In this guide I will be showing you how to be a PROFFESSIONAL tf2 player! The main focus of tf2 is hats, but for some reason valve decided to make the GAMEPLAY and CHARACTERS more important! ( for shame valve) so instead, we will be talking about classes!

The first class we are going to talk about is the scout. He is armed with a scattergun, a pistol and a baseball bat.lets review these weapons shall we? His primary weapon is the scattergun. The most effective way to use the scattergun is to shoot it at people standing really far away. This will ensure that the scattergun pellets will hit the wall beside him, creating a distraction. The next weapon is the pistol.the pistol is nice and all, but it is BAD. You should never use the pistol at long ranges and should instead use the scattergun, because the pistol wont spit out as many bullets as the scattergun and the enemy wont be distracted and will instead look at you and shoot you. The final weapon for scout is the baseball bat. The baseball bat swings twice as fast than other meelee weapons, so whenever you run into an enemy at close range you should NEVER use your gun and should instead try to meelee him. This works especially well with heavies and pyros. Now, lets talk about different situations as a scout. For example, lets say you are playing capture the flag. You made it to the enemy intel room but oh noes! A engineer has put up a sentry! What should you do? If you use your gun and just sit next to the corner, you cant take it down. Instead you should run in and try to bat it to death. If the sentry keeps killing you, just try again!

the solider is mainly an attacking class and can usualy be seen at the front lines. Lets take a look at his weapons shall we? His primary weapon is the rocket launcher. When using the rocket launcher NEVER aim at the feet of your enemies. The blast will send them into the air and as we all know being in the air adds +5 agility, so rocket at feet is a no no. However the rocket launcher can be used to perform the ROCKET JUMP *oohs and ahs* rocket jumping is very simple. To rocket jump all you have to do is aim at your feet and fire the rocket launcher while jumping. While attempting to rocket jump, NEVER crouch while jumping. The blast will send you too high and will make younhit your head on the skybox, rendering the rocket jump useless. His secondary weapon is the shotgun. As with the scout, you should never use it in close range and should always use it from afar. The last weapon is the shovel. Everyone hates the shovel, period. (Market gardener, Im lookin at you.)

The pyro is the last offensive tf2 class.he has over average health and in fact has the highest speed to health ratio of any class ( 175 health, 100% movement speed) lets take a look at what weapons he ( or she) has for us to play with.the primary of the pyro is the flamethrower. When using the flamethrower, run directly at enemies while holding down the fire button. You may take a few bullets but no matter what just keep using w+M1 and nothing will ever go wrong. The secondary weapon of the pyro is the shotgun, but pfff like you will ever use THAT you have a f***ing FLAMETHROWER why shoot someone when you can light them on fire? But remeber, if you insist on using the shotgun like a total idiot, always shoot people from a distance and NEVER get close to them with it, this is especialy true with snipers. The meelee weapon for the pyro is the fire axe. Do the same thing as you would with the flamethrower. When people see the axe they will be reminded of the shining and run away like little girls.

The demoman is a demolitons expert and uses explosive based weapons. The primary weapon of the demoman is the grenade launcher. You should NEVER aim directly at opponents as this will result in the bomb exploding in their face, however you will probably take damage too. So, therefore you should always aim above their heads so the bomb will land behind them before exploding. His secondary weapon is the sticky bomb launcher. Never use the sticky bomb launcher. Once you shoot the bombs out, all they do is just sit there and do nothing. You would think they were like landmines and would automaticaly explode once someone comes near, but no, they just sit there. Its almost like you have to actualy DO something. And lastly, the bottle. To use the bottle keep pressing the g key on your keyboard. Every time you take a drink demoman will become more and more drunk, but being drunk gives demoman a +9 accuracy bonus, so you should always use it before you start attacking any objective. The resupplyroom has a no alcohol policy you must step outside spawn before drinking.

heavy is a class that works both on defense and attack. His primary weapon is a ginormous machine gun which is ironicly called the minigun. When playing as heavy be sure to have your gun spun up at all times by holding mouse 2. This will ensure that if anyone catches you by suprise, you cqn rip them to shreds in a minute. You should never use any of your other weapons because lets face it, you have a d@nm minigun, why would you use anything else? And remeber, if you ever see a sniper stand completely still and fire at him. The trick here is that he is expecting you to move around, and standing still will take him by suprise.

