I'll try to be on tonight/tomorrow if I can get my router/modem issues straight. I haven't been able to keep a constant connection for longer than 15 minutes in the past 2 days.

Got this game yesterday, TF2 is awesome! I can see this game taking many hours from my free time.

I'm really diggin' the medic class right now. So if any one is looking for a support player look me up.

The real question is, "Is it better than Warhawk online?"

Yes!!!

I'll probably be around tonight and/or tomorrow night. Eager for some more games with actual "team" play, i.e. no randoms.

Re: Half-Life 2 Orange Box (360/PS3)

couple of quick questions....I got the game and when I used the spy, I chose the disguise option, which enemies class I wanted to choose, and then walked around...but whenever they saw me, they started shooting at me? Is their something that is tipping them off, or what?

And I forgot my other question...anyway thanks for the help...keep an eye out for me

People who have played a while will shoot a spy even if its on their team to be on the safe side. You can't kill your own team mate so I just shoot any spy coming near me.

But the spy doesn't look like a spy to the other team. He looks like whatever he chose to impersonate.

If you are getting shot up when disguised, then you arent blending in right. Might i suggest a quick medic shout to get the opposing team at least thinking you might be one of them. Another good one is to digsuise as heavy and call for that medic. If you are lucky one or two will heal you, instead of their teamates near you. Your friends will pick off the friends, and you arent taking noticable damage since you are a heavy and have a medic or two healing you.

also disguising as an engineer will sometimes allow you to infiltrate deeper into the base since engineers are normally the ones setting up turrents and teleporters near spawn and choke points.

Use your head! even if it means doing taunts or whatever to deflect doubts. and when all else fails, turn invisble and start shanking the bastards!

heres a few more hints from ign:

"There is no more interesting or complex class as the Spy. Though he's pretty much useless in direct combat, the Spy is a marvel to play. Using his disguise kit, the Spy can assume the identity of the opponent and will even have a mock user name to help fool the other side. The trick, however, is in learning how to assume the role properly. If you are pretending to be a Sniper, you'll want to find a perch and wait. Let the opponent be fooled into thinking you are actually a Sniper. Then, when no their backs are turned, pull out your knife and take them out.

The Spy's ultimate rouse is to fool an opposing Medic into healing him. Though you don't earn the powers or weapons of a class you're pretending to play, an opponents' medi-gun will still heal the Spy. You can even be turned invulnerable by the Medic. So if you play your role properly, you can trick a Medic into turning you invulnerable, then drop the disguise and gut everyone. When pulled off, it's a phenomenal sight.


It should be noted that your disguised Spy will appear, in every way, to be working for the opponent. As a Spy, any shots fired will look like shots from your assumed role. And if you hit a friend, though you won't actually do damage, it will appear to the enemy that you have. You don't have to worry about fooling your real friends, though. To your allies, the Spy looks like his regular self, but with a cardboard cut-out mask of his disguised role. And all the while he continues to smoke his thing cigarette. Brilliant."
