Army Combat Vet Reacts to If TF2 Was Realistic 4! 

Fun Fact: The voice actor for the civilians and rebels in Half Life 2 was Sniper, which is why he used the "poor Lazlow" voiceline

"grenades don't often function" The hitreg issues with the Caber is just Valve putting detail in the game

i think the first one is refering to the stock sticky launcher being able to place 8 stickes. when you shoot the 9th one the first one you shot automaticly explodes.

You're taking it so seriously it's hilarious and I'm all here for it.

8:15 Fun Fact: that is also how solar sails work. The momentum you get from light is incredibly small, even from enormous sails. However, for any interstellar travel that a minimum will likely take decades at Light Speed, you can afford to spend years accelerating a ship to the desired speed, especially since you wouldn't need to use most of your bulk just for chemical fuel that is literally thrown away.

The joke is the Half-Life 2 civs and Sniper share a VA (John Patrick-Lowrie). That's where the Lazlo line comes from

"Lazlow ? Is that The Sniper's Name ?" [14:43] No, this is why I recommend heavily for you to review The TF2 Comics or at least The Online Dubs by The Beard. There's so much lore packed together with humor, drama, and action. Sniper's Name is Mundee. (Spoilers Ahead, if you don't want to spoil yourself don't read) His Full Name is Mundee Mundy. He was a New Zealander not an Australian. His Father was an inventor who convinced The Government of Old Zealand to sink themselves into the ocean. Then he propositions again to send them to space. He however this time was rejected. Out of frustration, he built a rocket to save himself from the apocalypse he predicted. Not accounting for his wife nor Young Sniper. After a quick brawl between Sniper's Father and His Wife. Baby Mundee accidentally crawled into The Rocket and set off from their underwater dome. Cracking it in the process, though his father is not a very smart inventor and miscalculated the power needed to breach the atmosphere and the water surface itself. So it actually crash landed in Australia. Where Sniper's Adoptive Parents found him and now their prayers for a baby boy was fulfilled. Their last name was Mundy btw. So that's why Sniper's Name is Mundee Mundy. That's also why instead of being stereotypically TF2 Australian with Body Hair, Gruff, and Outgoing. Sniper is reserved, has little to no body hair, and relatively thin compared to his school friends. This also explains why when he was a kid. Instead of brawling with his classmates like any other Australian kid would do. He would just climb on top of a tree and pelt rocks at them.

Engi is too smart to build sentries that would shoot the wrong people or not shoot at all

5:48 Counterpoint this is around the 1970s and that design was widely used in the Vietnam war.

I love all the if tf2 was realistic videos, brings back memories

17:20 I mean surely stabbing a person's central nerve that is in the neck could at least leave them paralyzed right?

14:30 That Lazlo quote is directly from Half-Life 2 haha, Sniper has the same voice actor as the male npcs in that game

he turned a "if tf2 was realistic" vid even more realistic

10:20 This is also why Heavy is not Fat but Mostly Muscle Built like a Sumo Wrestler and Other Professional Weight Lifters. He carries a fucking minigun around a giant battlefield every day for a job. He may move slow but that's because of the immense weight of the gun and how he needs to posture himself to lift it and properly uses it. He lifts it with his back. Scout is also a fast metabolism since he runs incredibly fast every day as a job that why he drinks radioactive soda cans as supplements in battle. He needs the extra sugar and (something else in there) to outperform his enemies and somehow bullets too.

5:27 I'd assume Demoman is using new grenades with the old design, as it clearly says "MANNCO" on it, which is the weapon supplier for both teams

I love you Paul, keep with the good job mate, keep the seriousness, we on RU-vid need more things like this.

On the opening bit about "infinite stickies", I think it's more a point of there not being a limit to the number of stickies you could conceivably place. i.e. your oldest sticky wouldn't randomly explode or disappear just because you placed an 8th sticky.

With stabbing someone in the back im sure if you hit the spine or the neck it would either kill or leave them paralyzed from the stab point down Which is still as effective as instantly killing them And with the force you see spy stab someone in game you can make the assumption that if he hit the spine the blade would spread the spine or break through it or cause enough damage to paralyze them So spy does actually work And the ulapool caber we assume it was made recently so demo could use it and it wouldn't be as fragile as you say

The Sniper's name isn't Lazlo. The sniper model that said that was using lines from the game Half Life 2

yeah, my main issue I've had with the series is that the level of realism varies wildly

In TF2 turrets would probably be programmed to shoot the enemy color or the most likely one would be that the mercs would have some kind of identification device that signals whether to shoot or not. Which Mann CO. would definitely make

For automatic turrets, I'm pretty sure the engies just have a sensor on the sentries to shoot anything that isn't wearing red or blue

12:11 The stress and tension of combat can make scout and heavy burn calories aswell?. Cool, they can eat wathever they want.

