Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The latest installment in the "meet the insert TF2 character here" series of videos is proof that Valve hasn't even come close to losing its touch.

I don't want to spoil the whole video for you guys, however, I will say that the Sniper's accent was pretty unexpected, but in a good way. Also, pee jars.

In case you missed the previous character videos, here they are: Heavy Weapons guy, the Scout, the Soldier, the Engineer, and the Demoman. Just a few more to go!

[Thanks, ConsFEARacy and Doug]

The sniper has always had the Australian accent... has somebody been living under a rock?

That is awesome. I love these videos so much. I still like the Demoman video the most, but this one is an instant classic. I am, however, still bitter that the new map and medic content is not on the consoles yet.

Yes, apparently. I've only played as the sniper a few times.

I am surprised but pleased that they're still coming out with these, months after everybody has already met the characters in the game.

That sounded much more harsh then I meant it to but I have never really had the opportunity for first post before. Yes I'm lame I know.

I find it depressing that the latter videos are looking so much better then the first ones.

I love how smooth the Source Engine is with the animation. I swear I could watch an entire animated film made with it.

Awesome video! These things just keep getting better and better!

@Grimhound - Huh, I never noticed that before! If you watch in the video, the Pyro launches something out of that weapon as well! Napalm Grenades anyone???

One of my least favorite so far. The "I think his mate saw me" part was pretty good, though.

Lol ive stayed up all night waiting for this... not dissapointed in the slightest! Very funny vid, of course, but i was more impressed at how well they made it, all the interesting things that happened.

As soon as I saw this post, everything in the world stopped. TF2 takes priority over life!

On Sunday, I blitzed the Sniper for the Grey Matter achievement, so I've really gotten a new appreciation for him, even moreso after seeing the above clip. The deal was sealed from the moment I got a headshot on a Scout by shooting him in the crotch.

I love Valve.

Best one yet.

Can't wait for Spy video, my favorite class by far.

They showed the VIP as the bobblehead, hopefully it was a hint that a hunted map is coming soon.

Snipers don't stick their barrels out of windows. They take their shots recessed inside the room.

Funny video. I liked the Heavy Weapons Guy and Demoman the best though.

"I think his bloke saw me.... yep he did!"

This is the best one by far, the scout was kinda weak.

Before I even heard his accent, I always assumed he was an Aussie, thanks to that hat. Nice video, thanks Grim.

Why is the sniper British all of a sudden...?
Sharpless's Avatar - Comment posted on 06/17/2008 20:36

He's Australian, and he's always been that way.

@ Sharpless
Yes, I know he's always been Australian, his taunts I can accept as being an Australian accent, but the accent in the video sounds British to me, and as an Australian, I know the full breadth of accents here, and that is not one of them, its far beyond even the stereotypical Australian accents.
