The thing I like is that as long as you can play FPS a little you will probably get to play at least a class decently. For guys liek me who can't aim worth crap, I can use the medic or the pyro. Or if I want to look leet and possibly potentially useless at the same time, I can use spy or scout. Or if I'm just a lazy guy who likes to shoot people while standing still I can use sniper or engineer. And if you like killing a whole bunch of things you can use the heavy, soldier or demo. Each guy suits each type of style of play. Speaking of which SS you still haven't started that Steam group. =P TF2 is a pretty awesome game and has been in my gaming cycle for a while, I even joined a clan.

I find the Medic to be a good starting class because it lets you learn the flow of the game, and more Medics are always helpful.

I have trouble hitting people and can't seem to say alive longer than one or two encounters. Also damage I inflict never seems to have the same effect (read: killing) that comparable damage done to me does - particular with the Pyro's flamethrower. Is TF2 initially tough on the PC too? I find the game oddly compelling but it can be really really frustrating for a neophyte...
