Team Fortress 2 Offensive Classes Strengths And Weaknesses On Clanservers


by Dirik Hameed

Offensive classes are the force that will break through your defensive lines. Garrys Mod servers will allow you full access to modify the physics with these characters.

The scout is armed with the scatter gun as the primary weapon. He is backed up with a pistol as the secondary weapon. When all else fails then the baseball bat comes out for some melee action. Like in Team Fortress Classic, the scout remains as the fastest player class in the game, and has the ability to double jump. This results in quick fast captures and assaults, especially when coupled with the scatter gun at close range that can inflict a massive amount of damage. The downside is that with the lowest amount of health of all the classes, he can be taken down easily by most of the classes. The scout's main role has always been to acquire objectives, i.e. capturing control points or flags. Because he has speed behind him he is in and out with flags in no time and when on control point type maps he acts like two people. He is the hare, and not the snail so will always be fast approaching you!

The soldier's primary weapon is the rocket launcher. His secondary weapons is the shotgun. He has a slightly simple back up, but the shovel works. With the solider the core player in the assault unit of players, he is the most common in game, and is simple to understand and get to grips with but do not underestimate him. Being equipped with his rocket launcher as his primary and a very good health level without being slow, means they are versatile and so you can play both on the offensive or the defensive. This means he is quick to pick and play and he is normally the class that most new players will pick. He has a great unique talent of being able to rocket jump where a player jumps while firing a rocket to launch them skyward, however it will cost you some health. Once perfected you can really surprise your enemy by popping up in less expected places and so launch your attack.The soldier also has a great pairing with a medic if you don't have a heavy around. If you like to both attack and defend then the soldier is your man on TF2 hosting.

The pyro has been equipped with a flame-thrower for the primary.The kind of cool weapon you don't get on a CS Source Server. A shotgun is the secondary weapon for the pyro. The pyro will set fire to players who are close enough and inflict a lot of damage over time through burning. The pyro hasn't got much in the way of range and so must rely on ambushing people who are off guard. Flushing out spy's is also the other good trick a pyro has up his sleeve by setting them on fire. He can again be played in a defensive role to confuse any incoming attackers. This makes defending a sentry or a group of sentries from spies easy, and allows the snipers to get on with their job without coming to any harm. A skilled pyro also has a deflection ability allowing sending projectiles flying back in the direction they came from and also can help clear patches of the deadly sticky bombs. If you like the smell of burning in the air, then a pyro is a must for you!
