I just thought about the knife and meh, it might not be so good.  Not exactly our spy's style.  I was thinking along the lines of 3rd echelon, which is the company fisher works for.  Shadownet on the other hand is more of a nonlethal group I guess.

This is what I'm talking about.  All you had to do was think about your idea a little more thoroughly and you most likely would have come to the conclusion above.  Well, maybe not, it took a newcomer to point out your idea's flaw.

Lol being a newcomer makes it a much bigger deal right?  ::)  For all we know he could study the way Shadownet works and operates.  He wasn't even the one that convinced me.  And I only threw it out there because I thought people might like it and that new moves are needed to replace other ones from previous games.  It still seems like reasonable solution to me, and I'm sure to some others as well, but if we want to keep the spies a little more non-lethal it's not a great idea.  Not sure where the devs want to go with this.  I know for certain that they need features that replace old features with different names etc...

Any devs want to give any input on how brutal you think spies should be?  If you want brutality, knife kills replacing the neck grab would be a great way to go.  If you want a more sophisticated spy then you'll need to give him some sort of complex, but simple, method of killing mercs while grabbed.  Like the neck smash, for instance, it looks simple but it's actually some precise placement of the arms.  It's quick, to the point, and gives spies a little more trained feeling and not a brutal feeling.  You know what i mean?

I have a better idea. Choking to death by pulling the Merc's undies over his head. Think "The Mask". C'mon, it's a HUMILIATION move. So it pwns.

Nice.  How about a choke cord?  Too brutal?  Too hitman?  Yeah.  lol

It has to be some sort of hand combat kill.  I'll look for a good neck smash vid.

How about he sticks a huge syringe into the mercs mouth and suck out his brain? Fuck, that would have ME scared of being caught by a spy o.O
