This, im cloaked 80% of the time; I just use a disguise to trick SGs and not get a double take from the enemy.

hahaha excellent post frisky; where did you find it? i'd like to add that medics should not be alarmed when they uber someone and the player simply runs into the enemy base without attacking anyone. just follow him in :laugh: probably not a spy; trust him.
again, hilarious post. thanks for the laugh, thereven. you were kidding, right?
spies love fire.don't be afraid to learn to blend in (i'm sure frisky would agree). tricking the enemy into trusting you can be a challenge, but it's useful to learn how (what would you do if you were the class you are disguised as?). besides, getting ubered by enemy medics is really hilarious, and you can't do it if they don't trust you to be one of their team mates. this has happened to me a several times recently, and trust me, it's fun :w00t:
gnarkill, if you're disguised already, and you change you weapon, then hit b (last disguise button), your display weapon will change depending on what you are holding. it will display with your "disguised as" so you know what weapon your disguise shows.
sorry, i know this was a spy check thread, not a spy advice thread. to offer my bit of help in that department, despite all the useful things already said: wack your team mates with your melee weapon if you suspect a spy is present. team mates will forgive you for it, and spies will die or close to it. we don't have a lot of health. pyros: run around spurting flames everywhere; it's terrifying. especially dark corners.
doctorjo is correct, i believe. i don't think dispensers have beams leading to cloaked spies anymore, so just check the dispensers occasionally. it's a good place for spies to recharge their cloak while cloaked, especially level three dispensers.

meaning you can be cloaked AND mooching off an enemy dispenser? without being revealed?
this is a great thread. Even though some of it has become spy advice, that's equally useful for spy detection.
Essentially a level 1 dispenser will prevent your cloak from decaying any further, but you will not gain back any more cloak. A level 2 one will give you some cloak over time, but not a very significant amount, meaning you're stuck there for a while. A level three will have your cloak back up to full in a matter of seconds, and let you get back to spying before anything major has happened (such as an enemy player trying to walk through the dispenser while you're on top of it)

Even though a few bits are outdated, its still a good guide. Will definitely help out new players.

i thought it was hilarious, haha. while i'm in game, i have a tendency to suggest some of these things to players on the other team. especially that they discontinue spy-checking, as it's really unnecessary, and will make my life easier
