FACESTAB!

[triciaf61]

FACEPWN

[KelThuzadMadness]

If you'll look closely you're hitting his back, from the front, but the back.

It wouldnt've happened if he wasn't sitting

[SoloRazaSoldier13]

The engineer's deathnote is what makes this golden

[Efficacy28]

I wish it was like this all the time...

[xburritoxboy]

Best facestab evar?

[MORTALKOMBATRULZx123]

facestab.. never fails

[keltuzak]

LoL

[Elbartolo99]

nice video GRaHIC SHIT

[xDPOTTIxD]

happens to me all the time...

i'm looking right in the spy's f'ing face and he kills me with a backstab?!

wtf?

[Fetchdafish]

The sad thing about the facestab glitch is it makes sense. I mean the back is only so much more vulnerable. A knife right to the face should kill just as quickly.

[Emelljee]

@Fetchdafish Yeah, but would you want a spy running up to you and killing you without even getting your gun out? Spys would be overpowered if facestabs worked 100%.

[tdudexd]

spah sappin mah EYE!

[deadmeu]

i was once firing my ambassador at a medic and i was low hp and i accidentally jumped turned out i head shotted him at 5 metres apart =D

[DaNoobKilr]

that was full on in the face!

[thehumor]

thats a motherfucking face stab alright

[DanJoeProductions97]

Skills.

[flar28]

head shot

[roxasfruit]

BOOM HEADSTAB!

[victor0residentevil4]

LOL ?!?!

[fuolox]

Get up where?

[ObeIiskos]

The definitive facestab.

[JAXJAK218]

This looks like some scene from a horror movie from the way he just fell there.

[TetrisLock]

waawaawoowoo

[tdudexd]

spah sappin mah WAAAH

[ElChrisman99]

nu not his WAAAH :'(

[clockwise3559]

i fking hate that

[wed3k]

what a loser ass class.

[Voodoochild167]

Ya that can happen alot sometimes.... which is a good thing for me:)

[CrveniGavran]

ummmmmmm, im thinking of bying TF 2, is it possible to play single player? (bots etc.) pm me back please

[fuolox]

No, it's multiplayer only. There is some work on third party bots, but the game is meant for multiplayer only.

[MysticRixel]

@fuolox 7 months after... now you can play singleplayer :P

[fuolox]

@MysticRixel Tru dat. But the bots only work in arena.

Funny how Valve are implementing the thing that killed their first game.

[adampaz95]

@fuolox ummm wait you can play dustbowl and sawmill things for SP

[PlasticineGuy]

@fuolox

Bots work in every CP map but ColdFront now.

[Marty6271]

no just multiplayer dude but it is a fantastic game for multiplayer

[ObeIiskos]

Well, bots were recently implemented, but only for certain maps. For most maps, they'll just stand around and do nothing.

However, I recommend playing multiplayer anyway. Currently, bots don't put up much of a challenge. It's more fun to go up against actual people.

[FlashFireSix]

@CrveniGavran There is now singleplayer bots but only on King of the hill maps and only on PC

[benry200]

@CrveniGavran they JUST released offline mode-AKA singleplayer with bots

[xburritoxboy]

@CrveniGavran now after the new update you can do single player mode

[alvariux1123]

@CrveniGavran NOW IT IS!

[flar28]

@CrveniGavran

yea you can do that its calld offline practice but you can only play cap the point maps

[Zega000]

@CrveniGavran

update, there IS singleplayer now

[oopsIdidasuper]

@Zega000 Well that's all well and good telling him that a year after he asked it.

[Zega000]

@oopsIdidasuper

Better to know late then never. Also, kiss the fattest part of my ass ;)

[NtropyPyroductions]

@CrveniGavran 1 year later, it's free. Go figure.

[JamesNintendoNord]

@CrveniGavran the game is free dumbshit!

[mariocake1]

@JamesNintendoNord It's great even if its free. There are basically no hacks (unlike MW2, etc.), and I paid 2 years ago and I get trading, crafting, all that stuff.

[DWNmetalman777]

@JamesNintendoNord fun fact; Humans can't see into the future.

[bleach0rules]

in some guys video he explained that the only part of you thats safe from a back stab or side stab is your body facing the spy but it its facing away theres a pretty good chance of a face stab but people are getting wise to it now

[tonylin2]

"In your face~!!"

