Meet the Heavy was originally a tech demo to showcase the improved facial expressions of the Source engine. That’s why it’s it’s just him sitting in a room talking and has that random cut to him laughing in the middle of his monologue. The bobble head the sniper has on his dash is the Civilian from Team Fortress Classic. One of the game modes had 3 teams, one made of snipers, one made of other classes, and the lone civilian. The objective was for the Civilian to reach the goal, with the snipers trying to kill him, and everyone else trying to escort him.

[@JohnSmith-xs1ml]

Fun fact about: Heavy: he has a PhD Sniper: his parents are actually disappointed that he's NOT a crazed gunman like them Engineer: he has a cyborg hand and his dad made an immortality machine Scout and Spy: father and son Demoman: his eye socket is cursed, Medic tried to heal him once and unleashed an eldritch demon abomination

I remember Kyle watching this the first time, now he already knows more about TF2 and him seeing it all again is just so fun For example when Heavy says "It cost 400,000$ ..." you can see on his face the same grin most TF2'ers would have.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Well that quote is actually what started all of this! I was live streaming a game called vigor with my cousin and someone referenced that line and I said it out loud and my cousin understood it. I had no idea and they told me about meet the team. I needed an extra video to record so I reacted to meet the team and I ALMOST DIDNT UPLOAD IT! I didn’t think it would’ve been enjoyable for people and people wouldn’t watch it. I said what the heck and uploaded it anyway and it’s my most popular video and tf2 has forever changed my life.

Fun Fact: The reason why in Meet The Medic only the Heavy gets the uber charge is, because Heavy at this point in time is the only Mercenary who had his heart replaced with a mega baboon heart. At the end of the video we can see Medic performing the operation on the seven other Mercs as well - and judging by the fact that he too gets it ingame it is safe to assume that he performed it on himself too.

And it is his finger print, which stays there for all the remaining shots that have Scout in the interview setting, when he's in front of the large sign of "Meet The" background thing. But it isn't present when it cuts back to Scout fighting Heavy.

Facts about TF2: Scout - From Brooklyn, competed a lot due to having many brothers. Believed a celebrity singer was his dad (I forgot which one). Confirmed that his face was modeled after a streamer (Jerma) Heavy - Protects his family and sends money to them. They're in hiding (His dad was a political dissident in Russia) and helped his family escape from the Gulags. Actually smart, I think he has a degree in Russian Literature. Sniper - From Australia but is not buff or bearded, actually from New Zealand. His origin is superman-esque. Engineer - His dad was the engineer from the original team fortress. The machines were originally his dad's designs. Pyro - If without purpose, is actually capable of running a multi-million dollar company. Clinically insane... Demoman - Lives with his grandma, his eye is cursed so that while his body can be fixed with medic's beam the eye cannot, and has drank so much alcohol it has become an actual necessity to keep him alive. Has had his memory erased several times as requested to the medic. Soldier - Insane... Just...Insane... Guy signed up for WW2 but was rejected so he went to Europe on his own to fight the Germans, in 1950-60s... While he does praise American stuff, he fell in love with Heavy's sister, and ironically uses a Russian Styled RPG Spy - Served french intelligence, canon dad of scout, is actually afraid of coming back because he doesn't know what to do. All his teeth are fake, one is filled with a tiny french dinner, and another is laced with cyanide. Medic - Has made a deal with the devil to claim his soul but has seven hearts... All of this is taking place in the 1960'S but is so advanced because of a unique metal called Australium (From australia) that makes people stronger, younger and beardier. Australia had this and was advanced, but because the depletion of Australium you got normal australia instead. Mann.Co is the only one left who has Australium, and that's why the mercs have such advanced gear.

