This needs to be a mandatory start up video for anyone who boots up TF2 for the first time. So many new players would be better off with this video's message in their minds when first starting to play the game.

The sentence mixing here is just too awesome.

I remember watching this video when I was a wee lad. Never in my years of being a TF2 player and fan have I seen any better fan produced product, this animation stands above community made items/assets that have been added to the game in my opinion. The aura this video captures of the player-base and how TF2 felt back in the day is a very genuine time-capsule, at least for me anyway. The GMod animation community and most of the TF2 player-base may be gone but the fact that I was able (Though with a bit of difficulty.) to find this video and it is still as heart warming and epic as it was to me back then is a true test of the metal here. Not to mention as a fan made video from the game that has the high quality "Meet the ..." videos and that this video holds up, the voice mixing has never been done better for any game or piece of media I've seen or heard, it even puts though modern AI voice things to shame. The animation itself is bold and fluid with a mixture of in-game animations which play off each other beautifully. The lesson is good as well as the message, the video itself is great. I would say that this as mandatory as the "Meet the ..." videos Valve has made. It is bittersweet, such fond memories and feelings that are all gone now, there will never be another TF2 nor another 'TF2 Golden Age' and I'm sad to have to accept that, it was once in a life time thing and I am very happy to have been part of the ride and to still be a part of it all, even if it is neglected and underappreciated.

So heavy listens to a russian sandwich in his head... wonder what pyro listens to...

Moral Of This Story: SANDWHICHES ARE BAD TEAM IS GUD

This is why it's called "TEAM Fortress 2".

The voice mixing... HOLY SHIT. THE VOICE MIXING. HOW. THE. FUCK. THAT IS FUCKING AMAZING. (Also, apparently, it's referred to as 'Sentence Mixing'. Thank you, TonyLoaf.

I swear, those voice lines sound original, how is this man such a deity when it comes to voice mixing?!

I agree with what this video is saying. One man can't fight an army. Teamwork is key.

That's why I use Dalokah's Bar instead of Sandvich...

The end made me cry a little

This video represents what tf2 is really about. We all must learn from this.

This was just amazing, enjoyed every second of it!

Was not expected feels from a GMOD video.

You did an awesome job with Heavy's dialogue :D

So that's why heavy can't shutup about being credit to team...

This is actually inspirational

How amazing. Truly a great story how Heavy defied the evil sandvich and regained his friends and realized how to work together. It shook me to the core.

That was fucking awesome. This guy did in six-and-a-half minutes what most directors can't do throughout an entire saga. Fantastic job, Mild. You've earned a sub.

This is an absolute work of art. The story, music, and voices were perfect. This is by far the best TF2 video I have ever watched. Mad props to you, Sir.

Looks like that sandwich... '*Puts on sunglasses*' Has "gone bad"... '*YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!*'

This is the absolute best sounding dialogue n a gmod/sfm animation I have ever seen. Better than all voice acting I've seen.

Overwatch might have fairly frequent updates.. It might even have more-balanced classes and weaponry.. But Team Fortress 2.. Only TF2 has this..

Team is friend

Ahh this was before TF2 meant actual gameplay and teamwork and accomplishing goals and objectives... ...not trading hats, flooding conga and acting "friendly" in a field of war.

So epic

After all these years, this video still holds up extremely well. Thanks for the memories, my friend!

I can't believe it!You did a fantastically amazingly delicious job, this old 2011 video really impressed me dude!Good job!

This is so epic ;D

i missed the medic, but cool video anyways :3

i like how u made the other team mates take extra precaution not to hurt sandvich - controlled heavy, even though he was trying to team kill. it gives a sense of the mercenaries not being complete assholes and just flat out killing him. i especially liked the part when spy made sure to stab heavy with the blunt side of his knife and engineer wrangling the sentry to only hit his gun. its called Team Fortress for a reason well played, sir. and nice use of the Two Steps from Hell, love that dude :)

The Heavy Weapons and the evil sandvich: Power of teamwork

*Server operator activates mp_friendlyfire 1* What happens

Soviet Sandvich? Lol!

I just fell a tear this was the best tf2 video i have ever seen good job man!

Even after 3 years this video always gets me man....well done man..well done..

a talking sandvich on heavy´s mind? XD

Heavys reward is a uber heart

Very good video, awesome story, well done animations and good post-production effects. You have a new follower!

nice moral lesson you got there (it's a complement)

I was playing tf2 every one was yelling and cussing at eachother I played this video through my mic it helped them realize the importance of a team and we worked together and won every round after that

I think this sandvich was no common one at least i like sandviches (trust me this one is not the sandvich i would enjoy) but i have picnics with other heavys enemy or not

You have some talent here, this sounds like actual narration and not some jumbled mess of voice clips. I'm impressed!

