Meet The Team Videos were the only reason why we knew how Demoman was a good Demoman
If demoran is as good as he is when drunk, imagine what he can accomplish sober.

Here’s an example why I love Tf2:
I played a community match earlier today where the enemy team was entirely demos who kept spawncamping, people on my team were angry kids, and this may sound bad but then I see a spy cartwheel out a window (rag doll) and it was beautiful.
its the little things
+Sonicdash 8 When the enemy team is spawncamping demos, its time for an all out dance party.
I had a similar experience on Swiftwater in casual. We were on BLU and everyone of of us was playing as Spy. Then we lost and got switched to RED and went all Pyro, then all Heavy, then all Huntsman/Fortified Compound Sniper and oddly enough we fucking won. The reactions from the other team were awesome.
xD
:( i got Kicked.. cause i only healed heavies. That was a fucking lie, CALL MEDIC If you fucking need me. I AM NOT A USELESS SANDBAG! I AM A VALUABLE MEMBER TO EVERY TEAM I AM IN!!! right? :(

Here’s how I got into TF2:
-Once upon a time, I was me, looking at Gmod videos (2012), I loved them back then, I couldn’t stop
-I find a video called “Team Fabulous 2”, and I love it (Godspeed Kitty), I found the cinematics at the beggining looked cool, and liked the voices and everything, I didn’t know those characters came from an actual game
-Days later, I search the video again, but under Team Fabulous 2 there’s a “meet the heavy” video
-I click it, out of curiosity
Epic story
@@lolomatico3000 very epic

People always talk about TF2 as a "dying game". I disagree. It's definitely aging, and definitely less popular than it once was, but it's still got a very active community. Honestly, one more big update (maybe coinciding with the last comic, which could be any day now really) would boost it back up to at least 2014 levels I bet.
And when I say "always", I mean I got back into this game in 2016 and people were saying it then. It's been a very slow death, if that's what you're calling it.
TF2 is dying. Slowly albeit. The game is receiving less and less content updates and less and less people are actually working on the game. Player numbers aren't a great way to determine if a game is dying or not either. You can look at a game like CS 1.6. The game is considered dead even though its still in steam's top 100 games. The game doesn't receive content updates at all and hardly ever any bug fixes that aren't because the engine was updated. CS 1.6 is in a zombified state, where the game is dead but the players themselves are keeping it alive. There is 0 official support for that game from valve. It's entirely community based. TF2 is currently heading into the same state. In the next 2-3 years content updates will more than likely slow down to a halt(even more than they are now), outside maybe the obligatory "community content packs" that they quickly bundle together every year for the main holidays. I love TF2, I truly do but people need to accept that it is dying. It is ancient in the gaming world. It is a relic of what influenced many game makers and companies to follow. TF2 set the modern F2P model. TF2 achieved what companies could only dream of. Don't say TF2 isn't on it's lifeline, we all know it is. Just remember it for what it was. In 20 years from now, when the game has no players anymore, pick back up the game and remember all the fun you had with it; not how valve "let it die".
ze game woke up with no updates, AND THE PLAYER BASE WAS NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN! HAHAHAhaha... anyways, zats how I lost all my tf2 revenue.
could be any day now huh?
@@MythicTF2 oh you were so wrong
Still waiting for that final comic...
I should admit, that these Meet the series made me play TF2.
Humor, Character, the heart of the game itself proposed perfectly with those. Who can hate it, really?
I don't think I can see another game full of characters not trying to be """""edgy"""""" yet damn charming before my life ends.
And let's watch 4:46 once again. Makes you want to play TF2, no matter who you are. Come on, who isn't?
Nice video though.

