Team Fortress Support Players On Gameservers

By Dirik Hameed


Probably the most significant class in Team Fortress 2 is the support classes. These are found working all over the map to keep your scouts running. Support also keep the heavy stocked and ready.

The medic is a part of TF2 that Counterstrike Source game servers don't have. The syringe launcher is the medic's main weapon. Secondary, but just as powerful is the medi gun. Finally, his melee weapon is the bone saw.

The main healer on Team Fortress 2 game servers is the medic. Thus you should find that all good medics will be at the front supporting the scouts and the soldier. Their job is in healing their fellow comrades but also trying to stay out of the firing line as much as possible. His weapons mediocre, so the medic should stick to healing and use his weapons as a last resort. By shooting an ally with the medi gun, the medic will receive a bonus of 150% on his own health. However, once the medic stops healing, the friend's health will return to normal. This bonus is known as over healing and the charge bar will fill and once this is full the medic can make himself and an ally invulnerable for up to 10 seconds. This bonus is very effective when used with a heavy who is attacking a base and you're stood out of shot giving him a health boost. If you like helping your friends on Team Fortress 2 servers, then the medic is for you.

The sniper's main weapon is the sniper rifle. His secondary weapon is the sub machine gun. For melee, he uses a machete. The sniper will take you out from long range if you stay still for too long. The sniper is for people who love to hang back and like to take their targets out without having to engage in a full on fire fight. Finding the best spot where you are protected, but with good view is key to success with the sniper. You can take down targets in scores once you have found a good hiding spot. You can also if you can take out that medic that's healing the heavy. Once you've taken out the medic, it will allow your team to progress much quicker. The longer you stay scoped in on your target the more powerful the shot is. To let you know how charged you are the laser scope expands. On the downside, don't expect to be able to pick off targets at close range with this weapon.

The James Bond of Team Fortress 2 servers is the spy. With the butterfly knife he can take out foes in one smooth movement. However, be aware this move isn't instant. If you move out of range you can be spotted. The spy cannot use any of his weapons whilst cloaked and so will lose his current disguise if he uses anything but the electro sapper. The electro sapper is used to take out engineer's buildings, disabling them and slowly destroying them. Therefore its best to first take out the building, then the engineer who can remove the sapper. Remember, when you can see a spy's disguise, he's friendly. If James Bond films are your thing, why not check out the spy?
