What If TF2 Was Like The Trailers?
Ойындар
As with any good cinematic, the Meet the Team videos take some liberties on what the mercenaries can do. But what if these weren't liberties at all, and TF2 functioned exactly as the videos suggest? Well, that's what I want to figure out in this video. I quite love the Meet the Team videos, regardless of accuracy. I got to go back through all of them for the first time in years, and ignoring the (sometimes rather silly) mistakes, going frame by frame through each of them has given me a new appreciation for Valve's old work. Hopefully this game gets the attention it deserves again.

I just realized for the Soldier avoiding sentries thing: What if it's partially based on facial recognition? If they had programmed the sentries to just shoot at blue targets that were moving then it'd end up targeting things like water, moving props, or the bomb cart, so they'd also have to add a second layer, which would be facial recognition. Since Soldier covers half his face all the time, and the sentries would be based on his un-helmeted appearance, then the sentries wouldn't be able to tell it was him. Facial recognition on its own wouldn't work, since the Red and Blu variants of both teams look exactly the same (minus colors obviously). And no, the sentry didn't kill him in Meet the Engineer, unless they were trying to shoot past him and he got caught in the crossfire (which granted doesn't make the most sense given the angles it was shooting at but whatever, good enough).

Sniper being able to slowly stack stored Jarates in his inventory the longer he camps in 1 spot would be a bit scary. Imagine the enemy Sniper gets in a high, hard to reach spot, owning your team, then he lobs Jarate after Jarate at anyone who dares to get too close
@NobleVampireSamurai

And imagine this: the Jarate effects STACK. And, additionally, if you were hit by enough Jarate from one sniper, like 5 or 8, it plays a 3rd person cinematic of the class shooting themselves in the head with their weapon, killing them instantly as they would rather die than suffer that fate.

There is a comedic turnabout from this, since he can't carry them all a stationary sniper would get the same role as artillery. Team needs to push? throw 15 jarate and let the minicrits rule. Also spies would have a laugh as well because he can't carry them the moment sniper is unscoped, not crouching, not standing still , he would be wasting his stash. Meaning spy targetting sniper would be not only viable but necesary.
Just wanted to point out that, spy who was disguised as scout, touches the briefcase without his disguise dropping while picking it up, so spy would ALSO have the ability to not drop disguises when touching the intelligence since the briefcase moves when he does, he would be able to pick it up while disguised.

I remember when I first saw "Meet the Medic". Back then I had no proper knowledge of Valve or the game, ao I assumed that it had a mechanic in which, as you took damage, your character would summon medical equipment to hold themselves together.
Spy would also be able to touch the enemy intel without breaking disguise too, other than friendly fire. Since the range of level 3 sentries are greatly increased, I think it's also safe to say spy also cannot be targeted by sentries
One thing blue either missed or straight up ignored is that in the meet the spy video, heavy is clearly running in his normal speed while having his gun revved up.

Sadly we had to wait until Titanfall before someone had the brilliant idea of combining an FPS with parkour.
Seeing the Spy stats gave me an idea for a new disguise kit: Attacking while disguised doesn't remove it, instead makes it flicker in and out slightly between the Spy and the disguised class for 2-3 seconds for enemy to just barely be able to see it, it also has a tiny sound que for audibility too. (Only takes effect when not swapping class disguises, so you'll have to be undisguised first for it to work(?)).

So here's a way to prevent overusing it, it only works for 3 shots, and after the 3rd shot it'd act as normal until a cooldown recharges. If that's not good enough, then maybe either less damage while disguised and/or less ammo on pickup.

(Edit: Actually, I just came up with something: About my "after the 3rd shot it acts normally", what if instead it would just undisguise after, and there would be a cooldown needed to redisguise back? I also want it to be after the 3rd because of the "3rd strike you're out" kinda rule). (Edit 2: Also, meleeing would (maybe/probably) just undisguise the like normal, though again I'm not if the Source Engine would be able to do that. I'm probably just being dumb about it though).
i think being able to outrun sentries would be a really interesting mechanic actually. it would definitely nerf sentries pretty hard, but if they could only hit targets moving tangentially to the sentry at say, 375 hammer units per second or less, it could provide a really cool way of fighting sentries and make fighting sentries feel a lot more fair you would still have to move very well, but it could allow for rocket jumping past sentries and to keep demoknight and scout from getting so hard countered by them it would also keep sentries strong against choke points, since people would be moving towards the sentry and not able to easily dodge it

Something to note.. In the original. ( IE, The old Quake Team Fortress mod ) Pyro COULD set the ground on fire. While Engineer could not make more than one sentry, they could make one connected to a wall or ceiling. ( IE, a sentry that is upside down, or one that is on the side. ) Spy also originally had a grappling hook. A few other things here and there as well.
It feels like Medic's uber also charges ridiculously fast in his meet the team video, and seems to last far longer than it should. Additionally, while Heavy himself isn't doing anything out of the ordinary in his video, something that always did stick out to me is that it doesn't really seem like he's getting targeted much, but rather is just mowing down bots/players who are otherwise ignoring him. This could potentially be taken literally to suggest that something is going on to make simply avoiding Heavy the better option unless absolutely necessary. I would say that it could be a massive boost to his health to give him more tanking power, but this is discredited by other videos in which he goes down easily enough so I'd probably lean more towards a buff to his damage. As a final few notes, the Sniper video suggests that round limits don't exist based on how long he's depicted in his sniper tower and Spy's video suggests that the announcer would announce to your team if an enemy spy enters your base.

interesting list. IMO soldier's rockets could be effected by gravity as there don't seem to be any instances of the rockets having more than a single arc to them in the stuff you showed, but tracking rockets do seem more plausible.
If I recall in the Meet the Pyro trailer, the hole in Soldier's chest was produced when shrapnel from one of Engineer's buildings exploded. You can see some sentry gibs in the shot where soldier takes the wound. The sentry's super far away, but the gibs are moving fast. This could entail one of two things: 1. Building blast radius is super far, and buildings do enought damage to at least kill a low health soldier. 2. Building gibs deal damage using physics, the faster they go, the more damage they do to the colliding player. Personally, I'm a fan of option 2.
