Thankfully, everyone knows that Blue soldier has asbestos poisoning due to the industrial materials used in construction for Blu team's housing. He merely has tiny particles clogging up his lungs, instead of literal insanity. I'm sure he's otherwise strict about his... lungs are already clogged by cigars. And choked by the cold oxygen-reduced air. Huh. He must be a frequent user of the Respawn Machine. Meanwhile, the Red Soldier is (canonically (*as in not just made up by me on the spot)) 'justified' as being dumb because they have lead poisoning from the more "creatively" sourced materials used in the construction of Teufort's plumbing, which Solider partook in the results of.

Got to say, the concept of a flock of doves carrying a bomb is as haunting as it is hilarious.

[@titanosaurdy9493]

Their gonna blow up the reds are they?

[@dulguunjargal1199]

(Bit of a Giant Geopolitical 🤓 here) Honestly when you think about it a flock of Doves carrying a bomb is a good way to represent peace in the modern times because every dove is a Military Power on the world stage that has the ability to start WW3 and they are all working together or atleast agreeing to not start WW3. And every time a one of those powers start a conflict of their own that flock dies or cuts its rope to the bomb making it more likely for the bomb to become too heavy and drop out of the sky starting WW3 and ending everything that was below it being a functioning modern society.

[@richardmoore609]

One of the plans on the blue table in the beginning was for a pigeon bomb

[@TextualDeviant]

Actually, there's an easter egg that proves that they actually did use that plan. It just, didn't work. Let's just say that, somewhere out there, a group of pidgeons flew off towards the reds with the bomb, and did not arrive at the destination. They did not arrive at any intended destination. Instead, the pidgeons- carrying a bomb straight off a payload cart that takes multiple humans to trudge along, between the five of them somehow- _wandered_ around their target, rather than actually executing on the plan by... dropping the bomb. Most likely, what happened is the tied-up birds scavenged off of the batllefield, pulling around the bomb as they did so, before eventually getting unlucky with a stray bullet or explosive, being atomized immediately as the closest living things to the payload. Followed by whatever even unluckier people happened to be in the range of the Monster Bash centerpoint-sized, instantly deadly explosive.

Its because the hype for the update was massive and it underdelivered. Its the fault of overly high expectations and Valve and by no means the fault of this animator.

I really love the idea of the BLU team's classes having slightly different personalities, despite being from the same clone batch of the original mercs I wish I could've said this 8 years ago, when this thought first crossed my mind but I was too fucking stupid to even formulate it. Feels weird that I barely remember this vid despite it(coincidentally) marking pretty much the end of my years of playing TF2. I think they also disabled custom texture and sound support shortly after this Edit: Holy shit, this was the end of the line for my time with TF2

[@Antroz0n]

This entire cinematic should've been its own gamemode called "Train Sabotage", where you're actually in the train, and the red team would start at the last cart, while the Blu team would start near the front. The red team would have to capture 5 control points, (so 5cp and 1 control point for each cart). Despite the fact that the trains would have to be a quite comically large, by themselves they would be too contained, so there'd probably be a lot of hand-built wooden platforms and/or outer railings on the sides. You could also go on the roofs of the train carts too, (though not every cart will have a roof, and one of the control points would be open with few barricades/storage crates for cover). The time limit would be continuous, (but it would be long enough to be reasonable), and as the time goes down the background would slowly change. It would start at the snowy area, to the mountains, and very slowly have the sunset start to fade in as it then goes into the tunnel, then after emerging it's the warm forest area. If the time were to run out, it would ram right into the barrels of dynamite and explode the whole town, (and despite there being the orphanages, it could be said that they were evacuated as a precaution if the red team were to fail). I also think it'd have to be 9v9, (18 players), where every player would have to excel at only 1 certain class, meaning no multiple of the same classes. (It would be kinda a pseudo-competitive). Because I just feel that 12v12 would just be too much. These are just some thoughts I had after rewatching this SFM, even though there's probably a lot of flaws with them, I still think that with enough polish it could be something. Open to criticism on my ideas, and I'm curious as to what else anyone can come up with.

There are so many things I love about this animation. At 0:45, Soldier puts the train plan over a plan for a "stealth pigeon bomb." At 13:10, Sniper wakes up to see this plan put into action. At 5:04, Sniper watches in shock and disappointment as Scout breaks the side view mirror. At 11:57, we get to witness Heavy bend the barrel of a gun 90 degrees in less than a second with a single hand, then proceed to fold Spy's spine in half by driving his whole body 2 feet into the ground, leaving Spy in more shock and confusion than pain.