[folken53]

i did that before, a scout ran up a slope, we collided, stood faced moving forward for 5 seconds going nowhere, both our brains just froze :P and then i just stabbed him right in the face and he died ¬¬

[Osiris1337x]

not.. really that special you know.

its a pretty common glitch that happens alot

[KarthXLR]

You seem forget that facestabs ARE A GLITCH

[Railware]

Unless you actually managed to snip the spinal chord with a stab to the back, dont you think that stabs IN YOUR FACE would hurt more than stabs in the back?

[nado117]

yeah, but its alot more fun stabbing people when they don't know your there. Its a game mechanic, not an anatomy class.

[pmbtheheavy]

howw!!!!!

[shorty00104]

WHAT!??!?!?! how lol?

[VAKanako]

engies deserve getting facestabbed, especially ones that are so bad and cant aim at all so they dont even switch to their shotguns

[Acodin144]

spy sappin my face!!

[poliszhalex]

Face stab FTW.

[DarkRisingLord]

Its patched now. DX!!!

But people always find new ways to... Fuck with other people XD!

[Bandslayer103]

that has to be one of the most brutal gory stabs ive seen in Tf2. i mean the way he just layed there looked like a massacre

[Mrfishcakeslol]

its actually a stab to the side witch kills em but it looks like its in the face

[potatoWTFnope]

Oh noez! Captain obious has invaded this video too!

[F0k3rTheSucker]

IN you'r Fucking FACE engi !!! nice good job... bit lucky

[tdudexd]

what i have to say to the engie... IN YOUR FACE!!!! (litterally :D)

[maksie88]

Spy sappin' mahAAAAAAUUHH!

[anontix]

fucking face stabs!

[UrbanMovieProducer]

owned !

[metrkhope]

nice fs haha

*i wish i had 44ping ._.'' (13ping ftl)*

[zezu09]

does the facestab only for PC version?

[fuolox]

No, lol. It can happen on the Xbox 360 as well.

[stevengood12]

IN DA FACE LMAO

[Henrietta20]

@fuolox now you can't face stab as long i know

[Spunkyowns]

gotta be a bug... nice anyway! xD

[shirosaki97]

long story shot ping is not lag and i think the face stab is a glitch (my opinion)

[dragonraizen]

Of course not, it was carefully programmed to be an extremely advanced technique in the hands of a skilled player...

[shirosaki97]

figured that out now XD since i like side stabbed but it looked like a face stab

[Skwart]

it isnt always because of lag, I stabbed someone in their face inside the ctf_turbine air vent and I got a backstab

[Nicky02468]

Facestab is just a form of 'lag compensation' which means he only looks like the engineer is facing the spy on one of the two PC's, the server and the other PC havn't caught up yet but the info is still sent. It's pretty much unfixable

[braytex]

not true, facestabs can happen front on, like in corridors where players on oposing team cant pass eachother. thats what a true facestab is. lag compesation can make a facestabs appear to have happened but it also causes people to appear to have been shot from behind a wall

[VVK28]

How doe you do it??

[illuminati503]

facestabs...more effective in real life =)

[ukystout]

lol thats hilarious i bet he rage quited

[vampiregt600]

Facestab but u get points like backstab. Bug

[Ahrussoh]

I get facestabbed like once or twice a day on average, it really pisses my off when i get "backstabbed" by a spy who is currently being hit by my flamer -- while you can still hear the scorching sound.

However from a spy point of view, it's kind'a funny to see XD

Knowing that guy must be really pissed

[kiba213]

poke

[Viper5677]

Facestab in the FACE!

[SirSausage]

Spy sappin mah ARGHHH!!

[sillentguy322]

i lolz in my pantz XDDD LOLOLOLOL ROFL

[MagnuM2980]

That was a brilliant example of a facestab! 5/5

[philv1111]

now i know why i got owned

[demonikreaper]

The fuck does ping have to do with anything?

[jancom777]

To prove it wasn't lag that caused it.

[demonikreaper]

A PING does not represent your connection to the server. It represents the time it takes to send a small, byte sized packet to the server and receive it. Lag can have any number of roots, either client-side or server-side. It's unfortunate none of you idiots has a clue about it. And yes, a ping can have a relation to the actual speed between the server and you, but more often than not, it's just a really rough estimate.

