That's TF2's crash course really. Find a class you like, get good with it, make a name for yourself.

What Mako Said

The teleport waiting list is as follows:

VIP List
1. Heavy
2. Soldier

Normal Waiting List
3. Demo
4. Pyro
5. Engineer (might be up for debate but sometimes he needs to get to the front line to repair)

Acceptable With A Good Reason List
6. Sniper
7. Medic

Not Ever, No Way, No How List
8. Spy (You dont want teleport dust trailing from you anyways)
9. Scout (You're fast, you can walk there)

I'll tell you what I told Yungrider, dont let the spies piss you off too bad.

I switch around a fair amount but there are definitely 2 or 3 classes that I know the best and can be most effective for my team with.

There are also classes that can be DOMINANT that I totally suck with. Scout for example. I am not a fast-twitch guy, generally speaking. I excel at prediction and position advantages so I really like Demoman and Soldier. If you are a Cal-leet CS hoe, try Scout and Sniper, but be careful...those 2 classes have their place but it is easy to get caught up in the moment and not realize that your team doesnt NEED snipers and scouts at the moment, then your team gets pissed.

The most versatile class is probably soldier...My greatest moments of domination have come as a demoman...those stickies are awesome roadblocks.

Try it all and find your niche.

i heard they took out the trail thing for the spys or something a few patches ago.

Does everyone pretty much learn one class really well before moving on to a next or do you switch back and forth a lot? Also which class does everyone recommend as the easiest to learn the game or is it just a matter of playing style preference?

out of the 9 classes I regularly play 7 of them (suck at sniping and the heavy is so slow it makes me sick)

switch around the 7 of these accordingly as to what we dont have or what we need to get the job done

oh yeah and another thing, if some1 on your team is either following you alot, not shooting, or acting suspicious in anyway. shoot the shit out of him until he either explodes or shoots back.

you have to always be suspicious that your teammate may not be your teammate but your enemy in disguise (spy)

like consultant said, find you class or classes, but familiarize yourself with all of them. Just because your a great scout, doesn't mean you should be a scout on defense.

Even if you aren't great at a certain class, take the initiative to switch if your team needs it. I am a pretty good soldier, but if we just aren't cutting it, maybe I'll switch to heavy. A little bit can make a huge difference. Sometimes a spy or extra sniper can do a lot for your team.
