This could be a great series, can't wait to see the other characters shorts..

man, someone should make a game based off these guys.

brodie123

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Is the writing of those guys from Old Man Murray? I am awestruck...

bad_juju

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> They should make that for the Wii. Even with shitty graphics it would be fun as hell to play online.

aruiz21

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @Witzbold: I played on 56k, it was a 50/50 chance whenever I stepped out of the spawn that I would manage to get my gun up without eating a rocket. Because of this, I developed a very cautious throw-grenades-around-every-corner playstyle. Sometimes it would net me kills (enemy pyro + HWGs + EMP = boom^2), sometimes it would lure folks into sight of my gun, but most of the time it wound up with my grenades going off in my hand due to lag.

You were one of those LPBs, weren't you?

Vanst

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> i was thinking about skipping the orange box, but this looks like a major dose of excellent.

bigmac375

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> That was sheer excellent. I laughed so hard at the Sun Tzu/Noah reference.

Feigro

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> God I cannot wait for this game. I loved the original TFC, but haven't had much to play on the PC since I got tired of WoW.

Anyone else upgrading their pc for this one?

Frank

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @ThatGuyOverThere: This is typical of Marines. And they dig foxholes to read it in. Beloved (Army) swears this is so.

Chilly Hollow

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @Vanst: But I enjoyed smacking them with my wrench. D: As they looked at my sentry gun trying to figure out a way around the choke point I had set up. :D

Would die a lot from that though, but sometimes Id get a kill or two. ;D

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Now this is effective advertising. I want to buy the Orange Box for this game based on these shorts (and the anticipation of future shorts). Bravo Valve, bravo.

Atomicvege

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Damn! Hardcore, and funny!

YotaruVegeta

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @Witzbold: It's more fun to lure them into your sentry's field of fire with the temptation of an easy kill, simply by plinking at them with your pistol and running away. Engineers are soft and chewy targets for offensive classes like the Soldier, and most players are indescribably stupid.

Goddamn, someone tell me to shut up already. Playing TFC for four or five years in the early days of multiplayer gaming did horrible things to my mind.

Vanst

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Wow! Valve can do no wrong with this.

divdavdov

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> When I play as the engineer Im so gonna wrench people from behind as they try to avoid my sentry guns.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Quite awesome :).

The humor is looking great.

Rukusa

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @chiablo: You never played as an engineer, did you? There is just such a relationship.

My sentry gun was named Bertha. And she was awe-inspiring.

Vanst

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I really hope that the gibs are back. I'm thinking the beginning animations of the pyro celebrating and the heavy respectively aren't in the game. But since the shovel to the spy's face was after what could have been a short in game sequence, it would be awesome if they do react like that with a shovel to the face!

atomicnuke

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Gibs are so first class. :D

I hope it really looks like that in game too!

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Poor spy... I think getting the shovel in the face is much more painful than getting blown up.

Shijirou

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I am DEFINITELY playing this guy first.

He is me.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Wow, I've played the first team fortress and I grew tired of the generic look. But this new cartoony look with a twist of humor will definitely make me like this a lot.

You guys shoulda seen the "different classes" video on the hl2 site. Its far out especially how wacked the scout runs.

Shijirou

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Wow... gibs... and I thought those died out in PC FPS games! They look so gibby too! *glee*

DaveKap

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Bravo. I love it.

theflux

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Can't wait for this game. I want to see one of these videos for the spy and sniper because those should be good.

seasponge

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @Mikolai: Is...is that what I think it is? Gibs? :O OMG, if they bring back gibs, then it's definitely a plus! I like seeing my enemies flying off into pieces when being blown up with a rocket/grenade, not ragdoll free-flying effects. XD

Gibs=Gud!

Loved the trailer, by the way. This is the way to advertise a game. The direction for this one kind of reminds me of the game: No One Lives Forever, which is good. lol

They should definitely put these clips on TV just before the release of the game.

Doshu

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @mossberg: that was fucking amazing Christ if only the real game has such humor

TF can have a lot of humor, but it's all up to how you play. I used to love playing the medic because other people ignored the class. Poisoning people would cause hilarity (and insults) when they died and there was nobody on their team to heal them. The engineer was also great fun. I used to get a lot of abuse for the traps I'd set.

Doshu

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> It's obvious what we need to do. We need to get this Sun Tzu guy in a ring with Chuck Norris. People would pay millions to watch. From spy satellites, that is, they'd have to evacuate Vegas. And the Reno. And maybye Nevada entirely, just to be safe. Just Sun Tzu and Chuck Norris and one very, very brave man in a striped shirt.


@Torokun: Quality. As in; the standards. Not the style or philosophy, the quality.

Jonn

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> seriously these guys should make a movie out this, im sure when its out the community will.

