Today I played vanilla Spy.

Feels neat.

[RedBluYellow]

I either run vanilla spy or ambassador (or enforcer if I feel like being an asshole) +dead ringer

Two best spy loadouts imo

[Dinomite]

I seem to be the only Spy left on earth who uses the Invisible Watch (Timepiece in my case)

[RedBluYellow]

not really

[Chu]

the only reason i use the dead ringer is because i can go after the ballsy stabs without worrying about dying as often

Minisentries are great for offense, but people often underestimate how good they are for defense. I used to play on a server that played classic cp maps- you know, the ones where you take the intel to the capture point and it automatically caps- and slaughtered people with a minisentry from behind because I'd always move it before they found out where I was hiding :p

Bonus points if you use the justice for jerk crits :p

Also, playing as spy and leading people to a sentry nest is funny.

Why haven't I ever thought of that oh god

Oh god I love doing that as a dr spy. Lead a drone pyro right into a bunch of guns... feels good.

It's workable on SOME maps... but on a lot the gunfire is just too strong to get past. Plus, I /really/ don't like mistake = death sentence.

im too scared to play spy because I dunno how to fool people with disguises

also how in the world do you disguise while still moving forward do you guys have an extra hand or something

middle finger on w, index on '4'. you don't really need anything besides demo disguise.

Disguises aren't really meant to fool anyone. I mean, generally, the idea is that you want to LOOK like you belong in the area, but people are extremely paranoid and this rarely actually works. You need to be prepared for it not working, and jump on a chance if it doesn't. Regardless, the idea is if you're heading back to the spawn, be an engie. They'll think you're going for metal, to support this, hold your wrench out in your disguise. For backlines, where you're expected to be, pyro, sometimes sniper, and engie again. Spy if you're on your own turf. Medic is the most hilarious one to work with but it's often too obvious. Don't recommend it.

Demo disguise is often shitty because it makes you move slower, which can ruin your window of stabbing.

Medic disguise is actually the only one I can fool people with, since it's already a rare disguise and they expect you to be behind them. Usually it doesn't work since there are only 1 Medic on a team, and they will notice you. The main disguise I use is Engineer though. It works in a lot of places.

[S-Z]

I remember the time an almost dead pyro came running at me screaming medic. I was like "lol" and stabbed him in the face. (No backstab. He just died)

The same exact thing happened a couple of days before that, but swap the classes. A burning medic came running at me expecting me to put him out because I "was" a pyro. I did the same thing.

[DSky]

Oh hehe that's funny.

I love playing Spy. My loadouts are revolver + spycyle (I just love this, might go back to default knife) and either invisi watch or DR.

Then the saharan set with IW or DR. I get my better kill streaks with these.

Replace "Invisible Watch" with "Stock Revolver" and that would be a flawless statement.

[trog]

how do I switch my disguised weapon?

and if the disguise doesn't matter too much can I just keep mashing last disguise for a while?

1. Try to fit in
2. Don't be Captain Obvious as a Spy (Frontline Sniper, for example)
3. DON'T CALL FOR A MEDIC ALL THE TIME! The real player can see "<Player you disguised as>(Voice): MEDIC!", thus they can tell the enemies that there is a Spy, maybe even via Team Chat!
4. Avoid collisions with your "teammates".
5. Avoid to be in the same area as your teammates if that required you to fight your teammates. (See #2)
6. Disguise far away from your enemies (Spawn point if noone's around, for example)
7. Don't be a Medic or an Engineer (Except when the player you disguised as already placed all buildings)
8. Avoid the person you disguised as! Don't get near him! Don't make the other enemies see you two at the same time! Most importantly: AVOID EYE CONTACT! (Short: Act as if you were time travelling and the guy you disguised as is your past self)
