ok, so it wasn't an official report from Steam, or anything, but an enemy Spy accused me of cheating because I kept shooting him. It was a sort of like "how did you know?"

It's pretty god damned easy to tell a spy out when he's the only red team member running along with a load of blu. Or when he's trying to get up real close to the back of one of your team.

Two hints for playing the Spy:

1 - Don't be a Spy at the start of the game, it's really easy to see one blu guy running with a pack of red. Wait until the game's gone on a bit, and when the teams have dispersed it's harder to tell who's who.

2 - Don't try and get a backstab kill when your target is in amongst a load of his team, it's so fucking obvious. Only kill when someone's on their own, preferably a busy Sniper.

Anyways, I always thought of the Spy class as the class that you play on pick-up objectives type games (like the enemy intelligence one), and you should try and keep kills to a minimum. Either that, or when the opposing team is full of Snipers. The Spy is the anti-Sniper (and I say that as a player that always plays Sniper, and has a Spy at 0.1 hours).

There are bad losers at every online game, especially shooters.

One time in Counter-Strike, some people were so angry that I was difficult to take out that they not only accused me of cheating (....like every 5 seconds), but they also started to talk shit about America. These guys were fuming, lol.

It can be pretty fun to be a spy at times. The tweak to the crouching mechanic is annoying though because I really hate how engineers can put a dispenser at the top of the spiral staircase at 2fort in a way that you can't crouch jump over it. It's also annoying how it's like whenever a Pyro randomly shoots a small blast of flame, it's ALWAYS where you're at.....

I usually don't bother with capturing the intelligence unless there's enough backup since I'd rather use the basement as a momentary safe haven to recharge my invisibility or heal up rather than send the whole team after me. I'd say it's much more fun to harass the other team than in both offensive and defensive situations rather than to focus on capturing the objective.

One time, the enemy team had like 4-5 engineers and I was literally able to go from dispenser to dispenser without ever having to worry about losing my invisibility.
