I actually really like swiftwater, because the first point's sewer flank route is pretty easy to abuse at first, and provides an easy route to the enemy's snipers or engineers. And once the first point is capped, you can use the doors to easily avoid the chokes you had so much trouble with and get easy drop stabs on unsuspecting players.

if the enemy team goes all pyros just to counter one spy, then your team gets a MASSIVE advantage. Sniper, soldier, demo, heavy, scout, medic, sometimes engineer are all generally better than pyro. If the pyros are on offense, you could literally just have a few engineers and enjoy your free win.

One fun fact about Spy on Goldrush First: if you stand in a specific corner near the final point on defense ( the one behind the wall with a large health pack ) then you can block the cart from moving through the wall without being on the cart. I use this trick a lot as spy with the box taunt to blend in so people have no idea why the cart is stopped. It can help your team hold off for longer, but most of the time it just is fun to mess with the enemy team. I guess you could also use it on attacking to push the cart a little bit forward while behind complete cover, but its not really useful. really does make playing as Spy on Goldrush fun though.

Thank you for reminding me that Enclosure exists. I've never loved 3-stage Payload in general, but the last couple times I've gone there I've actually really enjoyed it. Oh, and Bread Space is another one I forget a lot, though I stopped playing there because it crashed my game a ton so maybe it's better that way lol This is a pretty interesting list! I can tell how different approaches to a Spy playstyle will result in big changes to what goes where. Except for Hoodoo, that'll always be trash. But for me, I definitely like Pier a lot more than Barnblitz (as the latter gets hard carried by the penultimate point, which usually goes by super quickly anyways), and Frontier has always left a terrible taste in my mouth because of its last point. But fun video, I really like this type of thing, so I'm excited to see more for the other game modes!

Pier is one of my favourite spy maps, mainly cause of all the different paths a spy can take to get behind the enemy, especially on attacking, like how infront of blue spawn is that side beach area, and the under canals area, the wine cellar, the side beaches on third heading into the building, the sewers, and, as Hint mentioned, that side stairwell flank on last.

Turbine is actually a pretty good trolldier map, nice high ceiling in mid with plenty of cover and places to retreat if caught out like the upper balcony, the shipping containers are great for pogoing across the field and even the corridors have a ceiling high enough and wide enough without any obtrusive mapping elements to get in the way that you can still market garden people through the halls to the intel pretty consistently.

I see myself always queueing myself for the pretty fun and amazing maps, as they let me play my game and confuse the enemy. What I mean is that once the enemy realises I exist and that i am very annoying, I begin playing my cards. Before the enemy begins to enhance their spy paranoia, I pick 3-5 vital OR not so good players within the enemy and see how they act, disguise as them when they are dead and sly around and see who i can kill. Yes, this seems like a weird tactic, but it works so well when you play the correct cards at the correct time. Nobody really cares who is dead most of the time, so this works very well. Those maps are the reason why I like playing spy as it lets me play spy how I like, pick certain players, and change my style if needed. This video gave me more info on what I can do and what weird and insane thing I can accomplish. Thank you for this video! Out of context note: I heard the beautiful Pizza Tower OST Music, Have you played pizza tower if you have and/or if you have not but seen gameplay. What do you think of Pizza Tower?

Great video hintshot! Really fun to see an up and coming spy main making unique content like this. If I could make one note though, on upward last there's a single staircase that allows spies to get up to the upper area at red spawn, and if a clever engineer places their dispenser right at the top of the stairs, a spy cannot get up there without destroying it, which alerts the engi that a spy is coming. I think it would have note worthy to mention.

The best way to handle Barnblitz last is to equip l’etranger and stock watch and just steal the large ammo pack in the middle of the room.
