For a little insight on heavy's chess move at the start. He belives a leader should be on the frontlines and be an example. Thats why he uses the king, the ruler to attack first although its not a valid move in chess
@@ManicObsevationsScout's "run forward" strategy is quite effective, as he is faster than most other people. The only class in TF2 that can keep up with him is another Scout.
It is terrifying just how much momentum a speeding train can have, let alone one that's had time to build up speed while going downhill from a mountain *and* with the locomotive running at full-tilt. The shock from an impact against something it can't overcome almost certainly could, at least theoretically, throw the cars around in that manner... it just doesn't because that kind of force usually just causes the train to buckle under its own weight from the force, where it effectively disintegrates into itself or collapses like an accordion being closed.
@@syweb2 I know that. Scout disconnected it, albeit accidentally. It was the fact that it was full of anvils is what I was talking about...Last car, full of anvils. Regardless of whether the Payload exploded or not, the anvils were probably intended to act as additional impact, or perhaps as an insult after the injury.
For your confusion on which class is which (the confident soldier or heavy question), look at the shoulder of the character, they have unique badges to signify who they are: Rocket: Soldier Fist: Heavy Bomb: Demoman Fire decal: Pyro Medical: Medic Hermes Shoe: Scout Crosshair: Sniper (Spy doesnt have one, but he is signified with a knife anyway) Wrench: Engineer.
One thing to understand about the TF2 mercenaries is that they may all be quirky buffoons, theyre neither incompetent nor unintelligent (except soldier and to some extent scout) and all of them are good at what they do, otherwise the Mann brothers never would have hired them
11:35 Land Rover from the 60s would not move that fast even on a downhill. But at 15:15 the Land Rover was supposed to be the British Equivalent of the Jeep, or a more superior and updated version of it, so the wheel hubs are definitely gonna keep the wheel on there even with a camper back and 1970s-80s aftermarket parts.
It's also the same mobile camper that Sniper was driving in "Meet the Sniper." To consider it as it's likely to be heavily modified (without *looking* like it on the outside) would probably be a good guess.
In regards to the train cars flying through the air, bear in mind that was a train moving as fast along the tracks as it possibly could, coming to a complete stop in like, 3 seconds, losing the majority of its speed instantly due to the impact. That puts tremendous force on the entire length of the train, and trains aren’t solid along their entire length.
Using "Vet" as the short version for "Veteran" has me confused at first, thought you meant Vet like Combat Veterinarian, which very much did and do exist
Now that you've seen this video, you should play on the map that goes with it - Snowplow (a control points map with a train that is technically a payload). It's in the "alternative game modes".
And the map is multi-stage. Beginning is snowy and wintery while the second is bright and sunny. I like the look of the map but the way you go about the objective tends to be a little confusing considering the usual format of Attack/Defend game types and Payload.
One thing that is often misunderstood about Heavy. He isn't dumb... just slow. (Almost as if there is an intentional joke there... Also... "He isn't dumb..." is a direct quote from his description.)
You see, there's two ways of looking at this chess scene right here, the obvious one is9:30 "Haha, Heavy dumb, he don't know how to chess works", but also notice how he used his King. The most important part of the board to save his pawns from being attacked. This shows us that Heavy would put himself in danger to save his friends, so he's generally selfless. Which would align amazingly with his sacrifice at the end. Where he volunteers [21:45] himself to stand in the trail tracks to slow down the train as much as possible. It wasn't until this points that Medic understands what his move meant. Then he swoops in with an Ubercharge to help Heavy stop the train aswell. [23:20] [25:13]
Fun fact: In the TF2 Canon, Heavy is actually one of the more intelligent mercs, holding a PHD in Russian Literature, and the Engineer is the proud owner of 11 "Hard Science" PHD's
Losing most of your body heat through your head has actually been proven false, in the original test where the myth originated from they put soldiers in a winter environment with proper covering on everything but the head. As a result, most of the heat was lost through the head as it was the only part of their bodies that was exposed. How you lose body heat depends on the surface area that is exposed.
I think the Sniper scoping was suppose to be him Scouting the area with his sniper rifle, but either way, he does shoot while standing with a sniper rifle.
