History Characters / TeamFortressClassic

* ConcussionFrags Concussion Grenades: Can be used to send the Scout flying through the air, or to disorientate a enemy pursuing him. The Scout can also annoy enemies by dropping one into their spawn.

Identified by his radio headset, the Scout is able to move at awesome speeds.

* CherryTapping: All of his weapons are built around self-defense and are more annoying than threatening. His main mode of 'attack' is finishing off an enemy who was badly injured by a teammate.

* WeakButSkilled: He is the least durable of the mercs, but he compensates with unique abilities: He can instantly locate the flag on any CTF map with the push of a button, disable a Spy's disguise or a Demoman's Detpack with a touch, and hamper the enemy's movements.

!!The Demoman ([[NamesTheSame also named Greg]])

Identifiable via his riot helmet with a lowered visor, armoured jacket and knee pads, the Demoman is the master of explosives. While he is a little slower than other classes, he more than makes up for it with his incredibly deadly and powerful GrenadeLauncher and Pipebomb Launcher, which are useful for fights with enemies in close quarters and setting up deadly traps respectively. He is also capable of planting a Detpack, an extremely powerful explosive that can open up alternate routes on certain maps for those who closely observe their surroundings (and instantly kills anyone within the blast radius). However, not only does he lack serious armour and thus be more at risk than a stronger class like a Soldier or Pyro, but his weapons are also inaccurate and require practice to master, requiring him to plan his attacks and make sure he deals with enemies breaking in.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (A EmergencyWeapon that should only be used to deal with a weakened enemy or one who is capable of dodging his explosives), GrenadeLauncher (great for taking out Sentry Guns, fighting on offense if you want to cause confusion and/or to break up defence), [[StickyBomb Pipebomb Launcher]] (useful for defending a area with traps or bouncing at enemies when attacking), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (use mainly when you have run out of MIRV grenades), [[RecursiveAmmo MIRV Grenade]] (explodes and releases a cluster of smaller bomblets which all explode after three seconds)
* BigBulkyBomb: His Detpack.
* DemolitionsExpert

* GlassCannon: While he has more health and armour than the Scout, Sniper, Medic, Spy and Engineer, he can still be easily brought down by a barrage of attacks or a grenade or two. That is, if a enemy can get past his massively damaging explosives.
* GrenadeSpam: Even more so than the other mercs, since nearly all of his weapons rely upon grenades.
* MadeOfExplodium: The MIRV grenade. It's a grenade that first causes a massive explosion, then splits into six normal grenades.
* RangedEmergencyWeapon: His Single-Barrel Shotgun, which should only be used against opponents that you know you won't be able to hit with your explosives or if you find yourself caught with your grenade launcher unloaded. It can also be used to save grenade ammo, as weaker classes that have been hit with a grenade can then be killed by one shot.
* RocketJump: He can use his Pipebombs to achieve a similar effect to the Soldier's rocket launcher's knockback jumping.
* SmokingIsCool: Again, on his old model.
* StuffBlowingUp
* SuspiciouslyCrackedWall: If you see one of these, put your Detpack there - nine out of ten times, you'll make a new path there.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet
* TrapMaster: He can lay down a set of Pipebombs that he can then set off at the right moment.

While ''VideoGame/TeamFortress1'' and ''VideoGame/TeamFortressClassic'' have nowhere near as much characterization as their sequel, there is still enough to warrant a page explaining the PlayerParty of the game.

* BlindedByTheLight: Hand Grenades are only useful for taking out enemy Scouts and Spies. However, they can also be used to distract stronger enemies, giving the Sniper a window to escape.

* GrenadeSpam: Since he's the only class (barring the Civilian) to use only one type of grenade, it's inevitable that the Sniper will pelt their enemy with explosives.

Identified by his camo face paint, the Soldier spearheads the assault on enemy territory. He relies on using his trusty Rocket Launcher to take out any obstacle, big or small. His [[BulletHell Nail Grenades]] enable him to hold down a area, preventing enemies from entering without suffering constant damage, and he is strong and durable enough to take down even the toughest enemies with his powerful weaponry and legendary RocketJump.


* AchillesHeel: His biggest concern is keeping his rocket launcher loaded, since it only has a capacity of four rockets and takes an excruciatingly long time to reload.
* {{BFG}}: His Rocket Launcher.

