Howdy kids. I've recently been dabbling extensively with the Spy class and I must admit that I do enjoy his sneaky ways. I do have a beef with it however and with the constantly changing world of TF2 there is an update to his arsenal that I would like to see. And that is a Face Stab Basically the idea behind this came from getting into mano a mano, toe to toe melee situations by accident and getting butchered. If I come running round a corner and an enemy Engineer bangs into me, I'd like the Spy to have a move that up close can be initiated that will instantly kill cause quite frankly in that situation you'd be as well slapping your walloper off their sides as the Spy is weak. Obviously there would have to be a penalty for the move. Maybe it would only work against weaker classes such as the Engineer and the Medic. Or maybe it would take longer to execute so if you do it with other enemies around, they're bound to fuck you up So tell me what you think. Or don't. I'd rather you would though |

Don't know, it sounds overpowering.. However, I personally find the survivability of the spy lacking compared to other classes. Since every guy and his dog, shoots his own team to check for spies. Hell throw in 1 pyro and your chances of actually getting more then 1 kill are drastically reduced. In my opinion spy is the most difficult and frustrating class to play, but sometimes you pull off a chain kill of 5 people in a row and its nice... I might just suck as a spy, but I feel he really has problems with survivability and points scoring. If it wasn't for me playing medic quite a bit, my kills/deaths would shown an even wider spread... but not thanks to the spy.. Think its the only class I really have trouble with scoring more then 2-3 kills before dieing |

There already is a face stab. Sure, its a bug, but spies can still get a "backstab" kill from the front on occasion. As for that idea, I say nay. It would make them too powerful, and defeat the purpose of being stelf. |

I don't think the face stab is a good idea. The spy is indeed a hard class to play, specially in tight enemy terrotory, but I think he is balanced enough, otherwise it would be really frustrating to always be killed by the spy, and never knowing where he is. I also think the spy is balanced quite enough, since his score in my opinion is not scoring points by simple backstabbing, his role is to make sure there is some chaos in the defending/attacking theme, before you strike, rather then scoring points. |