"in canon they're all idiots"... Heavy canonically has a phd in russian literature, enginieer has 11 phds in "hard science", the medic "had" a medical license. i mean one third isnt really all of them but they all aren't idiots.
Not to mention, TF2 was originally set during the kind of era where chicken winging was one of the more popular shooting stances so it makes sense that Sniper would use it.
23:00 Trains can actually move fast enough to turn railcars into missiles! The Hinton train disaster in Canada had one of the tanker cars go flying through the air as a result of the crash and the cars' momentum behind it.
Fun fact regarding the subject of mountains and their effect on weather: The presence of mountains can actually block rain-carrying clouds, causing the areas downwind to become deserts.
Oh it definitely could if it was sent hurtling down a mountain with zero brakes. The weight of it combined with the downhill movement would lead to some fucking scary momentum.
Counterpoint on Sniper's posture He's from the country that turned into atlantis, grew up in Australia which has Australium, and he's an expert mercenary, he can do it.
this whole excellent valve supported animation for a few cosmetic items and a single game mode and map that valve removed from circulation for "being too confusing to new players" despite it just being a form of time limited control point.
Half right, the train launching itself would not happen on flat track but going from say 9000 ft elevation to 2000 means it has a lot of time to pick up the speed to crash like that, plus a large main line diesel locomotive can get going at 90 mph so a train going down a 2 percent grade it could potentially get well over 120 mph. For good examples look up cajon pass runaways, 3 in total and one demolished a neighborhood much like that train did to the red team's base.
My two propositions: 1. Pootis engage - really great TF2 SFM video 2. The other TF2 game - Titanfall 2 Very futuristic FPS that makes me curious what your commentary would be :)
Please watch voice over of the TF2 comics done by The Beard, THEY'RE SO GOOD (theres different types of tf2 comics) *TF Comics* _(pretty much lore and a more realistic team fortress 2 universe)_ *Update Comics* _(Comics made for updates, who would've guessed)_ *Saxton Series* _(Saxton Hale is cool enough to have his own series)_
The Sniper wasn't aiming to shoot, he was aiming to scout. You see it all the time in movies with characters using a long range scope to see something in the distance.
Fun fact about denying use of rails to enemy combatants: I believe during the American Civil War and WW1, armies would basically create these heavy plows that they'd attach to locomotives and drive them backwards as they retreat through an area. The plows would obliterate the ties connecting the rails together after the locomotive passed over them, rendering the track entirely unusable at a fast rate. It lacked the subtlety of simply removing the spikes, but for denial of service it was undoubtedly effective.
Canonically speaking, none of the mercenaries save Soldier are actually idiots. Heavy acts pretty simple, but he has a bachelor's degree in Russian Literature, Spy is basically French James Bond, the Medic is still an accomplished doctor, license or not (remember, he stole a patient's skeleton, and they STILL WOKE UP), Engineer is, well, an engineer capable of constructing automated defense turrets, Demoman makes and fires his own explosives, all while drunk and somehow not killing himself ("One wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch, and KABLOOEY!"), Sniper is a cold and calculating hitman with great respect for his own workmanship, Pyro is... well, either majorly psychotic, on LSD constantly, or being tricked into fighting by his goggles actually making him see those little girl fantasy visions, nobody seems sure on that one. Scout is basically a kid from Boston, so not the brightest bulb in the box, but not a complete idiot either. Soldier, on the other hand, has always been a harebrained idiot, and has only been getting worse since joining the mercenaries' war because he refuses to drink bottled water like everyone else, and instead continues drinking lead-contaminated tap water from the lands they're fighting over.
I've seen a few reaction videos to this one & there's one thing that no one has mentioned...We all saw Pyro's paint job on the side of the shipping container, but no one seemed to point out that this was the same container that had all of the rubber duckies. This much is confirmed shortly before Scout disarmed the payload; Pyro's duckies were in the first container behind Heavy's both back in the Blue base & again when Scout was aboard the train. The duckies were right behind the payload, so that's how the duckies got so badly burned. I'm fairly certain that other people figured that out but I haven't seen anyone else mention it before me. After Heavy climbed out from under the wreckage, he demonstrates his prowess in Jujutsu on the Spy, which can be defined as "Involuntary Yoga" or "The gentle Art of folding clothes while someone is still wearing them." Let us take a moment to appreciate that this video ended with a cliff-hanger...For Sniper, it's literal.