* GrenadeSpam: Hand Grenade to deal with a enemy who can dodge his rockets), Nail Grenades spews nails everywhere before exploding, shredding apart any enemy before killing them with the final blast.

* MightyGlacier: The Rocket Launcher is powerful ''and'' accurate, even at long range. But it fires slower projectiles that take a long time to reload.
* NailEm: Via his Nail Grenades.
* RocketJump: Coming off the heels of the TropeNamer UrExample from ''Quake'', it's obvious that he has access to this ability.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The Double-Barrel Shotgun makes a great sidearm thanks to its accuracy, heavg damage, and plentiful ammo. It also has a much wider spread than the weaker Single-Barrel Shotgun.
* SplashDamage: His primary weapon of crowd control.
* UnorthodoxReload: His rocket launcher is the same single-shot launcher that [[VideoGame/HalfLife1 Gordon Freeman]] uses, but with a four-rocket clip - Soldier just plays the reload animation four times, inexplicably stacking four rockets on top of each other.

While ''VideoGame/TeamFortress1'' and ''VideoGame/TeamFortressClassic have nowhere near as much characterization as their sequel, there is still enough to warrant a page explaining the PlayerParty of the game.

* GrenadeSpam: Since he's the only class (barring the Civilian) to have only one type of grenade, it's inevitable that the Sniper will pelt their enemy with explosives.

Identifiable via his combat fatigue suit, armored vest, military helmet, and camouflage face paint, the Soldier is capable of spearheading the attack on enemy territory, using his trusty Rocket Launcher to take out any obstacle, big or small, that might stand in his path. His [[BulletHell Nail Grenades]] enable him to hold down a area, preventing enemies from entering without suffering constant damage, and he is strong and durable enough to take down even the toughest enemies with his powerful weaponry and legendary RocketJump. However, he's not only pretty slow, but he's also a JackOfAllStats, with nothing he beats his teammates in (The Scout, Pyro, Medic and Spy are faster whereas the Demoman, Heavy, Engineer and Sniper can deal more damage), so he must learn to adapt and utilize his enemies' strengths and weaknesses to his advantage.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (A EmergencyWeapon that should only be used to conserve Shells on a weakened enemy), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Double-Barrel Shotgun]] (makes a great sidearm to your Rocket Launcher due to its decent accuracy, good damage and having plentiful ammo), [[StuffBlowingUp Rocket Launcher]] (Very powerful and accurate at long range, but has a slow projectile speed and slow reload speed), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (Useful to dealing with a enemy who can dodge your rockets), [[BulletHell Nail Grenade]] (spews nails everywhere before exploding, shredding apart any enemy before killing them with the final blast)

* DoAnythingSoldier
* JackOfAllStats: While he lacks many exploitable weaknesses, he is not the best at anything really - the Scout and Medic can move faster without the need of the RocketJump, the Demoman and Heavy can deal more upfront damage in a firefight, the Pyro and Spy are better at area control with their Grenades, and the Engineer and Sniper can be better defenders.

* ShortRangeShotgun: Averted - both his Shotguns are good at fighting from a range, but the Double-Barrel Shotgun has a much wider spread than the weaker Single-Barrel Shotgun.

* ChargedAttack: The SniperRifle does this. Hold it down long enough, and a simple bodyshot will suffice to OneHitKill nearly all targets.
* ColdSniper: The Sniper's bread and butter. And what you'll need to be, if you want him to fight effectively.

!!The Soldier (Ross)

Identified by his radio cap, the Scout is able to move at awesome speed via enhanced running, bunnyhopping and Concussion Jumps. He is the least durable of the mercs, but he compensates with unique abilities: He can instantly locate the flag on any CTF map with the push of a button, disable a Spy's disguise or a Demoman's Detpack with a touch, and hamper the enemy's movements.

* FragileSpeedster: Even more than his [=TF2=] incarnation. He is best-suited for flag running, i.e. running past the enemy perimeter to bag the flag. He must not partake in a frontal assault.

* JokeCharacter: In the hands of an inexperienced player, he is next to useless, as his weak weapons and fragility put him at a major disadvantage that his speed can't compensate for.

* LethalJokeCharacter: However, if you learn how to use to circle-strafe and use Concussion Grenades, he can be a damn useful flag runner and offensive support.

* ColdSniper: The Sniper's bread and butter, and what you'll have to become if you want him to fight effectively.

* GlassCannon: Low health and weak armor. The Sniper is of little use in a gunfight, and his damage drops off at close range. He should always try to stay out of the melee, as he has a huge advantage over all other classes from a distance.

* LaserSight: His rifle uses this in place of crosshairs. Just like in Team Fortress 2 (and [[TruthInTelevision real life]]), the laser itself is invisible — all that can be seen is the dot of light on walls, or unfortunate teammates.
* OneHitKill: His legendary rifle can both [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] and charge up for strong bodyshots. Either of these can one-shot a Heavy instantly, regardless of whether a Medic is backing him up.
* RangedEmergencyWeapon: The Automatic Rifle, which uses up sniper ammo and is primarily meant to damage an ambusher while getting away. The Nailgun can also become this if you're trying to conserve rifle bullets by using it to kill a Scout or Spy.

* UniversalAmmunition: Aside from the Civilian, he's the only member of the team to have neither the Single-Barrel Shotgun nor the Double-Barrel Shotgun. He can pull out an Automatic Rifle to deal with ambushes. It deals decent damage and has a high rate of fire, but it exhausts his sniper rifle, since they use the same ammo.

Identified by his glass headgear, the Sniper is not to be trifled with. His role is to assist the team by picking off enemies from afar.

While Team Fortress Classic has nowhere near as much characterization as its sequel, there is still enough to warrant a page explaining the PlayerParty of the game.

** The [[NailEm Nailgun]] is only useful if you're good at circle-strafing: it can tear most enemies to pieces. Or he can use it against a Sentry Gun.

* NailEm: Via his Nailgun, which can be pretty effective at taking off a bit of a enemy's health via circle-strafing, although attempting to kill a enemy by yourself with this weapon isn't recommended.

!!The Sniper (Virgil)

Identifiable via his desert camouflage suit, grass camouflage headgear, colored stripes and boots, the Sniper is the one class you ''never'' want to be in the sights of. His legendary SniperRifle is capable of headshotting and charging up for strong bodyshots, both of which can be a OneHitKill to even the Heavy with a Medic backing him up. However, he is weak at close range and has little power in a direct firefight, so he should always try to stay away from close combat as he has a huge advantage over all other classes from a distance, assisting his team by taking down enemies from afar and dealing with key targets.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), SniperRifle (the Sniper's bread and butter, and what you will have to become one with to be a effective Sniper), [[EmergencyWeapon Automatic Rifle]] (can be pulled out to deal with an ambusher with its high rate of fire and decent damage but uses the same ammo as the Sniper Rifle), [[NailEm Nailgun]] (Only useful if you're out of rifle bullets or are trying to conserve them), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (useful to taking down an enemy Scout or Spy trying to kill you or as a distraction against a stronger enemy while you run)
* BoomHeadshot: His speciality
* TheBusCameBack: His SniperRifle is an available weapon in VideoGame/TeamFortress2 as the Classic.

* ColdSniper
* CrosshairAware: If his Sniper Rifle's dot dances over your vision, you will explode into a pile of giblets unless you move FAST.
* DoNotRunWithAGun: While charging his rifle.
* GrenadeSpam: Since he's the only class (barring the Civilian) to have only one type of grenade, it's inevitable for a Sniper player to spam their grenades to deal with enemies.
* GlassCannon: Can potentially OneHitKill any enemy with his Sniper Rifle, but has low health and weak armour.
* LaserSight: The SniperRifle uses this in place of crosshairs. Just like in Team Fortress 2 (and [[TruthInTelevision real life]]), the laser itself is invisible — all that can be seen is the dot of light on walls, or unfortunate teammates.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Averted - aside from the Civilian, he's the only member of the team to have neither the Single-Barrel Shotgun nor the Double-Barrel Shotgun.
* SniperDuel: A given considering that one of the Sniper's main jobs is to [[HunterOfHisOwnKind kill the enemy team's Snipers who are giving his teammates trouble]].

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]], his strongest weapon. It does fair damage and is effective at long-range. But it's not strong enough to kill most enemies. At best, it should only be used to finish off a wounded opponent. For comparison, the Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy and Medic only use it as [[RangedEmergencyWeapon a backup weapon.]]

