    As the poll states, I'm trying to get a feel for which class Giant Bomb prefers, whether you play the 360 or PC version of the beloved shooter. Poll it up, folks!

    P.S. If you want to give a little explanation as to your preferred class, I wouldn't be opposed to it.

    I use all of them except Demoman. I just can't get a hang of his weapons at all.

    I change depending on what my team needs at the moment, but if I have my choice, I play as the Spy.  There seems to be a lack of competent Spy players on the console, and I've definitely got some decent tactics as the Spy.

    If we are defending I play a demoman.  If we are attacking I play a Solider. If its a CP map I play a pyro.  If I only played one class I'd get bored pretty quickly.

    Well, since I started this topic, I figured I should contribute, and from my first few hours of playing today, I can confidently say:

    "I am heavy weapons guy."

    I'll usually fill in what class is needed most, unless it's a scout, which I can't get the hang of, but my favourite two are Sniper and Medic.

    Spy or Sniper (The update was good for me :) ) and a little bit of Heavy, I hate anyone who plays Pyro though, considering it's the easiest class to play in the game. I'm hear to start a flame was (Oh the puns) So yeah, Pyro is the easiest class to play and is the noobiest class. In order to be successful you spam your flamethrower and run away. You only die if it's someone out of reach such as a sniper. You yourself can't get lit on fire and you have a flaregun for dealing with those pesky snipers too >_>. Pyro's need to be nerfed (Flamethrower overheating anyone?)

    Someone prove me wrong.

    No you didn't. By noobiest I mean "Noobie friendly" because it IS the easiest class to play in the whole game. Prove me wrong. Tell me how Pyro takes at least an ounce of skill to play.

    I play as the spy mostly, though I must admit I have to keep my microphone unpluged from my pc due to the insane language and racial slurs that I emit while playing the class. But even when its frustrating, its still worth dying 2 - 3 times for that perfect kill, especially when it helps your team like when you down a heavy, heavy + medic combo, or an engineer and all of his stuff.

    When I get too frustrated though I usually switch to the pyro ( no matter how noobish some people in this forum think ) because there's nothing sweeter than burning a few spies yourself. >:)

    I love to play as the Demo and wait for unsuspecting victims to come into range of my stickies. I can't wait for the Demo update but I have a feeling it'll be the last.

    I just cannot understand how the demoman works.  Granted I've only played with him for like 2 hours but his weapons seem too hard to use, the only thing I can manage to do with any regularity is blow up idiots who run around a corner into my stickies.  I just cannot use him in a straight fight

    I've loved playing as the Heavy since the beta launched. There's nothing better than grabbing one of your roommates to play a dedicated medic for you and being able to scream at them through the door.

    I'm scout for life.  Swooping in and taking out key targets and getting out before the rest of the team notices is extremely fun.  I will sometimes play pyro on defense to counter ubers and protect sentries.

    i find the engi the easiest to play as, just things with the wrench. Also incredibly boring.

    I normally change depending on situation, but i pick Spy if our team doesn't have one, or if the other Spy is bad.

    Practically half my kills with the spy are with the revolver, after using that so much I can't really get used to the Ambassador.

    oh i and like to play as the Heavy.

    Actually my least played class is the Soldier >.< , and because of my extreme dislike of pyros, i dont play them much either
