This persisted until 1857, when the young bearded inventor named President Abraham Lincoln invented stairs. "

I always played engineer. The thing is that there’s no ‘overpowered’ characters. With only 9 classes they all have counters. What’s interesting is the variety of weapons and items that can completely change the way a class plays. The demoman has a sub class labeled ‘Demo Knight’ that ditches the explosives all together in favor of a sword and shield combo that’s surprisingly effective. Every class has a use or a play style for someone. That’s why people keep coming back. Like the engineer, but are bored of building sentries? Switch to battle engineer and forget building anything. It’s fantastic. I’d hope that to see more TF2 related content, but there’s a really finite amount if you’re going by official content only. The fan made stuff is super fun and most of it fits into the canon simply because of how wacky the canon is. With that said I’d like to make a suggestion, Team Neighborhood. It’s basically a series where we get to see what these guys get up to during off hours. Each team gets one house to share because their company cheaped out on them and live across the street from one another. Hijinks ensue

It is such a joy to see others appreciate the creativity and passion that went into creating these characters. The Meet the Team series always brings a smile to my face, and it's great to see others enjoy them as well! Meet the Spy still remains my favorite with the quick wit and surprises along the way.

[@CarlosTeixeiraCosta]

Rest In Peace Rick May

[@panzerjagertigerporsche]

The entire thing with Pyro is that his optical mask makes him see everything and the world as sweet and happy instead of as it actually is

[@MathiasPearce]

Fun fact: in the meet the spy, right when the blu spy says "it could even be-" the red spy after changing disguise follows up and says "Right behind you"

[@Penultimeat]

Never heard of this “Chicago” before, but it’s great to see some actors appreciate these cinematics.

[@TheDoomsdayzoner]

Fun fact: ribs DO grow back. The Medic is just THAT much inadequate at his profession.

[@NafedalbiFilms]

20:15 After the trailer reveal, Sniper's model had a new scar on his face.

[@lordcypher5889]

Other than the other official SFM animations, I do recommend adding Heavy’s Birthday (both parts) to the watch list.

[@shaywraithqueen3919]

Was so fun seeing you guys react to this! You should definitely check out Expiration Date. If you watch Mann vs. Machine, you have to watch the second part "sound of medicine" as well. these are all official TF2 videos.

[@Holleaux]

It's truly amazing to see people laugh and enjoy Meet the Team even though all the videos are over 10 years old. It shows how timeless the writing of TF2 is.

[@themalcahtwinz4743]

Valve made alot of animated shorts with these characters. Expiration date, Jungle Inferno and mann vs machine

[@itsmetyphoon9998]

"I think demo gives a mad scientist vibe" Laughs in medic.

[@niklasneighbor6726]

canonically, the first one in the video was the last one to record his meet the team. he was talking for so long, that he used up the rest of the tape.

[@devin59320]

I never thought I would find a react channel like this. you're guys' reactions seem pretty genuine, you don't pause too much, you two even made me laugh, getting me to laugh is pretty damnd difficult for most people. you guys have my sub

[@OrigionalCigarette]