Identified by his radio cap, the Scout is able to move at awesome speed via enhanced running, bunnyhopping and Concussion Jumps. While he may not be the most durable of the mercs, he compensates with unique abilities: He can instantly locate the flag on any CTF map with the push of a button, disable a Spy's disguise or a Demoman's Detpack with a touch, and hamper the enemy's movements.

!!The Scout (Greg):

Identifiable via his camouflage suit, boots, gloves, radio cap and visor, the Scout is the FragileSpeedster of the team, able to move at awesome speed via his enhanced running, bunnyhopping and Concussion Jumps. While he may not be the most durable of the mercs, he compensates by his unique ability to instantly locate the flag on any CTF map with the push of a button, can disable a Spy's disguise or a Demoman's Detpack at a touch, and can use unique Caltrops and Concussion Grenades to hamper and slow a enemy. However, he is mainly built for flag running and as such all his weapons are built around self-defense if necessary and are more annoying than threatening, so a Scout's main purpose to rush past a enemy defense and bag the flag rather than partaking in a charge.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon which should be disregarded, although the Scout can use it a bit more effectively with his speed), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (good damage and effective at long-range, but not powerful to kill most enemies who aren't badly wounded and need to be finished off), [[NailEm Nailgun]] (Only useful if you're good at circle-strafing, where it can quickly tear most enemies to pieces, or if used against a Sentry Gun), {{Caltrops}} (cuts a enemy's speed in half and deals a little damage when dropped on the floor), [[ConcussionFrags Concussion Grenades]] (can be used to send you flying into the air or to disorientate a enemy pursuing you, or can be used to simply annoy enemies by dropping one into their spawn)

* CherryTapping: His main method of attacking if he's not finishing off an enemy already injured by a teammate.
* CutTheFuse: He can disable an enemy Demoman's [[OneHitKill Detpack]] by just touching it.
* DesignatedPointMan
* FragileSpeedster: Even more so than his ''Team Fortress 2'' successor.
* HeroicMime: Like the rest of his teammates, he only ever says "Medic!" and "Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!", as well as a few grunts.

** LethalJokeCharacter: However, if you learn how to use to circle-strafe and use Concussion Grenades, he can be a damn useful flag runner and offensive support.

* RangedEmergencyWeapon: His Single-Barrel Shotgun, his strongest weapon (for comparison's sake, the Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy and Medic only have it as a backup weapon).
* ShortRangeShotgun: Averted - his Single-Barrel Shotgun has no damage falloff and a tighter spread over distance than the stronger Double-Barrel Shotgun.

* HeroicMime: Like the rest of his teammates, he only ever says "Medic!" and "Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!", as well as a few grunts.

* HeroicMime: Like the rest of his teammates, he only ever says "Medic!" and "Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!", as well as a few grunts.

* HeroicMime: Like the rest of his teammates, he only ever says "Medic!" and "Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!", as well as a few grunts.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded, although the Scout can use it a bit more effectively with his speed), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (good damage and effective at long-range, but not powerful to kill most enemies who aren't badly wounded and need to be finished off), [[NailEm Nailgun]] (Only useful if you're good at circle-strafing, where it can quickly tear most enemies to pieces, or if used against a Sentry Gun), {{Caltrops}} (cuts a enemy's speed in half and deals a little damage when dropped on the floor), [[ConcussionFrags Concussion Grenades]] (can be used to send you flying into the air or to disorientate a enemy pursuing you, or can be used to simply annoy enemies by dropping one into their spawn)

!!The Medic

!!The Pyro (Beatrice)

!!TheEngineer (Fred):

* BoomHeadshot

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (Very good for fighting at long range or finishing off a enemy wounded by your Napalm Grenades), [[KillItWithFire Flamethrower]] ([[VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck Don't bother]]), [[KillItWithFire Incendiary Cannon]] (Essentially a weaker Rocket Launcher that sets the impact site alight), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (Useful for taking down a single enemy or dealing with a crowd), [[MolotovCocktail Napalm Grenade]] (Can deal good damage, leaves a burning cloud that lasts a while, and ignites a enemy for a easier kill)

%% * TheEngineer: Duh.

