The game is set in the sixties, when a lot of Australians did retain an accent that sounded very British. There you go.
I think it,s pretty much confirmed:
he talks with a Australian accent (he says Mate instead of Bloke)
he fights with a Kukiri (if he was a British guy he would be fighting with a Cricket bat)
the SYDNEY sleeper.

My biggest issue with TF2 is that there are two Americans. Why? So many stereotypes to choose from! It would be better IMO if the Engineer or something was a Canadian. Think of the Canadian stereotype Valve would have used: Hairy man, wearing a plaid shirt and generally being all serious and tough. It would be hilarious and awesome.Superior Mind said:

Have you even played the game much or read any of the comics? They live in an alternate 1950's where there is actually an element called Australium that lets Australia be the most technologically advanced culture in the world. Clearly they aren't trying to exaggerate anything.Lonely Packager said:
Amusingly, you're both right. He's considered from Boston, but has more of a Brooklyn accent. At some point Valve claimed this was because his mother was from Brooklyn, or some such nonsense. (Basically they messed up the accent and defend itviking97 said:

I can understand seeing the Scout and Engineer as Americans, because well, they are, but aren't you forgetting somebody? A certain class who enjoys his psychotic war flashbacks so much he lives them out through his day to day life with extreme gusto? Carries a rocket launcher around?intheweeds said:
He's only about as American as they come.
OT: The Sniper is Australian. There is no argument.
Oh come on. It really doesn't always have to be about that, does it? Not all Americans are ignorant, stereotyping assholes. And by stereotyping Americans, you are doing the same thing you criticize them for.Harlief said:
If I'm reacting too harshly to you post, I'm sorry. But the exaggerated hate for the US really bothers me sometimes.
OT: Yes, he is Australian. There are theories that the Pyro is a British Gentleman, due to the way he runs when defeated and the monocle and top hat items.
Just in case obvious troll isn't that obvious: He talks with a stereotypical australian accent, he evens says mate every two minutes. Pretty much all his equiment is named after and based on (stereotypical) australian things. There's no way in hell that he is an refined gentlema from the UK.
NO. There is a MASSIVE difference between the various British accents and the Australian accents.obex said:
The voice actor is from the US and married to Ellen McLain. He did several of the voices in Half-Life 2. Odessa Cubbage had a cheesy accent, too.Lukeje said:
