Major Article Revision

I have reorganized the sections, added a new section, and added a picture to the article. Any comments to the changes? Anything that should be added or removed? ----- Davtwan 03:17, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Moving the section was a good idea, nevertheless your new section was moved to Spy Strategies because it was correct but didn't belonged here, and I really don't see the use of the picture, it's not really that useful, and I don't think it's well done (but that's a minor thing in comparaison). I don't understand your point in wanting at all cost to change this well done article? It doesn't need major revision, not even minor, it's a good one, why change it?

Stabs while taunting

It has come to my attention that backstabbing a player who is taunting will not work. I've done extensive testing to make sure this is true. However, I've been told not to add it to the article until it is "confirmed". I'll leave it in the discussion so that whenever it is confirmed (if someone could explain the difference between confirmed and proved, that would be appreciated) that it can be added to the article.

Not sure what you mean. I've been backstabbed many times while eating my sandvich or taunting as the sniper? Moussekateer 20:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
oops, maybe it only happens with certain taunts. i only tried it with one taunt for every character; i guess "extensive testing" should probably include every single taunt in the game. either way, certain taunts prevent backstabbing. try it with heavys minigun taunt, for instance. This is probably something that should be written on the pages of specific taunts that prevent backstabbing, not on this page. Sorry! I ought to make sure of things before making statements like this >.< Mewizkuit 20:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible that rotating your view while taunting changes where a Spy has to backstab you from? For example, if you turn the camera to look at your face (180 degrees), does that cause backstabs to only register from the front (since you're now "looking" the other way, even though the model suggests otherwise)?