* MoreDakka: The Super Nailgun, which is basically a Tommy Gun with BottomlessMagazines. [[CaptainObvious That shoots nails]].

* TheEngineer: [[CaptainObvious Duh]].

* CherryTapping: His main method of attacking if he's not finishing off a enemy already injured by a teammate.
* CutTheFuse: He can disable a enemy Demoman's [[OneHitKill Detpack]] by just touching it.

* JokeCharacter: In the hands of a inexperienced player, he is next to useless, as his weak weapons and fragility put him at a major disadvantage that his speed can't compensate for.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), SniperRifle (the Sniper's bread and butter, and what you will have to become one with to be a effective Sniper), [[EmergencyWeapon Automatic Rifle]] (can be pulled out to deal with a ambusher with its high rate of fire and decent damage but uses the same ammo as the Sniper Rifle), [[NailEm Nailgun]] (Only useful if you're out of rifle bullets or are trying to conserve them), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (useful to taking down a enemy Scout or Spy trying to kill you or as a distraction against a stronger enemy while you run)

* TheBusCameBack: His SniperRifle is a available weapon in VideoGame/TeamFortress2 as the Classic.

Identifiable via his combat fatigue suit, armored vest, military helmet, and camouflage face paint, the Soldier is capable of spearheading the attack on enemy territory, using his trusty Rocket Launcher to take out any obstacle, big or small, that might stand in his path. His [[BulletHell Nail Grenades]] enable him to hold down a area, preventing enemies from entering without suffering constant damage, and he is strong and durable enough to take down even the toughest enemies, with his powerful weaponry and legendary RocketJump. However, he's not only pretty slow, but he's also a JackOfAllStats, with nothing he beats his teammates in (The Scout, Pyro, Medic and Spy are faster whereas the Demoman, Heavy, Engineer and Sniper can deal more damage), so he must learn to adapt and utilize his enemies' strengths and weaknesses to his advantage.

* RocketJump: Coming off the heels of the TropeNamer UrExample from Franchise/Quake, it's obvious that he has access to this ability.

Identifiable via his riot helmet with a lowered visor, armoured jacket and knee pads, the Demoman is the master of explosives. While he is a little slower than other classes, he more than makes up for it with his incredibly deadly and powerful GrenadeLauncher and Pipebomb Launcher, which are useful for fights with enemies in close quarters and setting up deadly traps respectively. He is also capable of planting a Detpack, an extremely powerful explosive that can open up alternate routes on certain maps for those who closely overserve their surroundings (and instantly kills anyone within the blast radius). However, not only does he lack serious armour and thus be more at risk than a stronger class like a Soldier or Pyro, but his weapons are also inaccurate and require practice to master, requiring him to plan his attacks and make sure he deals with enemies breaking in.

* JokeCharacter: The Pyro is infamously underpowered. Her flamethrower deals average damage with horrible reach, and the lingering flames deal a whopping eight damage. The Incendiary Cannon is like the Soldier's Rocket Launcher, but about 40% weaker. She's got average armor, decent speed, but most damningly doesn't have the Double-Barrel Shotgun that many other classes can fall back on.

''Armed with'': [[WrenchWhack Wrench]] (can repair buildings and a teammate's armor at the cost of metal, and can also be used as a JokeWeapon like the Crowbar), [[RayGun Railgun]] (not very powerful and has a terrible rate of fire, but quite effective if fighting from a distance and has a unique ammo supply), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Double-Barrel Shotgun]] (useful for self-defense if caught away from your sentry or if you needs to kill a enemy trying to mess up your buildings), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (should only be used if you're out of EMP Grenades, as they're less powerful and not as ranged), {{EMP}} Grenades (a OneHitKill if you know how to use it properly)

* JackOfAllStats: While he lacks many weaknesses, he is not the best at anything really - the Scout and Medic can move faster without the need of the RocketJump, the Demoman and Heavy can deal more upfront damage in a firefight, the Pyro and Spy are better at area control with their Grenades, and the Engineer and Sniper

* RocketJump: Coming off the heels of the TropeNamer UrExample from VideoGame/Quake1, it's obvious that he has access to this ability.

