TF2 is awesome. Love it. (I haven't played for a while though on account of being too busy. :()

Class-wise I generally try to fill any obvious gaps in the team, so I'll usually pick whatever I think is best at the time. In descending order of play-time: Sniper, Soldier, Engineer, Medic, Pyro, Heavy, Scout, Spy, Demoman. I really didn't think I played Sniper that much, but there you go. :P

I would be all over that - if it weren't for the inevitable horrendous lag I (and other overseas folks) would experience. :( Might possibly be okay for a non-FPS game... Maybe Diablo 3 eventually? :P

I also play TF2. I'm usually an engineer in CTF maps. My main classes vary from sniper, spy, pyro, engineer or medic. It really depends on the scenario and what needs to be done.

I most commonly play as a Heavy although I have played a lot of Pyro. I have been playing Medic and Scout more recently.

Once the Runners get going I say we push for a Runners TF2 server. (Maybe a L4D server as well as that seems to be the game the LRR steam group plays the most.)

As long as the Runners server wasn't full of Scouts, I'd be pretty sweet with that idea.

I play Pyro, Soldier, Heavy, and Sniper (from most to least time, I only recently started playing him heavily). I have about 37 minutes of time logged on Scout, since I'll pretty much only go scout of the server population drops below 6, at which point I'll check for a more populated server.

TF2 is pretty much my FPS. I'm a Soldier whore, but that's partially because there's usually a Soldier deficiency. I have no idea why.

I guess on the surface it is, but the things you can do with experience are pretty kickass. Now sniper... That's a bland class :P

I once heard you can shoot rockets out of the air, never tried it though.

You can deflect with a pyro's compression blast but you can't outright shoot them out of the air.

If you could shoot rockets out of the air then heavy would be godlike. And soldiers would be severely underpowered. Their rockets already get weaker with range.

I play a LOT of scout. Far and away my most played class. I don't play that much anymore. The scout has always been just okay in most hands, but in the correct hands, they are extremely deadly.

Well, the thing about them is that they're mainly for harassment. Demos don't have much of a counter besides heavy-medics or, I guess, snipers... And even then scouts can die to freak chance, and have absolutely NO chance against sentries. At least, well-placed sentries.

Incorrect, ordinary Scouts are so fast they can out-turn a Sentry gun by circle strafing.

Usually when I place my sentry I'll get in at least one Scout kill before that start figuring out the cover requirements and shooting it with their scattergun or such. In fact, Scouts fall faster than a Sentry targets, so it's not uncommon for me to lose a Sentry to a Scout jumping up and down behind a wall with their pistol or scattergun out.

Sometimes you can pick a route so that you can run right by a sentry camp while taking relatively little damage, even at close range. Also, you CAN harass with a scout, or you can go after lonely targets and go the precision elimination route.

Seriously man, what the hell kind of maps are you playing on? Proper sentry placement makes scouts 99.9% ineffective.

For a Sentry to start targetting you, you need to be a certain amount visible to it. Depending on how the sentry is placed, this may mean that it can see you but not actually hit you when it fires, such as striking the top of a small wall or such. I've had way too many Scouts kill off my sentry by crouching in a low walkway.

Yes, we both understand your problem. Why are you not solving it proactively by putting your sentries in places where that isn't possible?

This is why proper sentry placement, a la the only way the enemy can get into that position is to bust through your team. Also don't build sentries directly around corners... Then pyros can just run up and flame it to death.

Or a demoman can basically stand still and put some tape on his mouse 1 button to kill everything on the map
