Playing as Spy I realized that, while disguised as Soldier or Demoman with the Half-Zatoichi, I can equip the sword and switch back to another weapon without killing anyone before. Probably nobody does it, but it indicates that the Soldier/Demoman is surely an enemy Spy.

"You can also see cloaked enemy spies, although only when you are disguised as their team." Is this still possible or did they change it in future updates? Meter1060 02:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

It's not possible. Fix, for great justice! -- Firestorm 02:42, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Dated info

There's some dated info on this page. I've fixed those things I'm certain of. However there are some which I think are wrong but I'm not certain enough to change it.

  • A Medic with 0% ÜberCharge. An enemy spy disguised as a medic's fake uber percentage is always 0. I'm pretty sure it's a random value between 1 and 99 %
  • Airblasting & FAN-Knockback. I remember Valve going back and forth at those, not sure how it's currently.
  • If you have killed a Spy with the Übersaw and the charge hasn't increased, they are using the Dead Ringer. First time I heard this

Comments? --CruelCow 13:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Poot testing heer! I do know that one of the tips at the loading screen says "As a Medic, your UberCharge meter will not increase if you hit a disguised spy with the Ubersaw", or something worded differently but meaning this — WindPower 14:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
I just overhauled the page for most of the glaring errors (Valve fixed the knockback thing a long while back, for example). There are a few things here and there that still need to be confirmed, though. --LordKelvin 05:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Expanding into Specific Strategies

I gave a general overhaul of this section a few minutes ago, but I feel that it can be expanded somewhat. Is anybody against adding more sections, such as class-specific strategies (mainly Engineer strategies and anti-telefragging), specific strategies against weapons (Dead Ringer, Cloak and Dagger, Your Eternal Reward), and so on? --LordKelvin 05:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah, this is a good idea. May take a while, but would be pretty nice - I would help out. I was on this page merely to add something to the pyro strategy. And preferably, to detect a Dead Ringer, shoot at where the spy was before he died - Or not died. If you see blood, or hear a painful noise, then you've shot the spy. Try to find him and kill him - This time truly. Vault Medic 17:34, 30 August 2011 (PDT)

Name

Is it actually spelled "Spy-checking" somewhere? I saw it spelled "Spy checking" by Valve in the game. Rolandius 09:54, 13 August 2011 (PDT)

I'm pretty sure it would be called Spy Checking, as it there is no reason for a "-" in between. Vault Medic 17:31, 30 August 2011 (PDT)

Another sign that definitely indicate an enemy Spy

Playing as Spy I realized that, while disguised as Soldier or Demoman with the Half-Zatoichi, I can equip the sword and switch back to another weapon without killing anyone before. Probably nobody does it, but it indicates that the Soldier/Demoman is surely an enemy Spy. What do you think? --Peppo o'Paccio User Page (Talk / Contributions) 01:13, 29 December 2011 (PST)
