Revealing Spies:
----------------
There are several ways to reveal an enemy spy:
- Walking into a spy will make him translucent for a moment
- You can walk through teammates, but you can't walk through disguised enemy spies. 
  Attack the spy if you come across him, as all he can do run away.
- Igniting a cloaked enemy spy will set him on fire and distinguishes him with an 
  enemy coloured glow


Fast Weapon Switching:
----------------------
Go to Options, click the Keyboard tab and then Advanced to turn on Fast Weapon Switching. 
You can now scroll through the weapons without clicking to equip them.


Body parts:
----------------------
When a player is gibbed, the positions of the gibs (body parts) do not match where that
body part was prior to the gibbing. As well, some class gibs match their beta designs,
but not their final counterparts. This is most noticeable with the spy.


Spot a spy:
-----------
*The first one is if he's disguised as a medic. Yes, spies can be medic. But the ubercharge/
kritzkrieg percentage isn't showing under the name. So, if you have a medic without it near
you, don't hesitate, it's a spy.

*The second one is the fact that when disguised, the health shown is never in the red zone. 
If you see someone with health in the red, it's not a spy. If not, pay attention.

*The third tip is about the weapon shown. The spy is always showing the primary weapon. They
can't show melee or secondary weapons. So, if one of your teammates is showing any other 
weapon, you can be sure that it's not a spy. Here is the list of them:

- Scout: Scattergun
- Soldier: Rocket launcher
- Heavy: Minigun
- Demoman: Grenades launcher
- Engineer: Shotgun
- Medic: Syringues launcher
- Spy: Handgun
- Sniper: Sniper rifle
- Pyro: Flamethrower

In the same idea, a spy can't shoot or he'll loose his cover. If a teammate seems not to be 
shooting, it could be a spy.

* The fourth one can happen: if a teammate is voice chatting at the moment you see him
  without the ? sign indicating it, it's a spy.

* The fifth one can only be working if a teammate is dead. If you know that he just got
  killed but see him running near you, well, it's a spy. Or if he's calling medic while
  the real one is dead.

* The sixth one is useful for medic with the upgraded syringues gun. Shoot some syringues
  on teammates. If one of them is showing the crosses indicating that you're hitting an 
  enemy, well..., it's a spy.

* The seventh is if you cross the path of a newbie spy. If you see a blue ball or a red
  ball near dispensers, it's a cloaked spy. It can also be a teammate of yours, so tell
  him not to cloaked near dispensers or he'll be busted.


Stickies:
---------
If you play demoman on a map with capture points, don't forget to put stickies on it. If an 
enemy walks on it, you can explode him with your stickies. But don't be dead at that time 
because your bombs will be destroyed if you're killed. You can also do high jumps with your 
stickies: jump on it and explode it. It will cost life but it can buy time for you or for 
reaching places that only a soldier or a demoman can (like the roof on Gravelpit, capture 
point B). Don't forget that stickies are more efficient for destroying buildings than your 
normal grenades. It can be devastating if you're ubered.


Airblast:
---------
The pyro can airblast people or rockets/stickies/grenades by right-clicking when equipped 
with the normal flamethrower. It doesn't work with the backburner. It can be useful for throw
back an ubered pair going to your sentries or going to spawn point. Usually, the enemies are 
disoriented by being airblasted and aren't reacting quickly to kill the pyro, mainly if it's
a demoman aiming for sentries. Also, you can throw away stickies that are near your spawn 
points, on capture points or on cart for example. It's also a way to reach faster the Hot 
Potato achievement - several players think that the achievement can be only reached by 
airblasting soldier's rockets but it's more easy with stickies on the ground than a moving
rocket when you're not used to airblasting.
The cost of it is 25 ammo, so, airblast only when it's helpful or else, you'll be quickly 
forced to take ammo pack or to retreat to the nearest dispenser.


What can prevent an uber to do:
-------------------------------
Also, when ubered, you can't push the cart or take a control point. So, if for the capture
point, it's not a vital matter, for the cart, it is. Don't stick with your partner that 
you've ubered near the cart, it will be a waste of time.


What a medic never had to do if he must uber:
---------------------------------------------
Also, never take intel if you want to uber. Indeed, you can't deploy it with intel on your
back. And if you try to uber a teammate with intel on his back, you'll be the only one to 
be ubered. Intel is preventing any players to receive the previous charge.

your back. If you try to uber a teammate with intel on his back, you will be the only 
one to become uber.