I remember watching the shorts back in 2010 and Scout appealed to me the most. I played him then got yelled at by my parents for playing TF2 at a severely young age. Four years later, a month after the Love and War update dropped, I started playing it again since I felt I was old enough. After that, I fell in love with the game and I'm still active. If it wasn't for the shorts, then I would have never played TF2 today.
Who's your main? Scooty Booty?
parents amiright?
I will send a red spy to deal with your parents
This video made me realize why Overwatch Shorts fall flat in comparison
They are *extensions* of the characters instead of TF2 being *introduction* to the characters.
I showed all my favourite TF2 shorts (Meet the Team, Expiration Date and End Of The Line) to my sister for one sole reason: you can discover the game from them
Since Meet the Team focuses on a specific character and only that character, you don't need to know the other characters most of the time to understand, while Overwatch you're like "what is what who is who I don't understand anything" because they don't actually focus on one character but a bunch of them, leading to the shorts being much harder to showcase outside of the community
That's why TF2 is magical, you can present the stuff to basically anyone and they might be interested too instead of confused
Agree and Tf2 shows the name and some interviews of the characters and they show their personalities to the viewers as well. Overwatch just shows everything but not the characters themselves nor show "who and what is the character" to no one
Blizzard: We can make our characters have special unique personalities. (Makes random character gay)
So true
How
Blizzard be like: *yknow what? GEI*
WHEEL. OF. GAYYYYY.
Mrs Pauling is gay so that argument is kinda invalid.
Actually despite what people think we still placed higher in PC gamer than CS:GO for ranking in 2018.
I think there's one thing that spread the Meet the Team videos more than anything else on UA-cam: Their use as sources in UA-cam Poops and YTPMVs
Other games: “Destroy the robots that took over the world”
TF2: “Destroy the robots or else they’ll steal our jobs”
And "destroy those robots to get funny gold weapons"
I dont think i would have known what tf2 was if I didnt play the 'Meet the Medic' game mode in surgeon simulator
*187,500,000 views all together? Heh...*
*Just wait for Meet the Gabe Newell.* Edit: Oh wait that’s a thing already.
I’m not gonna lie, those videos got me interested in the game. Then the comics and gameplay got me to stick around because these are just more of what I enjoy....the characters.
I think the reason why people are ok with the meta the team videos and not modern trailers is that the meme the team videos (mtt for short) do actually explain things. You mentioned it yourself but with most of these modern trailers you can’t actually figure out what they are supposed to represent. The characters don’t say anything about the game and the short moments that are shown are meaningless due to that. They look pretty but say nothing. While mtt does show you things. It shows you the characters, play style and the best ones even tell a simple story.
Just look at the master piece that is meet the medic. You get the story of these Uber powers, see medics basic kit and learn his personality.
I had already played for TF2 a while at the point but whenever TF2 released the bread update along with that sfm, it felt pretty amazing to be there.
Probably my favorite update so far :p
*Bread Update*
I'm calling it that for eternity now.
*insert expiration date joke here*
Ah, yes. The *bread update.*
If it wasn't for meet the heavy, I would have never picked up tf2, spent hundreds of hours in it, and it LITERALLY saved my life near suicide, and I met a couple people in the game that became my very best friends.
wow, what a difference a great game can make, good seeing you around with the living

I didn't play TF2 until 2015, but I'd definitely say that the Meet the Team videos were one of the major reasons TF2 stood out from the crowd of shooters to me. Even with all of the shorts already made, save for the jungle inferno and whatever else valve has up their sleeves, it was really something to see the TF2 shorts, and my early time playing the game really did feel like playing AS the Team. Hearing even common voicelines for the first time was neat. Long live TF2!
Well heck, now I have to go rewatch the series
Love your Videos Skymin! I would like to mention without the TF2 shorts there would be no Saxxy Awards or Amazing fan made SFM’s.
TF2's soundtrack might actually be the best i have ever heard (including minecraft)
Have you heard don’t starves soundtrack spring cleaning and winter’s feast theme are my personal favorites
Talk about horseless headless horsemann more .
It's headless horseless horseman
Horseless headless horseman
to be honest, my joining TF2 was exactly the same as you Skymin. until tf2, I HATED FPS's with a passion. I thought they were all just boring point and click adventures... but aye, tf2 gave me a reason to learn that wasn't the truth... I mean shure, I was into fallout beforehand.. but I played fallout mostly for the story, and I tended to play in third person.
I wish I played tf2 sooner. I watch alot of the meet the videos, Sfm videos and Gmod animations whenever i felt bored, I started playing on Jan 1, 2019.
I got a long way ahead of me.
You'll enjoy TF2 for life!
If you ever get bored, you can play wacky gamemodes in the Community servers with deathrun and much much more!

