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 a stuffed unicorn on it, foreshadowing the one seen later in the video.
  • This is the last Meet the Team video, presumably concluding the series. To emphasize this, Valve has simultaneously released 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.
  • The weapon the Pyro is using to kill the Scout is the Scorch Shot which will be released in the next update.
  • The Unicorn seen through Pyro's eyes was added to the Valve Store as an inflatable balloon under the name "Inflatable Balloonicorn" and also contains a TF2 item code.
  • The Demoman is wearing the old "dynamite stick" class emblem.
  • During the outro class portrait, in the third and fourth frame, the Engineer, who happens to stand next to the Pyro, has a worried facial expression.
  • The Axtinguisher can be seen at the end of the video.
  • Unlike the other Meet the Team videos, Pyro's card doesn't just cut away to the film. Instead, the card burns away, and then the film plays.
  • During the last few seconds of the video, you can hear the Pyro whistling to the tune of "Do You believe in magic" the song played earlier during the video.
  • If the subtitles to the video are turned on, the Scout says "He's not here, is she?", leaving the gender of the Pyro unknown.
