Team Fortress Classic Hints

The other team is all defense/offense!

  • 1 of 6: If you are getting pounded by a solid offense or cannot get by a tough defense, you need to bring the opposing team out into both fronts.
  • 2 of 6: When the enemy team consists of all offense, try to sneak scouts in to grab the flag while the enemy tries to get yours.  That way, some will have to stay to protect their flag and the offense unit will shrink somewhat.
  • 3 of 6: Set up some snipers near your base to pick off members of the advancing enemy offense.  A few unchecked snipers will stop an offensive movement very quickly.  Hence, you will force the enemy team to play a few snipers to keep your snipers from decimating their offense.
  • 4 of 6: If the enemy team is all defense, send spies in -- especially if there are quite a few sentry guns or if the enemies are all playing as one class.
  • 5 of 6: If there are quite a few sentry guns, disguise yourself as an engineer, infiltrate the base and grenade the sentry guns when no one is looking.
  • 6 of 6: Otherwise, disguise yourself as whatever class the enemies are all playing as.  This will force them to diversify a bit to prevent the confusion brought on by the spies.  Hence, some may have to play as a weaker class.
