I disagree. I often get 1st/2nd place on my team when playing as a sniper and I wouldn't call myself godly. The trick is to get all head shots. They're worth 2 points instead of 1.

Maybe your just used to MTF with snapshot insta-kills, regTF still took a headshot or two maybe three to kill a hwguy. Sniper seems the same in TF2 just can't FOV change like you used to.Originally posted by: M0oG0oGaiPan
Sniper:
Play qwtf. They nerfed the sniper class so bad in this game. He still kills it's just not what he should be.
TFC one full body shot and one weak shot killed a HW one full body shot killed anyone else. The sniper rifle knocked back a lot too so it was generally easy to get that second shot in because you knew where they were going to be.
I was a damn good sniper in tfc people would often accuse me of hacking and such. TF2 you have to be beyond that to just be effective. You have to be plain old godly.

This video is an awesome explanation of the Spy class. My Spy game improved immediately upon watching it. It's mostly some (in retrospect) common sense tips that aren't immediately obvious.

That's part of the problem. You're pretty much are required to get headshots to kill people; body shots just don't cut it except on scouts. The only way any snipers getting high on the score board is because they get their kills counted double (I too get MVP sometimes with sniper). If you're playing on a server where there's a lot of bad people standing still or moving in straight lines all the time you can rack up points, but you're still not being as useful as the soldier who's gotten just a few points less than you.

not entirely true, soldiers just kill whoever. Snipers can usualy pick who they kill out of the group.
Ie medics...
agreed much easier with a full charged headshot to a heavy while the medic is healing him. Heavies are usually the sitting ducks waiting for the ubers when firing away.Originally posted by: AyashiKaibutsu

What server are you on where the medics line up to be shot : ) I've found some but they usually die out after I'm in them for 15 minutes or so : ( Unless it's a terrible medic, I usually pick off the HW guy instead since they're the one class that's decently easy to headshot.

Demoman is a great class to learn with if you want easy points. Spam spam and more demo spam. In CP maps just cover the point with stickies and blow em when the other team shows up. After a while you will start to understand the strengths and weaknesses of very class as you play against them. Then start branching out. The game is a blast whatever class you choose to play.

You said it. Demo is the easiest class to play. Want to defend? Spam some stickies? Want to kill, just take out regular grenade launcher.
HWGuy is pretty fun/easy. Just shoot.
Engineer is one of the hardest since you have to know the maps well and know good places to set guns up.
in case you missed this post, thanks and enjoy the show.Originally posted by: Gautama2
To clarify earlier, soldier and HW are the exact same speed.
My mind feels like HW is slower, but when you run side by side no one takes the lead.
