Fun fact: the Scout is so commonly associated with Jerma within the fandom that eventually the official comics revealed the Scout’s canonical first name to be Jeremy
@@timekeeperz9714yes, Jerma was originally a really popular tf2 streamer from boston who looked like scout. So in the comics they named the scout jeremy in his honor
@@timekeeperz9714 I was told it's because the voice actor is a fan of Jerma, because the scout voice actor is also a streamer/skit maker and looks up to Jerma, and asked if the scout could be named Jeremy after Jerma.
maybe not perfectly - my favourite part of meet the spy is that if you pay close attention to the blu scout, he has some overexaggerated reactions to things, especially the soldier straight up shooting the person he thought was a spy without consideration, almost like he's acting.
@@dr.infernous9342 yeah. But in the comic he copied an enemy perfectly, despite only being in the same room as him for maybe a few minutes. He was only found out due to robotic eyes that can see through disguises
The thing I love about Meet the Spy is that if you look carefully, there are loads of hints that the Scout is the Spy; 1. He doesn't know the code for the room. 2. When BLU Spy comes in, you can see Scout taking a look at Sniper's back. 3. When playing with the knife he 'cuts' himself, but if you look carefully you'll see it's the back of the knife that hits his fingers. Also; At the end, RED Spy calls Scout's mum "my little cauliflower".
The 3rd fact is obviously not true. If you can pause it at the time he cuts himself, the knife part does touch his skin. Also even if it was true why would the red spy obviously fake a cut in front of his identical clone that has mastered the butterfly knife, his clone would quickly catch if he faked a cut.
I don't play so I don't know. But a scout would be pretty useless in actual battle, wouldn't it? Just hitting people with a metal bat sounds fun but what can he really do besides that? Did they give him an ult that would basically allow him to cheat by seeing through walls and marking the other team for his team to see or something?
@@paige8453scout has a shotgun. and a pistol. in fact, the only time youd ever realistically wanna use the melee slot is if you equip a weapon that you can launch a projectile with. also scout can double jump and he is by far the fastest class in the game (if you don’t take other classes’ movement tech into account) also there is no such thing as an ult in tf2
And that speed of his matters a lot for him. Pro Scout players are basically unkillable gods since they can dodge pretty much anything short of aimbot. Someone did a test where every class can have all of the class specific exclusive weapons and the meta devolved into Scouts using the Rocket Launcher or Flamethrowers. Shows how powerful just being the fastest jumpiest guy can be.
"The way they were approaching battle is pretty dumb though. They're just running at the guns!" Yeah. Patterrz definitely didn't play more than one match of TF2 because you'd be surprised at how many people just run at the ubered Heavy and just get mowed down. Also, there's a very rare easter egg when gibbing a scout where Archimedes (the dove) will fly out of him.
Also ,this was canonically filmed by a character named The Director for RED Team (who was afterwards killed on order of the Administrator for having seen to much). So of course he made RED team look good, by asking the BLU mercs to run in and get killed.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog Also, you know... BLU was kicking the shit out of RED and was literally storming their main base when the first-ever-in-all-of-history Ubercharge happened. Like, yeah, pardon fucking me for launching a 99% successful siege, slaughtering nearly the entire army, and then 5 seconds from victory the last surviving guy gets an invincibility star and whips out a chain gun the size of a golf cart. Totally should've fucking accounted for and been prepared for that.
17:17 Pat, "That Spy is a spy!" is basically the "Its over 9000!" of TF2. Its the easiest, most overused meme of the franchise, and you practically did it on instinct, congratulations.
None of the characters even say "That spy is a spy!", which makes it funnier. Scout: That spy ain't one of us! Soldier: That spy is not one of ours! Pyro: (mumbles) Demo: That spy's a bloody traitor! Heavy: Spy is not our spy! Engineer: That spy's one of them! Medic: Ze spy is a double agent! Sniper: That spy is an enemy! Spy: That spy is not one of us (or) That spy is an enemy!
@@AlexDoubleAU Pootis at least stays funny and doesn't tire out as quickly as "That Spy", not to mention that Pootis has evolved to work by itself as a meme beyond the original context.
The Engineer’s turret is the opposite. It’s an extremely powerful weapon that can mow down any class in moments. It often serves as basically a boss fight that the opposing team will need to coordinate to clear out if it’s set up well. The engineer is conversely quite weak and dependent on his buildings and teammates.
@@windrider2190There are obvious exceptions for unlocks like the Gunslinger, but he was specifically asking if the Engie Turret was powerful or if it was a limp noodle like in other games. The engie's basic turret, especially when fully upgraded, makes up most of the Engie's damage potential and is one of the strongest weapons in the game.
@@toxic_shr00m Compared to any actual combat class he's weak. Shotgun is a secondary on all but scout and engie for a reason. He's got very middling health and unremarkable speed. He's not completely helpless in a duel, yes, but he is not someone built to wade into battle and dish out damage himself. Someone did an analysis comparing Torbjorn. Torb does most if his damage with his own weapon and his turret is a quick to deploy weapon but does only a bit extra. Engie is the reverse, with his damage mostly coming from his sentry gun and his own damage and battle ability being relatively low compared to the rest of the cast.
@@TheEmperorGulcasa Right but calling him "quite weak" is a significant disservice to a class that can kill anyone with two to three shotgun shots (without overheal). Basically what I'm saying is that engineer is comparatively less powerful but not objectively weak, far from it.
There is a ton of trivia about each character. Like, Heavy having degree in Russian literature or Solder not knowing that WW2 ended and was kept going a few years after.
and medic canonically owning the souls of all other classes, therefore having enough leverage with satan that he is effectively immortal. and scout canonically being god's gift to women, as stated directly by god. both of these from the same sequence in the comics where several classes die. also to survive a prolonged period without alcohol, most of demoman's organs self-converted themselves into a brewery and make their own booze internally. the meet the team videos are great, but the tf2 comics are legendary.
Yeah, the joke is that the Soldier is a civilian, as he was rejected from every branch of the US military when he applied for WW2 as a young man, for reasons of being insane. He built his own wepaons and went to Poland and "killed Nazis"... in 1945 after WW2 was already over. Took people until 1949 to find and convince him to go home.
it took me way to long to get the soldier's joke about the animals all being in only one place... it's called a zoo, because it was invented by sun-zoo.
Here's one of my favorite Fun Facts: Most of "Meet The Sandvich" is completely improvised by Heavy/Demo's, Soldier's and Scout's Voice Actors respectively, and what was part of the reason they got their roles for the characters. Still makes me laugh when rewatching it.
It's basically been lost to time, but the Heavy receiving a healing item was very unpopular when it was announced. Then Meet the SandVich came out and everyone loved it.
Fun Fact, the cut we see Sniper get on his cheek in the meet the spy video is on his model as a scar! I just love the little details that went into him like if you look closely at his thumb he has black nail which is a common injury for people who use his type of gun to end up with! it's from the gun pinching the nail as the new bullet is put in place, most likely because of that fancy twirl he did with it in his own video.
@@dj11o9er I belive it has to do with the pin that holds the bullet in place sliding up and catching his finger as he replaces the bullet for the spent one. But don't quote me I know next to nothing about guns.
I guess the canon is a little patchy on this, but officially, it's supposed to be scrumpy - a kind of apple cider made of tart, shriveled or otherwise low-quality apples, left to ferment until "dry", ie. until all the sugars have been converted into alcohol. The result is a strong, rough cider with little to no sweetness or apple flavor left in it. You could call it the English version of malt liquor. Funnily enough, the bottle WAS originally meant to contain whiskey - there are unused assets in the game that show team-colored variants of the Bottle weapon, the Red variant having text that says "Red Shed Whiskey" and the blue variant simply saying "Scotch". For some reason, they scrapped that and gave both teams the same Bottle model and texture with the "XXX" written on it.
@@qinjiwei5058 I’m confused with people like you. You enter territory of a community, and see someone discussing something about it. You decide to literally just shut them up because you don’t find the topic interesting.
Something about the Engineer: He is designed to create Stalemates. His Sentry Guns ARE super powerful. A Level 3 Sentry can wipe out most classes in less than a second flat.
The problem with meet the engineer is it completely neglects dispensers and teleporters. Those are designed to help the team but meet the engineer is all about: Haha build gun Also, don't forget about demo, spy's sapper, medic's über,
Jesus Christ her husband just can't stay off her, can he?! I feel kind of bad for her because how fucked up would her body be after having 9 kids not to mention how stressful raising them probably was for her even with her husband around. hahaha
The Engineer's turrets are actually THAT powerful. At least back when I played. To ballance it out, they have 3 stages: Stage 1: That tiny turret right in front of him, which can deal decent damage, but has low health and a lower dps. Stage 2: double minigun. These will wreck anyone who comes in its range. Stage 3: same as 2, but with a rocket launcher on top. The Engineer has to harvest scrap over time to upgrade said turrets, though he has other roles he can fill. The turret's role is area denial, setting up turrets to stop enemy pushes. They aren't invincible, and can be overwhelmed by numvers and explosives. But a good Engineer can stop an uncoordinated team in its tracks!
