Ever heard of TF2 Espionage: A Guide to Playing Spy
I made that series a long time ago when I still loved the game. And I don’t think it’s the tutorial and the work I put into it that killed the fun it had, the game just changed WAY too much. So many things that simply did not need to exist, kinda wished I delved more into 6s when I had the chance.
Highlander Spy isn’t bad, but certain classes just aren’t meant to be ran all the time. Spy being one of them, without enough combat ability on his own to use when he gets caught, he’s pretty much only a melee class. And that does not work, because the backstab is way to situational. Against good players all the right circumstances need to be lined up for him to be useful.
Glad to see Phantom isn’t like that, he seems to be more of Solid Snake kind of a guy, or even William Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein New Order. He can be very stealthy or a definite commando depending on the situation, he’s adaptable. That’s exactly what the Spy seemed to lack most of the time in higher level play.
