"Meet the Soldier" Video Transcript

Notes

  • This video was the first to feature both intro text and the updated group picture at the end.
  • Sun Tzu was an honorific title bestowed upon Template:W (c. 544 BC – 496 BC), the author of The Art of War, an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy.
  • The Art of War track first played in this video, after which it was patched into the game as main menu music.
  • The video uses a modified version of Granary. The RED team goes completely around the building that connects the 1st and 2nd control points into an area that is normally a dead end.
  • So far, a BLU Soldier has died in every Meet the Video, this one included.
  • The titlecard displays "Copyright lololol" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the..." videos.
  • Throughout the video, the Critical hit sound can be heard, despite the Soldier firing normal rockets.
  • When the Soldier hits the Spy in the face with his Shovel, the poster on the wall in the background ironically displays "No Smoking."
  • Before rocket jumping up onto the pipe, the Soldier manages to destroy an Engineer and his Sentry Gun in one hit, despite Critical hits dealing no additional damage to buildings.
  • At the end when you see all of the decapitated heads of the BLU team except the Scout, you can see that the decapitated Spy head is missing a tooth, meaning this is the head of the earlier Spy that the Soldier hit in the face with his Shovel.
  • Due to censorship issues, the end of the video (as the Soldier utters the phrase "Unless it's a farm") was edited. The bone of an enemy Medic's neck has been replaced with a corkscrew, and the meat has been removed entirely. This image can be seen to the right.
