[Duke 2.0]

 Despite having an extra shot it feels like I run out of shots faster with that thing. And the rockets feel slower so I can't ever track with it.

I manage to craft the new pyro main weapon. I like it. I dont like the manmelter, for one reason. There is no visual que when its ready to fire again, so its a pain in the ass to time when you can fire again.

I love the firing animation for the new pyro wep. Its pretty.

How do you be a decent sniper? I've only had 1 run as a sniper when I didn't get my arse totally kicked. So far, finding a point where you cannot be backstabbed and where people can only come from one direction is the only way I've been decent. Should I just use the huntsman and hope to sneak up behind people?

[Duke 2.0]

 Movement seems key, as well as always having a team in front of you to distract people. I've heard that it's easier when you try snap sniping, where you point at a target unzoomed and try not to spend too much time zoomed in. If your framerate isn't high enough that sniping is gonna be a problem, and frames are gonna be low at usual sniping spots.

Grab the Machina, and just start shooting everyone. I'm normally a bad sniper, but I get these big kill streaks with it.

I don't think the sniper class is for me. I usually get bored with it very quickly and I'm just naturally shit at it. Anyone have tips for playing as a spy instead?

Dead Ringer, Spycicle, and the Enforcer. You are the thing that makes grown men cry.

Always consider if a situation allows for using a revolver instead of the knife, if you can pop someone with one or two shots from a blind spot, it's probably better than exposing yourself by stabbing.

 Scout, you are a fountain of terrible ideas. They are legitimate ways of playing and do offer powerful combos, but they are still frustratingly terrible.

[Jackrabbit]

As far as I can see, it'll help you get away from Pyros with the Dead Ringer just long enough that you can loudly decloak without a knife.

I feel the same way about (Rifle) Sniper, it plays too slow and doesn't feel satisfying so I have no desire to get good at it. (Huntsman) Sniper is another matter entirely. Arrows are fun.

Tips for playing spy? When disguised:
Always face the direction that the other team would be facing, even if it means running backwards.
Turn around periodically, both the get a fuller view of your surroundings and to look like you're checking for enemy spy's (ei: you) behind you.
Don't call medic when you're disguised as someone who's not damaged. You might fool the medic momentarily, but most players immediately spycheck a teammate who does this.
Enemy dispensers refill your health + cloak, charge up before you start sapping stuff.

Also:
Get good at sidestabs. Run beside someone, quickly turn and stab. Playing spy on Degroot is actually kind of good for practicing this, since it's basically all you'll be doing.
Pick a type of cloak and stick with it. The three different watches have drastically different playstyles, get used to one first. Revolvers and knives can mostly be interchanged without drastic changes to play.
Regardless of what cloak your using, find corners with minimal visibility for uncloaking.
Stab -> Quickswitch -> Sap. Learn to do it. Spies who don't make Engineers lives hell aren't doing their job properly.

Actually, there's probably all sorts of stuff I could say. I'll leave it there. Also, use the Connivers Kunai. It is OP.

It's very important to stay cloaked as long as possible once you are.

Disguise as scout once you learn the map well enough to stay disguised constantly with ammo. It's the smallest model, and people shouldn't be seeing you much unless in kill-cams.

I dont know, spy scouts stick out like a sore thumb to me. They're noticably arent as fast, they dont jump around, ect ect. To me, the spy is least capable of emulating the scout.

Like I was saying, you shouldn't be seen at all. The amount of time you'll be seen running around as scout disguise is only the amount of time it'll take to uncloak, stab, do whatever, then cloak again. If you know all the ammo spots on the map, it's pretty easy.
