1. Never use the teleporter, you will instantly be seen by the trail you leave behind.
7. Do not backstab someone in a huge crowd, unless you have a nice escape plan.

1. You can use the teleporter, just don't run into the enemy base. Sometimes it's quicker to take the tele, then wait out the trail.
7. If you backstab a medic with a full uber, then instantly get killed, i think its worth it.
Other than that, awesome points.

I never knew that, thanks man.
 
Usually the best disguise is pyro. If there's only one pyro on the other team, well, obviously dont, because he'll spot his name every time. I've caught numerous spies because they've had my name.

Bottom line: Dont stay in the open too long. If the other team is even remotely decent, you'll get spotted, or bumped into. Its usually best to cloak from point to point if you can.

Oh, and one more thing that I notice way too many spies doing. Dont ever, EVER, yell for medic. Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb more than a pyro running around with full health screaming medic at the top of his lungs. If you're a noisy type and you gotta scream something, well, do the war-cry or something.

Thats all I got I suppose.

And in regard to the topic, several other people have already said it, but the main deal is sapping. It doesnt take a genius to figure that out.
 
Yeah, but its a good point i mean each time i disguise i get caught. The reason i yous the spy is only when theres sentries that i cant reach safely without getting killed.
 
I would play as spy much more if he didn't have that French accent, it annoys the heck out of me. Which is contrastly why I enjoy sniper, his accent is the best.
 
Also, a lot of people need to know this. Being a spy takes patience, USUALLY you can't just run to their base at the beginning in one run and just start killing people. You'll be found out instantly.
Wait a bit until people start to take your cap, or vice versa, and then start going for the other team.
^ That ususally applies to unexperienced spies who need to get the hang of it. It's also helpful for experienced ones.
 
I have to agree with romantic on the previous page, I think the spy is the most difficult class to get good at, so don't be discouraged if you are having a tough time getting good, just keep practicing. I practiced mainly on dustbowl which is a lot easier, especially on offense. Now on my good days, i can wreak havoc for a while. When you have an off day spying, switch to another class and enjoy.
 
I pretty much agree with Booster.
because what's the point? I know, you need it for sentries, and zapping sentries.
You're going to die anyways.. By Pyros..
I bet Romantic is looking at this thread right now.. Lol..
 
Yeah and I think Romantic would be a good source of the usefulness and deadliness of the spy class...agree?
 
well if your a pro spy then you could usually be able to pretend to be on their team, but stay your distance at the same time so they dont shoot you =/

ive noticed when you usually call for medic you get the big "MEDIC!" under chat.
when a spy does it you dont see that..but you can still hear them
 
Spies...spies...spies, we all love them. 10 things to remeber about spies.... !shy

1. Don't go into battle with a trail of teleporter dust behind you (what do you call that anyway?)

2. Cause as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible. Basically crowds are good because if you stand behind them you can kill them all if your good

C. sry... 3. Disguse takes a few seconds to do and so does cloaking, don't uncloak or disguse in public plz....

...it's embrassing

4. Your revolver is a great weapon too!, crit revolver rocks! Once i killed a heavy after killing the medic with the revolver :D

5. Sapping, when laying sappers stand a bit away after laying the sappers. The engie can either go for you or the sapper, not both! if he choses the sapper, lay another one. He will eventually choose you. Then....RUN AWAY!!!!!

6. Camping, camp anywhere unnoticable. Then come out and backstab. After killing a person don't leave straight away, camp for a bit more!

7. PYRO!!! run, water if possible or cloak. You on fire is not always noticeable to fellow enemy players but mostly is.

8. Disguses, don't just choose Soilder, Demo and Pyro. These are fast characters. But choose heavies on some occasions.

9. Intel, your not the best at escaping with intel. Your the best at grabbing it, but not escaping.

10. Don't try to camp open areas, using the sewers is obvoius,

Tanks for readin', happy spying vlord

Very true. I once was able to take out sentry that an engie was trying to keep my sappers off and not me. He was alone so I could keep putting sappers on and eventually the sentry went down. Then all that's left to kill is the engie. this will only work if there is only one engie and no one else. ;)

Heavy usually isn't a great disguise/its hard to pull off. If a heavy isn't charging some place it usually look out of place. (unless on defense, but then usually he's shooting. Not trying to get behind people or sit in a corner waiting for people to walk by. Another thing is there usually isn't more than one heavy on a team. So people are going to know your a fake when they see 2, because they only have one, etc.

And then when you get a med, he'll wonder why your not moving, not shooting, etc. You can pull off sniper though. And Engi. :P
