TF2 – How to Play the Spy: The Spy Update

Make sure annotations are on and play in HD! This video shows new tactics, strategy and gameplay for the Spy update’s Ambassador, Dead Ringer and Cloak & Dagger in Team Fortress 2. It is a total guide to playing the new spy. The video assumes that you are already familiar with how the spy plays normally – if not, a good thing to watch would be EvilDaedalus’ video “How to play the spy” to get an introduction. Outtakes are at the end! The Sniper/Spy update for Team Fortress 2 brought three new items for the Spy to use. The Revolver can be replaced by the Ambassador, a slower firing gun which does critical hits on headshots. The Cloak has two possible replacements: the Dead Ringer, which cloaks the spy and feigns his death for up to 8 seconds when the spy is damaged; or the Cloak & Dagger, which is a cloak drained only by movement. It also regenerates more slowly than the original cloak. The music in this video comes from the game files of TF2. The first one is called “Petite Chou-Fleur” (French for “Little Cauliflour”) and the second is called “Right Behind You.” Both are performed by the Valve Studio Orchestra and were first used in the Meet the Spy video on Steam. Or rather leaked on YouTube… I also sprinked in a couple of other game sounds, see if you can spot them 🙂 You can find all the game sounds inside C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\team fortress 2 content.gcf -you will need a GCF viewer like GCFscape to open it though. I made the video by saving demo files …
