Team Fortress Classic Hints
How should I infiltrate the enemy base?
1 of 8: Start out by disguising yourself as an enemy defense class (i.e., HWGuy or engineer).
2 of 8: Do not change colors yet, until you get out of your base.
3 of 8: Then, en route to the enemy base, change colors and perhaps even change disguises again if you have time.
4 of 8: Once inside, survey the area for sentry guns and take them out first. Make sure no one is watching.
5 of 8: Feign death if you have to to avoid any suspicious enemies.
6 of 8: If you are heading for the flag room, change skins to a normal defensive unit like a HWGuy, a medic or an engineer. Then make like you are doing something defensive. If you are an HWGuy, for example, act like you are surveying the area by looking around and running around to get better angles. If you are lucky you may convince the enemy that you are on defense and he might just leave, confident that the flag is secure. Once he's gone, take the flag.
7 of 8: Once the area is relatively secure, head for the flag or feign death in the flag room until the flag returns.
8 of 8: If you don't feel like waiting, stab some snipers in the back. Since the snipers are often staring through their scopes, it should be no trouble to sneak up behind them and surprise them.