@@MailMainbutnot nah they have the same bullet dps. Level 3 sentries are better than level 2 senteries because they have more health,rockets and same bullet dps. Note:rockets can be a disadvantage against a pyro that knows how to deflect.
@@santiagoindisguise7289 But at the same time level 3s take a bit more time to deploy and the hitbox is slightly bigger so there are some downsides to level 3s.
@@R64GreatDays the hitboxes being bigger is kind of a double edged sword, since even though it can screw you up, it can also allow you to attack over edges. There is no better sentry here. It all depends on the situation/playstyle. Sometimes it's better to just have a level 1 sentry over a level 3 sentry.
@@santiagoindisguise7289 Yeah. I like the nuance of whether or not to upgrade. I often only upgrade to level 2 due to lower redeploy time if I need to consistently redeploy like on an attacking team. One correction though. A level 2's gun barrels can shoot at the same height as a level 3. That means theoretically a level 2 can be place in a spot where the barrels are barely peeking out. The smaller hitbox can make it harder to deal with. Just a theoretical though. Don't really use this info much.
There's a few hints that the Blue Spy already knew that the Blue Scout was a Red Spy right from the get go: - After he picks up the knife and expertly holsters it, he hands it straight to the hands of the Scout while holding his gaze on him. You can see his expression appears shocked as he pauses and blinks several times at the knife the Blue Spy handed back to him, essentially telling him "your move." - He already has a folder of the Red Spy and Scout's mother at hand, he had plenty of time to pick up that piece of evidence when the intercoms started blasting about the Red Spy. - The Red Spy nearly broke character because of how outraged he was, and for more salt on the wound the Blue Spy made use of that incident as an expression of their doom. - The Blue Spy specifically targets the Blue Scout of the photos being the second worst thing to happen to him today, even going out of his way to shove him to grab his attention. The Blue Spy knows the Red Spy is trapped where he stands, and he can't do anything about it with Soldier and Heavy being there. - The Blue Spy goes into detail of the Red Spy being a scoundrel, right in front of his face. - The Blue Spy was going to reveal that the Blue Scout was the Red Spy before his head exploded, "He could even be-" The Red Spy goes to finish his sentence "Right behind you." Blue Spy had him pegged from the very start, but because the Soldier was an impulsive lunatic and the Blue Spy took too long playing with his food, he lost the battle by getting shot in the face and distracting the Heavy and Soldier with his death.
The Engineer Dell Connagher is not a "blue collar worker", he canonically has 11 PhDs and is decended from the genius inventor Radigan Connagher who worked for BLU team in the 1890s. But yes, Dell _did_ work on an oil rig as a younger man.
I think the comment is referring to the fact that in universe sniper's parents abondoned him and the family that adopted him(presumably the parents he's talking to in the meet the sniper trailer) were killed by someone or something idk I haven't watched anything related to tf2 lore for almost 1-2 years now
The Sniper grew up in Australia, but the TF2 comics later revealed he was born in New Zealand and then as a baby ended up in a rocket that flew to Australia and landed on a farm to be adopted... yes, he is the TF2 version of Clark Kent. Without superpowers.
Y'know, the jars of piss are a weapon in-game. You can throw them to enemies and they get mini-critical hits (also discovers cloaked spies). It is the ancient martial art of the Jarate (actual name of the weapon)
Fun fact! In the comics it's been explained that the person interviewing them keeps getting killed before they can interview the blue team and they keep rehiring new interviewers for the other classes but they keep dying after they finish interviewing the red team Edit: Fun fact 2! They had hours of content from scout... unfortunately most of the footage was just him showing off and all the usable footage ended up being less than a few minutes In the comics, I don't think anyone would be sane if someone tried to interview scout irl Edit 2: soldier and demoman have metal reinforced legs to help them rocket jump without destroying their legs Also soldier married heavy's sister and they fought an army of robots while nude and covered in honey with their fists together(soldier and heavy's sister)
18:57 A hard hat will not stop a bullet. Similarly military helmets can resist bullets but aren’t perfect and the idea is to protect the head against shrapnel. In ww1, cloth caps were replaced with steel helmets to reduce head trauma from shrapnel, and they worked.
