I'm not sure how effective this would be over time considering how disguises have severely diminished in usefulness as players have become more experienced at the game, but it's a pretty good idea and could fool people enough to the point that Spies could escape more easily.

Where do I get it? <_<

This would be a good unlockable alternative.

 

[Druckles]

Hm... that's interesting. I assumed you'd be the one on the floor when you feigned. I like that idea a lot.

Ragdolls are clientside though, and without a fake death notice it'd be useless.

 

[saratos]

^Which could be the catch.

Ragdolls are clientside though.

You're right but I don't see how this would affect this feature. All that needs to happen is a spy's ragdoll to appear and fall.

Of course, people running the game may have ragdolls turned off but these sort of people shouldn't be playing the game if their computer can't handle ragdolls.

He's a frickin' ninja.

 

[Omnomnick]

That would be awesome!

But what would it remove...?

 

[Druckles]

Nothing. Spy needs friggin' laser cannons on his shoulder and a jetpack anyway.

 

[mocho loco]

that looks pretty usefull 4 geting outa tight situautions, and spys also need the power to use the weapons hes disguised at

It doesn't matter that ragdolls are clientside. The player leaves behind a "decoy" of himself behind while he is cloaked, effectively fooling the enemy into believing the spy is dead. A death notice isn't required, either, because of the pace of the game. It's a very effective method of giving you just a second chance, or a few precious seconds until the enemy figures out you feigned.

The problem I meant with clientside ragdoll is how it could be alot different from the opponent's point of view on a very tricky terrain (badlands is a good example, especially the bridge)

But hey I'm all for it.

 

[Lizardizzle]

that looks really good, I remember being a spy on tf1 and using the feign death many times effectively. Keep working on it. Maybe it"ll be notised by valve.

 

[FISHY CRACKERS]

I could probably be fooled by this since most of the time i'm focusing on the main objective (point, intel, ect) and if i see the ragdoll fall down, i think i killed him, and i move on... then i usually get shot in the back.

That'd be fun for a while. Until everyone got used to it. It won't take long for people to train themselves to keep shooting after the body falls.

Or the death never showed up at the top yet he died..hmmmmmm

True enough but it's a big enough distraction to let you escape more easily.
