So Valve is looking to MAAAAAAYBE add a 10th class, and I wonder what you would do ?

Serious, feasible suggestions only.

My idea: The Architect.
Like The Engineer, only not.

Weapon 1: Nailgun (like the Medic's Syringe Gun, but with Nails)
Weapon 2: Pistol
Weapon 3: Metal ruler
Special 4: Construction
Special 5: Destruction

The Architect, whilst having little hitpoints and not much firepower, provides a vital service - he changes the battlefields.
He builds Walls to cover behind, Walls with an opening for a sniper, Boxes / Steps to stand on, ramps, whatever.

These covers can be upgraded and repaired with metal, which he can gain from fallen weapons as well.

Build an actual, if rather small, Team Fortress ! Just be careful, because Soldiers, Demomen, Heavys and the Payload will, if given the chance, blow your beautiful constructions to smithereens.

Born in China, the Architect grew up amongst bamboo and soon learned to build simple things from it. But he wanted to go... higher and higher.


Unlockable
1. 15 achievements: Build small room: NEED A DISPENSER HERE.
2. 20 Achievements: Build a launching pad lol i unno
3. All Achievements: TBA 2009


I dunno if this would break gameplay, but it would be epic if you could make one of every kind of them to change the flow of gameplay.

:/ But they'd have to protect against blocking, spawn camping, etc.

*thinks long and hard*

Ah! I've got one:

The Miner
A man who lives his life underground.

Melee: Miner's Pick. Crit animation is a powerful downward swing.
Secondary Ranged: Pistol
Primary Ranged: Flechette Launcher. The Flechette grenades cover an area about 3 Heavies in diameter, and the blast lingers for about 3 seconds while the metal shards bounce around. Tunnels also are always this wide, as an aside.
Special 1: Dig
Special 2: Collapse

The Miner doesn't seem like much at first glance, but he is indispensable in combat. The flechette launcher he carries makes him an "Area Denial" combatant, and they also rip apart the Engineer's constructs, dealing double damage to what he's built.

The Miner's primary mission, however, is to create tunnels or "mining deposits" of metal that can be used by Engineers, giving them even better metal rate than a dispenser. In certain areas, he can also build trenches for cover, or mounds of dirt for higher ground.

The problem is that enemies can use his tunnels as well, and only certain areas of the map can be dug. However, miners can collapse the tunnels they've dug, crushing everyone inside (be sure no friendlies are in there!).

Born in West Virginia, this bearded, gritty character was the best at what he did - carving up the earth in search of coal for his company. However, he found rather perverse joy in digging tunnels...and then collapsing them just for the hell of it.

Unlockables:
15 Achievements: Ol' Reliable. A Miner's pick on steroids, this high-end mining tool deals only 80% damage of the original, but it constructs tunnels, trenches, and dirt mounds 50% faster.
25 Achievements: X-Ray Goggles. Replacing his Pistol, the X-Ray Goggles allow multiple benefits for the Miner - the most obvious one being where enemies are located, including your tunnels. However, perhaps its most valuable asset is that it reveals enemy Spies in your ranks. The downside? Its range is VERY limited, and it reduces your vision to the same range as the bridges in 2Fort. As a humorous side-effect, you also see the skeletal structures of your teammates - the skeleton's color indicates whose team they belong to.
All Achievements: Ravager. This upgraded Flechette Launcher is a beast to behold. It doesn't seem any different from the basic Flechette launcher, but in crowds of 3 or more people, the flechettes activate a "heat-seeking" mode, causing them to "gravitate" towards the organic targets, increasing their damage by 75%. However, because it is now geared towards organic targets, the flechettes only deal full damage to Engineer structures, now.

Some of this stuff could quite easily be considered game-breaking, but I made every effort to re-compensate with fairly significant downsides.

Meet The Scientist!

Heathl - 125

Looks like- White labcoat, safety goggles, short black hair, and Japanese orientation

Weapons-

Primary: Ray Gun- Can shoot a lazer that does 50 damage uncharged. You can hold the secondary fire button to charge your gun; the gun will start charging after 2 seconds and continues up until 4 seconds. Each second adding by 50 damage. Releasing the secondary button causes it to fire.
Damage:
Uncharged: 50
2 second: 100
3 seconds: 150
4 seconds: 200


Secondary: Acid Squirter- Shoots boiling acid from a little squirt gun pistol. It does very little damage, but it does damage overtime until they get healed or they die.
Damage:
Shot: 25 damage
Damage Over Time: 5 damage per second


Melee: Beaker- Similar to the Demoman's whisky bottle, breaks when there's a crit.


Graduating from the smartest university in Japan, he's a scientific genious who has invented his own weapons.


