Team Fortress Classic Hints
How do the snipers know where I am?
1 of 6: Well, you have a few things against you.
2 of 6: First off, you are blue. The snipers are green and the bodyguards are red. This allows the snipers to quickly discern who to pick off as they track their sight along your path. Obviously, this works both ways, as the bodyguards can see you easily as well.
3 of 6: Second, since you can't fire a weapon of any kind, snipers can recognize you just because you are running away or just standing there, even if you are in the shadows and they can only make out your silhouette.
4 of 6: Third, the way you sound can also tip off waiting snipers.
5 of 6: Fourth, your silhouette is unique and is the only one with a distinct umbrella represented in it. When the snipers cannot see you clearly because you are hiding somewhere in the shadows, they will usually recognize you quickly by your umbrella and by your rather rotund physique. Try staying crouched to avoid this.
6 of 6: Finally, there are only 2, maybe 3 ways to get to the end of the level. You have to get through one of them to meet your objective. Hence, the snipers just have to set up near the right one, and they will find you no matter what you do.
