    there are some fringe cases, like equalizer, kgb/gru, ubersaw/vitasaw

    Basic Spy isn't bad, but C&D and DR make them much better at engie-fucking and medic-diving respectively.

    as much as I like all the new weapons and the different styles of play attributed with them, it'll be nice to see some classic TF2 for only a day.

    P.S I cant wait to get the Iron Curtain for the Heavy,

    You find an engineer you hate, stand by his gear until he moves 6 seconds or more away, then sap and laugh.

    It's fun to bait engineers. Sap their shit, run in their direction (cloaked), then stalk and stab them as they try to make it their buildings or remove the sappers. Or stab them right after they pick up a building to move it.

    For those that are in full turtle mode you can bodysnatch someone for a disguise then sneak to the engineer and jump on their head. Crouch, uncloak (no noise for Saharan Spies), and stab them in the head.

    C&D is for bad spies who think getting on kill every 10 minutes is somehow useful.

    Or they're just being cocks and specifically targeting one person.

    C&D is great for camping enemy tele entrances, and harassing the engineer.

    That being a practical use of time, however, is very rare.

    Finally got my Saxton Hale mask, just in time :P Hopefully the Cleaver is still craftable after the event is over - I just lack the refined metal to make it.

    I'm just lacking the refined metal right now :( I tend to have bad luck getting items randomly for some reason (though I don't play the game a crazy amount either)

    I figured he was talking about something else. I couldn't think of the actual name of the Headtaker off-hand so I said Cleaver :)

    I'm not in the camp that thinks the C&D is useless, but generally speaking the amount of time you can spend under cloak isn't the major limiter on a Spy's lifespan, it's the Poisson Distribution that is the amount of time it takes for a backstab to whiff, an enemy to decide to look somewhere irrational, or for a Pyro to simply walk by.

    For the C&D to really help you (keeping you cloaked even in situations where you'd normally be uncloaked), you have to always have it on, meaning you're going to be moving really slowly. Maybe give it a 50% ammo pickup rate rather than none at all, and it'd see more worthy use.
