How to spy

[destrukt]

That video + the linked guide are pretty useful, anyone have any similar things for other classes?

Enemy spy disguised as medics won't have the "UberCharge" display under their name.

Not sure if he mentionned it in the video, but thats a pretty damn useful tip.

I know this guy and music is from Splinter Cell Chaos Theory soundtrack
Edit:Battery track

I like soup.

 

[Xendance]

Yeah , I started noticing that. Then again, a Medic not healing somebody is suspicious enough.

Great video. Text does come and go too fast though.

The one thing I don't get is how he switches from his knife to his sapper that fast. It's like a split second. How does he do that?

Don't know if anyone said it yet but obviously if you see anyone shooting their weapon they're not a spy.

Q is your previous weapon button. You hit it, it switches instantly.

This was very helpful. Got 5 backstabs and 10 total points cos of that video.

My spy game has improved a lot.

Just hammer the left mouse button and the 2 key after stabbing the engie. It's doable, but tricky.

Wow - that guy is amazing! The first part on dustbowl HAD to be a set up - like 6 Backstabs in a go?!

Looks perfectly doable, with a little luck (ie. you don't bump into anyone in the narrow passage and nobody decides to join the ppl on the roof, when you're stabbing them).

It is doable, but you need luck and some slightly ignorant enemies.

I had a very similar experience on the last stage of Dustbowl once. My team were being held at bay by a pack of Red offensive classes and a medic in one of the narrow channels. I went spy, got to the back of the pack and started stabbing them all - killed 6 in a very short time and completely cleared the path for my team, who were all poking their heads around the corner going '...eh??' That kind of thing seems to be rare though.

Spying depends on luck alot more than most think it does, I found that out. An enemy team only needs 1 pyro and spies are goners. Normally you can survive a spycheck from solder/demo/scout/medic and the kind, but pyro..You're dead.

I also noticed I have NEVER been spychecked while disguised as a sniper at a sniping spot, say on well or 2fort.

All those damn paranoid engies sat by level 3 turrets at the top of stairs :flame:

Yeh, there should probably be another route to the top level (other than firing yourself up).

Great video.

Wow, that first scene right after basics were he decimates the 4 players on top of the shack in Dustbowl is amazing.
