Team Fortress 2: Meet The Sandvich

Meet Team Fortress 2's "Edible Device" and shotgun replacement, the Sandvich.
Valve really missed a good opportunity for a bad pun here by not calling it "Meat the Sandvich," but hey, it's still pretty damned funny. What's next in the series of loony videos? Meet the Bullet? Seriously though, we'd watch them all. Heck, just throw a TF2 cartoon on the air as part of Adult Swim and we'd be glued to our sets.

Man, I sure do love these videos and this game.
Tiptup300 @ Aug 20th 2008 1:23AM
I love the videos and overall appeal of the game, but the game was kind of stale to me. Although I only got one game to work ever and it's the ps3 version so the controls sucked.
I should probably rebuy the Orange box for the pc. I really wish TF2 had a campaign. They really have great characters.

EAT SOME MORE! Wahahahaha!
NukeAssault @ Aug 20th 2008 1:10AM
Awesome!
Now tell me... How does one punch out ALL of someones blood?
BPM [MSN: BPMdotEXE @ hotmail.com] @ Aug 20th 2008 1:44AM
Like this...
[punches out all of NukeAssault's blood]

That was an amazing killing Spree.
Blazur @ Aug 20th 2008 1:03PM
Mr.ESC, I believe I was in a game with you last night. Or at least someone with the same icon as yours. What is your Steam name?
tidefan94 @ Aug 20th 2008 1:11AM
Even though i'm kind of pissed off that they didn't do another meet the class video (cuz though are amazing). I really like the sandwich. I think it will make the heavy be able to be fully independent from the medic (even though they will probably still do better together).
ScallionN @ Aug 20th 2008 2:23AM
It'll be even better in the Arena map. Limited heatlh won't be a problem when you have an infinite supply of sandviches.
colin @ Aug 20th 2008 1:11AM
tf2 episodes on adult swim would be great. heres my vote.
jpcx00 @ Aug 20th 2008 1:12AM
Hmm... I dont get it
Deozaan @ Aug 20th 2008 3:25AM
Yeah... I don't get it either.
theturtle363 @ Aug 20th 2008 1:04PM
and they were never heard from again
Mike M. @ Aug 20th 2008 1:17PM
What's not to get? Heavy is almost dead, gets sandvich, eats it, the hunted becomes the hunter. It's very simple really.
Negativecool @ Aug 20th 2008 1:14AM
I seriously love the constant updating of this game. The organge boxfor the PC was the best gaming purchase I've ever made. Period.
The only problem I see, having not played TF2 in a bit, I don't havea single idea of what the hell this is.
The download is pretty sizable though.

MY BLOOD! HE PUNCHED OUT ALL MY BLOOD!
ogvor @ Aug 20th 2008 2:01AM
That was totally my laugh out loud moment.
rivaldi22 @ Aug 20th 2008 2:42AM
Agreeeeeed x10.
Obie @ Aug 20th 2008 1:22AM
Holy shit! Goddamn I love Valve. haha
Hansel @ Aug 20th 2008 1:23AM
The sandvich is great for when there's not a medic around and you're close to death. It'll also save you from potentially fatal flamethrower blasts that would kill you before you could run to a medpack/resupply room or find a medic. I never used the shotgun so it's a win-win situation for me. The KGB fists and the new minigun are both pretty cool as well. I can't stress how cool the new minigun is against rushing pyros, they can't get near me anymore since you kind of push them back.
Pretty much, unlike the Pyro, I am using all 3 upgrades since the upsides outweigh the downsides so much more than the pyro (the air blast thing is actually really nice... and the shotgun is actually useful.)
tidefan94 @ Aug 20th 2008 1:47AM
I have to agree that the air blast is pretty useful, but if you get behind them with the backburner its an instant kill.
Hansel @ Aug 20th 2008 2:04AM
Right. My point is, there seems to be far less of a downside to the Heavy weapons than the Pyro ones. (Granted, the 25% more bullets you have to put into someone makes a difference sometimes, but really, it's not a huge deal imho)
Mike M. @ Aug 20th 2008 1:31PM
Just a slight correction:
25% less damage means that the alternate minigun requires about 33% more bullets to kill someone. 25 is roughly 33% of 75(100% - 25% = 75%).
It's a common mistake and not a big deal, but I'm a nerd.
Frojo @ Aug 20th 2008 1:43AM
Does anyone know if 360 controllers work with the PC version? I like the 360 controls, but the lack of updates will probably make me re-buy it for the computer once i get one that can support it.
tidefan94 @ Aug 20th 2008 1:48AM
I'm pretty sure it is compatible with the 360 controller.
Thatoneguy64 @ Aug 20th 2008 2:42AM
I'm sure it works.
Why you would want to over KB/M, I don't know.
Wilhelm @ Aug 20th 2008 5:22AM
@ Thatoneguy64
Has it ever crossed your mind that some people prefer the feel of dual analogs over a keyboard and mouse for shooters? Personally, I can't stand using a keyboard and mouse for shooters. For RTS games and the like, that's a different story. But for shooters, KB & M just feels weird to me in this age of gaming.
ScallionN @ Aug 20th 2008 5:38AM
With the exception of rocket jumping and sniping (lol, point and click) it actually feels like it was made for the Xbox controler.
Poisoned Al @ Aug 20th 2008 8:12AM
I know people who use a 360 pad on the PC version, though I wouldn't mention it if you don't want to be mocked. But as mentioned before, avoid soldier and sniper and you should be fine.
ext0n @ Aug 20th 2008 1:54AM
OM NOM NOM NOM!
rivaldi22 @ Aug 20th 2008 2:43AM
I loled.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Aug 20th 2008 1:00PM
I NOM'ed.
rivaldi22 @ Aug 20th 2008 2:44AM
I'm pretty I would find this hilarious even if I wasn't in my present state of inebriatoximacation.
That means it's good.
Purple Haze @ Aug 20th 2008 2:44AM
They could probably make a brilliant single-player game for Team Fortress 2 with a ridiculous and hilarious storyline.
NvM @ Aug 20th 2008 7:35AM
It would be even better if it was completely serious.
mopo @ Aug 20th 2008 3:14AM
nom nom nom nom nom nom
Gregg @ Aug 20th 2008 4:43AM
Didn't even know people still played this horrible, unoriginal game.
Poisoned Al @ Aug 20th 2008 5:53AM
Because you own the 360 version, and never, ever use the internet?
Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.
emotaku @ Aug 20th 2008 6:06AM
Bad troll is bad.
Psaakyrn @ Aug 20th 2008 6:20AM
Until you get a Scout stalking you. I think it was intentional for them to be utterly vulnerable to Scout rush ambushes and duplicate the scout vid.
Psaakyrn @ Aug 20th 2008 6:25AM
So, how long before someone recreates the scout vid?
capt_carl @ Aug 20th 2008 7:42AM
The new minigun, Natascha, sounds like a freakin helicopter. It's useful, but only in certain situations.
emirabal @ Aug 20th 2008 8:13AM
INGENIOUS
Kassu @ Aug 20th 2008 8:55AM
Valve could make embarrasing amounts of money if they made a full lenght TF2 movie.
Blazur @ Aug 20th 2008 9:17AM
Played for 6 hours last night once the patch was released and it was pure mayhem with heavies running around. New PL map is dope, and I'm loving the heavy achievements. Not really too fond of arena mode, however...it tests my patience.
nick @ Aug 20th 2008 11:04AM
Love the game. Love the videos (until now). This one is just meh...
