"Meet the Soldier" Video Transcript

Notes

  • The title card displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the Team" videos.
  • The Soldier's helmet appears to have a slight dent in it, visible when he is talking to the heads on the fence, that is not in the actual game model.
  • Sun Tzu was an honorific title bestowed upon Template:W (c. 544 BC – 496 BC), the author of Template:W, an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy.
    • The quote the Soldier recites at the beginning of the video is from chapter 10 of The Art of War.
  • 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.
  • 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 reads "No Smoking".
  • 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 that this is the head of the earlier Spy that the Soldier hit in the face with his Shovel.
    • However, the Spy still has a cigarette in his mouth, despite it being knocked out at the exact same time as the tooth.
  • At the end, when the BLU Medic's severed head falls off the fence, you can see that there is a generic bone in place of an exposed spinal column in his neck.
  • This video was the first to feature both intro text and the updated group picture at the end.
