Will there be player class restrictions?

[The Monkey]

In Day of Defeat, you sometimes see that there're restrictions on some classes (like max 3 machine gunners etc.). Looking the player classes on the new site (great job, BTW), it seems that certain classes (like the pyro) have an advantage before other (like the soldier). That makes me wonder if there's gonna be restrictions on the classes in TF2 like there (sometimes) is in DoD. Otherwise, people will probably choose special classes ahead of "standard" ones. Does anyone have futher information?

My guess is that it will be up to the server settings =\

I'm fairly sure it will be server settings as well.

Plus, the game is about the "rock paper scissors" idea. Say a pyro can kick a soldiers arse. But a HWguy can thrash a pyro. So, if thier whole team goes pyro, you whole team goes HWguy and wins. I know thats a tad simplistic, but thats the basic idea of the class system.

Pyros, beating soldiers?! This is an impossibility of the highest order. If this were just an uncommon occurrence, I would say, "you've either met the best pyro and/or the worst soldier," but this is SO impossible that if you see this happen you better stop playing Team Fortress and devote all your time trying to get out of the parallel dimension you've fallen into.

Also, pyros beat HWs about 90% of the time.

You see the "say" at the start of what you quoted? See if you can figure out what I put it there for

You can't even say it. Assuming, even hypothetically, causes some weird space-time continuum tear that messes with the known laws of the universe. Pyros cannot beat soldiers; this is an infallible truth.

It's so true that it's the unspoken code of a soldier to kill himself first if a pyro drops his health into the red, just to spare himself the shame and preserve the natural order. Go on, ask any soldier. WE DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.

omg, come on darkside, read the bloody post again. I'm not saying a pyro can beat a soldier. I know a pyro can't beat a soldier. I was creating a completely hypotetical situation, to explain that the game is balanced so that no one class outmatches every other.

Fine, replace "soldier" with "scout" in my first post. You pain.

(Read my post again, I was joking around saying you can't even say it hypothetically...but I'm putting this post in parenthesis so we can pretend you understood that I understood you in the first place [try and follow that, hehe] and was making a joke off of it. We'll pretend so that you don't look silly for not getting my sarcasm, kk?)

<_<

Pyros can't beat scouts either btw.



I'm just sayin'.

Server restrictions, although i think the soldier should be infinite!
