Yea I watched those when you posted them up before. Excellent vids and really educational too. The problem I'm having (I think) is more to do with the basic mechanics of the spy, more than actual play style.

Thanks anyway tho h3r1n6 and thanks KtheZ for the tips too. I'll probably hop on tonight and get some more practice in.

What are the stats I mean. I don't get it. I hate TF2's explanation of stats: for example: +25% reduction in flame damage.

There's an increase of a reduction in an after-effect and its in blue text.

Well, if you have problems with spy, there is always the dead ringer :D

More than the other classes, for Spy your choice of cloaking device (Default Watch, Dead Ringer, or Cloak and Dagger) seems to really impacts what the most effective playstyle will be. Which knife you use does to a lesser extent, as well. The other classes don't vary quite as much when changing up their weapon (ignoring demoknights, lawl).

As both the Cloak and Dagger and the Dead Ringer are unlocked via achievements, if you play around enough you'll have access to them and can figure out what works best for you.

So far, in my very limited Spy play time, I've found that while acting is useful it's generally better if they never see you to begin with - some people just spy check anyway, regardless of your acting. But then I like the Cloak and Dagger the most so far - so go figure.

I must admit i'm still not sure how the Dead Ringer works. I've got it, I just don't know what to do with it.

edit- nvm, just read the wiki page on it.

I really just like using the default loadout, but if I'm feeling cheeky and my aim is on point, I'll whip out the ambassador. Not a fan of cloak and dagger. I thought I would love it, as using disguises feels so luck-based, but in most games you really do need them regardless. In fact, playing the spy in general feels very luck-based at times. My backstabs kept failing me today too and just, either not registering, or not registering as backstabs.

Any tips on how to break sentry guns? I play a lot of CP/PL and no matter how fast we rush and coordinate, by the time we get to the last point there are 3-4+ level 3 sentry guns set up and nothing can break it lol (this would be in like a huge 16v16 server). I'm starting to think the game just isn't balanced in mind for this kind of play.

This kind of situation is when teamwork really starts to pay off.

The amount of newbies in this game with no idea how to play is extremely frustrating.
Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!

pick soldier, sniper, or demo and hit the sentries from far away.

Uber'd heavy
Sap them as a spy (probably the hardest if there are a ton of engineers)

It requires coordination.

Spy sapping or Bonk Scout and the rest of the team follows in behind the demo.
If you're ubering a heavy, make sure to block the rockets and bullets from him with your uber medic so he doesn't get extremely pushed back and can take out the sentries.

Yeah, you need uber demo for 3+ Ideally with a sap right before popping

PYro is really good against one, if your reflects are on point.
