TF2 Team Fortress 2 - I, Spy

Just an early TF2 Spy Tips video I threw together for giggles; I watch this video now and yearn for the old days when people weren't so fastidious with their Spy checking! This was all recorded in the couple of months following the games release, hence the old version of Dustbowl.

Some of the tips are still valid (albeit common sense for the best part); as noted by Daedalus, Spies no longer leave a teleporter trail (I didn't notice till I watched his newly-annotated video) - however this is still no reason to use them; IMO Spies & Scouts should generally never teleport, as the run from Spawn to the Front is handy for Spy checking :)
Video details:

Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation:
#11 - The Narcotic Suite - 3 Kilos

The audio for the Pyro break was hidden on a beatboxing track I downloaded a while ago; DJ Slinky (& possibly his mate) VS Rahzel & The Human Orchestra

DJ Shadow - Entroducing:
#3 - The Number Song

Fix the typo in one annontation at 0:13 , it should be - Don't mind me, I'm clearly an Australian Sniper.

@LittleArmah I see where you're going, but it's meant to be 'Austrian'; being a crappy spy and all that can't get it quite right.. ;)

[RoDziLLA39]

how do you automaticly disguise ??? plz tell me !

[tehPete]

@RoDziLLA39 It's under 'last used disguise' in keyboard options

Interesting video. Yes, people nowaday are spycheck-horrors and they are too many fool-proof spycheck techniques (jarate, mad milk,...). But nice video and memoration of good ol' times. And one notice - on 8:58 you would be better off sapping from the roof (provided there are no enemies around that hut) bc the higher you are above sentry the longer sap range. And engi would waste precious time climbing that ladder to you.

@Torham0 True, I was just playing with the Engi :) You could be really cheeky back then!

[Fierce0Deity0Link]

no hats, no cloak and dagger, no dead ringer, enemies easy to trick, I miss that time.

[julcek]

What I don't get is why there's no new unlockable sapper for spy o3o

[lukamalo]

5:40 O.o nice :)

[TheKeyWestian]

I love running around with just the essentials-knife, invisibility, and disguise.

[neji2401]

[AOwneD]

But theres no pyro, when there's pyro on the match the spies are f***ed
