Okay so really im a good spy but theres one question i got for you guys. Well it seems that theres been something lately that has been driving me crazy which is a medic and a heavy are together healing and if a backstab the medic the heavy will get suspicious and look that a killed the love of his life and now i hear the dreadful sound of the his sasha and the horrible sight of him pointing the gun at my face which resorts in instant death! If anyone knows a good tip or strategy i would really appreciate it

Are you going though the full backstab animation? If you're using the short one, you should be able to get two stabs in quickly on each of them.

There are two ways to handle it. First, accept that against good opponents you can usually either get the medic OR the HW, but not both.

If you decide to kill the medic, you should wait until the heavy's unreved. Jump in, slash the medic and then cloak and get around a corner. The HW can't catch you. Come back later to kill him.

If you decide to kill the HW, I like to wait until he's reved. Then, jump in, take him out and switch to revolver. Get the hell out of there, because the medic's gonna be blutsaughering you - but you can get one or two revolver hits in there as you escape.

It's actually very easy for anyone to tell if there is a Spy lurking around--or immediately behind them.

I always pay attention to the Kill Log, if I see a backstab on one of my teammates, I become aware of your presence.

You can also hear the distinct cries of each class as they are backstabbed. The Medic's is peculiar and especially loud and high pitched, if I ever hear it it's time to turn around and shove some lead in the Spy's face.

Truth is, people will get smarter and you will no longer be able to chain backstabs since people will notice you in different ways. Focus on priority targets--killing just one of the heavy/medic combo cripples their effectiveness. If you were to cloak and run back to a nice empty room, wait for your cloak to recharge, and go out to poke someone else it will be much more worthwhile than being greedy and trying to go for the other guy as well.

You can always just poke the Heavy and then Revolver the medic before he gets away. If you're a good shot it may be easier than you think.

Stab the heavy and gun the medic down. Sure, the blut is frustrating, but it will probably not save him if you got good aim with the gun.

Get good enough with the revolver that you can stab the heavy and then take down the Medic with your gun. It will be tricky, but is the safest bet (and still leaves you a good chance of escape, as most good medics won't chase a Spy when their patient has been stabbed, it's far too risky)
