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

 



During my preview of the new Team Fortress 2 map, gametype and Medic weapons, Valve showed off the new "Meet the Scout" video. Before watching this video, I always thought of the Scout as the weakest member of Team Fortress. Now, I'm totally afraid of him. Seriously, don't bonk with the Scout.

"Meet the Scout" is the fifth in the Meet the Team Fortress 2 soldier series. It started off with the Heavy Weapons guy and his love of his giant gun. Then the Soldier came around and showed us he liked to collect heads. The Engineer showed of his musical skills after that. And then we were left off with the alcoholic Demoman.

More Meet the episodes are planned until all of the soldiers in Team Fortress 2 are showcased. What did you think of the latest "Meet the"?

[Thanks, timdabrat!]

Anyone who fights with a bat is alright in my book.

Is it just me, or was that shorter than any of the others?

The reason it takes Valve so long to make these is because a) They put a whole lot of time and effort into writing and scripting and planning them out, as you can see, b) they're still working on Episode 3 and Left 4 Dead and updates to the engine and updates for TF2 and everything at the same time and finally c) It takes forever to do anything at all in the Source engine. The work load involved with making just a simple custom "Scout sits down and eats a sammich" animation could take a few bajillion man-hours, and you can see there's tons and tons of individual animations in that one little video. The only way they could do these faster is by rendering them outside the game engine.

I thought it was pretty good, but isn't it kind of late? We've been playing TF2 for months now.

Faster than a speeding scout; more powerful than the baseball bat; and able to leap tall buildings with the double-jump. Yep.
