Well I just got the game and its sooo hard! I have no idea what to do/be , how to do it, and like I am sooo confused... does anyone know where there is some kind of tutorial or like help learning or something...
 
what do you not know how to do? shoot people, capture points or intel.. what exactly?
 
well first of all, the engineer. I figured out how to build a sentry, but how do I upgrade it...

Secondly, is there a way to spawn from different points? Or do I always spawn from the same point...etc?

Then, what is the second mouse button for? it says special class attacks, but I click it and nothing happens..

and basically any pointers/tips/etc. That anyone can give me...

By teh way, thanks Einhanderkiller for those vids.

I got the game about a week ago. You upgrade the sentry by banging on it with your wrench. In the bottom of the screen tells you how much metal you have. You spawn with 200 and 200 is the max you can carry at once. To get metal you can collect amo pickups on the ground, or get metal from your dispenser, you can also get metal from something an engineer built that just had been destroyed. Each sentry upgrade takes 150 metal I think it is? Theres 3 levels of sentry, the first level is what you build, then bang on it up upgrade it to 2&3.

You always spawn from the same point. Engineers can build teleports. These are circle things on the ground, engineers usually place them right outside your spawn. Then they build an exit somewhere. To use one, stand on it and you will arrive where ever the engineer put the exit. Both and a entrance and exit from the same engineer have to be up for them to be operational.

The second mouse button is for classes like the spy, who use it to go stealth/unstealth. For the demo-man to detonate his sticky bombs. I can't remember what other classes use the second mouse button, but the engineer does not use it.

two links for you:

Playing the game 2 or 3 days you will know most of everything.

Some random tips. When someone on voice comms says spy-check, a pryo needs to run around the area with their flamethrower to check for any spys.

Spys can cloak as someone on your team. So say I'm playing a spy, I can cloak as a engineer and to my own team, I will look like a regular spy with a mask over my face, but to the enemy team I will look like one of there engineers and lets say hobojo is the only engineer on the enemy team, if I was disguised as an enemy engineer, the enemy team would see two engineers names hobojo so one of them must be a spy. You can't run through an enemy, so if your playing a spy, you want to avoid contact with any enemy because if he/she notices that your like a rock and can't run past you if your in a doorway or something, then they are gonna kill you.

As a demo-man you have two different nade laucher thingys. The one that holds a 4-load shell is detonate-on-impact. So you want to fire those directly into an enemy. Your 8-load shells are "stickys" that you stick onto doorways or behind doors and right click to blow them. Only 8 stickys can be up at a time, meaning you can't have like 20 stuck onto an area and blow them all up at once.

Playing a heavy is one of my favorite classes. Call for a medic by pressing E, you can use that key to call for a medic for any class. If you have a steady medic healing you, you want to protect him, say a enemy pyro runs by you and your medic is behind you, you better damn well stop what your shooting at and kill the pryo trying to take out your medic. As a heavy you want to use close areas to your advantage, your guns bullets spread dramatically the longer distance you are to your target. So you want to get behind corners and show up in an enemy infested tight area and unload on them. Remember to turn around frequenty and check on your medic if you have one, make sure no enemys slipped by.

Also, crit shots are completely random. If someone kills you super fast then normal, they probably critted. If a solider rockets you, you can see their crits the best because of how bright the rocket looks.
 
lol I got to say, I took all your advices and videos into deep studying, and then I went into the server as a Pyro and an Engineer... LoL It REALLY helped alot, I'm doing much better now, I got 24 kills in one game, while before I was getting like 5-8.

I have to say this game is really fun and to a point, addicting. Like its not like otehr games, where there's lots of stress involved, its more laid back and relaxed, which I like.
 
Yup, and the classes are so different. The most fun I have is when my team mates are working together and talking.

best thing to do is play one class over and over and over until you get good with it. then move on to the next. then you will find you will know which is the best class for the specific situation you find yourself in.
 
If you have no idea, i would start off with a solider, pretty simple, strong and effective. Until you learn the maps etc. Aim for the feet if you cant get a clear shot at the body. 2 shots for most enemies, 2-3 for another solider and 3-4 for a heavy (if no crits). Make sure you kill the medic first if you see one tagging along, although, often easier said than done if a heavy is waddling along in front. One of my favorite pass times is sniping a heavy in the head with a full power sniper round (1 shot kill) and then watching the medic run around by himself with no idea what to do (shoot him too if he doesn't run fast enough).

On the engineer front, it takes 200 metal to upgrade your sentry 1 level. You can get metal from the little metal / ammo boxes (various sizes), from a dispenser (option # 2 on your build menu), from a dead players weapon (just walk over it) or from the med cupboard at your spawn (use this if you are building close to the spawn as it gives you 200 metal instantly). Make sure that you keep a dispenser close by so that you can a) heal, and b) get more metal if someone attacks. If a spy puts a sapper on any of your built items, hit them twice with your wrench to remove it. All items are disabled and get damaged when they are sapped. However, i normally try and kill the spy first as they typically keep sapping your stuff or stab you. Nothing more satisfying than smacking down a spy with your wrench.

Right mouse button - As a heavy it spins your gun so that you can start shooting much quicker than if you simply press the left mouse button. However, it also slows your movement. So, hold down the right button just as you round a corner. As a sniper, it zooms (the longer you are zoomed, the more powerful the shot - watch the meter and the brightness of the red dot). As a spy it cloaks (limited duration), As a demo it detonates your stickies (option # 2 on your weapon list - note: when you have the sticky gun, hold down the left mouse button to get extra distance on your sticky).

I would recommend just joining a server and playing. Takes a while to get the hang of it and figure out how the maps are arranged. Once you get the hang of the maps, switch around the characters and see what you like. I play almost all of the classes regularly and have over 7000 kills as a sniper. I don't have the patience or sneakiness to be a spy, but other than that, all classes are pretty even. Obviously each has its strengths and weaknesses, and as you figure those out, you will start cranking the kills.