So the Sandvich has a personality?
(Note: If she said something about this, I accidentally reset the video, so I didn't watch it all.)
JeffTheVortigaunt of course. He’s a loose cannon, but he’s a damn good cop.
I remember being somewhere around 8~12 years old and I found meet the Pyro and Medic vids in my youtube recommendations. Once I got back to school a few days later, I spread word of it with my friends at how fun a class based shooter was, and we immediately picked our favorites or "mains" (I went for Engi, one of my best friends liked Sniper, and my other best friend chose Scout. Random fact, he was actually a very fast runner between our circle of friends so I saw how he gravitated towards them)
We never got to play the game until a year or so later, but hell I had no idea what I was doing and I still had fun. I even recall playing on a Mariokart server and a VSH server.
Until now TF2 still has a great place in my heart. I may have moved on to other games, but I will never forget one of the games that shaped me. Hell, once I get my new PC, I'm gonna return to TF2 as a side game, at the very least.
Edit: Okay you briefly shown Paladins as a similar game and that is actually one of the main games I play right now and it's because of, yep, TF2's influence. The main reason I liked Paladins from just seeing it is because it reminded me so much of what I loved about TF2 (that even Overwatch managed to not win me over):
1. A colorful fantasy world where the characters have goofy personalities. TF2 and Paladins may have different styles, but I think it's easy to see how I can go from enjoying playing as a Large Funny Russian Man to playing a Large Funny Spanish Man. I mean, sure, OW has more fleshed out characters, but Paladins voice lines remind me so much of TF2. The fucking large spanish man even compliments how "hot and spicy" he is while being burnt to death.
2. Customizable Character Looks and Playstyles. I mean, skins are inferior to hats, but I still like the way they both can completely go from either Edgy 13 y/o looks to a My Little Pony lookin' man beast. But just as important, the loadout system. I always liked using the Banners for Soldier, it swaps his weapon slot for an opportunity to use a team buff ability to help the team. I also saw that game literally called "Loadout" and was kinda interested, but it was too over the top and not the same way TF2 was. Paladins is similar to TF2 where you can choose a loadout for a character and play your own way. You want a hypermobile jumpy boi? Either equip the Rocket Jumper or Gunboats or go pick certain cards to make your Drogoz fly infinitely.
3. Free to Play Steam Game. Minor point, but it made it easy to transition from one game to the other.
I think it shows how much legacy TF2 has that Paladins cites TF2 as its biggest inspiration. So much so that they have a TF2 Engineer skin for their turret building dude as well! And yes, I do love using both Engineers from both games.
To think that TF2 is still actively able to compete with OW and Paladins just goes to show how it is a timeless masterpiece, and I'm glad to have been part of that history.

Loving these kinds of videos Skymin. Keep it up!
A pretty good analysis on the importance of the Meet the Team shorts. While I haven't played TF2 in a long time, I still remember having a blast and the shorts really did help heighten that experience. Meet the Engineer, Meet the Medic, and Meet the Soy was what hooked me onto the game because how the shorts depicted each character.
Also, wasn't expecting to hear a jazzy rendition of Gwyn's theme during the video.
I heard about tf2 before i saw the meet the team videos, but i started playing the game when i saw meet the scout
I actually learned about TF2 through Wrath's TF2 reviews.
This was a really nice video. I enjoy this type of content of yours a lot. keep up the great work :D
Love these kinds of videos! The videos you’ve been making lately are amazing! Keep up the good work!
For me, I watched Piemations and I came across the meet the team videos, and I loved them, so I watched the real ones and I loved them, and by that time jungle inferno rolled around and I started playing and loved it ever since
TF2 has and likely will always be the only good way to have crazy characters in a video game.
I came back to your channel yesterday (my birthday) after subbing i think a year ago after watching a couple of your videos. I Love Your Content! Keep It Up!
Yeah this comment is late but I finally picked up from you UA-camrs like you, Lazy Purple and Sound Smith. Watching you talk about it, Lazys “How it feels” series and Sound Smiths shenanigans were VERY intriguing and I finally got into it. Thank you guys for shedding light on this for others to find.

