Huh, I had no idea you could get a strange PDA device?? I just learned earlier in the game I was in that I guess you can get strange spy watches as well.

[Jozzeh 125]

And you can!

 

The strange Dead Ringer, not too uncommon, levels up and counts your faked deaths.

 

The strange Invisibility watch (Standard watch) is a rare one as it comes from a salvaged crate, counts and levels up on how many seconds you are cloaked.

[AngelofDeath 259]

I think probably my favorite strange I have so far is my...well it ain't strange anymore, but my Spectacularly Lethal Ambassador. The only reason it's that high is because of the server i've been playing on that is basically higher jumping, all crit, custom map. So playing classes how you normally wouldn't is actually fun on this server. Normally I suck so bad with the spy.

You could use some practice, my friend!

 

The ambassador is what makes some spies completly *absurd* to face off with, as they plant accurate 100+ damage shots on you. 

Good aim comes long ways with that gun! I'm pretty bad with it myself. xP

I prefer the standard revolver, for it being just all-right. 

Keep playing spy until you find out how your favorite playstyles work out!

[AngelofDeath 259]

Yeah I don't play much of the spy. I normally play the Sniper, Scout, or Engi. I pretty much fail at the other classes. XD I guess I could say i'm alright with the heavy, medic, and soldier. Pyro, demo, and spy are just not my type of play style.

[Jozzeh 125]

Each to our own how we play! ^^

How long have you played TF2? I've recently hit my 2400+ hours played mark (No life in other words) recently. Not one hour was idled!

[AngelofDeath 259]

Geez...and here I thought that having about 240 hours was alot. I mean I have no life but I don't even have that much time invested into TF2

[Lumen 106]

I too have the Strange Ambassador and I even have a headshot counter on it, so now everyone can see my embarrassingly low headshot kill to regular kill ratio.. Less than a third of my kills on it are headshots.

I've been really enjoying the sniper class lately. Got a strange Bazaar Bargain from a friend and I've been steadily getting kills with it. Thankfully I'm able to get headshots with it more reliably than with the Ambassador. The only reason why really I use the Bazaar Bargain is because it makes a nice sound when you shoot. It's not too big of a difference anyways since I often just shoot as fast as I can rather than letting it charge up.

[Suzaku 88]

I usually use the Ambassador because I have a habit of firing too quickly - the Amby MAKES me slow down.  Plus its cooldown is actually technically shorter than the rest of the revolvers.

 

My favorite loadout for Spy is probably Ambassador, stock Knife, and DR.  I'm still not good at it, though.  I can't find many decent frag videos to help me learn :c

 

I have 2800+ hours on TF2, and I'm approaching 1000 hours on Pyro

[Ron J 276]

I'd probably have 100+ hours on each class were it not for my habit of of resetting my stats every so often.

Also, I prefer the stock revolver to the Ambassador as of recently because I can do the same amount of damage in a shorter period of time. In a revolver, I look for what's more reliable rather than impressive/skillful. Besides, the lag compensation always screws me over, so I have a better chance at hitting something when I'm firing at a bigger target.

 

In other news, I was playing a bit of TF2 with Roop the other day, and after about half an hour he went AFK for a bit, and....

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

I've only played the game for a month or two, but I'm pretty good for a beginning. I usually play spy and I do alright. I also play medic a lot.

Yeah I have to agree at this point. I've been messing about with my strange ambassador and strange revolver, and i'm starting to find that the revolver is much more reliable to me than the ambassador. I get more damage out of the revolver and it fires faster as well which helps.

[Lumen 106]

But you have to remember how awesome the Ambassador can be at longer ranges. For example, picking off engineers from a distance isn't that difficult when they are just standing still next to their dispenser. Get two quick headshots and then you're free to do whatever you want with his buildings. Also, when using the Ambassador, you'll only get better with time.

Best Classes:

Hoovy 

Medic

Engineer

 

Worst Classes:

Scout

Sniper

Spy

 

I mostly like being a team player instead of getting kills. 

[Jozzeh 125]

So you said you like being..a hoovy! He's a class that can be fun sometimes.

The most common class to be "friendly" with too. Oh Heavy, he's just a big'ol teddybear.

lol Heavy's just so cute!

 

My list for my top 3 classes would be:

Sniper

Spy

Medic

 

My list for my 3 worst classes would be:

Scout

Engineer

Soldier

 

I prefer working solo usually, so I prefer sniper and spy, but I like playing medic too because of his accent!

[Jozzeh 125]

Well my oh my! Yesterday I was having so much fun in Degroot Keep...and then I login to day to realize: This day is gonna be a bit special! Because this happened!

[Ron J 276]

My classes, favorite to least favorite:

1) Demoman

2) Soldier

3) Pyro

4) Medic

5) Sniper

6) Scout

7) Spy

8) Engineer

9) Heavy

I hate the whole "PLAY MEDIC, BE A TEAM PLAYER!" logic that pubbers follow. I mean, yes, Medic is usually one of the most important people on the team, but that doesn't mean jack shit unless you bother to protect him and HE knows what the hell he's doing. If everyone plays a class that they're both comfortable with and decent at, that'll more likely lead to a victory than having 2 inept medics and a gibus/pyrovision/tomislav Heavy on your team, with everyone else playing useless classes. I also hate it when people always say Sniper and Spy are useless, it all depends on the circumstances.

[AngelofDeath 259]

Hmm my classes for most favorite to least favorite:

1: Scout

2: Sniper

3: Engineer

4: Heavy

5: Demoman

6: Soldier

7: Pyro

8: Medic

9: Spy

 

With the amount of hours I have so far, I can clearly say that my top 3 are my most played classes...well to an extent. It depends on the map and the server settings and who else is on my team.

[Ron J 276]

Well I managed to get some pretty cool stuff on demo, so I'll be getting a youtube playlist up soon enough. I'll be sure to post it up here for everyone.

[Suzaku 88]

Well, here are my favorites in order.

 

1. Pyro

2. Engineer

3. Scout

4. Sniper

5. Soldier

6. Demo

7. Medic

8. Spy

9. Heavy

 

I'm still learning Spy, though, so that'll move up the list soon, I suspect :3

[Lumen 106]

Everyone else is doing it so I too might as well make a list of my favorite classes. Spy and Pyro will always be at the top, but otherwise my favorite classes change every now and then.

 

1. Spy

2. Pyro

3. Sniper

4. Engineer

5. Soldier

6. Demoman

7. Medic

8. Heavy

9. Scout

[Umbral Noir 1,556]

Has anypony else read the hilarious TF2 comics? Is so, what's your favourite issue? Mine would be "Bidwell's Big Plan", just for this sole scene:

[Perfect Bio 121]

I don't be a team player because people want me to, I do it because its FUN. You get a lot more points when you play as Medic or Engi and you get appreciation. 

 

However, when I am in a killing mood. I usually play a Demoman or Heavy. I used to be into Pyro when I first started, and I am trying to get into that phase again.

 

My worst 3 are Scout, Spy, and Sniper.

Scouts speed makes aiming a pain in the ass, Spy is to much of a priority target, and Sniper...... no.

[Jozzeh 125]

1. Medic

2. Pyro

3. Sniper

4. Scout

5. Engineer

6. Spy

7. Heavy

8. Soldier

9. Demoman

 

It's still fun sometimes to just play those classes I don't play much like Demoman.

 

I rocked with him in Arena_watchtower recently, sticky jumping all the way to the enemy spawn and lobbing grenades to their general direction (And smacking their faces in with a picture of a happy Pinkie).
Ka-Biiiiiim!