Also the lore is great. Basically there is RED (Reliable Excavation Demolition) and BLU (Builders League United). Here are some fun facts to those who clicked "read more": Fun things to point out is Abraham invented the High five and was the original Pyro, Demoman's eye is haunted Heavy overegaderates the cost of his guns ammo to shoot (still expensive, but not as much) Engineer has 11 PHD's (Hard science) and has a robotic hand that is covered by the glove. He also invented a life extending machine that runs off of Australium, a rare metal found only in Australia. The metal gave australians the power to be tough, and even giving there women mustaches. Pyro sees a false reality, and had a hotly dispute if his sex was Male or Female Sniper was born in New zealand, which sunk since the scientist predicted a end of the world (which was false) Spy may or may not be Scout's father. The theory first came when there were pictures of the spy having a relationship with Scouts mother. Scout is not an only son, but has 7 other brothers (8 total, counting scout) all from Boston Soldier never got into the military, so he went to germany and killed germans. His stupidity is matched by a rock, because he has lead poisoning (obtained from 2-fort [tue fort] due to led in the water) Medic is not a doctor, apparently he took out his patients skeleton and as a bonus: TF2 once was sponsored by Adult swim as an agreement, and has comics that explain all the lore (story). Also the people in charge of the attack are two brothers, Blutarch and Redmond, you can figure out who is in charge of who. They had a brother that was taken by a Eagle, and raised. He is named Graymann. The funder of the war is Saxton Hale, a overly buffed aussie that has a plan to punch every animal in the planet to extension. Also fond of Yeti's. the people managing the war are the "Administrator" or referred to as the "Announcer" (Helen)and "assistant" (Pauling) TF2 was originally planned to be a realistic shooter game, but changed due to the developers. It is now an amazing cartoony game. TF2 was also thought to be "Dead". recently we were hit with a Bot crisis, where people would send AI's and try to ruin the game. Luckily this month we hit a all-time-peek of players. 2021 is turning great for TF2. Valve (the team that created TF2) has a orchestra themself. All the music in the game is made by them. The main goal when the devs were making the characters, was to make all of them easy to distinguish. Heavy's large body, and Scouts narrow body to name just two of the nine. When scout explodes during the game, a pigeon would of flown out of him. I believe it was removed after some time. TF2 was banned in germany. It was recently lifted, and blood and gore was replaced with Oil and Mechanical parts. Honorable mentions: Rick may: Rest in peace, unfortunately died of Covid in 2019. The person who played the Saxophone during meet the medic: I believe the name is "Lisa", but don't quote me on it. Siriously, he/she is going out hard. To answer some questions: Who fights who? Red V.S. Blu Is it online? Yes. Is it actively worked on? Currently, no. However with the recent spike in players, it might come back.

[@nepsipepsi7985]

thank for the history lesson man

[@zenster4618]

Correction: Rick May passed away on 2020

[@aganaom1712]

scout still has the effect when he's gibbed it's just a 1% or less chance

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

A few things to correct you on. The medic _was_ a doctor. He specifically mentions in Meet the Medic that he _lost_ his medical license, meaning at one point he was a practicing doctor. He also was not the doctor who stole the skeleton, he was telling the story of another doctor. The only other point I have is that the Spy is confirmed to be the Scout's father. There's no "may or may not."

[@OrigionalCigarette]

@@anonymousaccordionist3326 Yeah, i shoulda made that more clear.

[@meemmahn2856]

spy: the only guy to bring evidence of your mom jokes since 2007

[@cherishedparks]

Fun Fact: In Meet The Spy, Sniper gets sliced in the cheek by Spy, which Valve then added as a detail on the Sniper model in-game.

[@TheTrains13]

The fact that you went almost 14 years without knowing of this.... welcome

[@CRRNCRW]

TF2 and Teamwork are two words almost never used in the same sentence.

[@alphapegasus9761]

A Little fun fact: The Mercenaries have been fighting over a piece of land for generations. Their employers are Blutarch Mann and Redmond Mann who wanted to have a piece of land in the middle of the desert for themselves. The current team is set somewhere between the 60s and the 70s Also, Medic is the only man that manages to Outsmart bullet.

[@robertcurtis8585]

I love zipping around as the Scout and being able to capture points and hit people without them getting a chance to retaliate. Engie nests are also fun and popping heads as sniper is a strong third

[@Toxic-Spartan22YT]

Rest in peace Rick may he was an amazing soldier voice actor and an amazing person he will always be remembered

[@dinanikto]

Demoman is a mad scientist! I was looking for so long for this description; thank you!

[@kandorian9554]

R.I.P. Rick May, voice actor of the soldier

[@enderman5423]

Them: demoman is like a mad scientist Everyone: *medic gaming*

[@Boldcheesecake1029]

Fun fact, heavy and engy are legally the closest to a doctor as medic lost his licence.

[@RagingIfrit]

One of my favorite TF2 experience is I played spy and I immediately rush into the enemy's spawn as either disguised as another spy, engineer or a medic and I've had many people get fooled for so long all due to me not even doing anything, just sitting near there spawn and making them think that this dude was really on there team

[@thek1ng0fcrowns18]

“What about team fortress 1?” Tf1 was so good it actually never existed

[@fosterrico5546]

Is Team Fortress Classic.

[@bamama1365]

Sad fact: the voice actor of the Soldier, Rick May, that also voiced Pepper on Star Fox 64 and acted in another comedy films, sadly died by COVID in April13th 2020 Rest in peace, hero ;(

[@nosville22]

Fun fact: when the scout grabs the knife in meet the spy he's holdingvthe safe handle so if the blu spy paid attention he would've known instantly.

