Hey bros, now that this 'other game' beta ended I wanted to give TF2 a shot. Which toon is the best for a new player?
Brandon Gray
>soldier >not important >"easy"
someone's booty blasted because they got dumpstered by a roaming soldier
sure the class is easy but a soldier who can roam and airshot well is at the apex of skill
good luck getting out of silver by shooting the ground kiddo
Isaiah Richardson
soldier or pyro

I haven't played for half a year, have the updates fucked with any popular mods? My HUD's probably fucked, but anything I might not know about? Any good mods get released?
Brody Baker
What secondary and melee would you recommend for the BFB? I've been using Milk(gotta put out fire right away) and stock/basher.
I know the BFB isn't that good, but I like going fast.
Jack Kelly
candy cane
Caleb Peterson
Bonk is fun with the BFB Also the Crit-a-cola lets you build boost like there's no tomorrow
Jonathan Ward
everything will need updating
Henry Watson
why the fuck does Valve think not letting me get ammo from weapons on the ground is a good idea
Aside from the obvious "react" videos awfulness, that first one wasn't so bad, they clearly don't play video games in general that much, so I would say they're doing pretty well.

Soldier if you want something well-rounded and easy to get into. It also has a high skill ceiling, so investing a lot of time in it can be rewarding. Soldier is a class that will always be powerful and relevant. I recommend using the stock loadout, with your melee options being the Escape Plan or Disciplinary Action. After you're used to the class, consider using the Buff Banner if you like that type of playstyle. Or gunboats if you care about competitive.
Demoman as an alternative to Soldier if you hate Engineers and getting your rockets reflected by Pyros. If you enjoy Soldier, give this class a shot and vice versa. Again, I recommend you stick with the stock loadout for a long time so you can get a feel for the class. Eventually you can use one of the Stickybomb Launcher unlocks, depending on if you want a more offensive (Quickiebomb) or defensive (Scottish Resistance) playstyle. The Loch-N-Load is also nice if you hate Engineers and their buildings, and if you're not a fan of rolling grenades then try the Iron Bomber. Stay away from the "sword and board" weapons AKA Demoknight. The Scotsman's Skullcutter is a decent melee weapon on it's own, however. And remember that the Stickybomb Launcher is your friend. You'll be using it almost all the time.
Medic if you want to be an invaluable asset to your team. Everyone appreciates a good medic. Just be aware that the job is VERY stressful, and finding a decent partner to heal will take trial and error. Grab a Crusader's Crossbow and an Ubersaw, then your Medi-Gun of choice. Stock if you need to break the enemy's buildings. Kritzkrieg if you need a stronger offense, and Quick-Fix if you're on maps where skirmishes are very frequent. Keep in mind that every Medi-Gun can work well for both offensive and defensive purposes. Use what works best for you and your playstyle. But stay away from the Vaccinator, it's shit.
I would say just try them all and see what you like, they all play quite differently. Movement is a huge part of TF2, and if you want to get good at TF2 you'll have to get good at controlling your movement in it whether you're rocket jumping, dodging as a scout, or just hopping from point A to B; I would recommend looking up a tutorial on air control/strafing. Don't be afraid to do things people don't like, but that being said I would try to not use simple strategies too much, building muscle memory on things that require little skill will only prevent you from gaining skill. Scout, Sniper, and Heavy are good for simply clicking on people, but if you're more of a prediction/leading your shots kinda guy you could try Soldier or Demoman. And don't feel bad when you get annihilated, I've played this game since launch and clocked almost 2k hours and there are still tons of people that are leagues better than I, that's simply the nature of the game, it has a huge skill ceiling.

