Got leaked and was pretty awesome. hope you get to watch it

Si · Sun May 17, 2009 8:23 am

I don't know if its real, but was on Xfire's twitter feed.

De4dW0lf · Sun May 17, 2009 8:28 am

I just watched this on Vimeo too, I think it is real, no one else could excecute it with such perfection.

Best 'Meet the' vid so far by miles xD

It's real, someone at Valve goofed and had it up on their youtube channel early. Needless to say, they were not fast enough in removing it.

This is, in my most honest arrogant (and biased) opinion, the BEST 'Meet the' video thus far.

Sorry I didn't realise there was already a thread here, so I merged.

Here's apparently what happened (quoted from a steam post0

1. Someone with Valve's account uploaded it to YouTube and had the video hidden as a private one.

2. Someone spotted the video's listing and told everyone. Most people were not able to watch the video but saw its existence.

3. Shortly after it was revealed, someone from Valve took it down.

4. People found out that due to YouTube's faulty cache system, the video can still be watched on iPhone every after deletion. The video was then ripped, shared, and uploaded.

its really really aaesome, searched for it on youtube but only found "Meet the Spy Checker"

Watch this video on Youtube.

Pretty good, though I think I actually prefer Meet the Sniper.

I bet Valve leaked it deliberately.

Lord Metritutus · Sun May 17, 2009 11:25 am

I wouldn't put it past them for an elaborate leaked intelligence (video) plot.

The question is, what was it doing on youtube in the first place? Even as a private video...

Getting encoded by YouTube ready for release. Obviously.

Skillers · Sun May 17, 2009 11:42 am

Valve don't really care about YT, though, they only started using it recently (few months ago).

Seeing as this entire update has been toying with the community, I bet it's deliberate.

It is the best one yet. No two ways about it.

Skillers · Sun May 17, 2009 2:01 pm

It's the best done, but I enjoy the Sniper one more.

Well I was going to say "great minds think alike"... And clearly that's still valid.

Wynney · Sun May 17, 2009 9:30 pm

meet the solider tbh

Skillers · Sun May 17, 2009 9:35 pm

I could agree with you there.

... UNLESS IT'S A FARM!

Wynney · Sun May 17, 2009 9:38 pm

it's the only one I actually laughed at ^^. It's deffo the most epic one.

Skillers · Sun May 17, 2009 9:48 pm

Soldier was very funny, but Sniper just felt right. Really good beat and style to it.

McWill · Sun May 17, 2009 9:58 pm

yeah, soldier was good. but sniper is the only one i've managed to watch > twice

Skillers · Sun May 17, 2009 10:04 pm

I have watched the Sniper the most, then the Scout.

Si · Mon May 18, 2009 11:01 pm

It be out.

Spoiler for The List:

Note: "Leaked video"

Skillers · Mon May 18, 2009 11:04 pm

Some good ones there, and it was a leak!

DHR-107 · Mon May 18, 2009 11:16 pm

Some of the achievements look interesting.

Maybe a few of them are X Stabs in X seconds.... And lols at the huge amount of film refernces they got in, especially bond ones xD
