Class	Health	Health	Class Differences
Scout	125	75, 50 armor	Unlike in TF2, FF Scouts aren't made for combat - their main task is to get through enemy defense and get the flag.

Pyro	175	100, 150 armor	Fortress Forever Pyro is fairly diffrent from Team Fortreess 2 Pyro - unlike in TF2, he has to rely on stacking afterburn of his flame-based weapons to kill people. He is not able to airblast, one-shot kill with melee or secondary. He is equipped with Incerdinary Grenades, Frag Grenades, Flamethrower, Incerdinary Launcher, Single-Barrelled Shotgun and a crowbar.

Demoman	175	90, 120 armor	The Demoman in Fortress Forever is not very different from his TFC or TF2 counterparts - he has MIRV Grenades, Frag Grenades, Grenade Launcher with 2 different modes (The first one launches pipes that explode on contact with enemies, the second one laucnhes pipes that will only explode upon pressing secondary fire button), devastating Detpack with timer that can be set from 5 seconds to 50 seconds, Single-Barrelled Shotgun and a crowbar.

Engineer	125	80, 50 armor	In FF, The Engineer is pretty similar to TF2's.

Medic	150	90, 100 armor	Fortress Forever Medic is more like TF2 Scout, as he is very fast and has good offensive capabilities. There is no ubercharge in FF. The Medic is able to "hit" teammates with a medkit to heal them. Hitting an enemy player will afflict them with an infection, which causes damage over time, much like afterburn. Medics are immune to being infected. Medic's equipment is: Frag Grenades, Concussion Grenades, Super Nailgun, Super Shotgun, Single-Barrelled Shotgun and a medkit
Sniper	125	90, 50 armor	The Fortress Forever Sniper is able to "tag" enemy players that he has shot, but not killed. This allows for friendly players to see certain enemies through walls temporarily. He is also able to shoot enemy's legs to slow them down. He is equipped with Frag Grenades, Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, Nailgun and a crowbar.
Spy	125	90, 100 armor	The Spy takes 50% fall damage and automatically has their disguise removed when they come into contact with an enemy Scout or Spy. Spies are able to rig unattended Sentry Guns and Dispensers to be remotely turned against the team it belongs to and then explode. Death can be feigned at will but the Cloak doesn't make the player fully invisible - if you move you will be partially visisble, however, if you stand still you will be completely invisible. You can throw grenades without having to redisguise. His equipment includes Frag Grenades, Tranquilizer, Nailgun, Super Shotgun and a knife