Fantastic reaction MHGR. I love this reaction. You know so much about combat. There is an sfm called Tasty Cools 9 that is an SFM and involves alot of fighting in it. I am sure you would have a blast watching it. Have a spectacular day!

I always thought that the spy, for backstabs, tried to sever the spinal cord. But even that is a bit of a stretch

Is it me or are there no videos our friend Paul here has posted on reacting to 1 through 3? I could just be blind. It’s usually the blind thing.

The way he said "Ullapool Caber" made me die a little inside.

"This is actually completely correct" [16:17] Sadly, no. It is not. A slice to the back is actually way more dangerous than in front because most of your organs is further back than in front. Plus that to Spy's Backstab aiming for an artery near your heart that can bleed out in seconds of puncture. It become clear that Spy's Backstab is correctly instant lethal. Provided he aims correctly for the artery however. But knowing that he's a professional in the business for years. I wouldn't doubt his methods.

So the whole Lazlo thing is a reference to Half-life two, and the dialogue can be found in the chapter callled "Sand traps" , and is said by a rebel after his buddy has been killed by an antlion.

Any comment regarding the reliability of old weapons degrading over time is a moot point in this scenario, as Team Fortress 2 canonically takes place around the 1950s, post WW2 but pre Cold War. They have some weird sci-fi tech for some reason, but it still takes place in the 50s, when those devices would still be new.

The most unrealistic thing is TF2 trying to be realistic.

The animator already covered sentrys not being able to tell friend vs foe in a different video

6:30 TF2 red vs blue takes place in the late 60's, and both teams are fueled by Mann Co, a weapons manufacturer that isn't exactly normal or efficient with its weapons

I know i'm late but, i think you should watch "Mickey's descent to madness" it's a fantastic psychological short film.

4:35 You're talking to the guy that invented teleporters.

7:00 See, the thing is, you can hear the sentry's target sound, meaning that the sentries are going to shoot the grenades, causing them to go off. Or at least, that's my theory.

Explains AI recognition My brain, turret shoot blue thing

5:10 in the description of that weapon it says “if I were sober I would throw it”

The grenades returning weren't actually supposed to be back on soldier it was a mistake that happened in sfm

Demoman would actually be able to throw the grenade because the game takes place right after world war 2, as the grenade wouldn't be as outdated

It's the 20th century, my guy. The grenade will work fine.

seeing your vids always puts a smile on my face even when a day hasn't gone exactly as planned

I think the point about “infinite stickies” is that they start to disappear after you put so many down, rather than literally being able to put down an infinite number of them.

16:56 Although spy’s shown to be a professional so I’d at least expect him to recognize we’re the heart and lungs are and aim for it.

I agree with the point he made at 7:50. I've pushed entire rows of carts at Walmart, it is hard to get it started but once it starts it's easier to move them

2:11 I mean, this is Mann Co. weaponry that Demo is using, which has a track record of not being very good/well put together.

everytime this guy pauses on any tf2 videos, He's spittin facts and I love it

1:45 In this case, even if he has access to more, placing more than 8 causes earlier ones to detonate early. It's specifically about the cap of 8 _active_ stickies. 6:28 Still better than using it as a melee weapon and hitting people with it, which is how it's used in-game. The main feature of that weapon is that hitting someone with it causes it to explode in your hand, hurting you both. 7:38 I think they address this in a later video where they realize they are wrong. 20:14 Something was cut out here. Was it for copyright reasons?

in if tf2 was realistic 5 they have the demoman aiming poorly idea

I think a simple way of explaining the Sentry is for if it’s mostly blue and it’s moving, it’s a target, or if it’s mostly red and moving for Blu

enginer prob put tracing identfiers on his team so sentery guns are able to do what they do sorry for my english

Lazlo is only the name of a npc in Half life 2

19:43 Except everyone is the same clothing size as the other team's counterpart to them. They're quite literally the same people 1:1 outside of the colors they wear. A Soldier WILL fit into the outfit of another Soldier, for instance.

The snipers name isn't lazlow, but the voice actor of sniper is the same as the citizens and rebels in half-life 2, so they took that line from the hl2 citizen line of "dear god, poor lazlow!"

