some great reviews of each class,  breaks them down very well, and some of the classes are just fun to read.

I disagree about the Pyro.  I think the Pyro can take out someone faster than anyone else at close range.  I've dropped people in less than 1 second from full health w/ the Pyro and been number one in our server while using it.  You just can't use it well against a Heavy, which is its point of balance.

I believe this was written before they tripled the flamethrowers dmg,  back when the pyro really sucked.

Oh, never realized the dmg got tripled.  I pretty much enjoy playing every class.  Each class has its own situation.  I think Heavy is the best for distraction.  It can't do jack shit dmg at long range but its enough to sometimes bump a snipers aim and cause problems.

... but its enough to sometimes bump a snipers aim and cause problems. 

That drives me insane.  Also... sniping while on fire poses an interesting challenge.

I absolutely love the intro to the sniper section:

"While Team Fortress 2 happily throws up the “Nemesis!” tag for those enemies you give you a kicking once too often, it doesn’t acknowledge the real battles that are taking place. The most defined of these are the duels between opposing snipers. There’s always one, and he’ll always be devoted picking you off first. And so the sniper respawns and has one target in mind: the guy on the enemy team. The fight devolves from one where the sniper is an element of supporting, long-range firepower, to one where there’s only a single goal: to stop the other sniper being effective. It’s a duel like no other in the game."

too true.

Did I mention that I love this game?

And no, I don't only play the sniper.    I'm also a devout scout now.  And engineer is fun too because you get to whack spies with wrenches.

8 scout rushes are a lot of fun.