not gonna lie, i was introduced through Meet The Amazing, not valve's videos
We need a counter for how many times you say “game”
The meet the team videos weren’t my introduction to tf2 but I have fond memories of me and my friends quoting the videos at any opportunity we could, like how we would devolve into just saying “Sniping’s a good job mate” in response to anything one of us said
The Meet the Team shorts were my first exposure to the game. I still haven't played it yet, but I've written three fanfics about it and am working on a fourth. I can say from my own experience they're hugely important in giving people exposure to the game, characters and world. Also the characterization the shorts give the classes is incredible.
i just restarted after writing this and woooooow
When I was younger, I used to watch Meet the Team and Gmod videos because I thought they are cuts from some movie or just random shorts.
About a year ago, I saw a lot of TF2 memes. Decided to rewatch the shorts, found out TF2 is a game after reading the comments.
If it wasn’t for Meet the Medic, I wouldn’t be a die hard TF2 player. My favourite game EVER. I’m new to the game but I love it. I’ve been exploring mercs’ characters since early 2010s so yeah I know a lot about these dudes. I’m so happy to be in this community. Love from Pyro-Medic main.
Keep it up! Good job uploading in 2019! TF2 is awesome!

Skymin: *tries to jump onto roof*
Clip Tool: im gonna have to stop you right there
The Meet The Team shorts are amazing introductions to TF2 because all explore the characters personalities and have a clip of their abilities.
Meet The Heavy has the clip of him shooting the whole map, Meet The Scout shows his speed the whole time.
Meet The DemoMan shows him setting bomb traps, Meet The Medic shows him healing everyone and ubercharging. Even Meet The Engineer shows him building sentries.
Great vid!!
Really liked the Jazz Version of lord of Cinder
I actually remember years ago watching Meet The Heavy / Demo / Soldier with my Dad on UA-cam (he was really into CS:S at the time, even though that's like... The only game I've ever seen him play), but these videos got me s hyped up and super into the game that I was so excited to get it for my Birthday that was coming up later that year (May 2008), and just... There really has never been a game like it because of all 11 of those years I may have missed 1 year where I've at least played the game once since I've owned.
It's weird to say you've been able to experience almost the entirety of TF2's life (except for like super early stuff like Demoman's grenades being able to explode on contact when it's a roller), but essentially being able to grow up alongside it from the day the Scout update was released, to the old idle programs (I uh... Never got a Cheater's Lament), to the day where everyone felt the dread of the F2P "invasion" (even though looking back now it basically saved the game lmao), TF2 just has that perfect something to it. ✌️
Watching the MVM trailer made me fall in love with the game and it looked amazing hopefully it will stay alive a little longer
I just found your channel and now i'm binge watching it
Meet The Spy was actually my exposure to the game.
Anonymoose's "We Like To Party" helped me discover this beautiful gem among all genres.
This whole video really feels like a intro to a video
the engineer being on top of a silo is supposed to say that you need to build in stupid places to achieve peak comedy
The Meet the Team videos are defiantly what made me try the game. While I only played for around a dozen hours, I can appreciate how TF2 has impacted gaming.
I researched them over and over again as a smol child not understanding anything except the Pyro video cause that was the one that caught the most interest in me at the time.
Who knew I would rediscover TF2 during quarantine (Thanks Stupendium) fall in love with Pyro instantaneously and now in a month have subscribed to new creators who love this game, read all the comics, and actually play TF2?
I find this funny since it popped up in my recommended after the whole unusual community market crash lol ether way great video I know what you talked about in the video didn't have anything to do with trading and the actual market still find it funny. Loved the vid
You are wonderful, love hearing your voice
Meet the Team video pulled me in to this amazing game and community
A friend got me into TF2 but the "Meet the Team" shorts are what got me invested in the game and its characters. Even though I got bored of the game a couple years ago (had played for 5 years by that point), I'm still interested in content related to its universe. If it weren't for them, I honestly don't think I'd have been interested in TF2 as long as I have been.
