Spy
Weapons: 1.) Knife - a silent weapon. The most deadly weapon in
your arsenal if you know how to utilize it correctly.
Sneak up behind enemies and stab them in the back.
It doesn't matter if they have a high armor level, the
knife just slices right through. Two hits can kill
a HWguy or a soldier. One stab would turn a scout into
tiny giblets. Keep in mind that, like every other
weapon in your arsenal, you'll lose your disguise when
you use it, so after you use it in an enemy base, hide
and redisguise yourself.
2.) Tranquilizer gun - not the most deadliest weapon in
your arsenal, but it does have its impact on enemy
forces. If you tranq an enemy, they will slow down and
their movements will be sluggish. Tranq every enemy
coming into your base to make them more vulnerable to
attacks.
3.) SuperShotgun - the double-barreled big brother
of the shotgun
4.) Nailgun - automatic Quake-ish nailgun
Grenades: 1.) Hand-grenade - standard frag. grenade
2.) Hallucinogenic grenade - speaks its name. When thrown,
it expels mind-altering gases, causing the affected
player to hallucinate. By hallucinate, I mean that
the player sees enemies that are not there, they
here gunshots coming from nowhere, and so on. Great
tool for breaking up the ranks off an enemy assault
force.

Comments:
Your primary job as a spy is to infiltrate the base and bring back
intelligence on the enemy forces there. Locations of sentryguns,
enemy positions, and the like should be reported to back to your
team. To do this, press your special ability key to bring up the
disguise menu. You can change your skin, your color, and feign death.
NEVER change color inside your base, since it tends to
screw up your friends and because you're the opposite team's color,
your friends will tend to fire at you as if you were a member of the
opposite team. This wastes your friend's ammo and wastes your armor.
Always change to the opposite team outside your base. Be sure to warn
your teammates that a spy is on duty inside the enemy base. Never go the main way into the enemy base, because this usually attracts enemy suspicion. Find some secondary entrance into the base. Be warned that when you fire a weapon when you are disguised, you'll lose your disguise, so don't fire in front of enemies when you are disguised as one of them. Don't go after the flag, unless the enemy flag is totally unattended, because you'll lose your disguise, and your low armor rating make you easy prey to HWguys and the like. You won't lose your disguise when you throw grenades though, so this makes are the ultimate anti-sentrygun person, because sentryguns cannot tell if you are its enemy if you are disguised as its friends, even when you throw some grenades at it, so throw some grenades when no ones looking and tell your friends to attack now that the sentrygun is destroyed. Feign death when no ones around, and if an enemy passes you, get back up and knife him in the back. Don't look around when you are "dead" though, because then you move your body around, and enemies will get suspicious in a trigger-happy kind of way when they see a dead body moving around. A last ditch effort is when an enemy is firing at you and you feing death to trick him. This doesn't work frequently, and anyone
except for the worse newbie will see through that trick.
Avoid enemy scouts and spies, as they will remove your disguise
when they touch you, but don't look like you're avoiding them.