GFX-187

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> that is great animation, i hope the game play is just as good.

ndgovenom

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Sun Tzu, Noah, "Unless it's a farm!", and extreme gibbing

Xira

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @BishBashRoss:

There's a buttload of other great games coming out for PC soon that aren't FPS's. Spore, World in Conflict, etc. etc.

matt57488

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Awesome. These TF2 clips rival that of a major animation studio like Pixar. Orange Box is going to be great.

argh

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I can see some sort of romantic relationship between the engineer and his creations.

chiablo

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Is...is that what I think it is? Gibs? :O OMG, if they bring back gibs, then it's definitely a plus! I like seeing my enemies flying off into pieces when being blown up with a rocket/grenade, not ragdoll free-flying effects. XD

Mikolai

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> NO my beloved SPY!

Terrorsaur

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I want to see some videos of either the sniper or the engineer. Always played as those classes in the original TFC.

zlimness

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> hahaha priceless

neojam

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> This has got to be some of the best advertising any game has ever had, if not any product ever. Screw the Geico cavemen, I would actually watch a series based on these shorts. Maybe it's time Steam took a page from Gametap and started showing it's own original series...

cynopt

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Pure win.

splines

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Seriosuly that was the best damn trailer I've ever seen for a game.

Sean Bryant

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Was this trailer really better? I don't think so. I took a gander back at the Heavy Weapons Guy which I haven't seen in months, and it still holds up just fine. I pin them to be equally amazing. Which makes me want more.

Good job Valve, I'm sold.

Danj3ris

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @CheechWizz: I'm glad you posted that link. If it was posted earlier, I hadn't seen it. But it was very informative and entertaining. Something I think everyone here should check out.

Danj3ris

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I would love it if they made figurines for these.

Sell like hot cakes.

Dr.Chocobo

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Fun fact: if you watch the HD video, on the "Meet the Solider" screen, it says "Copyright LOLOLOL".

I cannot wait for this game. That, and Portal. This whole Orange box is going to kick major ass.

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I was really looking forward to the Orange Box; now I really want a weekly Orange Box series on tv, please.

mouroutaru

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I so hope that they do one for every class :D

Sturm Truppen

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> OMFG hilarious. I still play TFC weekly and cannot wait for the orange box.

overtoke

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Valve is amazing. I love them so very much.
Except for Steam. It hates me. :(

That's why I'm getting The Orange Box for the 360. All my favorite games (I bought the Xbox version of HL2 to bypass steam), plus Portal, plus Team Fortress 2. If I could give a somewhat faceless developing studio a hug, I would.

RPharazon

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Dude, that was amazing.

I hope they don't mess up the widescreen, and render the game completely useless!!!

EmTeeZ

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Whoops. Should add, I think this looks friggin' awsome.

BishBashRoss

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @ILOVEGAMES: Yeah, if you play nothing but FPS.

BishBashRoss

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Thank you Valve, for bringing personality to the Soldier and the Heavy Weapons Guy. Shame that they might not have time to do trailers for the other classes.

Draconis

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Love those vids. Hope the game looks as smooth.

Sadly though, some kid in school will actually believe Sun Tsu took two animals on a boat.

LumpsRGood

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @Karttikeya:

Any time i see comparisons to Pixar it's a compliment to both Pixar and the commented item. Pixar have essentially set the bar for computer animated graphics, so when something's compared to Pixar it's a compliment to Pixar's high standards and the article at hand. It's not people comparing Pixar's way of presenting ideas, just their visual standard.

Gofthick

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I forgot if I've said this before, but with CoD4, HL2:EP2 Orange box, Bioshock, Gears of War, UT3, it's a great time to be a PC gamer.

ILOVEGAMES

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Dang, that was face licking good. If the game looks anywhere near that good, it's going to own me.

daschupa

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> My brother is a marine from back 15yrs ago or so, he said that Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" (among other books on warfare) was required reading.

Who'd have thunk it?

ThatGuyOverThere

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> That dude is a lunatic, love it!

Kyle4rmCa

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> How does Pixar come to mind? Because they are computer animated cutscenes with colorful visuals? The comedic styles, camera angles, and dialogue are nothing alike.

Karttikeya

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> muahahahaha.. and muahahahahahah :D

Tei

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> For those of you who love the art direction, and that should be all of you since it's brilliant, here's a video of how they acchieved the unique look of the game

CheechWizz

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> The closest thing to bringing back memories of Goldeneye for the N64. This game is destined to become a classic.

Krytha

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Why are there so many good games coming out whilst all of my money is being spent on Uni.

Damn you industry, damn youuuu!

As for this, well i love Valve's humour and these videos are rife with it.

Gofthick

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Pixar quality animation?

Um... that's actually an insult to Pixar animators...

their animation style/philosophy is completely different than what you see in this trailer.

Torokun

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @matt57488: It's a shot at the Xbox Live service.

Maldron

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Why would you have to pay $50 a year? Also, fuckin awesome.

matt57488

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> Well if I had a choice between playing Team Fortress and paying $50 a year for the pleasure or playing it and not having to pay $50 and still being able to play it. I'd choose not paying. So it may have to be PS3 version of Orange Box for me.

sauvage

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> @killershatner:

To be more precise, it's exactly like The Incredibles. Which is a good thing.

chenry

]]> <![CDATA[Team Fortress 2: Meet The Soldier]]> I love the new art/style direction the game has. It definitely adds more "character" to each of the classes. Can't wait for this to come out.
