“A video I put together consisting of demos I recorded before the scout update which were broken and only recently fixed them, enjoy.”
I enjoyed some of it, but i feel you can only see so many overhead stabs or whatever you call it until it just gets too repetitive. Though, i must say the airshot sure was unexpected from a spy player. :p gj :)
I think a lot of it is better appreciated if you’re a spy player, it’s the same reason you liked the air-shot because you can relate to it (I assume). Otherwise, all frag videos are repetitive unless they’re under 4 minutes, full of smoothing and most important, well edited. Thanks for the reply. :)
I’m a large spy player, and I did get bored after the first couple of minutes. Spy is extremely difficult to create frag movies for, as it just now seems to be packed with stairstabs and such. I can appreciate a lot of the skill, but it just isn’t interesting after a while.
Indeed, quite boring, mostly because its only pub games (pl_badwater ffs…). Nice effort tho, we don’t see lots of spy movies.
@Inexistence : YEAH WE NOTICED YOU’RE A BIG SPY PLAYER :O
nah, this doesnt work :P
@gEEk
Yeah, I spent like the first 150 hours of TF2 as spy. The rest kinda just accumulated after playing a lot of public. Very fun class.
Also a large spy player, and again sorry to say but yea i agree with inx on this one. After the first few mins i got a little bored. The frags are good, and what you are doing are good. But as the thing with spy frag vids they are hard to make interesting.
I think it actually will depend on what part of spy people enjoy, to weather they like the vid or not. Myself I prefer the physiological part of spy more than anything, such as annoying engis (ie stopping them building, distracting with tele saps, just being that pain in the ass spy :D) or picking on the key players that are causing the team trouble so they can’t do there job as effectivly. On top of that then escaping from 5 players spamming like mad after you have done a stab on a medic. The thrill of all this is hard to capture in a frag vid. I myself find stuff like staying alive a whole round AND getting a MVP more impressive then all this overhead/stair stab stuff cus at the end of the day, it just won’t work against players who have half a brain. But techniques like waiting for distractions, stalking and leaping stabs have a far higher success rate, they just may not look as good but get the job done.
In short, very nice stabs, but this vid just does not do it for me.
