Pre-Release

In March 2010, Robin Walker revealed in an interview with the KritzKast Podcast that Meet the Pyro will let people see the world through the Pyro's eyes.[1]

In a blog post[2] telling about upcoming events in the game, the TF2 team confirmed Meet the Pyro would be released sometime in 2012, and also released a shot of the video.

In an interview on Gametrailers.com's "Bonus Round" during March 2012, Erik Wolpaw announced that Valve had recently finished the production of Meet the Pyro and that it would be released "soon", along with something else.[3]

A short clip of Meet the Pyro was teased in Valve's video "Perpetual Testing Initiative", showing the part of the video teased in the first released picture. [4]

Video transcript

Notes

  • The title card displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the Meet the Team videos.
  • The matchbox on the title card has a picture of the Balloonicorn on it, foreshadowing the one seen later in the video.
  • To coincide with the release of the last Meet the Team video, Valve released a beta of the Source Filmmaker, the tool used to produce all the movies.
  • The song played when viewing the world through the Pyro's eyes is called Template:W by Template:W. As the Pyro is walking away from the burning town, he whistles the song.
  • The Demoman is wearing the old "dynamite stick" class emblem.
  • The unicorn seen through Pyro's eyes was added to the Valve Store as an inflatable balloon under the name "Inflatable Balloonicorn", and as an ingame item.
  • According to the closed captions on the official video, the RED Scout says, "He's not here, is she?" following Valve's long running joke of not revealing the Pyro's gender.
  • This video was uploaded twice to the official Team Fortress 2 channel. The second version can only be accessed via Adult Swim's website.
    • In the second version, the BLU Spy's cigarette is unlit.
