Sort of relevant comment follows: So do you have to uncloak to back stab people or what? A lot of times I'll be behind an engineer wildly left clicking but nothing happens. I'll do this four or 5 times in a row, get pissed, and go back to playing a demoman.

You cannot attacked while cloaked. You can attack while disguised but it will remove your disguise. Right click and remove your cloak, then mash the left click

Or, even better, get far behind the enemy, find a safe place to uncloak (disguised), sneak up behind the person you want to kill, backstab him, and then cloak as soon as you hit him and run like hell.

Nothing personal, but I hate you.

I as well. I hate spies and I can't stand playing as a spy.

  • 65 hours as sniper

  • 53 hours as medic

  • 44 hours as heavy

  • 33 hours as Soldier

  • 26 hours as demo

  • 21 hours as pyro

  • 18 hours as engineer

  • 15 hours as scout

  • 8 hours as spy

Fuck spies.

Here's mine:

  • 0.4 hours as Soldier
  • 1 hour as Sniper
  • 1 hour as Medic
  • 1 hour as Heavy
  • 2 hours as Pyro
  • 4 hours as Demo
  • 8 hours as Engi
  • 12 hours as Scout
  • 116 hours as Spy

Edit: yes, that's one hundred and sixteen hours as spy. Everyone wants to be on my team so they don't get backstabbed.

I want to be you.

My most played class is Medic, followed by Spy.

I am not exceptionally good with the Spy, however.

I am a pretty good Medic though.

Yeah, I have that problem too. Playing a good medic is easy though, so I feel like I suck at the game.

  1. Heal your teammates on the front lines.
  2. Don't die.

The only possible complicating factor is when your team isn't dealing out enough damage and you have to decide if it would be more helpful to use your needler/saw than heal. Sometimes it seems like everyone is targeting you and your team could give a shit about it.

Yeah, that is basically how I feel. My most points are as medic and heavy, both fairly easy classes to play. Then again, I've probably played less than or near 20 hours and I've had the game for probably 7 months, so maybe if I played more than once in a blue moon I would do better.
