After playing this game for over 11 years I have only started really trying out spy outside of some niche applications like terrorizing the engineers in the Doublecross Intel room and I can now say with certainty that I now know true pain. What a horrible class.

>>24518Spy is the most frustrating class of them all. Really hard to master and way less fun to play since Valve nerfed the spy's most effective weapons: the dead ringer and the ambassador. You can make a lot of damage if the other team sucks, but if they're pros, it's incredibly challenging.

>>24518Spy is a class that only really works in chaotic 24-player pubs with braindead teammates who don't know what the chat function is for.

>>26815Seems like doublecross was a natural choice after all, at least for a dabbling spy like me. Maybe I should try it on Steel since I actually know the map in comparison to everyone else who ends up on it. Kinda sad, since it's just a really good map

>>26820A server hosted on weekends with a map rotation we could vote on would be fun. I just doubt that we would get more than ~10 consistent players

Years of playing Spy in pubs just to suck, I take a couple weeks playing Heavy and Demo and it somehow all just clicks—is this the trick on how to play Spy for retards?

Spy and Ms.Pauling do have a lot of chemistry, but I think she should have at least one good emotional punch moment with Demoman where she realizes "I will never be violent enough" by the time the story ends.

stock tf2 was great because engineers couldn't make me use my entire magazine of stickies to destroy an NPC by hitting 2 on their keyboard
team fights were a lot slower and more methodical but people clustered around their medics and there was a lot more actual fighting when the rounds were slower
there was much less bullshit stalling, 5CP had a lot more back and forth because engineer was as originally intended, as in, demoman and soldier can actually blow up his shit

>>35016This video is making me go insane. All this pomp and then the shoe drops:
CONSISTENT 30.000 ACTIVE PLAYERSI play games that barely get over 100 consistently, and they're doing fine. Then there is bitch ass unable to just hop into private servers.
Love the oooh we gotta do some complicated math shit, and then he just takes some divisions. That he can't read the multi-year trend is actually declining slightly (as would be expected), and not "stagnant", is the cherry on top.
This video is pure chan brain rot: using the most basic building blocks and pretending you're an expert for applying them. Somehow it's endearing this is still so popular.

>>35112>sorry but the idea that games or media in general have an expiration date is moronicIt's not moronic because proprietary online games and games with DRM become unplayable if the server software isn't released and if DRM isn't removed. You can make private servers in TF2 so even if Steam DRM stops working there is a potential that private servers will still be working on cracked versions of the game. BUT some online features such as trading and achievements will not work anymore if the game gets delisted (even "dead" online games don't get delisted so that's unlikely).

>>35117none of this has anything to do with the age of a game though. games younger than tf2 have had their official servers killed

>>35119>none of this has anything to do with the age of a game thoughOf course. Just saying that games indeed do expire, but not in a way the anon thinks they do. It's indeed not the age that expires them, but rather the devs themselves, and it's always either their own fault or their publisher's.