The Engineer canonically has 11 PhDs, the Heavy was revealed to have a degree in Russian literature (in a crossover where he appeared in the _Poker Night at the Inventory_ games and you could unlock a special minigun in TF2 by beating him in Poker), and the Medic did once have a medical license but as he said he lost it (as in, it was taken away, probably with some force). Ah yes, and cnaonically Medic long ago sold his soul to the literal Devil (as seen in the TF2 comic when Medic _does_ get fatally shot by the Team Fortress Classic Heavy, the Devil wants to collect, but Medic tricks him into sending him back, alive, and with 50 more years of life on top). But given that according to the Lore revealed in the _Two Cities_ update for Mann vs Machine (the PvE mdoe of TF2, the war against Gray Mann's robotic armies), Medic is the descendant of a long line of "Mad Doctors, Crazed Scientist, and Warlocks" from the quaint German town of Rottenburg (which actually exists IRL, just 12 km away from Tübingen and 60km from Frankfurt a.M.), that's understandable and he's really well-adapted by comparison. His ancestors are basically Dr. Frankenstein and evil wizards, all turned crazed geniuses by the town's deposits of the quasi-magical metal of Australium -- the metal that also turned all of TF2 universes Australians into bearded muscled beer-driving crazed morons who fight all the time, and New Zealanders into insane scientists who put a dome over NZ and plunged the islands to the bottom of the ocean, basically Atlantis mixed with Krypton because the head scientist send baby Sniper out in a rocket, it broke the dome and most of them drowned. And it's also the most coveted metal on TF2 Earth. It also turned the BLU Engineer Dell Connagher's grandfather, Radigan Connagher, from a smart engineer into a genius inventor (with a magnificent beard, but Radigan seems to have stayed sane, oddly enough... maybe his obsession was something else that got "enhanced") who worked for the evil Administrator (She Who Is Scheming Behind the Scenes... for well over 120 years now!) and build life-extender machines for both Blutarch & Redmond Mann, the two twin brothers who own BLU and RED team and Mann Corp. So that the "Gravel War" the TF2 mercs are fighting will be an endless eternal stalemate, while the Admin siphons away Mann Co's money and also collects blood and the bodies of the fallen mercenaries for her purposes... yes, she is probably a witch, too. Don'r worry, Dell Connagher built the Respawn, so the TF2 mercs actually respawn in new bodies, sorta-kinda immortal... until the Gravel War ended quite unexpectedly after all, and the Robot War began and the Admin had to flee with all the Australium in Mann Co's vault. Other, older mercenary team who worked for her were not so lucky... although the Team Fortress Classic mercs (the original BLU team) were still around by the time of the TF2 timeline (1967-73), crusty evil old buggers.... and one crusty evil old woman (TFC Pyro). Unfortunately they made the mistake of taking the TF2 Medic into their ranks to replace their own dead Medic. That didnt go well for them...

Fun Fact: In game, Scout counts as 2 people when capturing a point or pushing the cart, this is because one of them is Scout and the other is Archimedes

Fun fact: When a Scout picks up a Heavy's Sandvich*if its an enemy* It heals him for 75 health rather than the usual 50 like other classes referencing Meet the Scout Ending where he takes Heavy's sandvich

Back in the day, everyone tried to do the "Meet the Demoman" setup. And we were all shit enough at videogames back then that it tended to work pretty well.

Look at how my boy grew up, now he's the one showing this masterpiece

Yes, his mom. Joking aside, the Meet the Team vids are great for teaching new players about basic principles of playing certain classes. Heavy : Be on the front line, be loud, shoot gun. Sniper : Have the high ground, get headshots, be efficient. Engineer : that's the exception. Don't just build sentries. Give the other buildings some love too. Scout : You're fast, use that. Be a deadly annoyance. Demoman : Destroy Engineer buildings, make people go boom, set up sticky traps to make people go boom. Soldier : Switch weapons. Rockets for long range, shotgun for mid range, and shovel for melee. Also rocket jumping is a thing. Spy : Backstab peeps, which is possible even if you've been found out, sap Engineer buildings, and disguise to blend in, but most importantly, *ACTING.* Disguises don't fool anyone if you don't act like the class you're disguised as. Medic : heal people, and use the Über early to *prevent* damage. Pyro : Burn everything.
