There are nine official classes that can be played in Team Fortress 2, they are as follows:

Class roles
All nine classes are grouped into three specific combat types, offensive, defensive, and support, but all can be played outside their assigned role depending on your choice of strategy.
Offensive
![Leaderboard class pyro.png](/w/images/thumb/8/80/Leaderboard_class_pyro.png/20px-Leaderboard_class_pyro.png)
Offensive classes (Scout, Soldier and Pyro) are the main attack force of the team. Whether it's assaulting control points or grabbing the Intelligence, these classes specialize in causing mayhem and destruction. Scouts have the ability to capture points twice as fast as any other class and can get there with their top-tier speed. Soldiers pack a punch with their devastating Rocket Launchers. Pyros can stir up a fiery havoc in enemy ranks with an ambush or extinguish their own burning friends.
Defensive
![Leaderboard class engineer.png](/w/images/thumb/1/12/Leaderboard_class_engineer.png/20px-Leaderboard_class_engineer.png)
Defensive classes (Demoman, Heavy and Engineer) serve to inhibit enemy access and to hold enemies back from vital points on the map. In total, Defense has the most firepower of all the groups, and specializes in expelling all this power at one time. Demomen can safeguard areas with sticky bombs that they can detonate when enemies come by. Heavies are great for mowing down incoming troops and pushing back forces. Heavies can also keep enemies in an area while whittling their health for teammates to finish off. Engineers can build Sentry Guns with amazing power, as well as Teleporters and Dispensers to support their team.
Support
![Leaderboard class spy.png](/w/images/thumb/3/33/Leaderboard_class_spy.png/20px-Leaderboard_class_spy.png)
Support classes (Medic, Sniper and Spy) make the backbone of any team. They offer the offensive and defensive classes an extra edge in battle and can help turn the tide of the game. Whether crippling the enemy advance from behind or keeping teammates healed, the support classes are always handy to have around. Medics have the power to heal teammates and overheal them to 150% of their maximum health. Snipers can take out enemies from a distance and use Jarate to extinguish fires and increase the damage dealt by their teammates. Spies can infiltrate enemy lines undetected, disable buildings and assassinate critical threats.
Health points
A Medic may overheal someone to 150% of their normal health maximum. Classes can refill their health through a number of ways.

Speed
Speed is measured in-game using the command cl_showpos 1
, measuring in velocity units (v.) The standard movement speed is 100% (that of Spy, Sniper, Pyro, and Engineer.) Note forward speed is obtained by pressing the forward, left or right keys, backward speed obtained by pressing the backward key, while crouching speed is found by pressing the crouch button. Backward speed is generally calculated by 90% of the class's forward speed, while crouching is at 33%. Forward and backward speeds are, however, the same when crouching or charging/zooming as a Sniper. During humiliation all classes on the winning team will move 10% faster and all on the losing team will move 10% slower.
For Spies, disguising as a slower class (Soldier, Demoman & Heavy) will accurately reduce the Spy's speed to the appropriate speed of the class he is disguised as (e.g. Spy disguised as Heavy will move to the speed of Heavy) and remain at that speed unless he undisguises or Cloaks. Disguising as a faster class (Scout, Medic, etc.) however will not make the Spy move faster and will continue to move at 100% speed.
A Demoman wielding the Eyelander will gain approximately 8% on his speed with every killing blow or "head." With a Chargin' Targe he charges at 250% of the standard movement speed. Soldier's speed while wielding the Equalizer increases by 10% with every loss of 40 health below 200.
The Horseless Headless Horsemann is not a class, but is shown here for comparison.

Size
All classes have varying height, with the Engineer being the shortest and the Heavy being the tallest class. Classes also have various builds and general body sizes; each class has their own individual set of shaped hitboxes used for bullet-based attacks.
However, for the purposes of collisions with objects, players, melee attacks, and projectiles, all classes are considered to be the same width and height. This means the Huntsman will act as a headshot independently of a class' actual head height. This also means that no class has an advantage or disadvantage when it comes to navigating corners or tight spaces.
