Thanks for all the useful advice, Oyvoyvoyv, that should be a big help getting started. I'll probably start out with the scout/engineer(I seriously love his movie)/medic, but I'd love to work my way up to spy and sniper, all the characters are great, but Heavy/Demoman/Soldier/Pyro just don't really fit my personality at all, which is a big factor in how I play.

Is there anyway to get practice in with each of the classes outside of actual multiplayer battles? Like do aoffline run where you can just check out the equipment and aiming, etc? maybe go up against some AI?

There are servers that have AI units on them, and perhaps you can make one yourself with it. You can, however, not play offline, or not enable other people to join, so no to that (as least as far as I know).

You could of course find a server with bots on it, but no players, and join it. The bots are retarded though.

Also, I think you should stick to what you feel is how you play. I used a long time to find that out (haven't really played any online shooters), before I ended up with demoman/engie/medic.
