| [("Meet the Engineer" text appears)
(Cut to the Engineer sitting on his toolbox and playing 'More Gun' on his guitar. Next to him is a kill counter displaying 209.) Engineer: Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. (A gunshot ricochets off the truck near the Engineer; he ignores it.) Engineer: Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. (Two more gunshots ricochet off the truck, close to the Engineer's head. He glances briefly at the bullet holes.) Engineer: I solve practical problems. (The Engineer takes a bottle of beer from a nearby crate and swigs it as the level 1 Sentry Gun near him swivels round and shoots an unseen Heavy.) Heavy: (screams) (The Engineer puts down the beer and continues to play. The Kill counter clicks up from 209 to 210.) Engineer: Fr'instance... (The camera shows a BLU Sniper in the background trying to sneak up on the Engineer) Engineer: ...How am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? (The Sentry Gun spots the Sniper and kills him. The Kill counter clicks up to 211.) Engineer: The answer... (A level 2 Sentry Gun fires and kills a Scout and an unseen enemy.) Scout: (screams) (Kill counter clicks up to 213) Engineer: ...use a gun. And if that don't work.... [A level 3 sentry gun fires rockets] ...use more gun. (The Engineer stops playing. A large explosion is heard and the Engineer grins happily] Unknown Assailant: My arm! (from off-screen) (The Kill counter clicks up to 214. A severed hand (depending on how it looks, it's a Sniper's) lands in front of the Engineer, who continues playing. The level 1 Sentry Gun targets the hand) Engineer: Like this Heavy caliber, tripod-mounted, little 'ol number designed by me... (The Engineer kicks the hand, which is shot out of the air by the level 1 Sentry Gun.) Engineer: ...Built by me... (The level 1 Sentry Gun shoots another Soldier. The Kill Counter clicks up to 215.) Engineer: ...and you'd best hope... not pointed at you. (The camera zooms out from the Engineer as his Sentry Guns continue to devastate the attackers. It is revealed that the Engineer's truck is crammed full of BLU Intelligence, and that his "campfire" is in fact the burning body of a BLU Sniper.) (Various screams) (The Engineer's guitar sounds blend into the ambience, before the piece ends with the Team Fortress 2 ending flourish.) |
Notes
- The titlecard displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the Team" videos.
- The song the Engineer plays on his guitar seems to be a section of 'Someone Else's Song,' by the American band Wilco. The track used in the video was later released in full as a part of the Team Fortress 2 Soundtrack, under the name More Gun.
- The Level 2 Sentry Gun appears to be ejecting Shotgun shells.
- The guitar the Engineer uses has a steel bridge, which is uncommon for acoustic guitars.
- The Shotgun is visible throughout the video behind a crate, leaning on the side of the truck.
- As the camera begins to zoom out at 1:10, two Level 1 Sentry Guns, one Level 2 Sentry Gun, one Level 3 Sentry Gun can be seen already built. This, however, is impossible in-game, as an Engineer can only build one Sentry Gun at a time.
- The kill counter is made out of the back of a Sentry Gun.
- At 0:25, the Engineer is seen drinking a beer called "Blu Streak", despite being on the RED team. Additionally, he is sitting in front of a truck with a BLU logo on it. This seems to imply that the truck, beer, and Intelligence were all stolen from a BLU base.
- At 0:38, a Sniper can be seen creeping up to attempt at eliminating the Engineer. However, when the Sentry Gun fires at the Sniper, a Soldier death sound is played.
- At 0:53 you can hear the nondescript, disembodied voice of a male yell "My arm," followed by what appears to be a dismembered Sniper arm falling on the ground in camera view.
- At 1:10, as the camera pulls away from the Engineer, a dead Scout can be seen draped atop the stack of Intelligence cases.
- At the end of the video, it is revealed that the Engineer's "campfire" is the corpse of a burning BLU Sniper.