As far as the comics Canon at least, all the mercs are the bottom of the barrel, last resort sort, but as dumb as they may be, they are just competent and lucky enough to always win. Which, considering the founder of Mann Co....honestly just fits.
Those reds at the beginning are not in the snowstorm as the blues are. The sniper was probably suing his scope as a form of binoculars. The Winnebago is Sniper's personal vehicle. And that was way over dramatic of a train wreck and poor sniper.
I think it's cp_snowplow. It's suppose to be added in the End of the Line update, however it ended up being cut from the update due to the map being "too confusing for new players," which is where that meme originally started. If I remembered correctly, it was finally added to the game again in the Gun Mettle update as it's own separate gamemode.
So the idea that humans lose 90 percent of their heat through the head is a misunderstanding of the actual study. In the 1950's the US Army wanted to test cold weather gear and set up a test where soldiers stood outside in full cold weather gear minus any headwear and pointed a thermal camera at said soldiers. They equipment was 90 percent effective compared to the uncovered head and over the years the story mutated into losing 90 percent of all body heat through the head
@@ScampiTheSighted think of it like this they can be hit by trains and smashed by giant hammers and die while ubered the reason why when they are ubered and get hit it bounces of unless it explodes
@@therobotfish6715 I don't think there's a lore explanation for what can and can't kill you while ubered, only a gameplay one. You can fall from an insane height and take zero damage, but also fall from a tiny height and instantly die because it's meant to be an out-of-bounds areas and the mapmaker put a trigger_hurt at the bottom.
Fun fact, during WWII the US did work on developing a pigeon guided missile for targeting ships. The project was even revived after the war before being cancelled once microchips reached the point of being usable for that purpose.
Sad thing is, this could of, could of been an amazing update for Team Fortress 2, with how cool/amazing the film 🎥 and animation was done. However Valve was like, ehhhhhh no, let’s make this shit.
17:00 I believe that they actually put the train into accelerate and then wanted to blow up the controls so the train doesn't stop accelerating. (yes I realize how this is realistically very unreliable, but Blu team had very little to lose mostlikely) 22:30 it is also possible that the Red base is incredibly underprepared as they probably didn't have time and tools to utilize your idea.
27:32 The pidgons here are carrying a bomb, as in the earlier scene where solider is planning the train attack, there seems to be a plan for a pidgon bomb, so this is a backup plan I suppose.
7:25 (joke) sniper jus has so strong gorilla grip he can just aim perfectly with no vibrations from his hands even when standing, and doesn't fell recoil
the whole "you loose most of your body heat through your head" is actually a misinterpretation of the experiment, you loose the most heat through exposed skin the head is just the easiest thing to uncover
Please read the comics or listen to the great dub. You'll find some interesting and hilarious character moments. Heavy not actually being a moron and being intelligent and competant. Sniper's thoughts about his job. Pyro having a sucessful company. Murdering bears. A lot of neck snapping. Tom Jones. Baboons.
i am once again asking for your ~financial support~ reaction to rimmy downunder's arma 3 videos. Airborne Guardsman Land Hotter than D-Day is a good one to start with
20:30 i've heard of a similar tactic used by environmental activist groups to nonviolently sabotage trains carrying oil tankers. These days, train tracks have sensors to determine whether a length of track has a car on it. By using a standard jumper cable you can get at any autozone, you can clamp two of these sensors together and fool a conductor into thinking that their train is about to collide with another one. If you paint the jumper cable white and hide it in the snow well enough, you can hold up the entire train for hours while they search for the source of the problem.

So the idea that humans lose 90 percent of their heat through the head is a misunderstanding of the actual study. In the 1950's the US Army wanted to test cold weather gear and set up a test where soldiers stood outside in full cold weather gear minus any headwear and pointed a thermal camera at said soldiers. They equipment was 90 percent effective compared to the uncovered head and over the years the story mutated into losing 90 percent of all body heat through the head
Fun fact Uber charge only makes the skin indestructible how ever your insides can still be crushed
Does it though? Ubered mercs can shrug off bullets and melee strikes to the head no problem.