[@primarchvulkan4013]

He paid actually. He was going for dramatic moment, but soldier interrupted him... By a load of buckshot in the face, yeah

[@Sans_The_Skeleton]

the Demoman drinks so much cuz without an eye he lost his depth perception and drinking just kinda gives him that back

[@BalckWDragon]

THEY HAVE A PAUSE BUTTON.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

I have Medic's voice lines bound to key shortcuts, in the game. every time I play, I send them through chat, like "Whuups... zat vas not Medissin!", "I dunnot zhink Ve broght enoff Bodybags!", "Torn yorr Hedd and coff!", "Hold shtill Shvainhund! Zis vil only shting fur a moment!" for people who've played medic themselves and know these lines, it goes straight to their brains, friend or foe. same with Soldier, it boosts morale: "You've done me proud, boys!", "Ev'rewan of yew d'servs a medal!" I turn into a bootleg R. Lee Ermey.

[@impulseelectrobrine1259]

If both teams are full of engineers then there would just be a wall of sentries and no one would be able to get past each other

[@CalmNoises]

Demomen: Hold our beers

[@SeaguIISoup]

2fort ctf games be like

[@lukasverduzco9493]

Fun fact: Pyro actually isn’t insane. He’s been stuck with that mask ever since he was a child, and he doesn’t actually know what’s been going on when he’s in battle. He was told to believe that he was spreading joy and happiness by the spy, because he’s actually a very nice guy who isn’t willing to hurt anyone.

[@r4dbro]

I have a feeling that the TF2 community might live on, thanks to you :)

[@Matthew-yk7ew]

I honestly have been waiting for this to happen most hype for this reaction!

[@gabrielkrone237]

Tf2 lore is Amazing and i really hope Valve will return their attention to this game

[@philipvigil6313]

17:24 Demonan loses his eye to a magic book but honestly that works pretty well for his backstory

[@PeterGriffin-kb2hf]

Each character has ~15 minutes of in-game voicelines which makes it pretty immersive. In casual matches every class is very capable and can destroy a server with enough skill. In competitive it is a very specific meta that you have to learn to play and strategize around. Over all just play casual as whatever class(es) you enjoy most and if you really get into it and want to take the game seriously sign up for a competitive team.

[@MadWitchJay]

Hello. The meet the medic trailer at 15:56 is the one that got me into the game that's when the game went free to play back in 2011. 10 years ago.

[@spamuel98]

Fun fact: the pyro canonically doesn't realize he's killing people, that pastel candyland is what he actually sees because of the special goggles he wears.

[@ketra1504]

it's not known if it's because of the goggles, that's just the cosmetic items effect lorewise we don't know why he sees the world like that

[@randomperson6597]

he sees the world like that, pyrovision goggles make us see what he sees

[@hanspanzer1260]

I love an engineer for the fact that he can be useful to the team while lying on a cot drinking beer

[@Carsdf]

Took ya long enough. Hope you do Expiration Date soon!

[@phillippi2]

"Feelings? You know who has a lot of feelings? Blokes who bludgeon their wife to death with a gold trophy. Professionals, have standards." This is a reference to a true story. Not sure exactly where but, it happened in Australia.

[@kylehart8829]

You guys should check out the official TF2 short film "Expiration Date", it's extremely well made and very entertaining, and introduces a few new characters as well. EDIT: should've looked at the related videos 😂

[@MaiOhMai255]

My favorite thing is that if you watch the way the red spy disguised as the scout, the way he flips the knife he's holding the safe handle so he only hit his finger with the back of the blade so there was no way he cut himself but it was very convincing

[@thatotherguy8138]

"Meet the Engineer" convinced me to buy the game, even though my opinion of online Multiplayer games like this was X-Box Live arseholes who gave gaming a bad name - but the Meet the Engineer was so good that I decided to give it a short anyway. My preferred character was the Medic - and I was a damn good one too. Engineer was just too popular, Sniper was fun but Toxic if you weren't good (same with Spy), but Medic? A bad Medic was appreciated. A good Medic got you invited onto private servers and part of private teams, and I played on a half-dozen in the two years or so that I was active. Fun times - I still miss it, particularly when I'm trying to play League of Legends. But I can't get my old Steam account back (Both the credit card I used AND the email address I probably used are now defunct), and I've moved on. But still got a soft spot in my heart for TF2.

[@idahooo3253]

TF2 is free now. so a new account and start again. sure you lose the cosmetics but oh well. its still the same game even with baisic weapons :))