* DamageOverTime: Is capable of inducing this through his deadly Medkit, infected a enemy, which is like being on fire, except there's higher DPS, it spreads to teammates, and it can never, ever be put out, except by an allied Medic (or death).

* HeroicBuild: He's as ripped as the game's primitive graphics will allow.

* BigBad/TheLeader: Depending on whether or not he's on your team, as he will typically be the one leading the team's defences and charges.

* RocketJump: Coming off the heels of the TropeNamer UrExample from VideoGame/Quake, it's obvious that he has access to this ability.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Averted - both his Shotguns are good at fighting from a range, but the Double-Barrel Shotgun

Identifiable via his riot helmet with a lowered visor, armoured jacket and knee pads, the Demoman is the master of explosives. While he is a little slower than other classes, he more than makes up for it with his incredibly deadly and powerful GrenadeLauncher and Pipebomb Launcher, which are useful for fights with enemies in close quarters and setting up deadly traps respectively. He is also capable of planting a Detpack, an extremely powerful explosive that can open up alternate routes on certain maps for those who closely overserve their surroundings (and instantly OneHitKills anyone within the blast radius). However, not only does he lack serious armour and thus be more at risk than a stronger class like a Soldier or Pyro, but his weapons are also inaccurate and require practice to master, requiring him to plan his attacks and make sure he deals with enemies breaking in.

Identifiable via his desert camouflage suit, grass camouflage headgear, colored stripes and boots, the Sniper is the one class you ''never'' want to be in the sights of. His legendary SniperRifle is capable of headshotting and charging up for strong bodyshots, both of which can be a OneHitKill to even the Heavy with a Medic backing him up.

* Charged Attack: The SniperRifle does this. Hold it down long enough, and a simple bodyshot will suffice to OneHitKill nearly all targets.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (Very good for fighting at long range or finishing off a enemy wounded by your Napalm Grenades), [[KillItWithFire Flamethrower]] ([[VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck Don't bother]]), [[KillItWithFire Incendiary Cannon]] (Essentially a weaker Rocket Launcher that sets the impact site alight), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (Useful for taking down a single enemy or dealing with a crowd), [[MolotovCocktail Napalm Grenade]] (Can deal good damage, leaves a burning cloud that lasts a while, and ignite a enemy for a easier kill)

* GasMaskMooks: Enemy Pyros have this as their new model (the original simply had her in a hood and visor). Friendly Pyros are aversions.

* HeroicMime: Like the rest of his teammates, he only ever says "Medic!" and "Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!", as well as a few grunts.

''Armed with'': [[CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded, although the Scout can use it a bit more effectivly with his speed), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (good damage and effective at long-range, but not powerful to kill most enemies who aren't badly wounded and need to be finished off), [[NailEm Nailgun]] (Only useful if you're good at circle-strafing, where it can quickly tear most enemies to pieces, or if used against a Sentry Gun), {{Caltrops}} (cuts a enemy's speed in half and deals a little damage when dropped on the floor), [[ConcussionFrags Concussion Grenades]] (can be used to send you flying into the air or to disorientate a enemy pursuing you, or can be used to simply annoy enemies by dropping one into their spawn)

!!The Pyro
Identifiable via [[SamusIsAGirl her]] flame-resistant hazard suit, gas mask, opaque face-plate, and large fuel tanks on her back, the Pyro is the queen of divide-and-conquer. Focused on igniting enemies by any means necessary, she is most notable for her Napalm Grenades which, if they don't kill a enemy in a matter of seconds, ignites them and takes off a good chunk of their health, forcing them to find a Medic in a hurry, and her Incendiary Cannon, which functions like the Soldier's rocket launcher but deals less damage in exchange for igniting the impact zone. However, she isn't very skilled at dealing upfront damage, so she should focus on assisting her team by distracting and weakening enemies with her fiery repertoire.

