tips to detect a spy

[Honestabe6659]

here are some tips to spot a spy in tf2. spys can only hold primary wepons so look for medics with the needle gun or engeneers with a shot gun. If you see a scout that seems to be a little slow its a spy. If you run into a teamate and you cant run though them its a spy. watch for things like a sniper in the frontlines standing around most likely a spy. If you are a pyro burn your buddys its not got going to hurt them if they start on fire thats a spy. Basicly just be causious look for unuasual things and shoot your allys to see if it does damage if it does its a spy of course and also watch for your name then thats a spy too

When you see a spy, their health is always at 50%. (If it was at 100, medics would never heal them...)

 

[GTghost]

Also if they are acting weird, like yelling for MEDIC! continuously.

Just shoot at everybody! Works in real life, too...

 

[MaD sKiLLz =FL=]

lol
i always hit a few guys that are acting weird and suspicous, and if people are staring at you... run away from em ( or shoot em)
good tips

If you see me on the server and I am not on your team, there is a spy. LOL !lol

A spy medic doesn't have Ubercharge:...% under his name.

True, their health is default set to 50% when you disguise, jumping off a building and taking fall damage reduces it, and being healed increases it. But the 50% amount is a good way to check out spies.

Don't forget a heavy that's going too fast and never spins his gun.

If you see someone on your team on the CP and it's not capping, and the defenders aren't shooting at him, it's a spy.

Watch for people who are running back from the opponent's base, it might be a guy needing health, but it's most likely a spy.

If the player can't run through an engineer building, he's a spy.

If he was an idiot and took a teleporter, then he'd be a player on your team with teleporter particles of the wrong color. Spy.

If it tries to backstab you, it's a spy.

If it moves, it's a spy.

If it even considers moving, it's a spy.

I pretty much get aggressive with anyone who makes "eye contact" with me. Very primal, but it tends to work well for me. Airelement, your sig is freaking awesome!

 

[Booster37]

If your "medic" has no ubercharge meter, it's a spy.

 

[Djpal321]

If you don't see anyone and your being pushed around chances are it's a spy cloaked.

Lol, sometimes when I'm bored I'll disguise my self as a enemy spy, and for some reason, people usually don't suspect it.

Good writing but it wasn't too helpful, I think most people already know this. But for those who don't I'm pretty sure it'll help!

 

[Frostee]

Thanks for the tips guys! I like the ways, I never knew spies only had 50% health... Here is one of my rules

If you do run into a spy, try moving around a lot, that way he can't get to your back for an auto kill, oh and if your a heavy good luck with what i said... your to slow

 

[Monkeybits]

Great detection rules. I tend to go with (1) If it burns like a torch, it's a spy and also perfect for the after game barbecue; (2) If it reacts poorly to a shot in the face (remember: nobody's your friend unless you've given him the friendly shotty blast to the nose), it's probably a spy; (3) If it flies into big chunks after being hit by a rocket, it's a spy and should be tossed in the bait bucket for the fishing trip that goes along with the barbecue. I'm a simple man, with simple pleasures.

The heavy is slower than the spy, so when you disguise as heavy, you move slower. You dont move faster if you disguise as a scout though, obviously.

What you can watch for though is a slightly slower pyro, medic, engy, or a very slow scout. These are faster than the spy. The game adjusts your speed to soldier, heavy, and demoman because they move slower than the spy.

If you are laying on the ground with a knife in your back, and someone is saying "you got blood on my suit", it's a spy. But I guess that's not terribly helpful to know at that point.
