...I go medic a good bit. I normally go rambo and destroy everyone though. Normally do more healing with the Concheror or the Sandvich.

Yeah, people who think medic is boring are probably playing it wrong. You can't count on most teammates to protect their medic, if someone get's all up in your grill? UBERSAW'D. High move speed and health regen make you surprisingly dangerous. Which is not to say you shouldn't heal people, but it's not worthwhile sitting around building a charge while your teammates have all the fun.

I don't think I've ever built a teleporter.

Oh, so you're that guy. I hope you only ever play Arena and KOTH, otherwise you are a shame to the wrench.

Playing in teams that are level-headed enough to actually have two medics on a pub server (which are really all the servers I ever play) is an absolute joy. Provided everyone else isn't absolutely, shockingly horrible at the game you will barrel through the other team like they weren't even there.

 Mt only problem with medic is having teammates that are totally incapable of dealing with a scout walking straight towards you and emptying his entire clip with no resistance whatsoever. Random deaths just feel more bitter and frequent.

Crappy Weapon Idea Time!


Engy Metal Beam!
It's a primary slot weapon. It prevents the engy from building a dispenser, and allows the engy to regenerate Metal. The Engy can target team mates, and give them metal/ammo. Maybe a build up time of no reloading.

If the Engy can't build at all, then it should defiantly get an ubercharged. Which I think should grant allow for instant reloading, and minicrits.

Scout is actually the best disguise, under one very important condition:

You are cloaked as often as physically possible and are moving at all times.

So, these are the conditions that must be met:

0. Don't be using the C&D (0 because it's not that good anyway)
1. There is enough ammo on the map to stay cloaked regardless of current state of the map.
2. You have the skill and memory to know the locations of all the ammo on the map.
3. You are stealthy enough to not be seen while hiding even if you're forced to uncloak.

Number 3 is the big reason for why scout is best disguise: if you're crouching in a corner, looking around slightly paranoid, who's to say that's something a scout wouldn't do? More importantly, you are less likely to be seen looking around all paranoid crouched uncloaked in a corner if you're disguised as scout, because you don't have that big ol' flamethrower poking out. Scout is smallest class.

If you don't have all 4 of those conditions, then pretty much any disguise other than scout is good. You'd be surprised at how often those conditions are met, though.

I only play medic if there's a lot of people calling out for medics and noone is playing one, or if I'm in the mood for syringe gunning the shit out of people.
Also, my biggest healing record for medic (so far) is about 1300 (you know, without dying).  I like to think that I make a good medic.

Strangely enough, I've found out that people rarely spy-check you if you are disguised as a heavy. Heck, you can even make a medic waste his übercharge on you.

this is so true. The only time I have been fooled in the last 2 years was to a spy/heavy

Yep, that's me.  I never said I was any good as engineer.  :)

I really need to learn to play better, for pretty much every class.  Yes, I'm one of the free to play noobs.

You know what's fun? Disguising as a soldier or demo or something, tricking an enemy medic, and then leading him into a bunch of sentries.


Oh, and as a pyro, its great fun to air blast people off the map, like in PL_Upwards.

My crummy, fluctuating FPS means I can't aim and can't dodge, so I play Heavy, Engineer, and Medic.

Playing heavy gives you a great appreciation for support classes. Without a teleporter, you can spend more time walking than fighting. So when I play engi, I build the teleports first and the sentry last.

I don't understand the appeal of playing Rambo medic. I get killed often enough with my usual cowardly approach. I have had fun with the crossbow. Spamming long range shots into crowded areas gives hilarious results. You're helping the team no matter who you hit!

I always do more healing than killing with the medic.  I see an ok killing weapon as a bonus to the class more than anything.