@@ScampiTheSighted think of it like this they can be hit by trains and smashed by giant hammers and die while ubered the reason why when they are ubered and get hit it bounces of unless it explodes
@@therobotfish6715 I don't think there's a lore explanation for what can and can't kill you while ubered, only a gameplay one. You can fall from an insane height and take zero damage, but also fall from a tiny height and instantly die because it's meant to be an out-of-bounds areas and the mapmaker put a trigger_hurt at the bottom.
@@ScampiTheSighted good point
Fun fact, during WWII the US did work on developing a pigeon guided missile for targeting ships. The project was even revived after the war before being cancelled once microchips reached the point of being usable for that purpose.
i like how the cat didnt give a fuck when the railcar with anvils stoppe inches away from it
I liked The moment you saw pyros painting you gave it a tactical opinion, explaining what you liked about it.
Sad thing is, this could of, could of been an amazing update for Team Fortress 2, with how cool/amazing the film 🎥 and animation was done. However Valve was like, ehhhhhh no, let’s make this shit.
Unless I am crazy, he did acknowledge the #1 sniper and #2 sniper mugs
17:00 I believe that they actually put the train into accelerate and then wanted to blow up the controls so the train doesn't stop accelerating. (yes I realize how this is realistically very unreliable, but Blu team had very little to lose mostlikely) 22:30 it is also possible that the Red base is incredibly underprepared as they probably didn't have time and tools to utilize your idea.
You didn't react at all to the fact that they actually used the secret pigeon bomb shown earlier.
27:32
The pidgons here are carrying a bomb, as in the earlier scene where solider is planning the train attack, there seems to be a plan for a pidgon bomb, so this is a backup plan I suppose.
Just curious, What happened to your mic? You sound like you're underwater now lmao
The Snowplow map in the game is based on that cinematic, is a bit confusing, but you should try.
He doesn’t know soldier from the heavy. He doesn’t have the qualifications to react to the end of the line Sfm
Day # (I lost count) of recommending Krunkidile's "Team Service Announcement" series
The train was probably moving at 90 mph.
And that is from where the map cp_snowplow begins. The BLU base burning in the background.
If you want a little help, the icons on the sleeve tell the class
Context heavy lived in Russia so he is used to the cold
Well, it was traveling down a mountain slope for a while. That would generally build a shit load of momentum.
7:25 (joke) sniper jus has so strong gorilla grip he can just aim perfectly with no vibrations from his hands even when standing, and doesn't fell recoil
the whole "you loose most of your body heat through your head" is actually a misinterpretation of the experiment, you loose the most heat through exposed skin the head is just the easiest thing to uncover
This man makes 14 minute long videos into 29 minute long videos.
Please read the comics or listen to the great dub. You'll find some interesting and hilarious character moments. Heavy not actually being a moron and being intelligent and competant. Sniper's thoughts about his job. Pyro having a sucessful company. Murdering bears. A lot of neck snapping. Tom Jones. Baboons.
Thanks for the facts! I always wondered why we evolved to have hair on our head and lost it everywhere else
Damn, I forgot how good the music is in this one.
Paul looks like captain Price with that moustache
So a combat veteran is really going into tf2, even though like cod and other game's had better graphics... The community salute you
And I like how there are still no sniper mains angry at his "Little lecture"
Do you see it, Paul? Do you see the POWER of SFM?!
23.00 at this point, they might as well have let it explode
he should react to those l4d2 sfms series by Beejie Bean that takes place from dead center to the passing
i am once again asking for your ~financial support~ reaction to rimmy downunder's arma 3 videos. Airborne Guardsman Land Hotter than D-Day is a good one to start with
* intense climactic battle scene *
*pauses*
"by the way guys my shit is green"
20:30 i've heard of a similar tactic used by environmental activist groups to nonviolently sabotage trains carrying oil tankers. These days, train tracks have sensors to determine whether a length of track has a car on it. By using a standard jumper cable you can get at any autozone, you can clamp two of these sensors together and fool a conductor into thinking that their train is about to collide with another one. If you paint the jumper cable white and hide it in the snow well enough, you can hold up the entire train for hours while they search for the source of the problem.
Sniper is not a normal human, none of the mercs are. If Scout can hit a bear into a mountain, Sniper can shoot while standing
