We absolutely loved the short vignettes put together by Valve to advertise the different classes featured in The Orange Box's online multiplayer offering, Team Fortress 2. The scotch-slurping demoman, the six-string pluckin' engineer -- not only did they get us hyped up for one of our favorite first person shooters of last year, they brightened our otherwise dreary existences. Now, we know that most of you are familiar with the whole crew since the release of Orange Box, but in honor of last week's release of a standalone version of TF2 for the PC, Valve released what we assume will be the last of their advertisements for the game -- introducing the Scout, who apparently has the social graces and equipoise of a Real World cast member. Enjoy!

Is it just me, or does the video preview picture look a little "disturbing" when taken out of context?

If by disturbing you mean hilarious then yes. :D
Though I am somewhat confused as to why they decided to mirror the image left to right instead of how it is seen in the movie.

He reminds me of "Vince" from the Shamwow commercials!
I'm one of those sad people that don't have the orange box yet, but Best Buy here in canada has the PC version on sale for $30! Hopefully i can get over there this week and see what i've missed out on with portal and TF2.

This one hopes his intro is done like a tribute to 007 movie series. The spy walks during the "Meet the" intro and fires at the screen. That would make my day.

1. It is the same length as the Soldier/Heavy/Engineer movies. The Demo movies was longer.
2. There is no way this is the last one.

Some people have been saying some of the classes are underpowered here. TBH, if you know what you're doing, none of them are really underpowered.
