Well, the problem with that idea is that you're going to have your target's name a lot, and that's the #1 way of telling that somebody is a spy.DoctaStrangelove wrote:
Look, if I see a spy without a disguise on, I'm gonna think he's an enemy spy. Not only that but the fall back arguement works allot better for engineer and sniper.nukchebi0 wrote:
Oh, not in my experiences. You cloak until you are in the enemy midst, and when you uncloak, you just look like a spy that got injured and is running back to the medical cabinet. If you are safely behind enemy lines, not having a disguise becomes less of a tell - maybe you just didn't bother to get one after fleeing - and when it comes to uncloaking, it makes the most sense. I always love idiots that uncloak with a demoman or heavy, because its kind of obvious they are a spy.
Also, on that note, I would venture to say that pyro is nearly as bad as scout.
Engi and Sniper are by far the nest thing to disguise as. First and foremost they tend to be behind the front lines, and it wouldn't seem so odd to see one walking around away from the fighting. Second the Spy's main target's are snipers and engis so it wouldn't seem odd to see one in a sniper position or in an area where engis built their stuff. Third spy moves as fast as sniper and engi so you wouldn't sacrifice your pwn speed, which is needed to be able to backstab enemies. Demoman would otherwise be the same as sniper and engi but the demo moves slower so it can be tough to backstab guys.
Its usually incidental, as you notice something materializing, so the color is not always apparent.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Heavy and Soldier are bad ones because they are the slowest classes in the game, and seeing one go super fast especially a heavy means it is a spy.
Edit: And vice versa for the scout

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
you're an idiot. a spy fisguised as a soldier or heavy moves as slow as that class. a spy disguised as scout just moves at a spy's speed.War Man wrote:

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
Didn't know that. Thanks, now I can do better as a spy now that I know that.haffeysucks wrote:
