STOPPP

You are in bro

and no im not kidding some actually posted that on the workshop

It's nice and all but it should be shorter, like 2 seconds long instead of 6, and Valve should give me one, for free.

"Unless it's a farm!"

- Soldier TF2

it looks nice, i dont get why people are saying its too long

It's 6 seconds long.

Its just too long

ideally this should be 4seconds or shorter for it to work as a taunt

can you make a sit down looping taunt for soldier. Because HXX's soldier looping taunt never gotten added. I think it's because Valve thought that Soldier can barely read.

I need this in

I love the idea of Meet the Soldier being turned into a small taunt.

it is better than a car taunt yes

It's less than 6 seconds long, Humus.

It's less than 6 seconds long, Humus.

make it shorter pretty pretty pretty pls

imagine how toxic this will be

it's 6 seconds long

Thanks

its so long

I would like to see different classes on the post, but it's okay if that isn't possible

soldier has the best taunts

animation is very good

We need less of the random stuff popping out the ground taunts and more actual taunts

this is incredibly well made and not over the top good shit

I love this taunt

Granted, the only time Valve DID have to censor anything for this game was when they were releasing this game over in Germany; during that time, that country had very strict rules when it came to violence & gore being depicted in videogames and TF2 had to endure a bunch of changes to meet those laws.

But those laws have been hella lightened since then and really do not apply anymore, especially to how content's depicted in this game.

@Dimitri_The_Hellhound_Hunter Valve wasn't censoring the gore in that Meet the Team video at all; the whole video opens up with 3 different mercs getting exploded into gory gibs. The reason why it was framed that way was actually buildup for a very morbid gag, because anyone watching that for the first time very likely thought Soldier was giving his men a talking to, not that he was nuts and yelling at a bunch of heads on a fence.

And if you're still unconvinced that this would still be too gory to add as a taunt, then you don't remember when they added the Headcase taunt for Pyro where he's literally showing the Heavy's barbecued head on a silver platter.

@Dimitri_The_Hellhound_Hunter
In meet the soldier, Valve did work hard to hide the mercs' severed heads from being shown, because they're trying to hide the fact that soldier is talking to severed heads throughout the animation so that the viewer believes he's some kind of actual drill sergeant talking to men. the part where it's revealed that he's been talking to heads is an ironic punchline that the entire animation leads up to. It is absolutely not for censorship purposes, especially given how Meet the Soldier starts with multiple mercenaries being blown up into pieces of bloody meat.

im foaming at the mouth this is awesomw

I love taunts that pay homage to the official videos.

got a bloddy nose rn how yall feelin

We came full circle, didn´t we.

@Dimitri_The_Hellhound_Hunter
Do you forget that Mercs in this game can be blown into pieces by explosions & The Classic when you kill someone with a fully recharged shot? You can even decapitate them with most of Demoman's Sword/Axe melee weapons.

TF2 was not made for kids to begin with. just like Half-Life and Counter-Strike who wasn't made for kids either.

they didnt censor the heads at all what
the whole punchline was that you dont realize he's talking to severed heads until the reveal at the end

I don't see this being added personally, in Meet the soldier I can tell that valve worked hard to censor the severed heads as to not make things too graphic. I feel like this would cross that line. I would like to be wrong about this but only time will tell.

yeah sadly the importer only allows one unique model for each class (soldier in this case) between both teams. I'm sure if Valve wanted to they could program their own taunt that randomizes the model but that's not really an option for Workshoppers sadly

That should be proof enough it isn't possible with any of the ideas.

neither options are possible sadly

Taunt itself is very well done. I like Endi's idea of him pulling out the paper while turning around and pointing at it, but the way you have it now works just as well. I also like that it's just a simple fence post instead of an entire portion of a fence, I think just a wood fence post ends up looking sensible in a lot more places, compared to a portion of fencing which would make sense in very few portions of maps.

@Servbot Merkitzi
Picking the head by random chance and picking the head based on who killed you last are pretty different things, It'd make sense if one wasn't possible and the other was.

I like the concept but it could be a bit shorter.

@Gay Demon Warlord
Chickenman just said to Guy that its sadly not possible, and my guess is that its probably due to limitations.

it sucks to hear know, but limits exist within every program & game.

Here is advice on making this an actual taunt instead of a lame emote. Make soldier scream at the corpse he just killed

this is so messed up. Good job!

Love it, To add Guy's point would it possible pick a merc by random chance?

Sadly not possible

Instead of it only ever being the medic's head on the post, I think it would be neat if it gets replaced with the head of whatever class you last killed so that way it can be used as an actual taunt against the player you last killed instead of just medics.

that last line hit so well

"...UNLESS IT'S A FARM!"
