To the Dev Team, about the spy cloak...

[Gwarsbane]

No this isn't a rant or anything of the sort. I just wanted to say, I take back everything I said about the spy cloak.

I complained about the spy when this game first came out, I seen the cloak as a very bad thing. But now I see it as a good thing. I really enjoy playing spy. Its still a challenge to get into the enemy base as it used to be in TFC.

But now I have a lot more fun harassing players by tranqing them, then cloaking again and just sitting in the same spot.

I get a great laugh when I hear over the mic "theres a spy around, he just tranqed me" and they start firing wildly all over the place and I am no where near. Or i tranq them while sitting beside them, and they freak out, move forward which opens up their back to me.

So I say, thank you for putting this in, I really should have said something long before this. Its a fun addition.

hehe could have been. Thats one of my favorite things to do on maps is annoy people staying in one place too long. Heck I've done it to people from across the map. lol

While I'm doing this to people, I become really quiet because I don't want them to see me talking over the mic.

Course there are the few times I tell a sniper or hardware that I am about to kill them. I tell them to say goodbye, I back stab them, and then tell them I warned them. lol

Course there is one problem, everytime I am cloaked and I am sneaking up on someone, I get the Jaws theme music going though my head. lol

[KubeDawg]

lmao that's awesome. you need to make some demos of that and post em on youtube with some jaws music in the background.

[bokko]

Hold on a sec, so you heard the guy you tranqed talking over voicecomms.... You were tranqing your own team?

For some reason, a few of the populated servers are running with alltalk enabled..

dude! same here! especially on crossover when i'm waiting in the water and somebody jumps in, i start humming that shit.

[BinaryLife]

lol the jaws thing reminds me of a game type my old roommate would play with any FPS game that had mics. They would all pick a person to be cloaked in whatever game and that person has to sit their mic on a speaker playing the Mike Myers theme so when he gets close to them they hear the music playing and getting louder hehe. Great fun.

I still suck as a spy as always, but I've consitantly attributed that to my suckage over everything else. I'm trying to expand though haha.

I'm going to start demoing my games again so that I can do stuff like this. I slacked off after I got my new system up and running, I was just having too much fun to remember to do this. lol

I also want to get around to making some videos of all the sniping I have done. I just can't remember which demos had the best ones and just for Fortress forever I had something like 6 or 7 gigs of demos (all around 30 to 40 megs each) so Its taking me a while and the demo player is not the most stable thing and could use some updates like being able to rewind easily.

I've already made a HL2DM video that to Judas Priest - Jawbreaker. I suppose I should figure out how to get it and the other videos I've made up on youtube. hehe Some people seem to like them.

No, I was on servers that had alltalk on where you can hear both teams. Sometimes annoying, but sometimes, like this time, really fun.

Like all other games just keep working at it and you will get it. It took me a while to get anywhere as decent at spy as I am and there are many out there who are much better then I am. Though I do seem to have a bit of luck on my side, like while being cloaked, have another cloaked spy back into me, out in the middle of a wide open map. lol

Yeah Both the AE & e0 runs with alltalk on since it helps when players ask questions; better to say it then type it.

[KubeDawg]

Alltalk = pwn.

[[AE] 5316 *TKZ*]

I see no reason not to have all-talk on a pub.... friendly game, friendly conversations, and plenty of good smack talkin'!

Man, the convo's we have to the :e0: server sometimes...

[greenday5494]

i love the youtube with the spy and goldeneye music . oh, and spy is fun now that i have DX9.

[pF]

Dunno. I usually find it annoying to have all players on the server yelling into my ears.. with usually inane & pointless crap. Plus, there are some things i'd like to discuss with my teammates without having the other team knowing about everything. A solution would probably be to modify the built-in voice comms to be able to use 'team' and 'public' channels.. so go devs!
