Varying skins, skills, health and movement ability, there are currently 9 classes for Team Fortress 2. From its large community, like with CSS game servers, Team Fortress 2 has a huge array of custom maps and mods. It is two years since Team Fortress 2 game servers first came out, and it is as popular as it has ever been.
With three sub classes for support, defence and offence, Team Fortress 2 servers have 9 different classes in total. You don’t necessarily have to play these roles, however they have been set to exploit the best skills in these positions.
Without an effective defence, you will lose on Team Fortress 2 servers. Having a good back line is needed to stop the scout from sneaking through your defence.
Without using the bottle to melee, and without a proper gun you need to be skilled to play this class. The Demoman uses the game engine and physics to his advantage. A weapon that can take out small health pools such as the scout, medic and spy is the grenade launcher- normally with just two hits! The grenade launcher is also great for taking sentry guns that are around tight corners with relative ease. The sticky grenades work like proximity mines and so are great for laying as traps near intelligence or control points and tight choke points. Sticky grenades can be laid to take out a high number of kills. If you suck at aiming and like big bangs, try this class!
The Heavy is our next class. This chap really has some meat behind his punch. Although he’s the heaviest and slowest of the classes, his health and most powerful gun makes up. In fact, he’ll take out the other classes with ease. The only thing he struggles is if he meets his opposite number from the other team. With his large range, he can take on lots of enemies at the same time. But with his slow speed it takes him a couple of seconds to rev up that mini gun. Don’t expect to move far once you have got it going as you will be slower than your Gran with a zimmer frame!! These guys work well when placed with someone else to help draw fire away from them so they can just concentrate with mowing people down. If you like to make people shut up on game servers then this is the guy for you!
The engineer should normally only need to attack players when he comes under fire himself. His role is to deploy and maintain buildings that are helpful to his team. The engineer is best known for his sentry gun which he can repair and upgrade with his wrench. To do this, the engineer has to collect metal from round the map. Dispensers placed round the map are also used to re-supply players. Teleports are also placed to allow players to move from one part of the map to the other. This may be from the spawn to an obscure place outside the enemies base. Unfortunately they aren’t so hard when it comes to one on one. However with their turrets they are capable at medium range and normally stick in cover. If building and turrets float your boat, then choose the engineer class.
