Tribute to Rick May/fr

«

Rick May, the inimitable voice of the Soldier for thirteen years, many shorts and countless updates, passed away this April at age 79. We were lucky enough to work with Rick many times in the studio over the past decade. A quick-witted and kind-hearted collaborator, Rick endowed the character with a trademark bellow and bootfulls of idiotic charm. The Soldier wouldn’t be the Soldier without him. — Site officiel de TF2

Avec le Patch du 1 mai 2020, Valve débuta un Hommage à Rick May d'un mois. Rick May, qui succomba à des complications reliées au COVID-19 le 8 avril 2020, était l'acteur qui a prêté sa voix au Soldier. Durant le mois de mai, l'image de la classe sur le Menu principal sera celle du [[:File:Main_menu_soldier.png|Soldier], et la musique de fond habituelle est remplacée par Saluting the Fallen, une interprétation de [[1]], un hymne funéraire traditionnel de l'armée américaine.

Valve ajouta aussi des statues du Soldier sur les cartes officielles les plus actives. Il s'agit de statues de bronze du Soldier donnant un salut militaire sur un piédestal de marbre avec une plaque sur laquelle est écrite "Rick May / 1940 - 2020 / C'était une campagne d'enfer fiston!" Les statues émettent aussi des répliques aléatoires du Soldier.

Répliques émises par la statue du Soldier

"That was a hell of a campaign, son!" "Tonight, your ass will be visited by three ghosts: my foot, my other foot, and a ghost!" "I love the smell of a kicked ass in the morning!" "All men gave some. Some men gave more than some." "TEN HUT!" "AT-TEEENNN-TION!" "Medals for everyone!" "Stay frosty!" "Friendship is magic, creampuff." "Time to inform your next of kin!" "Charge!" "Forward!" "Give 'em hell, boys!" "Last one alive, lock the door!" "Attack!" "Hehehyaaa!" "Maggots!" "If you know what's good for ya, you will run!" "You are scum! You are nothin' but a buncha' cowards!" "I am going to enjoy killing each and every one of you sorry sacks of scum!" "You sissified maggot scum have just signed your death warrants!" "If God had wanted you to live, He would not have created me!" "I am going to claw my way down your throat and tear out your very soul!" "Take your lumps like a man, Private Twinkletoes." "You are all weak. You are all bleeders." "Each and every one of you will be sent home to your momma' in a box!" "We have you surrounded, at least from this side!" "I joined this team just to kill maggots like you." "Do not look at me, I did not ask you a question!" "Surrender now maggots and you will not be harmed!" "The last word out of your sorry mouth will be Sir, and it will be loud!" "This is my world. You are not welcome in my world." "You are a spineless worm! You are a mistake of nature! You are walking vomit!" "You are a maggot hatched from a mutant maggot egg!" "I am going to strangle you with your own frilly training bra!" "You are all maggots, you scum sucking fruit baskets!" "Today is a good day!" "You've done me proud, boys!" "Everyone of you deserves a medal!" "The worm has turned, gentlemen!" "Booyah!" "Hooah!" "That hat is not mercenary-issue, son! There is no room for fashionistas in the art of war!" "Son, your hat is writing checks your head cannot cash!" "That is not a hat, that is an excuse to kick your ass!" "That is not a hat, that is proof that you hate America!" "Do you call that a hat? That is a pile of nonsense!" "Son, your fashion sense has gone AWOL!" "All gave some! They gave a lot! We didn't give an inch!" "Sun Tzu's got nothing on us!" "Sun Tzu might have invented the War, but we invented winning them!" "I am a courage-filled machine of war!" "Hah, we did it!" "Oorah!" "I've got three words for you: U! S! A!" "Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting for in a tank!" "This tank runs on blood, guts, and glory! The guts and glory I will provide! The blood is where you come in!" "If you do not like losing to an enlisted man, do not pick a fight with one!" "Dear other team: please reach into your ass and give me my foot back! You can have it back next game!" "They said we couldn't do it! They said we shouldn't do it! They begged us not to do it! And we did it anyway!" "All gave some! Some gave more! But only one gave nothing, the winner!" "Pick up their asses, gently men. Put them in a tub with scented candles. Tuck them into bed and kiss their asses on the forehead. Because we have kicked them all over this map and they are devastated!" "Sun Tzu said, 'Winning a hundred wars is not the best thing. The best thing is to win without fighting at all.' Men, Sun Tzu is an idiot! And if I ever see him, I will punch him in his mouth!" "This is my rifle, this is my gun! You maggots stink and that's why we won!" (Reference to the Rifleman's Creed) "Boots on the ground, boys!" "Let's show these muffin-tops what the wrong end of a Rocket Launcher looks like!" "Men, you are about to become someone's new worst nightmare!" "Any man comes at me airborne, I am turning into a meat cloud!" "Let's make some pain, boys!" "Drop your bibs and make some gibs, maggots!" "Everyone, please stand! [singing] God bless America, land of...America...and so forth and so on...Move out!" (Sung to the tune of "God Bless America") "War is like a game of chess: with guts on top of it! And instead of chess pieces, there's just brave blood-hungry sons-of-bitches who love war!" "Everyone, take a knee! Dear God, we are sorry we angered you, please stop helping the other team! Over and out!" "A winner knows when to fight and when not to fight! Answer: Never! Stop! Fighting!" "Men, George Washington never lost! Jesus never lost! Patton never lost! If winning's good enough for those war heroes, it's damn well good enough for us!" "[singing] I love to win, by the dawn's early light!" (Sung to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner") "[singing] I love to win, so I guess we should win!" (Sung to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner") "Now that is what I wanna see!" "And that is how you do it, men!" "I just tore you a new chimney, Smokey Joe!" "Less talk, more fight." "Pain is weakness leaving the body." "Down and give me twenty!" "If I have to crack some skulls, I will."
