Talk:Meet the Sniper

Scar?

There is a note on the trivia that states the absence of a scar. Whoever put that in must not have seen the trivia for the Sniper, where it states the scar was added to the in-game model after the Meet The Spy video was put online to make reference to the video. Should I remove that piece of trivia? I have no idea who you are, but I really hate you. 01:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone know why this change was made? If so I think the reasoning behind it is worth adding to the trivia.MEDUNN 07:25, 2 July 2011 (PDT)

Never mind, turns out this was false.MEDUNN 05:47, 26 July 2011 (PDT)

Hungry or angry?

I think it makes more sense if it said hungry since Sniper is a killer for hire. Any confirmation on what he said? --Stevejenny 03:13, 23 July 2011 (PDT)

It is hungry, some people are just incapable of hearing accents. Besides, 'angry' would fit the context in absolutely no way, shape or form. I have changed it back. -- Hefaistus - talk 06:29, 26 July 2011 (PDT)

It's most definitely hungry. Sniper has a very typical British accent, in which we drop the 'H' on a lot of words - Hello becomes 'Ello', Hungry becomes 'Ungry' so it's understandable that it sounds like angry. 06:31, 26 July 2011 (PDT)

Just pointing out that the Sniper is portrayed as Australian, not British.(Yes, I know Australia is part of the British Empire, I'm just making the distinction.) --Upgrade 19:48, 20 February 2012 (PST)

Part of the whole TF2 joke is that all of the characters have such terrible accents - I had trouble deciding whether he was British or Australian when I first played as well. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 06:40, 21 February 2012 (PST)

The vans license plate

Should we add that the license plate of the van reads HS 101 (HeadShot 101)? Isakcool 10:16, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

Observational and thus not trivia. -- Hefaistus - talk 10:29, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

That about sums it up, yeah. If I may add, Isakcool, you might wanna check the trivia guide out. We have a pretty strict guideline on this Wiki and it helps very much to keep it clean. --SilverHammer 10:31, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

People Always Undo My Edits

It's bothering me and really irritating. I censor the word "f**k" and some guy undid it. I stated it was inappropriate and it should be censored. I place it again, and a different guy removes it. I'm pretty sure this game is not rated mature, meaning younger people can actually see this. I believe it should be censored. Also, are you guys sure the f**king van isn't a fain blue/green? If you think so, ISN'T THAT BLOODY IRONIC BECAUSE HE LIVES IN A BLUE-PAINTED TRUCK?! COME OOOONN!! — The preceding unsigned comment was added by ErnieTheGreatest (talk) • (contribs) 21:35, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, according to wikipedia, the game is in the 15-18 age range. But still I think the word should be censored seeing how it can be offensive for some people. Also the paint is a faded grayish light-green to me. written by K1LL at 14:42, 21 March 2012 (PDT)

As said above, the game is rated +15/M/+16. The color of his van (which is green) is not an irony unless Valve says so, because otherwise, it'd be just "speculation on the artist's intentions", as said in an undo edit summary. The swear word shouldn't be censored, as Valve meant it to reference the expression. I ask you to read the edit summaries for undoes of your edits before adding them back again or discussing about them.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 14:44, 21 March 2012 (PDT)

Ugh, well come on, IT'S A RATED T GAME AND REALLY KIDS COULD READ IT!!! I mean, stuff like "shit" and "crap" is okay, but please. ErnieTheGreatest 15:38, 17 April 2012 (PDT)

Yes, the swear should be censored, I find it offensive. at least put one of those "roll over to see" things like the spoiler thing. I've seen it used on text before. this is a T rated game as far as I know. I will keep fixing it whenever I see it changed.

The classes, mainly the Scout, swear in the game. Chances are the adolescents' childhood is already ruined.Star=3Horder 08:02, 3 March 2014 (PST)

This is an uncensored wiki - just leave the word intact. (contribs ▪ talk) 11:58, 5 March 2014 (PST)

Swearing in the notes???

come on people, whoever keeps undoing my edits needs to stop. swearing is not allowed, look at this from the terms of service:

"Your online conduct and interaction with other subscribers should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette"

swearing is NOT basic etiquette! Mrlong1235 (talk) 14:38, 6 March 2014 (PST)

It is also written somewhere to not undo undone edits. They are undone for a reason. It is especially bad when you undo an undone edit that was done by a staff member or a mod. As for the "swearing" issue, that rule is meant so that people will use proper language on other users' talk pages and for them to avoid using the language inappropriately in the normal wiki pages. For this page, it is not being used inappropriately. Emrfish6 (talk) 14:56, 6 March 2014 (PST)

FOAD stands for Fuck Off And Die. That's just pointing out a fact, and is not being disrepectful. --Piemanmoo 15:16, 6 March 2014 (PST)

Voice change

It's not mentioned in the trivia anywhere, but his voice makes an odd noise at 1:04 when talking about "who has a lot of feelings", I was wondering if that was worth adding [in case it's a backwards superimposed HL3 reference or something, haha]? Minimuslim (talk) 04:28, 16 September 2014 (PDT)

Not notable. Just a small inconsistency but not enough to note. Ashes (talk) 07:06, 16 September 2014 (PDT)

Possible reference ?

Since I've watched this "Meet the..." video for the first time it was always clear for me, that the "Put mom on the phone" scene is a clear reference to Newgrounds animation "TANKMEN 1.5" (alternative youtube link, because newgrounds seems lately to be down quite often).

How could this reference possibly be missed for so long?

Mastihs (talk) 03:35, 21 November 2016 (PST)

This never was confirmed at all so it would be speculation. Plus that exact phrase can literally be a reference to anything that quotes it. Highly doubt Valve would reference some random animation from Newgrounds. That's just my thoughts. Ashes (talk) 05:29, 21 November 2016 (PST)
