Howdy y'all.

I'm fairly new to the Versus option for SC:CT on Live, but I've played the solo and coop missions fairly extensively.

I need some advice and help for the versus option however. I'm having trouble adapting to the play style. What is some advice/pointers y'all could give me about getting better as a spy and as a merc. Right now I currently play Aquarius and The Club and The Mall [from Pandora Tomorrow] maps the most.

Thanks for all your thoughts .

Even though I play on PC, here are some pointers.

1.Read Spekkio's noob guide. It is Here
2.Be stealthy. It is always better to never be seen by a merc than take them head on. But if you have to go aggro, try and shock them, drop a smoke, and run. It is hard to get a kill as spy when the merc suspects your there.
3.Get a partner. Just do it. You'll be 10 times better if you have a regular partner.
4.Don't be predictable. If you would be in some place as a merc, don't be there as a spy.
5.Be quick. You only have 10 min to hack all of the objectives, so hurry.

As for merc.
1.If you would do something as a spy, do it as a merc.
2.Pick a gun that suits you best. If you like sniping, take the sniper. If you like fast guns that kill at mid-range, take the uzi. If you like shortrange combat, well, don't really take the shotty, you will miss every spy that is past the 10ft. range of the gun.
3. Be tricky. Place mines where spies are going to go by uncautious, maybe out in the open.
4.Gas masks are your friend. Almost every spy takes a smoke nade, so they help.
5. Don't chase the spies forever. They have to hack and if you chase them away from the objective, let them go. They are faster than you and can go places you cant. It also could be a set-up.

So, do all of that and espically read spekkio's noob guide, you will learn alot.

as a uber 1337 xbox player and getting 7000 points for squad with jus me and my parnter(with out glitching or cheating) the best thing is to bring Heart Beat so you know where the merc is and u can posion ur self acordingly also Also learn how to do wat i call tactical sticky cams where u u can sticky mercs when they r near u what i mean by that is lets say u see a merc on ur HB(heart beat) and he is coming around the corner u time out ur sticky to sticky him where u cant see u and he doesnt see it coming it takes a lot of practice also i dont recomend smoke jus bring flash to get a away much more effective if u know what ur doing. Also if u see a merc and u cant sticky him, shock him and run away try to always have a getway plan if a merc comes strolling by. like go in a vent or something. If u want some more info my gamertag is PointedCow i dont have a mic (to cheaP) soo ill jus play with u in rank or something u can jus get the feel of wat to do..
