I found it to be the most satisfying class to play. There is a small sense of accomplishment in every headshot, especially when the dead one is another sniper.
also this. I love breaking up medic-assault combos right before they can uber, and picking off that little shithead engi who thinks he found the rocket proof corner for his sentry
wall pinning is sweet.
Really? I feel it's the other way around, if I have my mic and I order a medic to stick with me and just guide him through the whole process, we usually win/get a lot of kills/I get a dedicated medic.
As that Engi, I love to wrangle that asswipe sniper who thinks he found this perfect angle from which to pick off my teammates from afar.
However, I am having much more fun right now playing the super offensive engi with mini turrets in random chokes to load up mini-crits on my frontier justice on the front line.

I play (played) mostly medic, and I can tell you straight up.
Medic without a mic is almost rage-worthy. You spam your I AM UBERING YOU macro in chat...and the guy backs up or fires all of his rockets before you deploy or something.
Torte and I should play medic / heavy combo, we'd wreck some pubs. FITH played in a couple leagues back in soldier/demo update era and I was the team medic, I'm so pro status.

As that asswipe sniper you were describing, I love putting a bullet in the head of an engi who is still trying to place their sentry.

I have more posts than Torte. :O
See, the real issue is that no one is really communicating or controlling the pair. Whether the medic is the observant directory one or the offensive unit. Someone needs to be directing/driving the force.
When I'm with someone, I tell them what I am doing, what I see, to check behind me for spies (or that I will). I tell him to stand around corners because I'm exposing myself to take more damage to get uber fast or to do some poking around.
I tell him not to stray too far, to heal XYZ unit near us, to overheal him, to pop uber when I say, to get ready to pop uber, to tell him where we are popping uber. Tell him where we are going, what are the plans (kill the soldier, go for the sentry, drop down back onto the cart, etc.).
Three rules when I play with a medic that usually keeps him alive and myself. They're obvious for most people: Never go in front of me 2. Pop uber if you take any sort of damage, I can work better with heals a lost uber than the other way around. 3. Leave me if I'm going to die.
Blackrobe is pretty good, he can attest for how we/I play :B
lol that's all stuff I KNOW because I'm an ex-league medic. Haha. I spoil people I play with because I already do all that stuff, and people know that I do it...
I guess I take more of the role of the observer. You shoot, I'll take care of the rest...which I feel like is my job as a support unit. Your job is to point your gun at people and go nuts.
I think you and I wouldn't work out as a pair because I hate it when people try and tell me things that I'm already doing, rofl. XD

I did it yeterday for a round or two after no one else would step up. I pretty much spent most of my ubers by following a dude who looked like he was gonna charge and stops just after I say go
At least one person needs a mic there, but two is obviously prefered.

I've seen more people do this now
engi is usually too passive for me. I'll eventually start having fun, only to get my shit ruined by a coordinated uber

I don't think you need two with a mic. Just a medic who will push people to do what they need. I love playing Pub-medic because I'm (egooooo) a really good medic and people are blown away at what a non-retard behind the medic can do. Haha.
Constantly telling people to back up, if I stop healing someone to get someone who is at red health to at least half, I tell them so they don't run off, always keeping an eye out for shit behind us and calling it out...I mean, personally, the way I play medic, I could be the only one with voice chat and I feel like I'd be fine. :p

My favourite part of sniping has to be when I realize my shot is going to be wide only to end up headshotting a cloaked spy.
Although last night I had 5 dominations as a sniper on 2 fort only to have 6-7 snipers appear on the other team. That was fun too.
The most satisfying class I find is spy though. You need to use the regular watch though. Nothing quite like a 5 chain BS spree on a bridge or battlements.

Thats why I love the mini-sentry style. As I only pub I gave up expecting my team to hold long enough to allow me to get setup in a good spot. Since I play 99% payload maps I find ledge, corner, or random rock near my team and set up shop. Of course the same could apply on other maps as well.
Edit - I love talkative medics when I play heavy, I never pay attention to spies. I just shoot the crap out of whoever in front of me, if theres a spy behind me I wouldn't know. I feel like the heavy from the intro video.

Turbine is such a bad map TT
No, it's a great map! It never ends and your actions almost have no consequences because as long as the base defenses are up, it's almost impossible to win or lose!
It makes practicing your gameplay and aim really good!
And yeah, it was only an hour on gameplay. The good ol' days D:
