I'd say jump right in multiplayer. Although I'l give you a warning, you'll have random people screaming into their mics and lots of profanity in the chat. So overall the average FPS.

I don't get either of those things.
Closest I got to either was some kid on his mic asking people to be his friend.

Honestly, the best Medigun is the Stock Medigun, IMO.
It has everything you need to medic properly in any situation.
Healing, Ubercharge of Invincibility, Overhealing, etc.
Just an opinion.

Either I am going on the crappiest servers imaginable, or you're lucky.

If you've found a Scottish Resistance for the Demoman, it's great. It lets you selectively destroy your sticky bombs, so you can guard two doors with it instead of just one. It's sticky limit is higher than the default.

The downside is there is a delay before the sticky bombs are armed, so you can't detonate them in the air.

I only switch to the Grenade launcher once I have 12 sticky bombs out.

One of the best places for Scottish Resistance is Hightower PL map.

I spend a lot of time on various Prophunt and Randomizer servers, and it's fairly calm. Profanity is spouted jokingly at times, with very little yelling for the most part.

Furry servers, I've found, are some of the friendliest bunch. If a bit uh... explicit.

Even turning off sprays, you still gotta deal with voice chat and text chat (I mean, you COULD turn off voice chat, too, but you'd suffer in terms of gameplay because of people who tell you what's around the corner and other information)

So I doubt Malkavian wants to deal with that.

Hm. Well, how bad is it?

[Descan]

For the sprays or the chat?

For the sprays, explicit porn.

For the chat, innuendo and hitting on everyone else. As well, they don't tend to know when to stop.

When you do do multiplayer, try public servers (The Valve #** *gametype* servers)

They tend to have a lower average skill level so you're not completely fish-out-of-water from the get-go.

Practising on AI is all well and good to get the controls down and skills related to your own character, such as rocket-jumping or when to pop an uber-charge as the medic. But the AI isn't exactly comparable to actual players. Be prepared to change up any and all habits you built against the AI.

I wish I would have known this earlier. I just ragequit from a server that was too hard and full of elite elitists who targeted me specifically because I was using stock equipment. Quietly mind you. When I'm really angry I get very cold, quiet and withdrawn.

I haven't gotten that so far thankfully. If I did I would turn off voice chat.

It depends on my mood. Honestly I think furries are alright, especially when done right. Most people cannot into furry in a way that's acceptable to me though, which is saying something since I got my start in online games in Furcadia back in 2001. It's severely degraded since but my god it was a magical place back then.

That might be distracting seeing as furries are alright when done right. I'm not going to go into detail considering all things though. Just as long as they aren't murring every other word I'm okay with it. I still have nightmares about that one MUD I tried earlier this year because of that. As long as I don't have to make a fursona I'll be fine with whatever. I'd still prefer newbie-friendly servers though - something I have a hard time finding.

Stock equipment is better than you may think.
(Just don't ever use the Ghastly Gibus.)

Stickybomb Launcher is a mighty beast of a weapon when used right (ie. Not spamming it randomly and hoping for pentakills).

[Cheedows]

Some people argue that stock equipment is the true class equipment. There are no real drawbacks, trust me you'll do fine with it.  I'm pretty bad at TF2 aswell, but if you can scrape up a few kills every spawn then I feel decent enough to keep playing.

[Sonlirain]

Hmm i remember playing on a furry server once or twice... i thing it was called "furrypound" or something.

The most sexuual thing was a vagineer running around and 1 hit KOing people with a golden wrench of disintegration +3.

Other than that... no sprays of sexual RP was to be seen.

I've gotten plenty of kills with the Heavy's stock minigun. Only reason I said what I said last night is on the three servers I played on yesterday most everyone seemed to be using fancier stuff.

So far yesterday on a server that is my level I get 10-40 kills a match, usually around 27-35, with the Heavy and his stock equipment. However two-thirds of the time I'm on a server that's too hard where I get maybe one kill a match using the same stuff. I'm tempted to check out the Aerolite Gaming servers mentioned a page or two ago but I live in California and the servers are hosted in the United Kingdom so I'm a little reluctant to do so.

Also I'm thinking I might give Soldier another try considering the two-thirds of the time thing with Heavy. I did get a level 18 rocket launcher off of one of my matches last night so if the default one doesn't work I'm going to try that to see if that helps. Also got a level 5 saw yesterday so I might be interested in giving Medic a try today as well, both with and without it.

Hmm...

Well like I said last night furries are alright when done right. As long as they aren't horribly cheesy prismatic Mary Sues that make murring sounds with every other word they're alright in my book. Again, I got my start in online gaming in Furcadia. I've even had a few fursonas and my senior year term paper was a twenty page report on cultural anthropomorphism, which covered furries in mythology and pop culture. I got an A+ on that one.
