The tips noted under "Basic Strategy" do not comply with the TF2 Wiki style guide—they refer to commands that are specific to PC gamers, and therefore are of no help to console gamers. These commands also only work on qwerty keyboards which, despite their popularity, are not the only style in existence. [[User:GenericCola|GenericCola]] 07:40, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

He has more of a multilingual way of speaking, this factoïd origniated from the surprising fact that he says "Oh my god" where all the other translations make him say "mon dieu" in fact he also says "my friend" and "gracias" etc. But in the french dub he doesn't have an english accent at all, more like a slightly catalan accent which would coincide with his NECA figure which according to a Marc Alfos interview, is more or less what the dubbing team got as description for the characters.
  
I noticed the displayed pictures for all classes are for the RED version of each class, except the Spy. Is there any particular reason? [[User:Betenoire|Betenoire]] 14:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

== Spelling/Grammar note ==
 
 
 
When editing Spy pages, keep in mind that the weapon name is "L'Etranger", not "the L'Etranger". The L and apostrophe are a French equivalent of  "the". So, writing "the L'Etranger" is the same as writing "the the Etranger". Sorry for the nitpick, but being fluent in French, this is an error that often frustrates me. --[[User:Szthesquid|Szthesquid]] 19:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Achievements ==
 
i have been noticing alot about the spy pistols they all have the achievement 'A Cut Above' but it's not specific to any pistol the achievement works with any pistol at all and is not specific to a certain pistol
 
 
 
i have been getting messages from people saying "as long it has to do with the weapon its ok" and other people saying "it must be specific to that weapon to be counted" so what is the correct statement can someone clear that up for me?

== Knife ==
 
 
 
(Backstab: 450) The Knife deals more than 450 Dmg, it deals 6x of the enemys maximum healthpoints. This could be important, because Deadringer Spys sometimes can take more than 450 damage points. --[[User:Picard|Picard]] 08:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering, why were the revolvers listed as secondary weapons? cause in the loadouts, i see them as 1st: Revolver 2nd: Sapper 3rd: Knife PDA: spy watch. I get kind of confused like that. -[[User:weirdduder10|Weirdduder10]] 13:52:32, 14 October 2012
 
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
 
 
Regarding the current second to last trivia ("Before the Spy update..."): it ends with the statement '"As his voice lines are said in a calm collected manner, this gives him a split personality."' This seems rather like a stretch, but I'm new here and don't want to edit something out of existence based solely on my judgement (yet). Can someone else sound off on this or just jump in and delete it? Thanks. [[User:Scurve|Scurve]] 07:05, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
Also the Spy says "Gracias" in the French voice lines, implying that he has a Spainish accent, not an English one.[[User:Isaac Condon|Isaac Condon]] ([[User talk:Isaac Condon|talk]]) 13:43, 23 April 2014 (PDT)
 
 
 
== View Model Beta Color Scheme ==
 
''The Spy's view model sleeves still have beta color schemes. In addition, the number of stripes on his sleeve do not match the world model.''
 
 
 
Is the essentially saying the same thing?  Could it be rewritten as "The spy's view model sleeves are from the beta texture and do not match the color and stripe count of the world model" or something? [[User:CptObvious|CptObvious]] 08:10, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
Don't forget that the ingame hud still displays the original beta Spy's design [[User:Baron Royale|Baron Royale]]
 
 
 
== New Spy Picture ==
 
 
 
I noticed that the original picture of the Spy standing with the knife and smoking has been replaced with a Spy "taunting" and pulling up a sigarrette from his Spy-Kit.
 
Well, i dont mind a picture change but i expected a RED Spy and not a BLU again (:3).

==Kill Icons==
 
 
 
It may be repetitive, but each of the Spy melee weapons does have the backstab kill icon associated with it. Shouldn't that icon be represented in each of the boxes as opposed to just that of the Knife? Babygirl 22:51, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

== Spy's identity? ==
 
 
 
Is it possible that the Spy is actually Gray Mann?

[[User:Digifreek|Digifreek]] 09:54, 13 August 2012 (PDT)
 
:Well, he actually stabs them in the chest going from his relative position at the end of the comic, but speculation and this kind of discussion belongs on the [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/ Steam Forums] ^^ [[File:User Wingless Winged Signature.png|150px|link=User:Wingless]] 09:55, 13 August 2012 (PDT)
 
::If i had to say who would most likely be Gray Mann would be engineer's grandfather, or engineer. Because Engineer's grandfather had a blueprint that had a scout robot, which is confusing because scout was probably not even born at the time, And spy's well known phrase "Gentlemen" doesn't mean who ever says it is the spy. [[User:weirdduder10|Weirdduder10]] 13:02:31, 14 October 2012
 
:As the other pages of the wiki and the comics says, Grey Mann is the third child of Zepheniah Mann and is the third of the Mann Brothers. Assuming his relationship with the scout's mother, it is a possibility that he is his father, since the page regarding the scount's mother did not mention anything regarding her marriage.
