Notes

  • The weather vane in the beginning is seen being magnetically attracted toward the robots.
  • This video takes place on a modified Viaduct.
  • The Scout is shown using the Sandman at 0:35 but later changes to the default Bat at 0:53 then back to the Sandman at 2:20. In the final scene, he has a Scattergun and no bat.
  • A picture of the Spy and the Scout's mother from Meet the Spy can be seen on the table to the right of the chips at 1:08.
  • The Demoman is wearing the old "dynamite stick" class emblem.
  • The Engineer's Shotgun changes during the midst of the battle to the Frontier Justice at 2:39 and sounds like Father Grigori's rifle from Half-Life 2.
  • The Soldier has a Canteen during the poker match between him and the Demoman at 0:49. He is later seen wearing the canteen on his belt at 2:44.
  • The Demoman is given a Shotgun by the Heavy, despite not being able to use one. In the next scene the Heavy has the Shotgun on his back and the Demoman has the Grenade Launcher.
  • The Giant Robot seen at the end of the video is the Rapid Fire Soldier.
  • The BLU team helps the RED team fight the robots, though only the RED team can be played in Mann vs. Machine.
