    Some of you have known by now that I am extremely addicted to Steam games but more specifically Team Fortress 2. Hell, I even got it in mid-July and accumulated 250+ hours on it by now. The game is well balanced in most fields which is why it's popular today (Not as popular as before I started) but you can tell it'll still stand strong. However, what I don't find very balanced are the players who I play with. Playing against is fine by me whether it's against a noob or an experienced player but in Co-Op is where it pisses me off.

    MvM is the Co-Op in TF2 where you kill robots that are trying to deliver a bomb into your base. Basically, anything you see that is colored blue is meant to be shot, blown up, etc. Unfortunately some people have problems with that and they would be the newbies. Now the P2ps, the awesome ones with hats on them mostly know what they're doing and I LOVE playing with them. On the other hand, Gibus wearing jackasses are who I vote to kick off most of the time. In fact, newbies are one of the only reasons why I don't like MvM.

    Scout: In Mvm, you get cash from killing the AI robots so the swift Scout is the best for picking up cash. However, I always get bugged by the scout who seems to upgrade only his stupid Force-A-Nature or Pistol over his resistance upgrades (speed, bullet resistance, etc). I myself recently started using the Shortstop-Mad Milk-Fano'War loadout which should be the best loadout for the class.

    Soldier: The job of this class is simple. Just blow **** up with your rockets but even so, some people have problems with that and use their stupid shovel / shotgun. Furthermore, no buff banners and using the Airstrike? Leave the game.

    Pyro: The idiots I deal with here are the ones using their axes / flare guns on the tank over their flamethrower. I honestly would kick any Pyro I see just for pulling out their Detonator and ignoring their flamethrowers. It's frigging W + Left click, how hard is it? Also, why the hell would they upgrade useless Burn Damage and Burn Time?

    Demoman: Demoknights, really?

    Heavy: The one who uses his fists and upgrades his shotgun / sandvich.

    Engineer: This class is the most aggravating class you can play with if a newbie is playing it. Since newbie Engies piss me off so much, let me list out the **** Engies will give you.
    - Upgrades shotgun / pistol
    - Puts his nest near the spawn / bomb drop off
    - Can't avoid a sentry buster
    - Doesn't know where to put sentry
    - Doesn't know where to put dispenser
    -Doesn't know where to put both teleporters
    - Fights by himself rather than care for his sentry
    - Puts his sentry smack in the middle of the field
    - Has obvious F2P loadout
    - Doesn't listen to anyone who tells him to move his ****
    - Doesn't even move sentry where the gates are taken control of (Manhattan)
    - Attempts to take out robots with crappy pistol
    - ****ING GUNSLINGING ENGIES
    - Always uses canteen every round to rebuild his constantly destructing buildings
    - Puts teleporter exit at spawn and entrance at the front lines (Without 2-way teleporter purchased)
    - Puts teleporter exit halfway where robots spawn

    Medic: The name tells what a Medic is, to heal and yet there are still some who ignore me calling out for them. The ones who use their syringe guns and ignore people calling for them. I wouldn't mind a Medic who doesn't use Kritzkrieg but at least try to keep us alive. Oh and there are dumber ones who use their shields and revives at the worst moments.

    Sniper: There are snipers who either don't have Jarate or a good aim for headshots. It's more incredible when some Snipers use their SMGs or wear Razorbacks on maps with no spies like Manhattan.

    Spy: This class is the least reliable for Mvm. I just hate the ones who use goddamn Eternal Rewards or use Red Tape Recorders for sappers. Hell there are a lot who can't even backstab yet they wouldn't change into anything else. Come on, there's like 8 other classes to choose.


    Besides all the 9 classes I just said, the biggest part of F2Ps that I hate on Mvm are the ones who leave the game after we lose a single round and then everyone else disconnects. So much for teamwork.

    The amount of stuff here that pertains to the meta as an excuse for hating clases is making me want to wriggle up in a corner.

    Whenever I play Mann vs. Machine is:
    For Mann Up (getting an australium someday)
    Or I just go on an easy mission and do whatever I want.

    Im sorry, but Boot Camp really isn't that serious, and it shouldn't be. Mann Up is SO strict with its meta that it is nice to play Blutsauged Medic once in a while.

    Also
    Play Two Cities.
    It is Spy hell in some waves.

    I usally play as Scout, and I always upgrade my resistance. Hell, I sustain more damage than a Heavy.

    You forgot the Eureka Effect Engies who don't do ****.
    Well since I've got 2 tour of duty tickets I will be KritzKrieging heavies that are able to hit targets and have to revive them 24/7.
    I may suck a lot at MvM, but it still pisses me off when there are the idiots that don't do crap like you said.

    Yep. With my trusty Soda Popper and good resistance I jump right into the horde. Well, obviously other players must kill the robots so I can pick up money to heal me.
