Edge Gamers Organization TF2 Spy Recognition guide (That spy is not one of ours)

It's a basic guide, but it's a good one. I'm sure many players who have yet to get the hang of spy checking will benefit well from this! Nice work.
 
It can be time consuming and/or frustrating, but spectate on spy's in a game (preferably ones that are doing well :P ) That should give you a good idea about the best hiding spots, when to cloak and de-cloak, best disguises and how best to 'act' less like a spy.

Then get round to playing spy, best way to defeat an enemy is to think as the enemy would think. Once you start playing spy, it becomes a lot easier to recognize who's a spy and who isn't.

Alternatively, run around as a pyro holding down Left Mouse button. 9 times out of 10 you'll find a them :D
 
you missed cloaked figure dripping in the sewers :P good guide i thought it was awesome!
 
I can add quite a bit more stuff if you like guys, ive posted a few spy tips for those interested in digging up old posts...perhaps those can help you all in learning how to play as the enemy...lol.

And scouts who double jump aren't spies because spies are incapable of doing that. So spare your ammo and stop torching me! :D

Scouts who have The Sandman equipped can't double jump, so it would be still a good idea to spy check.

Aren't spy-scouts equiped with the ordinary scattergun and not the sandman?
BTW thx for all the tips on improving the guide.
 
Alright, this is a n00by question i know but i still dont know how to change my disguise weapon as a spy :P
 
It is pretty funny, most spies will disguise as a demo or a pyro since it is easy to select and pretty common to see those classes.

but for some reasons when disguised as a demo, they have 70% change to wear my name lol
don't know why, but I see it always...

Also if someone with a mic says spy behind you medic/heavy/ or your name, it doesn't hurt to turn around and check a bit.

also shooting on the top of the dispenser won't hurt
 
Pay attention to the ground. If dropped weapons are disappearing and ammo boxes are gone then there is definitely a reason to spy check.

Dont give them specifics like this, this is what gets me tons of kills...People expect spies to be these classes which is why I disguise as medic or scout now...and because of that most dont realize im a spy till they see me on thier screen as the one who killed them.
 
I tend to not rely on my disguise at all. I think I've reached the point where I use it just so Sentries don't target me and I assume the enemy knows I'm a spy (which, in all likelihood, the probably do).
