jjrox32 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Spies and snipers are very good to chose when the map has atleast 20 players on it not matter the map. But yeah i even use them when theres 5 players playing, becouse only a pro can use them even 1 vs 1 \ :wall: Well if anyone want to play in a good server, add me: Noturnbak Scout is the best 1v1 class, by far.

Lenin64 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Dead Ringer+knife taunt=awesome. Stand outside the enemy spawn at startup, equip ringer, taunt as gate opens. They never see it coming. I did it on Egypt, and when the heavy in front of my corpse suddenly died everyone was like, "Holy crap!" All talk was on, and I heard one guy say, "ok guys, there's a spy with a ringer". He kept it up everytime I died, even when I had the cloak and dagger. So I had them on their toes the whole time, even when I didn't have them. It was the first time anyone on that server had seen that in action. :thumbsup: Command the Murderous Chalices!

Furah Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Spy and sniper are horrible classes for 1v1... To each his own. I like the spy 1 vs 1 but prefer the sniper when there are many people so that I can pick off the distracted ones. Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement.

If you try to take on any class head-on, 1v1 as spy, you'll die. Unless of course you get a facestab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to taunt and cloak in quick succession. I don't know about the Ringer though, but I've seen yotube vids of it being done. If you knife taunt while having the dead ringer out, and the feign death is activated the taunt still works while you are cloaked. and since the dead ringers cloak reduces damage by 90% and doesn't flicker, they usually just walk into you wondering why the hell they can't walk forward, then die. Funny as hell :3 Spy and sniper are horrible classes for 1v1... To each his own. I like the spy 1 vs 1 but prefer the sniper when there are many people so that I can pick off the distracted ones. Spy is really horrible at 1 v 1, if it comes down to 1 v 1 with a decent player your best bet is to cloak away, if you don't have cloak, dodge until you do and then make a break for it. Or just spam like hell and pray for a lucky headshot :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrox32 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I had some epic taunt kills on dustbowl as spy when my team was pubbin'. I really hope valve doesn't patch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I like the Hunstman a lot more than the sniper rifle. Easier to run'n'gun, sort of, and you don't have to be nearly as precise. I'll usually fire somewhat blindly around a corner and >50% of the time I'll get at least a hit. Many headshots that way. I took a screenshot of that weird fire arrow kill. Doesn't look like a headshot. My only guess is someone died as a result of the fire, not the arrow. [hide=][/hide] Command the Murderous Chalices!

Nadril Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Only thing with huntsman is it is more of a luck gun then skill. It's not really hard to shoot around a corner, of course you'll hit someone. I ended up stop using it because I couldn't get a kill when it MATTERED. Sniper can be pretty good with support up in closer range though with jarate/huntsman at time though.

Lenin64 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yea, it's pretty hard to get a kill you mean to get. Takes a lot of leading depending on how far away the target is.

Wisp Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm pretty good as a spy 1v1, just because I'm pretty good at pulling off headshots. Killing a pyro running at you is so satisfying, as they're pretty much the anti spy class. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but I'm pretty good with the ambassador in general. I wouldn't bet on me against say, a heavy in 1v1 with me as a spy, but pretty much everything else other than a scout I can usually beat 1 on 1. But of course it depends on how good the other person is. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only guess is someone died as a result of the fire, not the arrow. [hide=][/hide] It's a mechanic of the huntsman, whilst you have your arrow up and ready to fire, a friendly pyro can set it on fire before you shoot, adding extra damage and flame damage. Although there was no assist, so thats a bit wierd =/ Unless an enemy pyro hit your arrow or something.

But when you get a regular fire arrow kill, it's just the normal arrow symbol but on fire. This looks like a flaming backstab. I think it means the fire effect killed him, not the arrow damage, but I don't know for sure. My second guess is a firey headshot, but that looks nothing like a headshot. And jj, go ahead.
