The charm from the IRL portion is something that could only be done by this wonderful community. I swear it felt so nostalgic and "early 2010s" and just full of love.
2:38 i absolutely love how full of expression and style this shot is, the way soldier just holds his entire inventory trying to pick his next weapon is just perfect and then the smirk
A tribute to Rick May, he was the best, even the greatest we had in the TF2 community, may his soul lay to rest, and let it fly high with its rocket jumps into the stars.
@@transcommiegrindfreak every single community has the edgy kids group, but your average casual player is far more likely to join a conga line then murder everyone in it, thats what OP meant
Rick may voiced the soldier. My favorite character in all of media. In all of fiction. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the voice. The laugh. The insanity. The rocket jumps. The craziness. The Americanness. The fact that I suck at him. I DON’T KNOW-!!! All I know is that...I’m looking forward to this.
2 little nitpicks I have though, 2 minor, pathetic, stupid little nit picks is that the definition of zoo is in the “c” section of the dictionary, and the page where the definition of zoo is, is paper white rather than the slightly pale yellow pages of the dictionary. But this could also imply soldier just glued it onto the dictionary page and since he isn’t very bright, glued it on the wrong section.
I am so happy to have been able to contribute to this project with such talented people! I can't wait for the premiere! Many thanks to the TF2 community, and to Rick May, rest in peace.
I had to double take when the 3D section started, and triple take when seeing the IRL. Not just one, but 3 fantastic, charming reimaginings of meet the soldier really makes me feel spoiled. Massive, massive props to all that took part in this project, every one of you deserves a medal
This deserves wayyy more attention than it already has! Such a heartwarming project that shows how dedicated the community of the game is even after a decade and a half! Great job! 😊
i dont know whats better, Soldier flying off from recoil, Heavy flipping off the rocket seemingly undamaged then immediately crumbles from limb to limb
4:34 - number one ! Memes aside, this tribute is totally golden. I’m most thankful to all the animators, as well as actors, who were dedicated enough to take part in this masterpiece. *thank you.*
Absolutely incredible, so proud to be part of this community! Rick May has left a huge impression on so many people, this is a fantastic tribute to honor him and his work!
Hope Valve see this and realize “hey wait, people DO care about TF2, and the fan base is indeed talented!” In all seriousness this is really cool. Nicely done animators!
I've left the team fortress 2 community for a while now, nobody knows me of course but I used to play it a lot when I was younger, and seeing this video reminded me of rick may, and I immediately watched it, not only to honor the man but to just enjoy the sweetness of love the community of tf2 has for its actors and the game itself, I love to see this kind of stuff in communities and to see this video made from multiple people putting time and effort in to make animations real life or not, brings a tear to my eye, I love this community.
This is really cool! Kudos to all the people who contributed animations and recordings to this, it’s truly a highlight of TF2 fan-made content. RIP Rick May
The one at 1:01 with the BLU soldier getting replaced, I recognized as a reference to an old shitpost-edit from back when SFM was released. I wonder if I can find it

That was just great
It's even funnier since Solider is cononicly illiterate

wow. I didn't notice. that's epic
And at 2:08 he flips the demoman that he shot at off
and the fact of the shotgun too gives it away

Zoo [zu]
