EDIT 2: Annotations! Nifty tool this is.EDIT: A lot of changes have happened to the spy since I posted this video:- For once, the teleporter trail will NOT appear under you as a spy if you are cloaked or disguised.- The knife does about 60 damage when not backstabbing, for example you can kill a scout in 3 slashes.- Backstab detection is really wonky now, and the backstab animation guarantees frustration when warping causes you to miss a lot of kills.- Remember to cloak first, then disguise, otherwise if you disguise first and cloak, the smoke effect can blow your cover from a mile away.-----Decided to make a spy gameplay tutorial after being in a server and seeing spies trying out all sorts of interesting tactics such as "uncloaking in front of your face" and "running towards you disguised with your name".This is just something based on my playstyle so you might say my tactics don't work, but I can usually come out on top of the scoreboard if the enemy team isn't overly paranoid.I use certain terms you may not have heard such as:Front - The area where most of the fighting takes place on a map. This constantly changes during the round and it's the place where you will most likely get shot if you get seen running towards the enemy base.Blind spot - An area where the enemy team has no vision. Use these blind spots to uncloak safely prior to a backstab.I haven't actually given any advice on when to use the disguise because basically you should be disguised at all times, except when you are inside your base. You can use the friendly disguise on your part of the map to confuse enemy spies. They won't expect that medic that ran behind them to instantly take them down.Music credits: Battery soundtrack from Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - Amon TobinEDIT: Seems someone dugg me :Dhttp://www.digg.com/videos/gaming/Team_Fortress_2_Video_Guide_How_to_Play_the_Spy_2

Jul 26, 2008 - ok uhh desolation u mean diguising when cloaked?
Desolation66 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - yea
terminator6267 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - ok desolation then yea you can disguise yourself while you are cloaked and when you are un cloaked you will still be disguised but uncloak when no one is there because the cloaking show the ¨color¨ of your team and they will know immediatley you are on the opposing team so beware

hockeyman1337 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Very nice, it really has alot of tips.People press b to switch back to the last disguise you used, without taking out the smoke pack. When you were playing dustbowl and there was a heavy on the tele, and you missed the backstab, that was close lol, he almost killed you.
1stpersonshooter Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - well then you shoulda decloakedd before raching the heavy.

tonydark6 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I am playing as a spy fora while...but I still have some questions:1.While you are disguised and reloading your revolver...how does it look to your enemy...I mean does it look like the guy you are disguised in is reloading...cause if it is...it would be a good excuse for coming back to base other than just standing around?2.While you are disguised and say spy! ...does that aware your team or your enemies....?Please respond fast...thanks in advance:)

Jul 26, 2008 - 1) It will always look like you're holding the class you're disguised as primary weapon, and it will never do any animations. So that's a no.2) Your team.
1stpersonshooter Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - pressing B may be helpful but it can kill you as well. if you continue to use the same disguise over and over, enemies will eventually focus on spychecking that class more than the others. If that happens you have to change disguises or give up the chance for some points.

mitchlaster Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - ugh updates: you cannot cloak for 1.5 seconds after using the knife because people were knifing while invisible, you may want to add that to the vid
