Spy Not ....

[Puke-N-Snot]

Wow, I suck as a spy. Not sure what my problem is but I just don't seem to have what it takes for this class. I've watch youtube videos of others show how to play spy & they make it look so effortless & yet even when I practice vs. Bot off-line the bots kick my butt :confused1:
Sad, Sad indeed

All it takes is practice. I'd recommend getting the basics down like health / ammo pack locations, escape routes, and aiming to start out with. Once you get those down, the timing and crazy stuff comes naturally

Try Demoman. Im gonna start using colors on every post this dude makes. Just so he doesn't feels alone about it, you should feel bad about being grey people.

You don't get it right off the back you just need to get muscle memory down for everything, so you can win!

Yeah I have been playing Demoman more, but I would like to have some "skil"as a spy.

Kool another color convert!
Maybe I'll add "strobing Harry Potter" animation to my siggy

Practice, practice. It's the easiest way to get good at spy. I've spent about four hours straight just practicing stair stabbing on tr_walkway.

I also recommend two things:

1. Don't practice with bots. They know that you're a spy and will react accordingly. Real players tend to be much more unobservant.

2. Avoid going directly for one target. Strafe a bit and move where there are no obvious targets to make you look more legitimate.

3. Backpedaling is godlike. If your disguise is injured, backpedal and call for medic. A lot of players won't expect you to be a spy.

4. Hit b to change your weapon. This includes pulling out your sapper and changing weapons, so you can go as a medic with the medigun or a pyro with the flaregun. Since most spies don't know that you can do that, it makes you look more legitimate.

Lastly, to reiterate: PRACTICE. As with all good things, it takes practice to get good at.

I would type a very long and informative post, but I don't care enough.

In my experience, there's kind of a flow to Spy. You move around and get stabs, be it a trickstab or not and keep moving. At least for me. The only reason I would stop moving is if I'm waiting on an opening or going for headshots with the Ambassador.

Multi-coloured strobing sig? Yeah, that'll go over well.

I looked to Strabes for inspiration

why thank you

 

[D3RP MCHERP]

Be like me and just stab everything

 

[Mr. Monday]

Strabes scares me more as a pyro than as a spy, tbqh.

I found starting out with the saharan spy set, and deadringer to be easiest. The decloak sound being nearly silent is gold. Also, I recommend beginning on more open maps with a lot of movement possibilities. Maps like 2fort are more difficult. I have most of my learning time spent on doomsday and dustbowl.
