Demoman and soldier do not properly showcase one's true FPS skills, if you know what I mean.

Sniper and Scout are the real deal

I'm going to have to disagree with this statement here. Because in any FPS shooter game you usually have some form of sniper, some form of rocket launcher, some form of grenades, turrets, etc. Its a matter of choosing what you're best at. I say your FPS skills are more based on how well you can actually play the game the way it was designed to be played no matter what you pick.

All in all though, everyone has their own class, or classes. The goal of the game is to capture the point or the intel, while simultaneously warding off the other team from capturing yours. Of course staying alive is the key essence due to the fact that you are useless when you're dead. And working as a team usually proves it's worth due to the nature of each class, their dependencies on each other, and the name of the game. To me, your FPS skills (for Team Fortress 2) depend heavily on how well you can carry out those tasks, despite your class selection.
