Leak

"Meet the Spy" was leaked on May 17, 2009 due to a YouTube bug which allowed iPhones to view videos marked as "Private." This inspired a series of posts on the official blog, and Valve awarded themselves a "Corporate Achievement" called "Welcome to the internets," with the description "Fail to understand what Private means on YouTube." In the officially released version, one of the alert panels reads "Leaked Video." It originally read "Lost Memory."

Notes

  • In Meet the Spy, the Spy disguised as Scout was able to touch the Intelligence briefcase. Unlike in-game, the Spy was not forced to drop his disguise and take the intelligence.
  • When the Red Spy kills the Blu Medic, it is possible to see an Half-Life 2 model box.
  • The alarm bell and signal board at the beginning is an "Alarm-O-Tron 5000". These alerts are displayed below. The alerts in bold display the specific warnings which were activated and lit during the video.
Emergency On Cap Intruder Alert Is Fired BLU Demoman Depressed
All Clear RED Scout Exploding On Fire BLU Engineer About to Explode
Vaporized Team Update New Mission On Break BLU Sniper Is Drunk
In Surgery Needs a Ride RED Medic RED Heavy RED Pyro Defenestrated
Smells RED Sniper Drowned Behind You Is a Man Owns Base
Backstabbed Stole a Car BLU Spy Found Dracula Is a Woman BLU Soldier
Again Hit by Train RED Engineer Lost Briefcase RED Demoman Above You!
Is a Robot Look Out Sabotage Needs Ammo On Toilet Electrocuted
BLU Scout Has Evil Twin Red Spy RED Soldier Pushing Cart In Base
RED Spy BLU Medic Sleeping Wounded Needs Backup Exploded
Hungry Leaked Video BLU Heavy BLU Pyro Smothered Jarate
Has Briefcase Outside Base Needs Roommate Mangled Opened Briefcase Lost Dracula
    • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board gives a hint about who the RED Spy is disguised as. Three consecutive alerts read: -BLU Scout - Has Evil Twin - Red Spy-
    • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board also continues the question about the Pyro's gender. On the boards are the alerts: 'Is a Man' 'Is a Woman' and 'Is a Robot'
  • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board makes an appearance in the map Double Cross in a locked-off room beside the Intelligence room.
  • The numpad attached to the door leading to the Intelligence room has a dirty '1' button, while all other buttons are clean. This is due to the password 1111.
  • The video takes place in a modified version of the 2Fort map, with most of the action occurring in BLU's Intelligence room.
  • On the corkboard next to the filing cabinets, a photo of Saxton Hale (CEO of Mann Co.) can be seen.
  • The French phrase spoken by at the end is "Ah, ma petite chou-fleur," literally meaning "Ah, my little cauliflower." In French, the phrase is used as an endearment toward loved ones.
  • The Sniper is seen wearing the Trophy Belt. This was a teaser, as hats had not been revealed when the video came out. This was one of the several hat teasers during this trailer, including the Heavy's Football Helmet which can be seen early in the video on top of a filing cabinet in the Intelligence room.
  • The RED Spy (disguised as the BLU Scout) twirling his knife, the BLU Spy twirling the same knife and holding his Disguise Kit, the BLU Engineer reaching for his Pistol, the BLU Sniper holding his rifle, and the BLU Medic swinging his Bonesaw all are doing so as if they were left-handed. This may be a nod to the addition of the left-handed viewmodel option that was added during the Spy vs Sniper update.