no

What are you on about? I have never experienced a person dying without them dropping one.
Too much of a stretch if the weapon is named right?
Nathaniel Morales
yeah, nobody'll get it
David James
Even if you named it I doubt anyone would get it. Source: I have no fucking clue what his gun is called.
Parker Robinson
You'd have to name it something like short hop lasers and even then, only melee players will get it.
Liam Wright
Engineer if you like supporting your team with some of the best utilities in the game. Well-placed teleporters and dispensers are game-changing, and having sentries is always nice. Getting good at this class takes a lot of gamesense and awareness, keep that in mind. There's actually a lot of depth to it, so ask some Engineer mains for tips if you wanna learn the class. Use the Gunslinger if you want to support your teammates near the front lines with Mini-Sentries. Otherwise pick any old wrench that suits your fancy. Almost all of his unlocks are decent, I'm not gonna bother explaining them since I'm not an expert on the class. The items are very straightforward and should give you a general idea on their playstyles just by reading their descriptions.
Scout if you want to be a gigantic asshole to your enemies. It requires good aim and reflexes, so watch out. He's great at harassing opponents, capturing objectives and picking off targets. A lot of his unlocks are either situational, gimmicky or just plain garbage. The stock Scattergun is the best. Find Scout mains if the class interests you and you want to learn more.
Heavy is a very simple class. Tanky with high damage output. Not much else to say, look for Heavy mains if you're interested in him. Good Heavies are REALLY threatening. For weapons I recommend the Tomislav, Natascha, Sandvich and Eviction Notice. There's a decent amount of skill and depth involved because bad Heavies are so non-threatening that they're basically a liability.
Pyro if you like being a pub shitter. Most of his weapons are gimmicky meme shit. He's alright to play if the enemy has too many Soldiers, but only pick this class if you want to be a retarded shitpost. If you do play him however, keep in mind that you need to adapt to a sneaky playstyle. Don't just charge straight at people, ambush them and always be on the run.
He's probably going to be playing pubs so I would also recommend the Brass Beast as heavy, when defending or sitting on the cart it can be fantastic in pubs.
Jonathan Gray
Any of the sixes classes. Scout, soldier, demo, medic. They're all really strong, easy to get into, but are the hardest to perfect.
Medic is the strongest class in the game but he's support.
Jayden Cox
Sniper if you're either a hacker, a retard or someone who plays just to annoy people. While there are some good applications for Sniper, the whole class is very straightforward. So if you're another one of those generic sniper dudes, give it a shot. Doesn't hurt to ask for tips, and be ready to get called a hacker if your aim is any good. Getting to know your tools is crucial in life.
And finally, there's Spy. He's objectively the worst class in the game, but people who get good at him can be scary. I don't recommend you play him at all. He's pretty good at sneaking behind enemy lines, fucking with Engineers and picking off high priority targets. If you play this class, you're gonna die a LOT. It's not worth it unless you intend on investing a ridiculous amount of hours into it. And even then, the class is high risk with low reward. There are a few Spy mains here and there who can probably give you some tips to help the learning curve become less painful.
And as said, the Brast Beast is pretty good in Payload pubs. And brings up a fair point: Try playing any of the classes he mentioned first.

am i the only one who thinks the reason Dva is popular is because weebs are pedos and she most resembles an underage girl?

>Spends the whole video complaining its not TF2 This is on par with the people complaining COD is rehashed shit, yet bitching when anything changes e.g jetpacks
Jeremiah Russell
Building off this guy, Engineer is basically Torbjorn. You need ammo ('metal' for Engie) to build guns and Dispensers (health/ammo distributors), but he can also build Teleporters.
Just don't expect to take a lot of hits. Engineer is one of the wimpiest classes in direct combat.
Scout gets a lot of kills though by picking off low health targets often though.
Henry Morales
>Brass Beast is good on Payload pubs I'm assuming you mean specifically Payload defense, but yeah, that's about right. One thing I've noticed is that people who use the Huo-Long Heater and just stand on the cart perpetually revved up shooting anything that moves almost never die and almost always topscore. It's the weapon's one niche.
Christopher Adams
>those needle sounds on mercy's pistol
every time
Brandon Diaz
Sitting on the cart with the Brass Beast is even better, you do more damage, take less, and the downside of reduced speed is negated by the fact that the cart is pushing you. Though both of these tactics can be stopped by any half decent sniper.

>And finally, there's Spy. He's objectively the worst class in the game
Spy main here. This is sadly true, but with a little practice, you can at least do well on pubs. Here's some basic tips: >Prioritize. Medics and Engineers are your prime targets, then good Snipers and Heavies, then everyone else except Scout and Pyro. >Switch disguises often. If you disguise as the same class all the time, your enemies will catch on quickly. Keep mixing things up so you don't get caught so easily. Related: Scout is very fast. Don't disguise as him because a slow Scout is an obvious target for Spychecking. >Take advantage of distractions. Players these days are paranoid of Spies. They jump, turn, and shoot teammates constantly. Try waiting for your teammates to draw their fire before attacking the smarter and twitchier ones. >Stab and Sap. If an Engineer hangs out next to his gun a lot, backstab him and then sap the gun while strafing around it. This is the easiest way to take him and the gun out quickly. >Learn to matador. Most trickstabs are needlessly flashy or largely useless, but matadors and (to an extent) stairstabs can be lifesavers. Look up how to do them and then practice on a training map like tr_walkway until you get the hang of it. >Do actual spying. Tell your teammates things like which Medigun an enemy Medic has, how much HP a troublesome player has, how many Sentries and what levels they are that are near the objective, and other useful information. As a Spy, you can see enemy players' names, HP, and loadouts. Make use of it. >Know when to quit. Spy is a popular class and also an easy one to kill, so more then 1 or 2 of them on a team is almost always a detriment. If your team already has a good Spy or several shitty ones, be another class. Your team will thank you for it.
As for a loadout, most Spy weapons are at least decent, but they all fill different niches. Try vanilla until you get the hang of the class, then branch out.
