Needs Improvement

this article needs some improvement. More info and a picture of a defense would be sufficient. --CountDOODOO 07:26, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Added some more info and a 'Defense Strategy' section. --Balphezar 17:51, 24 March 2008 (CDT)

Overhaul, Part I

I have went and cleaned up this article a tad. The Spy, Sniper, and Pyro class strategies have been greatly expanded. The previous Spy tips were completely and entirely wrong. Defensive Spies are not to use hit and run strategies against weak enemies. They're to get behind the defenders and backstab any key classes that are difficult to deal with and crucial to the enemy's offense while the enemy is distracted with getting through your team's defense. Allowing your team to eliminate whatever offense is left after you've been found out.

I'm not that good a Sniper, but I know what his role was, and expanded that section. If anybody has anything to edit with that, go ahead. I do know that Counter Sniping is, while useful and a key strategy to any Sniper, offensive Support, not defensive, though, so that shouldn't be in there.

The Pyro, well, it was kind of the same thing said earlier, but expanded to be more informative.

I took out Spawn Camping from the tips. It is, as stated, frowned upon, and is used more of an offensive strategy to keep defenders at bay while the rest of the team completes what they need to do. It's easier(theoretically speaking) to spawn camp and have Scouts claim 2 points on dustbowl then to spawn camp while holding your camp for 5 minutes.

The Defensive Classes section has been eliminated, they have their own page, they can also go with class strategies. Though a link to the Defensive Classes page via 'See Also' section should probably be added.

I also went and fixed many grammatical errors.

More General Strategies and class-specific overhauls will come later, or by another user if they wish. --GigaBowserX 18:10, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
