Meet the Spy leak

[A Raging Emo]

"What are you? President of 'is Fan Club?"

"No, that would be your mother!"

for those who want to know, the Spy says "my little cauliflower" when picking up the scouts mum's picture.

After seeing this multiple times and browsing forums i have found too many theories raised from dead about pyro being female.

Now pyro could also be scouts mother.

Hope well soon find out.

Excellent! Now we can all finally say that the Spy is truly French! I vaguely remember someone saying that nobody'd know what nationality he was until 'Meet the Spy' came out, and here it is.

Actually, I think he is multiple nationalities because he says "prego" which is "thanks" in Italian.

Well, he is a spy, so he can probably speak with many accents and in many languages. What we hear is probably just his normal accent... or the one he's using now so no-one ever knows who he is.

Erm... he's French, as evident by the cigarette and the French music, and the French accent.... and the fact that he's a womaniser.

"It could be you,it could be me.It could even be *BANG*"

Easily the best one. It makes me think of all the funny situations I have gotten into as a spy.

That is without a doubt the best ever "meet the" trailer ever!

I'm curious if Valve let it 'leak' to keep in theme with the Spy.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Buh... Buh... there was French music when he picked up the photo! Unless the Scout's mother is French... Which I doubt.
And he says "petit chou-fleur"... :3
Iono. I like to think he is French.

True, true. Okay, fair enough, you're probably right.

Pure gold and of course I am always the spy, gentlemen.

The spy rules and Valve is getting better every second with these videos, I am really looking forward to the medic and the pyro, maybe even an entire animated round. Meet the pyro is gonna be hmmmmmmnnnnhhnn.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

These videos keep getting better and better.

I can't stop watching this. It's hipnotic.

 

[Pendragon9]

Alright! Go Valve!

Regarding the Spy's nationality, it's pretty clear he's French, but he has a few other Western European idiosyncrasies that is probably a call-back to the fact that this game is set in a version of the 1960s, and thus "Europe" in spy shows and movies back then were often this hilariously inaccurate combination of nationalities.

Having said all that, this video is pretty much now the high water mark for the remaining "Meet the Team" videos in terms of a seamless blend of action and comedy.

That was really well done, this makes me think TF2 need an equivalent of Halo's Theater mode, it could be really really good. It could produce some good quality stuff, but then again, it could just churn out a torrent of poorly made machinima.
Any who, this was really good. Not sure if it exactly sells the game though...

It does, actually. If you type in "Record xxx" it will record everything in the game. Using "Playdemo xxx" will let you watch from your point of view. Using noclip, as well as codes to remove the HUD and weapons you can turn yourself into a camera. The only downside is you can't record yourself. Using Smoother, it's in-game, you can create camera movements line in the movies.

There is another built in program called Source Theatre, where you can record yourself or someone else many times and integrate each demo file into a full movie, all parts acted out by you. However, it hasn't been unlocked to the public. Any attempts to unlock it have been failures and there is no info on whether it will be unlocked or not.

Ma petite choufleur ... awwww ....

Me and a few guys on another site made a few gifs. Here are a couple of the best ones:

Spoiler: Any Scouts may want to skip this one.

The video is simply awesome. After months of nothing since Meet the Sandvich, I'd thought they'd given up on Meet the Team, but this... this was just fantastic.

Also, to people debating his nationality: the spy's country of origin is purposefully unknown. It's pretty much been left at a vague "European country of romantic language". Simply speaking a French phrase doesn't make him French.

No, but being a walking french stereotype does.

Really? The spys on my team don't surrender at every turn.

You know, there's french stereotypes besides that one. As it stands, he fits the '60s french spy stereotype.
