Useful Information (Class Speeds)

[Seagull]

Class Speeds (gained from cl_showpos 1; the last line shows your Velocity)

scout - 400

medic - 320

pyro - 300

engy - 300

spy - 300

demoman - 280

sniper - 270

soldier - 240

heavy - 230

In case you're wondering if you can run around that corner and get away before the class behind you catches up..

Good post.
A bit off-topic, but does the spy mimic the characters speed too or does he always have speed 300? Then I guess it would be quite unsafe to play as a heavy or a scout as the speed difference stands out quite much.

When I play a spy disguised as a soldier I definitely move slower, but you regain your top speed when you're cloaked.

Pretty sure the spy moves slower when disguised as a slower class but doesn't speed up when disguised as scout.

Wouldnt that look really odd? The scout running in sllooowww mmmmoooottttioooonnnn, I would be surprised if he didnt speed up.

I believe this to be true

That would mean that you'd get caught pretty easily as a scout.

Depends upon how attentive the enemey is. I play the Spy a lot and I normally try to avoid being the Scout but the times I have they haven't noticed.

Agreed.
