Author Topic: New Spy Cloaks For TF2 Are suck  (Read 2414 times)

I think the new spy cloaks aren't really that good at all.
The Dead Ringer:It doesent make you cloaked till your shot,And you only have like 2 seconds to be cloaked.
The Motion Senser Wacth:It takes forever for it to charge up.And its not all that great.
I wish they would make a new sapper,Which took forever to put on,But eliminates the sentry in 2 seconds.
What do you think about the cloaks?

Kid, you are handicapped.  The dead ringer isn't supposed to cloak you for hours, just long enough to get you away from the people trying to kill you.  It's meant to make people think they killed you.

Plus the Cloak and Dagger is for tactical use, not running around like an idiot. Use your brain and you'll be able to use the items.

i was on a point and a pyro was coming after me so i cloaked, the pyro was just running in circles trying to hit me while i was nowhere near and watching :D

Gentlemen.

The Dead Ringer is amazing.

If you use it right, you can do amazing stuff.

Guide to proper use.

My favorite thing to do is at 2:20 in the video.

Love the cloak and dagger, but it requires much more patience.

Haven't got the dead ringer yet =(.

I do have a spare huntsmen though for when trades comes out and a backburner (ugh)

with the dead ringer you are cloaked for 8 seconds, in that time you run away. the point to the dead ringer is to make people think they killed you, you get shot, death message comes up, you get away.

Cloak and dager is really good. I like to sneak to the sniper area (every map has at least one it seems) and stay cloaked till there are at least two snipers who stand still for long enough to be easy targets. I also won at least three arena nucleus by sneaking to the point as soon as it became accesable and wating till their whole team shows up and looks away. I didn't know the dead ringer put out fire like that. I may use it sometimes now.

The dead ringer, because you can't cloak yourself anyway equipping it, is supposed to get you out of the way of pyros, so they think you're dead. Of course pyros kinda defeat its purpose since they will just flame all around your body.

And Cloak and Dagger is actually probably the best. I can't see how you hate it. Almost 95% of the time before the update I was always in need of some sort of recharge, but I couldn't get a recharge without the enemy noticing or having to uncloak and get myself killed.

I think C&D needs a slight buff-- nothing major, maybe something like
-Cloaks flames
So if you are on fire, they don't reveal your position, but you still take the damage and etc.

Nah, I think it just needs more regenerating and less taking energy. I have to stop every 5 feet to recharge it, even with a full bar :/
