Engie, Pyro, Sniper- in no particular order.

Soldier...definitely soldier.  It was all I played for like, 2 years.

P.S. I mean I could pull off some crazy shit as a soldier.  I could rocketjump into a wall, fire another rocket into the wall right below me to get even higher.  Unfortunately it's tactical uses were limited.  And I can't seem to pull it off consistently anymore.  Either the timing is changed, or I haven't done it in so long I can't quite get the timing right.

I guess second would be the pyro, and maybe third is a huntsman sniper.  Though sniper is more a screw around class than a serious class.  I get like a 1/6 kill/death ratio with him.  And I have more kills with the shiv and kukri than I have with my bow.

Spy. Also, I read far too many webcomics. I cannot read the word shiv without putting "healing" in front of it.

I'd say, I don't know really. I have periods where I focus on one character completely, right now I'm trying to level up my Pyro. Damned airblasting grinding is the worst (actually its hillarious good fun).

I'd probably go Engy first, since I like to buiild stuff. Second would be heavy then thirdly pyro.

I am inept at spy. Even bots see me coming from across the map. I've never completely enjoyed Demo, but I do occasionally find that I can do some damage with him in the right situation, and similar with the soldier.

The Pyro is a bit frustrating. I rarely play as it. The Sniper can be rewarding, but ultimately I use him rarely, and only with the rifle. And, of course, the shiv.

The Heavy and Medic are ok, and as one I'm pretty much constantly near the other.

Now, the Scout is pretty nice. I like the freedom- even though I die a LOT. But my favorite is probably Engie.

Bot problem. They can hear and smell you, but they have a two second memory on spies.

 I generally play soldier and pyro and demo. But mostly soldier and demo because they are the most mobile and damaging classes in the game. They also don't depend on your FPS going into the single digits when attempting a meatshot.

I love playing as Spies and Snipers. I'm great with the Dead Ringer. I also play Pyro, Heavy and a little Medic, but I'm not as good at them.

I've been using the Scottish Resistance as the demoman. I like being able to not only put out 6 more mines but have half leftover when I blow up everyone on the cap point.

Also, the most annoying class for me to fight as a demo are probably spies and scouts.

In the ~5 hours I've played I've leant towards Pyro more, I know it's the "newb" class since you can pretty much just spray, but hey.
I'm okay with engineer, in that it's easy to be a cheapskate and whack a fully upgraded turret in a awesome position. I played as spy briefly and managed to score a flag, after backstabbing 3 people defending the flag, but hey.
Annnnnd I really would like my PC to be able to run it so I can play more, but I can only fit one PCI low profile card and dammit they're hard to find.

Pyro. Definitely the pyro. I've grown much better at airblasting (yay mini-crits!) and I am a very good shotgun user. Sure, I die a lot of the times, but I do manage to occasionally:

* Airblast a rocket into a soldiers face at close to melee-range. (...though I take damage as well.)
* Successfully ambush and kill a revved up heavy and survive. (...albeit with single-digit hitpoints.)
* Reflect a sentry rocket into its corresponding engineer and kill him. (...though most likely dying in the process.)
* Leap into a fray and kill or mortally wound everyone. (...though again most likely dying in the process.)

If you ambush a revved up heavy and survive that's a bad heavy, I don't think you can actually put out enough dps to guarantee a kill.

Also I like playing the scout even though I'm terrible at it. I used to take it seriously but now when I play scout I just relax and enjoy the speed with which I can run around and double jump. Pyro is probably my best class although how I do as it is highly dependant on the circumstances, I also end up getting dominated a lot by soldiers since I loathe to kill them and instead prefer to aim their rockets at nearby squishy enemies such as say the medic healing them.

I think with all the nerfs the Pyro is getting, there's really no way to do anything big without dying in the process. They should have some sort of kamikaze firebomb unlockable for her.

I usually play Engineer, switching between offensive and defensive as the game changes. I really miss the custom loadout option in the original TF, where you could be an engineer with a disguise kit and a jetpack or grappling hook... I also miss all the ways a sentry could be upgraded... and two way teleporters... and that one map with the giant nuke...

I'm going to get my EzQuake installation off of my old HD and give it a spin. How similar is "Team Fortress Classic" to the original, by the way? If it's just like it, I'd rather play that. Normally I don't complain about graphics, but when there's no way to tell which team someone's on...

When I'm on Blu in Payload though, I usually play Pyro, though it seems that I can get a whole lot more kills with a Demo or a Spy (dead ringer FTW).
