Meet the Pyro

This was amazing, I love the Pyro.

Everything I always wondered about the pyro makes perfect sense now.

i'm not a big fan of this game anymore given how hard the community has killed all of valves jokes but i will say, this was amazingly funny, and i still love the world of tf2.

Now that this is out, who's excited for the Robot Chicken Hat!!!

Hey, a trailer for a game that came out 5 years ago. OMG VALVE LOL

How dare Valve continue to support their game, I guess you'd like them to be like nearly every other dev and stop caring as soon as the DLC has rolled out.

Successful troll is successful!

The drugs he must be on.

@AURON570:

It's cuz of the Mask, Optical mask makes him look at the world as he does, if you log today on tf2 u get goggles that let you view the maps as he does.

dude (or dudette) ... you kinda missed the point.

That is some top of the line LSD right there. But, yeah Pyro!! My fav character.

So fantastic.

If you guys are going to fabricate context clues from a trailer that shouldn't be taken as anything more than what's on the surface - a really clever and hilarious character introduction - you should be more thorough. The scout totally says "HE's not here, is HE." Not that any of that means dick, because, you know, it's a fucking video game trailer and shouldn't be over analyzed.

I kinda got from this that the Pyro is an "it".

Besides. The game itself has already confirmed this. When it rolls up Pyro stats, there's a 50/50 chance of it display "why not give him a shot" and "why not give her a shot". I don't think this is meant to be proof of any kind, it's meant to fan the flames on the redundant speculation. Pun not intended.

Exactly. If anything, I think it's Valve sort of trolling their fans by somehow being even more vague about the true gender of the character. I think it's really stupid that anybody gives a shit, but I think it's hilarious that they all inevitably grab the bait when Valve starts messing with them.

Also, these videos have all been amazing and now I'm sad there aren't anymore to look forward to.

it's also been revealed through closed captioning that the scout says "he's not here, is she?"

@ShaggE: it's in the game right now, although it is just a skin for the default flamethrower.

Time has been added.

This was pretty great.

Like all the "Meet the Team" shorts, this is very amusing. But after all the hype it's good but not a standout one. For me the three best are the Sniper, Medic, and Spy.

Diablo 3 hats confirmed for TF2?

So.. pyro is either insane or always on drugs?... or has a great sense of humor? I don't know whether to slow-clap or face-palm...

Best one. Hot damn. That was awesome. When can we expect the rainbowthrower in-game, I wonder?

Unicorns!

They've left specific clues in all the Meet The.. videos on upcoming content.

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of this.

that was fucking scary

Man, Pyro has been taking waaay too much Nectar, amirite?

@Eujin said:

I'm still betting Pyro is a girl. Especially with the hints like The Heavy stating he fears no man.

And then Pyro takes off the mask, and it's Miranda Otto and she says, "I am no man", and stabs him in the face.

@TheHumanDove said:

This video is sexist. It implies pyro loves rainbows and happy things and pyro might be a girl.

or pyro is smoking some bad things.....

@jakob187: First world problems.

So the Pyro is completely insane.

I do prefer Meet the Medic but this was still pretty great.

Pretty good, Meet the medic was better though.

@Tuggah: not as far as I'm aware.

now it makes seance ...

I thought that Valve said it was a girl?

Every time I see one of these it makes me want to play this again!

reality is what we perceive it to be

So with the rate that these movies come out, it means Half-Life 3 has a release date of November 2016?

This was so great. I'd forgotten that there was still one left.

Well I'm a Pyro and that's fucked up.

I'm still betting Pyro is a girl. Especially with the hints like The Heavy stating he fears no man.

Also Valve licensing music for anything is a first I think.

Absolutely brilliant. Valve, other than your terrible inability to release a game with "3", I really do love you.

Glorious. Well done, Valve, you magnificent bastards.

@FMinus: Because the captions on youtube are never wrong.

Not if they are on the official Valve TF2 page of youtube :D

that was so grate

pure insanity, the best.

That was absolutely terrifying. No other Meet videos have showed such....malice. The head tilt at the end as he torches the sniper is an amazing touch.

@FMinus: Because the captions on youtube are never wrong.

Am I still the only one who likes these little trailers more than anything to do with the game?

100% worth the wait
