I really really like playing the spy.

I will give you guys some quick tips.

1.  Do not leave your base undisguised.  Disguise is 4, and it opens a small menu of disguises to choose from.  Hit the number under the class you want to disguise yourself as.  I recommend Engineers and Soldiers.  You move too fast to be a heavy, and you move too slow to be a scout.  Demoman is an okay choice for a quick getaway, but read #3 for the reason why you shouldn't always use it.

2.  Sapping turrets does not undisguise you.  This can be used to take out engineers very easily.  Sap a turret, when an engineer comes to fix it, stab him in the back, immediately go cloaked (which is RIGHT click) and clear from the area.  Do NOT kill the engineer first - his turret will take you out before you can walk two steps.

3.  The quickest disguise is as an enemy demoman.  Press 4 twice, very quickly and you will have it on fast.  Move away from your enemies and change to something else.  When in doubt CLOAK.

4.  Make sure to tell friendly medics NOT to heal you in site of the enemy.  If you need health, go to the enemy lines and call for one of *their* medics.  To be extra juicey, fill up, then go backstab him just to piss him off.

5.  When coming out of your spawn, make sure you CLOAK before leaving.  You want to be close to enemy lines (out of site) before uncloaking.

6.  AVOID PYROS.  They cannot harm team mates, but you will cook in their flames - labeling you as a spy.  This may not be true, but some of the pyro players have been saying it is true, so best avoid them.

Tonight, I backstabbed a medic that healed me and was called a "stupid spy" for it.  It was wonderful.

Oh, one final thing.  You cannot attack or sap while cloaked.

Im liking Medic and Pyro .

I like the sniper if the enemy has to come through a tight enough area that I can see it all while zoomed, otherwise I haven't really picked a favorite.

Those tips were awesome. I will have to try Spy again. I did not know about the speed issue and when I was playing as a Spy I never used the cloak for some reason. 

I am watching 2 movies tonight (RE 3 and Halloween) so I won't be home till after midnight Eastern. If you guys are still playing, I will join you.

[DeadGoat]

Bleh, I have none of the monies.

Can we please turn FF off for the time being on the server ? I'd really love to play on our server but friendly fire ruins it and if you havent noticed, the server is kind of empty, it's probably a factor. At least until we can deal with tkers because right now, if you dont have an admin around, it's a jerk fest.

Also, there's the whole gameplay aspect. I love friendly fire, its realistic and it usually makes a game more fun, you have to be more careful. Fortress on the other hand, just doesnt work well with FF on. You got people shooting their own team to find the spies, turrets shooting their builders and the rest of the team, demos spamming nades blowing up teammates, etc etc... It's just a sort of game that's just better with it off. A whole lot less drama and whining too.

There's too many explosives, bullets and other crap flying all over the place to try not to hit your own team. Anyway, how about we just try it with FF off to see how's it's like ?
