OMG great tip.
As heavy or any class bunny hopping can shorten your trips between cp.

Slight tip for medics:
While you syringe launcher gun isn't good at accuracy at longer ranges, it's great to shoot behind cover from medium ranges, since the syringes will go over the cover and rain on the enemy behind, I killed two people in a few seconds doing this, and they couldn't get me, since I was behind cover.

Spy when disguised only carry the main gun of the character, never a secondary like knife broken bottle etc.

Pyro's never stay on fire, like others.

Scout's acts as two people on a capture point and not just as one as others (faster to take points).

Well most of these might be well known already , but newbies won't know.

You actually only need one sticky ... and remember to jump while popping the bomb for that extra height.

If youre going to be a medic, be sure to be knifeheavy's healer. He gets a hacker-like amount of kills.

Some of the tips I was gonna add are already mentioned in the game, since they worked so well for me. So my tip is: read the tips while loading.

ps: I actually have a good tip: When selecting your class, there will be a number next to them indicating how many players on your team are that class. Try not to be engineer when 50% of your team is engie.

Spies can take out those pesky turrets. Soldiers can do it as well but they're in the line of fire.

Time your Ubercharge with other medics to crack a heavy defense.

My best tip, besides rocket jumping, is this:



When you play medic, heal EVERYONE. Don't find a heavy and sit there attached to his hip. Pick a main person to heal, but keep everyone else that you see topped off at all times.



Edit: Wow. Didn't realize that I revived this.

My tip is:

If youre the red team and you can enter the gates once setup time is over (eg, dustbowl lvl 1 and 3, or goldrush) uber the pyro and enter the blue area. its almost cheating.
