Team Fortress 2 Support Characters On Game Servers

By Dirik Hameed


Probably the most significant class in Team Fortress 2 is the support classes. You will find the support class all over the map supporting the scouts. Your support class will also keep the heavy man going.

The medic is an important part of Team Fortress 2 not seen on Counterstrike Source game servers. The syringe launcher is the medic's main weapon. Secondary, but just as powerful is the medi gun. As his melee weapon, he has the bone saw.

The main healer on Team Fortress 2 game servers is the medic. You will therefore find any good medic right on the front line, supporting the scouts and soldiers. Their job is in healing their fellow comrades but also trying to stay out of the firing line as much as possible. Because his weapons are mediocre, the medic should only focus on healing. The medic will receive a bonus of 150% on his own health by healing other allies. However, the friend's health will return back to normal as soon as the medic stops healing. The medic and his ally will be made invulnerable for 10 seconds once an 'over charge' is achieved. 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.

It will come as no surprise that 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 is that guy that always takes you out from long range and that you can rarely see to get a fix on. 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. To be successful you need to find the out of site hard to find areas. You can take down targets in scores once you have found a good hiding spot. The sniper is also effective for taking out the medic that is supporting the heavy. Taking down the medic will then allow the rest of your team to progress on the ground much quicker. The longer you stay scoped in on your target the more powerful the shot is. An expanding laser scope indicates this. On the downside, it is much harder to take out enemies at short range with the sniper.

Using a cloak to blend and disguise himself, the spy is a little like James Bond on Team Fortress 2 servers. He can take out his enemies in one movement with the butterfly knife. The butterfly knife allows him to take out enemies in one quick swoop. However if you do move out of range you can be spotted, and the move isn't instant. No weapons are available while the spy is cloaked and if you do draw a weapon other than the electro sapper, you will be spotted. This is used to attach to engineers buildings which disables it and then slowly saps its health until it's destroyed. 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?
