Valve details making of Meet the Medic

tf23

Remember the amazing Meet the Medic video recently released for Team Fortress 2? It didn’t just wink itself into existence, you know. There were bloopers, animated storyboards, and the decision to drop the origin story of the medigun to focus on the iconic image TF2 players all know and love: the Medic ubercharging the Heavy. Read about how the project came together on the Team Fortress 2 blog. Thanks, Blue.

And don’t forget we have a dedicated TF2 server set up for you. Get the details after the break.
