    Not necessarily, Meet the Heavy came well before he had his own update and so did Meet the Sniper.

    The releases of the "Meet The" video's are seemingly random.

    The video page certainly has a spot for a Medic and Pyro video. I suspect they're incoming once they think up a good idea for them.

    And yes, I suspect that they'll keep the Pyro video for the last one and maybe, just maybe, show his/her face.

    I imagine the primary reason that the videos aren't out yet is because they being saved "for a rainy day" so to speak.  Everytime Valve releases a video, it gets talked about on every single video game site.  They can string this out as long as they want, creating free press for a two year old game.  So whenever the hype dies down again, they can release a video and get people excited.  Doing a trifecta of video, game update, and a free to play weekend probably generates a ton of sales.  Pretty good marketing plan if I do say so myself.

    I sincerely doubt this. I think the mystery and speculation as to who the Pyro is will live on forever. Like Master Chief, we shall never see the match-happy prankster's face.

    Also, I imagine it would be rather difficult to create a "meet the Pyro" vid due to the fact that everything he/she says is completely unintelligible (at least to these ears). As for the Medic, I'm sure there's one in the works (or already completed), and Valve is just looking for the proverbial bread basket to get a little thin before they release it to "re-hype" TF2.

    They have tried to work on both videos at length before. They just feel that the results they gained were not satisfactory, and resolve to create a video that truly captures the essence of that character. We'll see the remaining "meet the" videos once valve has created ones that they are satisfied with.

    I can really see a meet the pyro. starts off with a kid staring into a fireplace. the flames reflecting off his face. someone is calling his name, but he is to entranced the camera slowly zooms into the childs eyes, and the flames reflected there. just as it zooms almost fully in, it strats to zoom out, and the pyro is now fully grown. the flames reflecting of his mask now.
    queue the pyro chasing around for a bit, and then an almost interview style, where he is asked questions, and we hear him and almost understand him (like kenny from southpark) he obviously gets more frustrated as the interview goes on, because the interviewer doesnt understand his mumbled replies. Ends up with the pyro torching the interviewer.

    I know it needs a bit of work, but it can be done.

    They said themselves they still would be working on a Pyro and Medic...they aren't releasing at any specific interval even though it may seem it. The Sniper was a released a long long time ago, and the Spy just recently. Its not like both were released at the same time for the new update or anything.

    I guarantee they will have the pyro take off his mask, and under that mask will be another mask. 

    I'm looking forward to both.

    I know this is a goddamn fifteen month old post, but I figured I'd reply anyway: I read an interview with Robin Walker a while back where he said basically what Bass said.

    I see the practice of Necromancy is still strong despite the recent laws.

    I'd rather see new "Meet The.." instead of comics and whatnot.
