I am going to purchase this game soon. I have (as I usually prefer to do) answered most of the questions myself through research. But I still have one that I feel could possibly be answered on this forum. Can cloaked and/or disguised spies be heard? Do their footsteps when walking or running make noise? Or is there no way to know when they walk through a door other than spraying the entrance with attacks?

you can't really hear footsteps besides your own. This isn't a realistic game.

If you can concentrate past the gunfire, than yes, the Spies can be heard (un)cloaking and walking.

And if you can't go through a "teammate" they're Spies.

Spy is hard to play, but at the same time most people aren't very aware of their surroundings in this game. How good you can do as a spy totally depends on the enemy team, how well they communicate, and how unaware they are.

Well, I'll be sure to try out and enjoy every class, but I believe the Sniper will be my favorite. I was just asking out of curiosity.

I'm pretty sure you can hear footsteps if there isn't any other louder noises. Since there's a battle going on, you shouldn't be able to hear any footsteps.

You can see invisible spies because they turn a translucent color of the team they're on.

Only if they're on your team. Enemy spies are completely invisible, unless someone runs into them or they get shot, in which case they'll flicker for a second.
