In your opinion, what is the hardest class to play and to become good at , i would have to say spy
 
I'd say "spy," but I think every class has a similar "learning curve" to get from n00b to awesome.

However, learning how to be awesome with a class requires that you stay alive long enough to practice it. Spy and Scout are hard to stay alive long enough to get good with it, making them more difficult.

Easiest? Engineer and Medic. Engineer because you stay far enough back that, as long as you keep an eye out for spies, you can stay alive for a long time and practice. Medic because you get to stand behind a big meat shield and practice.

That's not to say that either class is "easy" :D
 
id go with spy since its not a class that you cant go out n get ubered :P

FYI i uber snipers,engis,spys
 
Suprisingly, i'm not going to say Spy, I'd think the hardest for me is scout.

1. I can't aim and because of my location/Lantecy, Can't hit players well.
2. I'm not used to the fast movement and double jump.

So either way, I sux at scout :p
 
Honestly? Sniper. I play every class very well (not being self centered or anything), and the hardest one I've figured out to play has been sniper... You have to know EVERY spot where someone could hide at and pick people off. You also have to know how much of a charge it would take to kill someone (without having to fully charge/etc)... There's also having to keep spies off of you, the occasional scout, and of course, sniper dancing on 2fort.. =D
 
PYRO....if you add axetinguisher of course!

nah seriously... Spy can be though sometimes as well as sniper if you are not used to the map.
 
I'd have to agree with Kunai, the Scout and Spy are the hardest, closely followed by the pyro and medic. Medic because while you can stand behind a big meat shield, you are one of the most hunted classes in the game. If you can get the medic, you can get the heavy/soldier/whatever class he happened to be healing at that moment. Also you have to have a sense to know when to get out of a bad situation, even if it is a tough choice between whether you can make it by healing your guy, or if you'd stay alive by running away and sacrificing the guy you were healing.
In short, there is more to the medic than just point and heal, all I'm saying.
 
My vote would have to be scout, followed by a spy.

Pyros, I wouldn't really say they are hard to play but they are tricky
 
Because of the mechanics of the game id have to say spy is the hardest. Pyro is also hard.
 
Definitely spy ... It really takes some skill to be good at. I'd also have to say Sniper, because no matter how hard I try everyone else always seems faster at finding me and aiming for my melon. Scout is a little tough to get used to, but once you realize that speed is your friend, it is a lot of fun, especially on Blackmesa :)
 
I cant believe I'm saying this: Heavy; I hate running around in goldrush only to be shot at by 34987359 snipers or 3298472938 demos
 
Scout and Sniper
Scout: For Garis' reason of poor latency :p
Sniper: having to constant spy check and not get killed by betters.
 
I vote spy. If you ever watch really good spys, its like watching an art form, some spys can amazingly maneuver through enemy ranks with little problem.

Scout would be second hardest class, with very little health, it's hard to really practice long enough in between deaths. I still have trouble controlling the speed with double jumping.