[Muffinz525]

A ping does represent the speed it takes to send a packet from your computer to the server you are connected to.

Say, you are downloading something. Your ping will go up, because the file you are downloading is eating your bandwith.

In this video, the players computer could have made an error (the server could have made an error too) and failed to estimate that he was turned around, and thats why he got an instakill.

[andon217]

you owned him XD that had to hurt......bad.

[Mysterbyg]

He must have been looking at your feet, making your knife be not on his screen.

[Irooooon]

you got it because he was ducking and it counts as a headstab, still, pretty neat when you get one.

[XZeR02X]

nice

[Timmyo000]

The spy should get a kill taunt, the face stab taunt. Epic and highlighting their own flaw

[NukeUrself]

Heh yeah nice idea for knife taunt ;)

[Emeexuqu]

maybe in the spy update

[zooomm]

In reality hitting somebody in the face should damage the person, a lot. Still, it is annoying when random lag kills come along.

[fuolox]

Heh. Imagine if Valve implemented a 'headshot' system for the butterfly knife.

[zooomm]

The possibilities!

[AnonEggman]

Well I'd imagine getting stabbed in the head would kill you just as fast as getting stabbed in the back.

[NadeoKing]

fail engineer

[omfgdano123]

he was crouching, hitting them on top of the head is a backstab

[Nikotyniak]

Attack got through hitbox and hitted inner side of back-side hitbox = facestab. Minor lag (Completly, even 1 ping can do) + collision = little chance of facestab.

Roll stab is other thing (IE hitting hitbox when it turned around already, thou hit was registered on it)

[souperzombie]

SPY SAPPIN MAH-AAAAUUUUUGH

[TLONightmare]

roflmao

[woopyfrood]

I did this exact same thing once, only the Engy was standing straight up when I did it.

[Survivor077]

Notice how the engineers head is slightly bent over look closely it looks as though he hit the engineer just at the tip of his back

[Survivor077]

There is muiltiple things that could happen as a face stab.

1. The engineer could of been wounded.

2.The direction he hit the engineer is probably the target area for a backstab kill

3. ***Notice real close where he stabs the engineer.**

[Reddaxe]

If he was just wounded the icon wouldn't have been that of a backstab.

[MotorizedCow]

*clap clap clap* Very Nice!

[1xadavid]

you should do it in slow mo next time. Just for kicks! :D

[fuolox]

Good idea. If Valve had backwards support for demos, that would help.

I got the WORST facestab (worse than this one) a few days ago. I was walking towards a soldier when he turned around. Stabbed him right in his chest, reigstered as a backstab.

No height difference, straight in the stomach. Shame I wasn't recording a demo.

[Pikachux1000]

its common if you swing while they are facing the other way, if you hit anywere after, its a backstab

[fuolox]

Not after the Feb 2008 patch, you have to be hitting the back of the hitbox for it to register.

[MoomooT3hCow]

POW right in the kisser

[austinthony]

POW right in the kisser

[dantsuale]

it hit the engies back of the head, engineers are made to face down and therefore you often hit the more back side of their head and it counts as a backstab

[keltroy]

honestly the game is so annoying when it wont register a backstab or when it facestabs

[stalk8r]

This stuff happens to me all the time. I get more facestabs than backstabs! When I hit someone to the back, I have an animation, but nothing happens and then, two minutes later I screw up and hit someone to the face (expecting that Ill die in a few seconds) and PUF! Backstab. It really ruins the experience of plaiyng as a spy, so come on Valve. Fix backstabs. Please. They are last major flaw in Team Fortress 2.

[TK3C]

Lag.

[Chocceh]

POW right in the kisser

[STRADOUKEN]

They patched this a while ago methinks

[fuolox]

It wasn't truly patched - all they did was remove the ability to backstab if you have the animation loaded but you don't hit the back. As you can see in the video, my knife plays the 'fast' stab animation.

The update wouldn't have made any difference to this scenario.

[fierysnake1]

once i face stap someone they didnt die

[keltroy]

THEN ITS NOT A FACESTAB a facestab is a backstab somehow working on the face it may be just a crit and always say its a backstab but i dont know and when u facestab without saying its a backstab then its just a stab

[HeartBreakKid551]

omfg i hate it when spies do that to me its like the game thinks 90%of my body is my back and the other 10% is the front

[bobby66489]

For some reason I only facestab pyros

[thesolo]

Pause at 0:08, engineer is crouching and facing the spy, the forward stab the spy makes technically doesn't hit *anything* on the player model, but obviously hit something on the hitbox. Awful.

