Time to try out some new stuff

I just realised that I always choose a certain class on certain maps, and I rarely try out anything new. I go Engineer or Soldier in 2fort, Pyro in Hydro, Soldier or Pyro in Badlands, Soldier or Medic in Gravel Pit, Soldier in Granary and so on and so on.
So the next time I'm playing, I'll try out, for example, Pyro in Well. I'm completely lost as a Pyro in Well. I'll go, um, Engineer in Badlands. Pyro in Dustbowl when I'm in BLU. Anything but Soldier in Granary.
And I have a sudden urge to go Sniper. I've been neglecting Sniper after I started getting hang of playing Pyro and Soldier (Sniper was my third favourite class at some point), and truth to be told I'm quite a sucky Sniper. I never realise to move and then I have Spies coming out of my ass. And I'm outplayed by the enemy Snipers way too easily. I also hate Sniper vs. Sniper battles so much that I try to choose my sniping points so that the enemy Snipers can't see me. And I will never, ever go Sniper in 2fort.
And in case you're wondering and haven't yet realised, my top four classes are Medic (~30 h), Soldier (~20 h), Pyro (~17 h) and Engineer (~17 h). After that comes Sniper with ~4 h, and every other class I've only played for less than an hour (Scout for almost two, which is kinda strange. Because I'm the worst Scout ever).

Also, the next time I'm playing, I'll try to use more of my secondary - and if possible, melée - weapons. I might cut my Pyro deaths in HALF if I could use the shotgun to my advantage. Soldier deaths too, if I could learn to change to shotgun or even the shovel at appropriate times. With Medic and Engineer I find myself changing weapons according to situation.

And I miss Labor.
Stupid custom map, I hated Labor when it was included in my regular server's map rotation. It is so goddamn linear and too easy to win with simple rushing. I hated it with burning passion and cheered when it was finally dropped.
Now I find myself missing its stupid linearity. I'm getting so fed up with Well I'd take Labor any day instead of it.

Oh yeah, Hydro is an exception to the rule with that "try out different classes on different maps" plan. I refuse to play any other class than Pyro in Hydro. It's not because I'm lost with other classes there, it's just because Pyro is so much FUN in Hydro. And because I OWN as a Pyro in Hydro. 51 points today, on top of the scoreboard, and after each round I was one of the MPV's. I die a lot (I'm one of those suicidal Pyros), but I also wreak a LOT of havoc. If I get a Medic to back me up, I'm simply unstoppable.
Yeah, I know, it's Team Fortress, it isn't all about frags, but damn it, I like being good at something. And I'm a good Pyro in Hydro. And no one can possibly say I contribute nothing to my team.
And I've never been as proud of myself as I was when I learned to circle-strafe lone Heavies to death.

Also, lol at bonesawing a sentry. No, it wasn't humiliation. No, I wasn't übered. Someone went all wtf in chat, how the hell does one bonesaw a sentry and I was amused.
Well, I was on Dustbowl Stage One Cap A, running around and healing people, when I saw an Engineer starting to build a sentry. The Engie fucked off somewhere (probably went to get more metal) and I went all D: fuck we're gonna be in trouble if that sentry goes up, so I whipped out my bonesaw and rushed towards the sentry, destroying it before it had finished building. That's how you destroy a sentry with a bonesaw!

And I did some intel capping in 2fort today.

As an Engineer. Lolwut.

Not the whole way, of course. I'm not that hardcore an Engie. And it was kind of an accident anyway, I was camping behind my sentry in courtyard, wavin' mah wrench like always, and suddenly there was complete chaos and the Scout carrying the enemy intel died from some unfortunate stray bullet when he was standing right next to me. He dropped the intel, and I took it automatically. I went all "ALRIGHTY THEN 8D" and ran off to the basement, capping the darn thing.
Totally worth it, because I love Engineer's modest "That's nothin'" voiceclip when he caps the intel. I have been wanting to do some capping to hear it and I did. <3

Server also pulled the funniest Sudden Death match ever. It was melée only, as usual, and it forced everyone to go Soldier. Except one guy, who was a Spy. WTF, server. Many lulz were had with eleven Soldiers and a lonely Spy standing on a control point and pummelling their helmets with shovels.

Remind me to make an entry about all kinds of TF2 related things I follow in internet. I need to pimp some stuff.
