Re: Spies are dying breed
yer waiting for people to be pre occupied is a must, nothing better than getting an engy just as he places a sentry and starts to whack it
on pl maps especially, wait for the cart to start moving a bit, and only attack when you have a few teammates around who are spamming at the enemy keeping them distracted
go in alone and get caught and every person in range will start hunting youComment

Re: Spies are dying breed
Some people go out of their way to hunt you too.
I've gotten a lot of people angry to the point where they'd do nothing but spy-check their team-mates for a whole round, intent on finding me before I find them.
It's glorious when I get them anyways. :laugh:
When I'm hunting spies... I have to admit. Saying to myself, "Where would I hide if I were the spy?" has led quite a few rockets to invisible spies who cry hax quickly after words. I spy-check corners I myself frequent.Comment

Re: Spies are dying breed
yer, raged people are quite annoying, I think my record for backstabs in a life is 16, will have to check, but by that time everyone was getting so paranoid that (this was on goldrush) they were too afraid to go near the cart and I was .50 cal revolvering people
its strange though, spies have never been too much of a problem for me, the odd one kills me here and there but most just run up to a group of people and are lucky to kill even one guy
the spy update is going to be ****ing EPICComment

Re: Spies are dying breed
Spies for me don't really do much, the only times I ever get killed by them is when they miss a stab and a bunch of people go after them and he gets a lucky backstab on me. I hate being spies now because every pyro and his mother (Including me) sprays everyone.Comment

Re: Spies are dying breed
Ahh, I love it when everybody gets paranoid and goes pyro. Then they end up losing simply because Pyros are essentially a useless class in 90% of the game's situations, being by far the easiest class to counter. Even before the nerf, playing as a heavy, soldier or demoman was pure bliss against all those free-kills.
You have to be a really good pyro like Cattiva or Mooby to be a threat.
Perception is the spy's best friend - and the spy's worst enemy. If a spy is able to see all around him, he can pick and choose his battles, guaranteeing him a small victory every now and then.
However, if even a single player has even a small amount of situational awareness - that Spy's attempts at infiltration are null and void, and that spy must abort and bail quickly before he gets killed.
I rarely if ever get killed by a spy, since... I know all the good hiding places. As I run by, I'm constantly looking behind my back. I'll fire random rockets, or sticky bombs in corners I've been known to frequent and I'm constantly shooting my own team-mates. Plus the spy-goo glow is hard to not notice.
Personally for me... Snipers and Demomen are my worst enemies in this game. Of course, thats because they're exceptionally well balanced classes that once mastered are hard to counter. Stupid Demospam Masters.
Thats probably when I'm going to play a pyro.Comment

Re: Spies are dying breed
haha I think I only need 2 more anyway and I have all of them,
but yeh they managed to lower the skill ceiling somewhat of the Pyro with his update, but lets face it he was so ridiculously weak pre update that it was a chore to play him
sad thing is the +50 hp on the backburner is a bit... :/ 25 perhaps, its supposed to promote ambush gameplay but why bother when you can charge a guy and live
its led to the rise of the ******* pyros that just run headfirst into every situation and I ****ING love killing those twats more than anything
Pyro class should be a lesson in thought and attack, which a few people do thank god, most dont have a clue

Re: Spies are dying breed
if there are large numbers of spies I'll prolly just go scout, plow right through them
but so help me god if there is stupid levels of noob facestabbing on I will go pyro and epic spamComment

Re: Spies are dying breed
As a spy, I have to admit that scouts kill me more often than pyros do.
Which is kind of weird, since most of the decent scouts are also monumental arseholes who love to brag that they killed the spy who killed everybody else.
I guess they think that the huge speed and ammo advantage scouts have doesn't have any effect on their ability to kill my spy arse. Of course, when I face-stab them like a d-ck, they scream foul. It's so much easier to face-stab scouts because they have a tendency to run right through you, giving you easy access to their back''s hit-box.Comment

Re: Spies are dying breed
scouts do seem to have a tendency for receiving face stabs tbh
its a pity that its so hard to find decent scouts that know what they are doing, but one of the main aims of the class is to essentially piss everyone off, and then mow them into the respawn screen
