

First ever was a scout at Badwater Basin. Then I got pretty awesome with the pyro, and I played lots of sniper too. Lately, engie's a lot of fun too. I have gotten terrible, though, but when I play, pyro played as a spy with more health can be ridiculously rewarding.

I really tried to get Scout to be the main class that I play, however, I wasn't really...any good at it. >_> Then I found the Medic *eye-sparkles*.

Started with Sniper and that Australian fuck is still my favorite past the French Spy and Texan Cowboy.

Sniper is Number 1 still, love to be able to take off a wankers head from 100 feet without them ever even seeing me. Spy is second because its just to much fun sapping a sentry repeatedly to make the Engie paranoid then kill him while he is going nuts. Engineer is number three because I managed the fine art of playing him offensively.

Started as a soldier, seemed simple. I fucking hate the Soldier. Too loud, too slow, rockets are inaccurate and slow, has no melee weapon that suits me. Oh no, I went Spy short after, and it's been my favourite class since.
Actually soldier is the most mobile class in the game and the only one who can compete with him is the scout. ;)
Beh. I don't want to damage myself to do a super jump. I have yet to find a single soldier who could stop a bullet entering his head or a knife entering his back with that little rocket jump of his.

Captcha: send packing.

Captcha gets it.

Medic. I flukily killed a Spy with my bone saw XD

The Medic as a character appealed to me most before I started playing, and it's still probably my favourite. Which is odd, as I nearly always choose tank or at least heavy DPS type characters in other games.

Medic. When it comes to direct combat, I get my rear handed to me every time. Playing Medic means I don't have to fight directly, yet I have a VERY real impact on the battlefield.

Support is also the primary reason I play Engie: Throwing up Teleporters to keep the flow of re-spawned players flowing, and using my Dispenser to keep everyone healed and supplied. To me, the Sentry is a side-note.

Started with Scout, and it's still the one I've got the most time on. Favorite is a tossup between that and medic, mainly because when I switch to medic, my team starts to win (I'm not a bad scout, but it's the whole "a good medic can turn the tide" thing.) It's not surprising how much I love Scout, though, since it was suggested to me before I got the game because of the other FPSs I described enjoying to a friend of mine[footnote]Arena shooters, and all their airborne goodness[/footnote]. Seems like the Soldier would be a good choice for people whose gateway shooter was Halo, come to think of it...

That was a long time ago, I think it was the pyro. I play the pyro often but its not my favorite, my favorite is the sniper, its just so easy to kill a heavy in 2 headshots

I first played as the fat, bald, dumb, bald, slow, bald russian dude on the box cover. Today i do regularly use other classes, but im easily at my most lethal when i play as the Heavy.

My first class was the Medic, of course. But with the terrible internet connection at my school, I had to make due and generally go with pyro or engie.
What can I say? Of all the weapons in the game, I'm the best shot with the flare gun. Its all about prediction and angling, so if you get a shot off based on when your game lags at that instance, its about as accurate as if you shot it with a bajillion frames per second and were hosting. (other than the flamethrower or minigun, of course :p )
And with the engie, if you build in the right spots, take care of your buildings and have some good support, you can still be a staple for a team.

First time I played I jumped on a server and choose the Heavy and then proceeded to get smack talked because I didn't know what to do and so I left TF2 for six months...

UNTIL! I saw the machinima called Ignus Solus
and that was when I knew my destiny was to become the Crazy Scottish Pyro that I am today!

First i went for the medic, I'm a helpful guy and i like supporting roles. Never quite did get the experience or the know-how when it came to soldier or demoman, and the heavy just made me a target for abuse. So when I'm not healing I'm building sentries and setting up teleporters for the hardened killers of the team.

Naturally my main enemy is the wretched spy, but I did fairly well against them (at least as a engineer) and many a ski masked scoundrel has found that this sheep has claws and knows how to spy check.

I actually started out on spy, found it to be hard but rewarding
that and the sniper, why would you just blow someone up when you could have the satisfaction of that perfect instakill
thats my logic anyway
