Team Fortress 2
Last week I bought this really cool game created by Valve.
There is a total of nine character classes to choose from.
Although it is nice to all be soldiers a good mix of classes in your team might mean victory.
I will state some advantages and disadvantages here which might help you pick a class. I will work this one from left to right according to the image displayed here.
- Pyro
- + Spray ‘n pray comes to life with this dude
- + Burn damage over time
- + Good against groups standing close together
- - Limited range
- Engineer
- + Good support class
- + Can build Sentry Guns, Dispensers (health, ammo, mechanical parts) and Teleporters
- - Not good as offensive class
- Spy
- + Can sneak behind enemy lines to do mass damage
- + Cloaking
- + Backstabbing and Sabotaging mayhem
- - Servers with FF off will often shoot you in the head when approaching their base
- Heavy Weapons Guy
- + Loads of damage
- + Health
- - Slow moving, especially when shooting the minigun
- Sniper
- + Good defensive unit
- + Effective on long range
- - Vulnerable on short range
- Scout
- + Good for reconnaissance
- + Fast moving
- + Can capture control points quickly
- - Limited damage
- Soldier
- + Good allround class
- + Can perform rocket jumps which might give a tactical edge
Hint: Aim rockets at the ground to prevent enemies from dodging your rockets
- Demoman
- + Good defensive class
- + Can placy sticky bombs and remotely detonate them.
- + Can launch grenades around corners and other places one could otherwise not reach
- - Vulnerable at short range
- Medic
- + Exceptionally good support class
- + Can support the other classes by healing.
- + When enough healing has been performed the ubercharge will become ready which grants the medic and its target invulnerability for a short period of time. Exellent in combination with a Heavy Weapons Guy for example.
Hint: Healing more injured teammates fills your ubercharge quicker
