Engineer is the weakest for me, followed by Heavy (though it's not so much Heavy's fault, as it started as an animation test for Source and got spun into a neat little promo video). Then Demoman, then Scout.

From there the Big Four are (from amazing best to great best) are Spy, then Medic, then Pyro, then Sniper.

What about Meet the Soldier...?

Scout's easily the weakest IMO. Everything thereafter is gold. Might still like Meet the Sniper best for sticking with the interview format (the three after didn't - well, Meet the Pyro here kind of does, but still) while being so awesome that it made me take interest in a class I had previously cared not one iota to try.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

There's more to come:

oh thats cool i guess. still couldve done a little more than a hat for a show that's a couple years past relevancy

 

[kittens]

SO GOOD!

 

[Mulberry]

Worth the wait.

 

[funkystudent]

I am disappointed.


I guess now they have done everyone in TF2 they will start making Meet the __ videos for DOTA2?


I wonder what the future holds for TF2 promotional videos.

did a pyro gif:

can't unsee the flames tilting in his goggles when he cocks his head.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Meh. It was a single joke for two minutes.

I congratulate Valve for finally finishing this series, though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Meh. It was a single joke for two minutes.

I congratulate Valve for finally finishing this series, though.

All of the vids are single jokes for 2 mins.

Well that's some unfortunate timing. A couple posts on my Facebook feed about the Meet The Pyro video are right above some pictures someone posted of the Colorado wildfires D:

Oh right, Soldier.

In that case:

1) Spy
2) Medic
3) Soldier
4) Pyro
5) Sniper
6) Scout
7) Demoman
8) Heavy
9) Engineer

Meet the sandvich is waaaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom.

I actually still like the very first meet the heavy one. More than scout certainly.

 

[Kinyou]

So that was the final team member right?

Now they can release Team Fortress 3

 

[ColtraineGF]

Although, I can't help but wonder where they can go next, video-wise.

We'll probably see Valve hosting the best fanmade videos in the future.

In any case, we should be seeing much more high-quality machinima in the future, which is always good.

Sandvich still had the "punched out all my blood" line so it can't be that bad.


Anyway:

Meet the Pyro prints.

 

[Tacitus_]

Oww my fucking stomach is cramping from laughter :lol :lol :lol

Goddamn what a piece :lol

Ah yeah, forgot about the sandvich. It didn´t get a single laugh out of me.

 

[Beelzeboss]

that was really freaking dumb

dammit valve way to go out with a whimper.

 

[Rapstah]

I thought the movie was obviously pointing at the Pyro is John Lennon theory. Right age to be a team member in 1968, crazy LSD land with organic brass trumpets and Beatles music playing...

 

[EatinOlives]

Video was great. Not sure why people expected them to reveal who he/she/it was, that's the whole point of the character.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Valve is the new pixar.

 

[Salsa]

Fuckin loved it. That shot of the Spy talking about him while watching his lit cigar is wonderful.

 

[Amagon]

Funny video

 

[Hiltz]

Pyro is truly a psycho.

 

[Salsa]

also so glad they delivered with source filmmaker now that they're all done. Signed up.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

Pyro vision:

 

[Ultimadrago]

Bwahaha

 

[BassForever]

That wasn't at all what I was expecting, but at the same time it probably is what I should have expected. Amazing and horrifying at the same time, well done Valve

 

[EatinOlives]

Pyro vision:

http://i.minus.com/ib0N2kdrVJjwSC.gif

Pyro is a Krusty's Clown College grad confirmed.

 

[Visualante2]

that was really freaking dumb

dammit valve way to go out with a whimper.

The whole game is a whimper at this point. Might as well go all out.

also so glad they delivered with source filmmaker now that they're all done. Signed up.

Hopefully they make it easy to get assets and characters into the system to make your own things. That's where it could really go beyond high end machinima and into "we just made Maya irrelevant to a lot of people"

 

[King Of Fuh]

Meh. It was a single joke for two minutes.

I congratulate Valve for finally finishing this series, though.

It's a serious problem if people can't appreciate a joke for 2 minutes. Make that 1:30 after the intro..


This was hilarious and brilliant, and I am baffled at all the "mehs" in this thread. What people must have been expecting is beyond me.

 

[demosthenes]

that was really freaking dumb

dammit valve way to go out with a whimper.

Glad to see that you're in the extreme minority.

 

[Brother Sport]

Never imagined in 2007 that it would take this long, but fuck me - that's amazing.

 

[Thoraxes]

Haha, I love how they shattered anything I was expecting to happen, which in turn made me laugh about 10 times harder because of how funny this was.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

Yeah I wanted a gender reveal. But its not surprising. Meet the Medic or Spy are BY FAR the best ones though.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

that was really freaking fantastic

dammit valve way to go out with a fucking awesome thing.

Agreed!

 

[Chavelo]

Totally not what I expected.

Which made the surprise 10 times better.

Valve are on the streak of awesome.

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

I am still reeling in laughter from the sudden explosiveness of the serious tone, to rainbow land...lol!

 

[Thoraxes]

I wonder if the writing has always been on the pyro's mask...

 

[Rapstah]

I wonder if the writing has always been on the pyro's mask...

Yes. I specifically remember people using that as an example of why "mat_picmip 10" was better than Ultra High texture settings back in 2007.

 

[Riggs]

Is it to late for me to get into TF2? I've owned it since it came out and only played like 3x.

 

[Thoraxes]

Yes. I specifically remember people using that as an example of why "mat_picmip 10" was better than Ultra High texture settings back in 2007.

Oh wow, crazy.

Is it to late for me to get into TF2? I've owned it since it came out and only played like 3x.

No; any time is a good time to get into TF2.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

did a pyro gif:

behold, the sloppiest gif i've ever made

 

[Sciz]

No wonder they released so many teaser images.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Is it to late for me to get into TF2? I've owned it since it came out and only played like 3x.

nope. easy to get into, best community.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I didn't sign up for this.

 

[M*A*S*H]

It's not that it was bad, on the contrary it was quite good. But after the sheer brilliance of meet the medic, I expected more. Ah well, maybe they will start again now. Meet the Heavy 2: Blood puncher coming in 2013.

 

[Raide]

Stop making goddamn funny videos, film-making software bollocks and start making some games dammit.

 

[BigTnaples]

behold, the sloppiest gif i've ever made

Took me a second, but that is genius.
