The Spy

		Friend or foe, look around your team, anyone of them could be a spy. The spy is a very difficult class to play, it's all about biding your time, stealth and blending in. The spy has the ability to disguise himself as any of the opposing teams classes to become the unseen assassin. His deadly butterfly knife backstab ability will result in an instant kill if you give a spy the chance to sneak up on you. Once he has attacked however, the disguise will be lost so keep alert. The spy also possesses a revolver for tricky situations and an energy sapper which is attached to engineer's buildings. These will deactivate and slowly destroy the building unless the engineer knocks off the device with his wrench. Lastly, the spy has a cloak ability for a short period which can be used to get behind enemy lines, decloak and blend in with your disguise. Be careful to hide away while decloaking.

Ideal for snipers using the razorback. Special 1: Cloak and Dagger An alternate cloaking watch which provides infinite cloak while the spy stands still. Special 2: Dead Ringer Another alternative to the invisibility watch. When the dead ringer is held (with alternate fire), any damage taken will show the spy dying (ragdolling to the ground) and a death message. However the spy takes very little damage, and automatically cloaks for 6.5 seconds. In this time the spy can move to another location while the attacker believes the spy is dead. Upon decloaking the dead ringer creates a loud cracking noise. It's cloaking energy can be regenerated with metal.