Wow, amazing story right here! So epic and touching for some reason lol. I love how nice the stop motion animation is! Brilliant work Ahggg!

i loved this too much

and this is call "team"fortress 2

Seriously slick editing job, props!

The way you did the voices is very good, it sounds like that was their original lines.

Russian Subtitle? Cool :D

U HEAR THIS RAGE HEAVYS: fuck big guns! enforcer rules! at least I kill rage heavys whit enforcer :D(and with ambassador or what was its name)

A truly fantastic job on making this video. Sandvich says "Great Work!"

Slow and steady this will get its deserved million views.

And that's how the Soviet Union ended.

This is very well made, nice plot line. Not many SFM/GMOD vids this good :)

I like that warm laugh at the start, like Heavy's thinking back to a fond memory...

Wow this was really good man:) had a strong message!

The last vid I ever saw from you was Allskau back when you did the Moskau bits. Very VERY good improvement keep up the great work.

Very well done, sir. I see you understand what makes for a good movie. Keep up the good work.

One of the best Garry's mod productions i've ever seen :D Good Job mate

This was great. I loved the sentence mixing.

Simply superb, one of the best I have seen in a long time.

Thanks for using Two Steps From Hell - Atlas in your video. It's because of you that i discovered Two Steps From Hell. It's because of you that i master piano and guitar now. It's because of you that i play TF2, L4D2, Gmod, CSS, and use Steam now. It's because of you i discovered that there's no weapon more powerful than teamwork. Thank you my friend. You changed my life. That is play... of MisterMild!

awesome video! most especially on the voice work

That was impressively well done! Great work!

I knew this movie has a deep story even before I started to watch it. Astonishing work!

Wow! That was really awesome! Great vid! :)

This is one of the best and saddest and amazing video ya know sence 2013 i never commended but wathcing it again makes me feel that what you said its * TRUE*

This is 1 of the best videos I've seen in a long time

Oh my god it took me so so long to find this video again, it was almost impossible.

this is realy well done, you guys did good.

I have been looking for this for so long

Video is so amazing, it rivals even the SFM videos.

That was a awesome Gmod you made i HIGHLY recommend we all like and favroite this epic video

I would pay to see this! Very VERY WELL DONE (Kudos to you sir)

I'm still very amazed at the voice editing of this.

This is one of the greatest Gmod videos I have seen...ever.

You have made a very serious gmod video that makes a good point. AMazing Job.

It's been 3 years since this came out, I still cry every time I see it.

Fantastic making, my good sir! :D

Best thing I have ever seen. Job well done.

One of the best SMF's I've ever seen

You know this video reminded me of one time that I was very selfish when I was 5 years old and I learned that the hard way just like heavy but everybody thought that I was a jerk and no one paid attention to me even if I apologized a hundred times they still don't want me the teacher separated me from the group and put me with others that taught me the same thing the right way there are all in jail so thank you so much for creating this video selfishness it's like a little voice in your head not in the shape of a sandwich but in a shape of a monster inside of your head that tells you that you don't need anyone you don't have to have anyone but honesty honor respect and disciplined is what makes teamwork Worth Fighting For thank you and I hope to create videos like the ones that you would do

Welp. That was one hell of a food poisoning. Or just that evil sandwich from "Wander Over Yonder"...

How you managed to say so much with voice commands was amazing

This is one of the best Garry's mod videos uve ever seen good job on that!

Still the best TF2 video on youtube and it was even made before SFM was released.

This was SO epic. Thank you MisterMild!!

Lesson 1: always give that sandwich to the little medic behind you. We sure apprechiate it.

Wow thats some awsome editing skillz

Very inspiring film. Great Job! :)

Awesome short movie,this shows Why there's Team before Fortress....

Wow... One of the best tf2 vids ive eva seen o.o

Amazing just amazing you must have put alot of effort into this, though funny but a touching story.

Mistermild, I always loved your work.

This is the best SFM/GMOD video ever!!!

DESERVES MORE VIEWS. And i actually learned something from this! :D

That was a really good animation! I personally think that i would like a sequal to it.

THE SANDVICH! That was a great plot idea for the evil inside one. Grats.

that was really good and good work on the vid

Oh god This is the best video of tf2 that i ever see o.o
