Best disguise?

[Aooga]

as a spy, just the general commotion going on, whats the best disguise? i know its not medic, scout, or heavy.....

 

[Italian_Stallion-TR-]

I like pyro, and engie is always good when going after sentries and dispensers.

 

[Mr. Chair -TR-]

If you're sentry hunting engy works good, but mostly I use pyro.

 

[bLackout {RD}]

Demoman.

 

[SogeKing]

Soldier, because everyone spy checks demos and pyros.

Yeah, I always check pyros... I dunno why but they all just look like spies to me.

I never play spy so I can't really comment... on the rare occasions that i do, I usually pick demo since they're a common class to see.

i choose demo or soldier, mainly demo because if you are around a group that is fighting, a demo can get a way with not firing their weapon since they may have the stickies down. Sometimes, if you are far into their side, go as a spy, haha, when it works, it's hillarious.

 

[Lafinass]

Doesn't matter if you're playing it well. You shouldn't ever expect your disguise to get you past the most casual of glances. If you're on the mind of your foe enough that he stops to consider your disguise, you're probably already dead.

 

[Glitch]

I agree with Laf. Even though I don't use spy much, when I do I usually only use my disguise to help me recharge my cloak.

 

[Endiment]

Yeah, after you wreak a certain amount of havoc as a spy no disguise will save you from random spychecking. Demoman is often quite effective considering what you're likely to be doing as a spy. Let's run down a list of the disguises, shall we?

Scout and Medic are always bad choices.
Heavy has a nasty speed drop, though he can be good for drawing enemy ubers.
As a Pyro, picking up the name of the opposing team's principal spychecker is generally negative.
As an Engineer, sharing a name with someone whose sentries you're sapping is also not great.
Both Sniper and Spy have potential, but opposing players will be suspicious of those classes running around willy-nilly.
This leaves Demoman and Soldier, the most reliable disguises. Demoman is usually preferable as you avoid the speed drop, but soldier is also good depending on opposing demographics.

The reason I choose demo a lot is because most of us have fast weapon switch to where you can hit four twice really fast and have you disguise on quickly other than that though i use pyro or soldier

 

[Prince Abu]

It really depends on the situation, in my honest opinion, but for general running around, I like demoman or pyro

 

[Barlim]

We should take a poll, and whatever is the most popular choice of disguise... maybe isn't such a good disguise after all?

 

[The IRS]

I would say snipers all the way, just crouch and act like your doing somethin and no one messes with ya

 

[Zopy]

Whenever I choose spy, I always disguise as demo. They can be seen in the frontline of battle, or far back, just in case an enemy slips through. So, you can go almost everywhere as a demo without being suspicious to onlookers.

 

[Fuse]

demo is best, then sniper, then engie... all 3 work great if you disguise as them in the right place

pyro is ok and soldier is ok...

definitely never medic, heavy, spy, or scout... unless you are pro

 

[Near]

sniper,demoman,pyro,engi

 

[The S Inspector]

I like the demoman. He doesn't really look suspicious hanging around the base on defence, and doesn't have speed reductions. Pyro as well, he often isn't shooting unless he is up close, so the 'lack of shooting' doesn't really apply. Neither does the speed reduction. It just depends on how many characters of these two they have on their team. I mainly just swap between these two disguises. Sometimes engineer when hanging around the base, and sniper when I walk onto the battlements to backstab when cloak is empty. From my experience, pyro's going to the battlements attract WAY to much suspicion. On the other hand, I NEVER 'pretend' to snipe as a sniper, it's just so obviously fake when you aren't looking down the barrel of your gun. Also, the soldier disguise is awful. Why disguise as something where you can't catch up with enemies to backstab them?

 

[Blazing Heat]

I use demo, engie and Sniper.

 

[OfficerFriendly]

Eh I used medic yesterday and was able to convince 3 guys who looked straight at me that I was legit... enough to back stab all three. I agree if you are playing say 2 fort and want in the front door pretend to be a sniper who fell off the battlements. Otherwise I play pyro or demo to sneak around. The all-time best combo is a medic healing a spy disguised as an enemy engineer... just ask owl hahaha
