Double Drop (June 3-10) Hidden Medic Gun

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

- Aom776 17:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

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)

Honestly, it doesnt look like Saxton Hale on the cover, if nothing more than the character on the cover is wearing a shirt. Dr. Blutengott 19:35, 25 July 2011 (PDT)

Wait, what'd I do to that guy? Anyway, it's for sure the Jarate Master comic on the back cover. --SilverHammer 19:36, 25 July 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)

Is it? I dont see any mention of it. Dr. Blutengott 19:07, 25 July 2011 (PDT)

[1]. "Invuln function shorted out after its first use" -- Firestorm 19:35, 25 July 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)

For me, it seemed that the waiting line arrangement is pretty remarkable. Look, Scout is 1, Sniper is 2, Soldier is 3. It is very remarkable because the Team Fortress Classic's class arrangemnt is like this. Could we take note of this?--Mardamien24 03:01, 14 July 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)

Just thought I outta give you the reason for this stuff not being allowed on the article; it's too obvious. Well, to an extent That's just the best way to put it. If you can plainly see something with your eyes, and it doesn't require any more thought than that, it isn't trivia or noteworthy. Might wanna give this a read. SilverHammer 16:31, 12 July 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? Atonement 11:47, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

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)

I don't think it's a reference, they wanted the Heavy to mow down a bunch of enemies, and rather than having a tangle of different classes causing confusion they used several of the same one - the Soldier, being the main generic class. » Cooper Kid (Blether · Contreebs) 16:01, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

That's a possibility, however, if you watch Meet the Heavy, he kills all types of classes. But I could see why they would put several different classes when they are focusing on the heavy, but only one when the heavy isn't the focus. But then again, in Trailer 2, he's the focus and only kills one type of enemy. Atonement 16:45, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

For now, no. It's only an assumption. If you contact a Valve employee and they say it was on purpose, however, then heck yes. Neat catch either way. SilverHammer 16:50, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Alright, thanks for the information! Atonement 18:31, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Possible trivia about the various items in the cabinets?

In the cabinets in the background, there are various items in there, one of them is the Medic's Solemn Vow (seen right next to his arm), and there's also a purse hanging on the wall to the right of his head, should either of these be noted? Also, other than the various bottles in there, what are those other objects? Masterlegodude 21:02, 14 July 2011 (PDT)

 Maybe Well, while the other objects in/near the cabinet are not noteworthy, these two seem to be. I'm not sure about this one; perhaps if we get another yes we can add it. TheTimesAndQueriesOfMyAss 21:09, 14 July 2011 (PDT)

If anything though, it should be the Solemn Vow since the location of the Heavy's Minigun and the Medic's Overdose was noted, thanks for the response though Masterlegodude 05:08, 15 July 2011 (PDT)

The first line

Where is the proof that this is "cyclops"? It sounds a lot more like Schweinhund to me, and it'd make more sense considering the Medic's German background. Thoughts? SpikeX 21:09, 15 July 2011 (PDT)

He's saying cyclops. Demoman has one eye. A lot of people call him cyclops. Scout isn't German. --SilverHammer 21:26, 15 July 2011 (PDT)

Worth Mentioning?

Is it worth mentioning the humor that the Medic puts his surgery gloves on after the surgery? Yaridovich23 09:47, 19 July 2011 (PDT)

It's right up there with mentioning that he isn't wearing his coat during the surgery. In that it isn't. --SilverHammer 09:49, 19 July 2011 (PDT)

No, it's not worth mentioning. Balladofwindfishes 09:50, 19 July 2011 (PDT)