Additional trivia: there was a major uptick in reported head injuries once the metal helmets were implemented. This was in direct correlation with a decrease in deaths. The soldiers were getting shot *and surviving*
Fun fact, the censored part of the meet the demoman video was actually government forced censoring, he was talking about "They got more monsters in loch ness than they got the likes of me."
Was it government-required? I know Valve had a contest for people to submit what they thought he was saying (since you can see his mouth), with a prize for whoever got closest.
The reason why they took away his medical license: the first patient he worked on, he had him sleep and when the patient woke up, their skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard of again, you can hear that after scout hits the window, that is why heavy laughed so hard
To answer the question about Pyro, the rain blower weapon is accessible and when you use it you do get to see pyro’s true point of view Also I was an engineer main when I played as well as pyro
Fun fact: the heavy is not covered for the firing of his weapon. He has to pay out of pocket, since the mercenaries in team fortress are private operators hired by Redmund Mann and Blutarch Mann for the RED and BLU teams respectively. I'm pretty sure it's revealed in the comics that they don't get paid too much and heavy is in serious debt. Also, the sandwich is heavy's healing item.
In canon, thats because demomans eye was cursed by a magical wizard called merasmus to create a giant killer floating eye called the monocolus And every time medic brings it back it turns into the monocolus again. Yeah, tf2 lore is insane.
"I hope they never stop developement for this game." Little too late for that mate. Community went without an upsate for so long that they absolutely lost their minds in adoration for a seal added to the game
Im so surprised by how many popular youtubers are JUST getting introduced to tf2, its heartwarming honestly. I am hyped to see your reaction especially, you are such a great reaction youtuber
Fun Fact. When Demo is censored at 13:29 it's not because he's being vulgar but rather the Scottish Government needing to censor him because he revealed the existence of the Loch Ness Monster
any by watching this, you have already unwillingly and obligatorily signed an unwritten contract that every person that has watched the "Meet The Team" videos and now is bound to watch the "Expiration Date" video and the "How It FEELS" series by Lazy Purple.
And put a man's concience in a pumpkin, put baboon uteri on the original Team Fortress crew, and somehow surgically transfered 9 extra souls into himself
actually fun fact: the scout is always banned in a tournament setting cause of his double capture speed, which makes him the strongest character on a capture point map (deprecated information from years ago, things have changed)
Minor detail that chat didn't mention, y'know in Meet the Spy, where the red spy slashes Snipers cheek? They added the scar onto the snipers model after the video came out to make it cannon, it's pretty sick
as a texan musician i vibe hard with engine, but medic will forever and always be my fave. i always play healer/support in any game that offers it, and medic is what made me fall in love with doing it, rather than doing it out of necessity. bonus points for: •fun personality + voice •fellow bird lover •canonically owning every class’ souls, holding leverage over the devil himself and becoming basically immortal as a result •the baboon uterus incident (no i will not elaborate further)
Red Spy doesn't have to kill Blue Scout. He just wears his mask -- Blue Scout himself may walk around somewhere else. There's typical situation in the game: you meet yourself running away. You may think for a moment: "WTF?! Yes, it's spy! SHOOT HIM!"
This isn’t even as crazy as the lore gets Like it’s cannon that soldier was roommates with Mirasmus the GREAT AND POWERFUL (mediocre) wizard who’s castle soldier turned into a raccoon sanctuary and who is in constant debt to criminal organizations such as the Russian mafia who almost had him whacked, in the same comic where they were joined by a talking pumpkin made by engineer and medic using the brain of a criminal who tried to rob medic TF2’s lore is bonkers of you couldn’t tell
Favorite Class to play are Engineer, Medic, Sniper and Pyro. Favorite Class from the team personality itself, gotta be Pyro and Soldier. XD Favorite of the voices has to be Medic, though I am biased on that, because I am German. And I love when someone tries to mimic a German speaking english xD
One thing I never really appreciated until now is how the Meet the Scout video specifically shows him beating up a Heavy. It feels a little farfetched, but I'm starting to feel like that's the whole point - it's their subtle way of telling you not to underestimate the scout, because he can hit way above his weight class in a very literal sense.
1:05 Well Patterrz, a wise man once said.... *"If I have to describe Sniper in one sentence, it would be.."Wow! I'm soo good at this game......And now I'm dead!!!"* *-A Very Wise man*
a nice detail I love about Meet the Spy is how the blue Spy immediately recognises the scout is the red Spy after he seemingly cuts himself on the dull side of the Butterfly Knife and tries to expose him before getting cut off at the end and having the red Spy continue his sentence "He could be you, he could me me! he could even be... right behind you"