[Snowmiser14508]

Facestabs occur when the hitbox of the knife hits the back of someone's head THROUGH the player model. odd stuff eh?

[Makinoija]

It's a shoulder-stab, actually.

spy sapping my EYE!!

[HayaneHayaokimasu]

Right in the eye.

[Jallentime]

MY EYES YOU CUT OUT MY EYES

[fuolox]

I'm sorry!

[JackIsASpy]

Spy sappin my - AUGHHH!

[KemiiSu]

lol

[runescapeftwghtoo]

topstab... you aimed his helm(a lil over it) so its like a bs

[mandrilla]

báckstabs are bugged when stabbing in the back aswell, theres vids out where a spy stabs ppl for 3-5 times in a row in the back, no kill, happens to me every now n then, the slashing sound effect is there, and the victim goes "ouch" but no backstab insta killi once stabbed a spy SIX times in his back then he turned around and i killed him with a stab to the chest , he died of regular melee dmg,not backstab

[Eddyble]

this is sometimes due to hitboxes and lag reduction, i.e your stabbing his character model(blood usually comes out) but he is not actually being damaged. the hitbox is usually infront of the person moving, thus if he was going sideways or anything, he would have been further to the left/right then his actual character model. and yes i know... its hell annoying being unable to stab someone, or being killed by someone who wasnt even aiming at you due to hitboxes, but what can u do...

[cookmasterr]

TOPSTAB not facestab.... u can also stab from the sides if you aim at thier spine and whenever someone gets stabbed by side or top usually yell "Noob that was a facestab!" or something idiotic like that

[playtogame]

This is Valves way of saying cant he face and put the knife on your backylike put his arm around you

[ty16l]

um...what?

[thisissowrong9]

LOL!

[Modgraham]

Spys knife is fucked up atm.. about a month ago it was fine.. but its hard to get a backstab now IMO.. this is a vid that proves it..

[fuolox]

This video was made in February, a few weeks before the 'fixed facestabs' patch was released.

Put it this way:

At the release of TF2, you could click on someones back and it would play the animation, and as long as you were in range of the enemy you are guaranteed a backstab, regardless of whether their back was facing you.

At the February patch, you could click on someone's back, animation would play, but the knife has to land on their back. If they turned around, you can't hit them.

[muhaimenrulez]

instead of trying to sneak up on the engie i just jump onto the sentry and kill the engie and sap the sentry cuz the sentry cant shoot

[SYSPrison]

oh thats okay. i've died like that as heavy b4 in a narrow corridor..where the spy COULD NOT get past me even if he could double jump :/

[akipuff]

Yeah, it's a top stab, he shouldn't have been crouching down like that. It's how you take out engies that are just campin' behind their little sentry/dispenser forts. The upper part of the hit box also counts for critical hits on the back burner for Pyro.

[tehnooblegend]

theres ALOT of bugs with the knife spy is like so underpowered 1 thing i do not get face stabs arent 1 hits or at leats do 100 but i guess we gotta live in the shadows till valve fixes all the spys problmes and gives us spys an updtae i mean seriously spys deserver it more engie our too strong there shot gun killed me in 1 hit and when i go scot  i cant 1 hit crit a spy

[nitrohedgehog]

grammatical....error...overloa­d!

[Jallentime]

You think spys have problems? they should re-name the sapper the engineer piss off device

[CrazyChickenMFK5]

lol

[numbercruncher4000]

OWNED lol id love to do this.

[ertyu1111]

Spy sapping my- Auhhhhhh!

[UberGusMage]

its funny how people complain about this but dont realize how many stabs are missed because of knife coding...

[MrShroubles]

i was like behind one sniper when i hit him he did a little knock back forward and turned to kill me :(

[MrAngy]

yeah werd, spies are bloody hard to play against good teams and let's face it, if the other team is just communicating properly, that's enough to get the jump on you.

plus, with these facestabs, i'm certain a lot of what are claimed are instead due to lag compo, just like how pyro sometimes have enormous range and snipers sometimes seem to shoot through walls.

[BuzzyBe]

I think that the head hitboxes are just bigger then usual, that way snipers can get easy kills somethimes.