''Armed with'': [CrowbarCombatant Crowbar]] (a JokeWeapon that should be disregarded), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Single-Barrel Shotgun]] (Very good for fighting at long range or finishing off a enemy wounded by your Napalm Grenades), [[KillItWithFire Flamethrower]] ([[VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck Don't bother]]), [[KillItWithFire Incendiary Cannon]] (Essentially a weaker Rocket Launcher that sets the impact site alight), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (Useful for taking down a single enemy or dealing with a crowd), [[MolotovCocktail Napalm Grenade]] (Can deal good damage, leaves a burning cloud that lasts a while, and ignite a enemy for a easier kill)
* {{BFG}}: The Napalm Cannon, which shares a model with the Rocket Launcher.
* CherryTapping: Actually killing someone with the Flamethrower.
* CrossDressingVoices: She has the same masculine voice as the other mercs.
* DamageOverTime: Her main shtick.
* GasMaskMooks: Enemy Pyros have this as their new model (the original simply had her in a hood and visor). Friendly Pyros are aversions.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: She's canonically female, but due to that being established years after the game's release, her in-game voice [[CrossDressingVoices is the same masculine voice the other classes have]].

!!The Spy:
Identifiable via his camouflage suit, balaclava and laser headset, the Spy is the thinking man's class and everyone else's worst nightmare. He is able to disguise himself as any other player on the field and feign his own death, enabling him to instill paranoia in the enemy and keep them distracted before he goes in for a BackStab, which is a OneHitKill against any enemy in the game. While he is armed with some weapons and armor to defend himself if discovered, he is not built for fighting and so must rely upon stealth and deception to assist his team by eliminating critical threats and taking down Engineer buildings.

''Armed with'': [[KnifeNut Knife]] (a OneHitKill if it lands in the back, otherwise functions as a stronger Crowbar), [[AwesomeButImpractical Tranquilizer Gun]] (can slow down a enemy, but deals so little damage and is so slow that it should only be used to slow down a pursuer or secure a backstab - if you get a kill with it, the victim will NeverLiveItDown), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Double-Barrel Shotgun]] (EmergencyWeapon to fight for your life in case you get spotted), [[NailEm Nailgun]] (Can be used to distract and confuse a enemy, but not of much use for killing), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (Useful for destroying a Sentry Gun or taking down a enemy, since you can throw without losing your disguise), [[InterfaceScrew Hallucination Grenade]] (makes a enemy see and hear things that aren't there, such as grenades or flames, and can be a pain to deal with)
* AscendedGlitch: The idea for him originally comes from a glitch in the original Team Fortress where players would spawn with the wrong colors.
* BackStab: TropeNamer. His ''Team Fortress 2'' successor is the TropeCodifier.
* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent

* PlayingPossum: Via Feign Death. It's rarely ever useful, since most players get paranoid while dealing with a Spy and will tend to resort to BeatingADeadBody.

* Percussive Maintenance: Much like his successor, he fixes and upgrades his equipment by smashing it repeatedly with his wrench.

* SixthRanger: The final merc to be added to the game.

Identifiable via his hardhat, overalls, body armour, work shirt and work gloves, the Engineer can fortify his base with the all-powerful Sentry Gun, supply other defenders with ammunition and armor via the Dispenser, or use his Teleporters to quickly transport his allies across their base or even to the enemy's fortress. In addition to these incredible structures, he is also notable for his deadly EMP Grenades, which in most circumstances can be a OneHitKill via detonating a enemy's entire ammo repertoire. However, his [[SquishyWizard low health and armor]] prevent him from being a true offensive powerhouse and land him neatly in the defensive category.

''Armed with'': [[WrenchWhack Wrench]] (can repair buildings and a teammate's armor at the cost of metal, and can also be used as a JokeWeapon like the Crowbar), [[RayGun Railgun]] (not very powerful, but quite effective if fighting from
a distance), [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Double-Barrel Shotgun]] (useful for self-defense if caught away from his sentry or if he needs to kill a Spy trying to mess up his buildings), [[GrenadeSpam Hand Grenade]] (should only be used if you're out of EMP Grenades), {{EMP}} Grenades (a OneHitKill if you know how to use it properly)

Identifiable via his hardhat, overalls, body armour, work shirt and work gloves, the Engineer can fortify his base with the all-powerful Sentry Gun, supply other defenders with ammunition and armour via the Dispenser, or use his Teleporters to quickly transport his allies across their base or even to the enemy's fortress. In addition to these incredible structures, he is also notable for his deadly EMP Grenades, which in most circumstances can be a OneHitKill via detonating a enemy's entire armour repertoire. However, his [[SquishyWizard low health and armour]] prevent him from being a true offensive powerhouse and land him neatly in the defensive category.