Upgrades

15 Achivements- Pump Action Poision Gun 4000: A big water gun upgrade from the pistol that shoots poison at the enemy. Although this won't do damage at all, it does 300% damage over time than before.
Damage Over Time: 20 damage per second


20 Achivements- The "This Might Hurt a Bit"-izer: A big syringe needle that this scientist carries around. It has a dangerous chemical in it though, and possibly the first melee weapon that can use ammo, but doesn't need it. After the first hit with the needle, the chances of getting a crit on him rise up by 50%. However, the needle moves 40% slower than usual.

All Achivements- The Magnifier: This upgraded version of the Ray Gun is a beast! The big magnifying glass on the front of the barrel increases the itensity of the ray by 50%! As a downside to such power, it takes 100% longer to charge(rounded up) and there is a 2 second delay before the shot is fired.
Damage:
Uncharged: 75 damage
4 seconds: 150 damage
6 seconds: 225 damage
8 seconds: 300 damage

The VIP

Nuff said. °Д° ◉_◉ ʘﮯʘ

Hmm...

My idea: The Valkyrie.
The heroic and crime fighting twin blade master.

Weapon 1: Twin Blades (the size of each is usually between a regular-sized sword and a dagger)
Weapon 2: Bow and arrow
Weapon 3: Katana
Special 4: Self Heal
Special 5: Revitalize

The Valkyrie to some is one who has wings. But, this Valkyrie is wingless, due to a defect at birth. Nonetheless, the Valkyrie carries around twin blades, which may sometimes do double the damage if a weak point is hit.

The Valkyrie has also utilized the abilities to heal themselves over a period of time. They would only heal when they aren't attacked, though. The less the Valkyrie is attacked, the unlikelier the Self Heal ability won't reset. Also able to revitalize themselves of any other conditions, the Revitalize ability is somewhat similar to the Self Heal ability in terms of taking time to work, though it takes a bit longer than the Self Heal ability if the Valkyrie is affected by some sort of condition.

As for secondary weapons, Valkyries prefer using the bow and arrow if they wish to stay away from whomever they're attacking, or if they wish to snipe (after all, who doesn't like to snipe?). They also choose to use a katana, seeing how the twin blades might weigh them down every so often, and they need great speed to accomplish whatever challenge they are facing.

Just something I thought of out of boredom. I always liked the idea of a "Valkyrie" class.

[Paper_Waluigi]

Somehow I don't think magic would work well in TF2. ФֻФ

[Zuzu]

[Zelnor]

I think we'd all be a horrible gamebreaker.

The lazer does too much fire, people would spam walls and dispensers and block all entries / exits, the battlefields would become a piece of swiss cheese, and no engineer would be safe.

I need to rethink it.

Actually, I haven't put any damage values, so at least that one is open.

But, there need to be restrictions. No walls before entries / exits / spawns...

I mean, Engi / Archi rush would be the most boring thing evar,

[Warlord_Mike]

[Zelnor]

Sorry, but those damage values are ridiculous, and I think even a 10 % chance would bugger gameplay.

Also, Kritzkrieg. :/

[Captain Blue]

The Dude

The Dude is the same The Dude from Postal and Postal 2. He's got the same health, jumping height, and running speed as The Soldier.

Melee weapon: Machete. Critical makes blood appear on the blade. Can be thrown. It will come back like a boomerang. If it gets stuck on a wall it'll stop coming back and The Dude has to go pick it back up.
Secondary Ranged: Scissors. They can be thrown normally and kill in 2-4 headshots and are thrown quick, or can be thrown a bit slower and weaker, but they can ricochet off walls for a very long time. Critical makes a rather disgusting cut sound effect.
Primary Ranged: Shotgun with "Silencer". A live kitty cat is placed on the end of his shotgun, making it do more damage than the normal shotgun and makes the cat yeowl, but the shots also spread out quicker and thus do less damage at medium range.

Upgrades

15 Achievements: Scythe. This is an upgrade of the Machete. It swings much slower but kills in two hits. Critical animation slices the target in half. Alt fire throws the scythe. It's an instakill if it hits, but if it hits a wall it stops. The Dude has to pick it back up after he throws it.

25 Achievements: M@D Shuriken. These are an upgrade to the Scissors. They do more damage and can be thrown much faster. Critical animation has the shuriken explode, doing minor splash damage to those nearby.

All Achievements: SMEG. It's a special type of shotgun that also has an explosive alt fire. However, he has to reload after a shot of either fire. Regular shot takes longer than the normal shotgun, and the alt fire twice as long as that and uses up a lot of ammo. The Dude says a random line regarding violence or explosions when he gets a critical.

Oh, and if Machete doesn't work, there's always the shovel. He swings it sideways. Critical animation for the shovel sends the enemy flying.

[Zelnor]

Guys, this isn't appropriate class creation.

Instakill in two hits or if alt-thrown ? You've gotta be kidding me; everyone'd spam the dude and throw scythes; they don't stop if they go through people. Close to a wall, in a corridor, or ubercharged, he'd be ridiculously strong. Sorry, but I don't think that'd work.
