[...] A Stab At Meet The Spy Which, as everyone pointed out, was too long. Then Meet The Spy actually came out, and was more [...]

Meet the Spy was amazing at being a meet the... video for the spy but this script is amazing as a video about the spy. When Valve release the tools they use to make source engine videos then someone has got to make this. I say someone as my computer can barely run the early source engine games let alone some advanced software.

Meet the Spy was amazing.

I mean, it was action packed, and had some jokes.

"NOW HE IS COMING TO FUCK US!"

It kinda captures the feeling of how a good spy can dominate a team, but a bad spy is easy to kill, on the part where the spy basically says he's invincible.

And it makes him look like a total hard ass. Raping the Sniper at close range, somehow instantly killing a SG, then pulling out his magnum and headshotting the engie, then taking out the medic with his BARE HANDS somehow.

Sure, it wasn't exactly a canon version, but I loved it. My favorite one so far.

I found meet the spy rather disappointing. Technically impeccable, but all of the others released so far sit higher in my affections. Something derived from this script here would have been much better.

Yours is alright, but Valve cannot be topped:

I do like A writer from Valve(just kidding)'s assumption that because Americans won't understand what it means, they won't get it. An expletive in any language is fairly recognisable because of the distinctive way we swear and since it is plainly Italian even the most retarded yank will realise it's just him swearing in his native(?) tongue.

@A writer from Valve(just kidding): Everything you just suggested is the equivalent of feces on the bottom of a shoe compared to what Pentadact wrote. Are you serious in thinking your suggestions help the original script? There needs to be no re-writing done. This should be published immediately if not by Valve, then a third party.

This is what i think:The class vs class part should be cut-out. Also, even though it is cute, sentry personification is out of the question. even in Meet the Engy he did not talk to his sentry like his pet or something. none of that "hunter in the savannah" thing as it is too complicated. to tell the truth, most of it should be cut out except the part about avoiding the blu guys and igniting the medic. some backstab and sapping scenes would be good, although not the way you put it. also, the ending sounds cool but it a bit hard to understand. many americans don't understand "figlio di puttana". a suitable ending could be, the spy stops in front of the demoman, then with a look of disgust, stabs his good eye and raises it at the sky, skewered on his knife. another scene would be the spy to stab a scout on the forehead, the scout pauses and looks at the sun, blood trickling down his forehead. the spy then decloaks, pulls out his knife and walks away. you should rewrite it and send it to valve. gd luck.

He says things in at least three different languages in TF2, Italian more often than French. In fact, I did wonder if the French line that springs to mind, "Merde", could be Italian too - "Merda". It's been a while since it came up. I think the idea, though, is that he's a man of the world with a mish-mash of accents and dialects.

Awesome.
ps.
the last sentence is in italian. I thought the spy was supposed to be french.

The part where you're in the Sentry's point of view is funny. That has to be incorporated somewhere.

Very well written
But like the rest of the people, I have to admit
A bit too long

Great script, though I would have to agree with most other people here that it's a tad too long. And, there's a bit of paradoxing going on: There are 2 spies and 2 engies, 1 spy/engie on each team. In the Meet The universes, there is only one of each class. Otherwise, though, fantastic.

I should comment, though, that the Meet the Spy video might not be the next in line. The pyro pack held the Sniper video.

@Pentadact

Off topic: Do you have any idea about who I should contact about a small idea for Empires total war. If you don't I might look into modding it myself when it comes out.

Basically, the flags look too clean, even in the end stages of the battle. I was thinking as the platoon took more damage the flag appears more damaged, say, a bit tattered. Points would be fairly arbitrary, like 25%,50% strength, etc.

You could probably do moral on it as well, perhaps it gets a bit more muddy or moves a bit lower down the pole. Nothing too strong, I would still want to see which side is which.

The idea is that you that you have a quick glance at the battlefield and see what units are half-dead and close to breaking and where is still holding strong.

Also you don't get 3 men holding a pristine flag while being knee deep in cannon shot and the dead.

Any thoughts or tips on where to look for a email address would be greatly appreciated.

Explain to me again, Tom, why you aren't working for Valve?

Excellent stuff, had me laughing the whole time.