The engineer is a support class for the team. he keeps teamates healed with his dispenser and can ward off enemies with his sentry gun. When playing, you may see engineers hitting their buildings. This is BAD. All you do is damage your building when you hit it.there are 3 types of buildings an engineer can deploy. First is the sentry gun.you always want to put down sentries as soon as you see an enemy.never put them down before this or else they wont be distracted and you cant shoot them with the pistol ( shotgun is still only for long ranges and the wrench is the most useless weapon in the game so never use it) the next building is the dispenser.aways put dispensers next to spawn, because they are useless if put anywhere else. The last building type is the teleporter. If you ever see a enemy teleporter exit, go stand on it! If someone come out the teleporter while you are standing on it, they will die instantly!

The medic is the healing class of the team and can usualy be seen at the front lines healing teamates.playing medic is fairly simple. Your first weapon is the steroid injector gun 9000(also known as the sringe gun) this weapon is perfect at long ranges, all you have to do is run at them with the gun while holding mouse 1(see the pyro entry). The next weapon you have is the medigun. You use this to heal your teamates.when someone has a red cross above their heads, this means they are in perfect health and should not be healed .however, to be a good medic, you should only heal heavies. Healing any other class is useless and pointless, the right way to play the medic is the grab the medi gun and shove it straight up heavy's *pootis*. The final weapon for medic is the bonesaw the bonesaw sucks and should never be used, instead just run at the enemy with the siringe gun.

The sniper is a class that works best at close range. Scoping in to take shots is pointless and hardly does any damage. Instead you should jump and doge while firing the unscoped rifle at people. The rifle is very acurate and does alotmof damage up close. The next gun the sniper has is the smg. The smg sucks , period. Hell, I bet you could replace it with a jar of p1ss and the p1ss would be a better weapon. And lastly the sniper has the kukuri. If you run out of sniper rifle ammo, you should try attacking with this. Be sure to stand absolutely still when doing this. If you keep moving around then you wont be able to aim and hit your target. Because sniper works best at close range, you should charge right into battle with your comrades instead of sitting in the background like a total coward.

The spy is a great starter class to get familiar with the game and is very easy to play. You have an invisibility watch so no one can see you and a disguise kit so no one know you are a spy even if they see you. The spy's first weapon is the revolver. The revolver is very in acurate and so you must aim slightly above the heads of the enemy to ensure you hit them. The second weapon is the sapper. This is used to disable enemy buildings when sapping a building, be sure to poke it with your knife. This is to ensure the sentry dies. You should never use the revolver for this purpose because like I said in the scout entry, guns are ineffective against sentries and you should always use meelee weapons against them. The next weapon is the knife. Stabbing people from the back does minimal damage, instead you should attack them from the front when using the knife. Attacking them from the front will mean you stab them in the throat resulting in an instant kill.the next item is the invisibility watch. When using it, try running into the flames of an enemy pyro. This will confuse the enemy because a invisible flaming man is running around, and you shouldnuse this opportunity to stab them from the front. Theblast item the spy has is the disguise kit.some new players may have trouble when choosing a disguise. The best disguise to use is a scout disguise, because when you disguise as him you become super fast like the real scout. Also, when disguised, try bumping into enemy players. Body blocking is a way of telling them yiu are not a spy and you should be trusted. Also, when going to sap an enemy sentry gun, press the minus key before you select your disguise. These are special sentry disguises so the sentry wont attack you.

Now that we have all that boring gameplay and character stuff out of the way we can talk about the real purpose of tf2: hats! You can get hats by either buying them from the mann co store (Gaben will get mad if you dont) crafting them, finding them as a drop or uncrating them. Hats give you more skills when you wear them and as such, you must have at least one hat for every class to become a PROFFESSIONAL tf2 player. More is always better though. There are diffrent kinds of hats too. Unique hats are the standard run of the mill hats you see every day. Genuine hats are worth less because everyone knows cheap knock offs are better than the real deal ( chintendo vii, im lookin at you) vintage hats are the same as unique hats except they are blue. The final type of hat is the unusual. Unusual hats are worthless and should be thrown away the second you get them. Or if you dont want to do that you can just give them to me and ill throw them out for you. If you want a free hat all you need to do is follow these easy steps. First join a server. Then, go to the advanced options menu and enable the developer console. Bring up the developer console and type in free_hat. If you do not instantly get a hat, reset and try again by going into the console again and typing in unbindall. This will reset the code and you can try to get your free hat. The most valueable hat in the game is the ghostly gibus. If you somehow get one, put it on your character proudly and start bragging to everyone on the server about it.

Now that you have read my guide, use this info wisely, and become a PROFFESSIONAL tf2 player, and whenever yiu feel sad or are in doubt, just remember the golden rule: hats equal skill and are the only way you can truly be a PROFFESSIONAL tf2 player. Go have fun now, and I'll see you next guide!
