Double Drop (June 3-10) Hidden Medic Gun

Should there be a mention of the hidden (Medic?) weapon from the double drop picture?

It is a Medic Syringe Gun, but... WHEN will it come? Davo 13:09, 23 June 2011 (PDT)

Well now we know that its the Overdose so any chance this will make it on the Meet the Medic page? - Aom776 17:07, 1 July 2011 (PDT)

What is the Pyro reading?

At the end of the movie, can anyone tell what magazine the pyro is reading? I can not get a good look it with my monitor; is it Hat-wearing Man? – Jmudge 20:00, 23 June 2011 (PDT)

Looks like a Saxton Hale comic to me. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by SilverHammer (talk) • (contribs) 03:54, 24 June 2011 (PDT)

I think it's the Jarate Master comic. Davo 12:24, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

It's definitely a Saxton comic, pause it and look closely as the shot pans across the characters. I don't know if it's Jarate Master on the back or not. However, kinda smarts when you spend half an hour pausing, rechecking, referencing links etc. and then SilverHammer wipes all your work in an instant. I'm CERTAIN it's a comic we haven't seen, even if you disagree on it being Saxton. Check the comics page. My edits were fine, worded to not be 100% declarations of truth, and time-consuming. Unhappyface. I like contributing to the Wiki, rarely get a chance though. Not fun when anything you do is cut. Polendino 15:09, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

Concerning the Heavy's Ubercharge in the "Meet the Medic" video.

Clearly the medic was using the quick-fix, but he was still able to ubercharge the heavy. Should that be mentioned anywhere? Loser390 20:52, 23 June 2011 (PDT)

It's explained on the Uber Update page.Davo 12:25, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

Should the Heavy's disappearance be noted?

At 2:27, he's seen going towards the truck, however, the camera goes to the Demoman in the wheelchair and as he falls out of his wheelchair from the rockets, the Heavy is no longer seen anywhere near the truck he was heading towards and as the camera shows the Demoman getting up, he's nowhere on the map at all, he then reappears taking cover behind the truck as the Scout passes by the camera Masterlegodude 02:35, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

Waiting Room Line

The ticket dispenser at the end of the video shows 11, so there is an unseen 10th waiter. But to me it would seem that there are two more unseen waiters. In the video, you can see that the Soldier holds a ticket with 3 on it and I think the Spy holds a ticket with 9 on it (the ticket is rather blurry, so I can't see it exactly). Scout is 1. For the moment, let's presume Sniper is 2, Pyro is 4, Engineer is 5 and Demoman is 6. Then who are numbers 7 and 8? I doubt the Heavy and Medic, since Heavy already has had the operation and I find it very doubtful that the Medic takes a waiting line ticket when he is the one doing the operations. Even if he pulled a ticket for himself, then there is still one number unaccounted for. I might be reading too much into this, but to me, the math is just off. -- Hefaistus - talk 09:46, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

I think you're reading too much into it. -- En Ex _(talk) 09:49, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

I probably am, aye. Maybe I should spend less time on S(P)UF. Thanks anyway. -- Hefaistus - talk 09:55, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

I think it's worthy to note. Conspiracy theories are part of the game in dissecting Valve content. Chronomaster 10:04, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

Jumper's Jeepcap

You can see one of the BLU soldiers wearing it. I'm going to add it, but if it's a problem, I apolgize. Applesauz 10:32, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

There's also a Frontline Field Recorder. Adding that too. Applesauz 10:40, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Timeline

Meet the Medic is one of the few things we can see are definitively in the "past" as it shows the invention of the Ubercharge. It seems to also occur after Meet the Sandvich as the Sandvich is half eaten. Meet the Director shows the Sniper, Heavy, Scout, Soldier being filmed in that order around the same time by the Director (Meet the Medic and Spy don't have to be during this time as they aren't interviews.) The Meet the Medic footage already existed at that point, as well. So, right now, we're looking at: Sandvich, Medic, Sniper, Heavy, Scout, Soldier. Engineer and Demo can't really be placed at that time. Just some thoughts on when the videos might occur. Webrunner 12:51, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

The refrigerator from Meet the Sanvich =/= the refrigerator from Meet the Medic. Yes, both contain half a sandvich and a bottle of beer. So what? Just because your neighbour's refrigerator has the same contents as yours does not mean that it is suddenly your refrigerator. It is pure speculation, nothing more. Not convinced? In Meet the Sandvich, the floor is wood. In Meet the Medic, it's ER flooring. Meet the Sandvich has 3 bottles next to the sandvich. Meet the Medic only one. It is a reference at best, but I doubt it is more then just model reusing.

Log story short, we can't say anything about Meet the Sandvich. I wished I could comment on the rest, but I wouldn't be able to do that without placing the Engineer Update and the WAR! Update before Meet the Medic, chronologically speaking. But Meet the Director does indeed seem to be placing Meet the Sniper, Heavy, Scout and Soldier in that order. -- Hefaistus - talk 13:23, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Another timeline thing that occurred to me: The video shows the first ever Ubercharge, so it definitely takes place before any of the updates, because the standard (no longer prototype) medigun has been in the game since release. However, one of the BLU soldiers can be seen holding the Equalizer, which he did not get until the WAR!. So we have a minor contradiction. Should this be noted in trivia? Zoon-li 15:48, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

And that is what I meant with my previous comment. The Frontier Justice also appears, meaning that both the WAR! Update and the Engineer Update would take place before Meet the Medic. Not trivia worthy, if you ask me, as it can be explained by Valve wanting to make the video a bit prettier. -- Hefaistus - talk 15:54, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Perhaps a reference to an old trailer

Was looking around aimlessly today and I came across Trailer 2. I watched it, curiously, and noticed that the Heavy mows down many people, or rather many soldiers, just after 0:50. From what I've watched, this is the only other video I have seen with the Heavy killing mass amounts of soldiers. Perhaps I'm looking too far into this (in fact I probably am), but maybe Meet the Medic, specifically just after 3:10 in the video, is a reference to this old trailer?

It is--Piemanmoo 11:58, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Should it be added somewhere into the page then?Atonement 12:00, 12 July 2011 (PDT)