5:42 the in game year is 1968, i mean yes the grenade are old but not as much if it was 2022

The more big is such an amazing line

4:20 isn’t the point of captcha to NOT help bots, and in fact to do the opposite

5:31 tf2 is happening in the 1960's and 70's

17:46that's a good weapon idea Wait actually I think it's a weapon in the workshop it's a needle full of poison and when you backstab enemies they get poisoned and die after a few seconds and you get to keep your disguise just like real spy would

Hey Paul the animator is doing what was requested not the whole thing realistically yes you could technically place as many sticky’s as you want

5:40 stick grenades were invented in 1915 while tf2 takes place during 1968, and i think they were being produced up to that time (nevermind the youngest stick grenades were produced in 1945 but i don't think demo man would let the bombs degrade like that) also 16:46 people would be wearing kevlar and bullet proof vests, not stab proof and especially not spike proof, also blunt weapons just have no defense in general besides cushioning

Oh 1st idea makes sense because Demo can only shoot 8 stickies at a time.

So… that person wasn’t being serious. What he meant is you can have more than 8 armed stickies. As a demo man in game you can only have 8 armed stickies (certain sticky launchers ignore this factor) if you have more than 8 your leftovers will detonate.

I like your military facts in tf2 sfm videos.

Backstab are some kind of instand kill cuz he attacks the spine not other parts of the back mostly canonical

This video was enough to get me to exercise right away lol

ya for a backstab to work you gota focus on the temple or neck

The sticky bomb part was realistic.

5:39 ACTUALLY that caber was made by mann-co a few days or weeks ago

There is two o'clock in the morning, I need to go to bed, but there's a content.

i reckon if you were to to put goggles and a hard hat on you'd look like the tf2 engineer

honestly spy might be more realistic if instead of backstabbing he slit throats

Never thought I'd be getting deit advice

4:45guess that what 150master degrees do to your brain

I await more.

stickyballs should be a cosmetic in tf2

Shaved Paul is so cursed.

The calories thing is great because I used to be a big swimmer and did athletics in high school like cross country and basketball. I was ALWAYS under weight and super skinny despite the fact I ate a lot of food in my own opinion. Now at 24 I'm more careful about my intake though I tend to fluctuate in weight between 160ish and 170. At 6'1" its not a terrible weight and I could probably do longer walks before work or something to lose some fat if I really needed to.

Really looking forward to your reaction to Sseth's Rimworld review

this is in any old time

Delfy, The Man The Myth The Legendary TF2 Bug/Exploit expert

Centre guide is really complicated you do know that Dell Carnegie aka the engineer has 11 phds

Counterpoint: Tf2 takes place in the 60's so the caber isn't actually that old at the time. In fact, some armies would still use it due to lack of alternatives, in Africa for example

I'm gonna recommend das to do the 'firearms and drinking thing' just for MHGR

Well, do we really need an automated turret for just infantry? Wouldn't be easier for them to develop AT and AA automated turrets, all we would have to do is put transponders in our vehicles and then all we would have to do is teach the A.I. to tell the difference between civilian vehicles and military vehicles which should be easier.

TIL grenades can expire

what if spy is hitting the spinal cord also his knife is comically large

5:30 ya but tf2 is in the 60s and the caber would not be “that old”

There's another video that takes comments and adjusts the scenarios of previous videos. You should give it a watch.

Cleary the line of defined ‘realism’ is quite different here.

21:46 How do you know it's not just a broom closet? I'd definitely fuck over intruders by placing sign such as these over ordinary rooms, or even construct labiryntine rooms that folks with the know-how would not enter, knowing there is nothing there, but an invader might get lost in, especially if it's not obviously a labirynth.

So if a grenade can’t be used as a grenade why are grenades still used as grenades?

demo can only place 14 if i remember

Smart(er) Joe Rogan critiques SFM on a fictional game

I think its important to point out that working out a shit ton is not a good way to lose weight, losing calories mostly works to only make you more hungry. Of course exercise is healthy so you should do some jogging or something, but if you want to lose weight you should instead put your focus on your diet, what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat.

14:43 half life 2 reference

reminder, not all animators are weapon experts

You should react to Ahoy's Iconic Arms series, it's very much worth watching

i'd kill to watch mhgr watching madness combat

also as for your comment on the caber its nit wrong by all means but rmebrr tf2 isnt set modern day ita in like the70s to 80s so a caber could still be preserved that long fairly well a d to top that there mercinaries given a wide arsenal witb the worlds larhest hat and mu itiins factory supplying the effort i feel like they could easily remake new cabers
