However, in this interview with Jesse Henning of GameCyte, Valve’s Erik Johnson says there will be something released in its place.
For the next release, the Heavy, we’re going to have a short piece of linear media that isn’t a “Meet The” piece of media, but we’re going to have something out.
There’s also plenty of info on the TF2 design and development process and Valve’s rewards for releasing free content. You can also check out GameCyte’s hands-on with Left 4 Dead.

So they are going to do something different they say… I dont like change, it scares me.

Hopefully they’ll Showcase The Weapons that the Heavy can unlock. They will then do this for the Medic and Pyro.
I’m sure they could find a funny way to do this.

They mentioned this to be a nod to the community, maybe it’s a video-’Greeting’ from the team to the TF2 community.

If-if there’s no “Meet The…” video I-I swear I’m just gonna burn the place down. I also want my stapler back.

“Valve ruins fans expectations”
“Valve ruins people’s lives”
“Valve ruins chance of escaping lynching”
“Valve begrudgingly scraps original idea and releases ‘Meet the Pyro’”
“Valve ruins meet the Pyro”
“Valve lynched”

Basically, DO NOT WANT!
I want to meet that Pyro!
12 Terin // Jul 16, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Maybe some Left4Dead media?
13 mr. Brit // Jul 16, 2008 at 5:05 pm
or meet the pyro
14 LaZodiac // Jul 16, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Same here Mr Brit.
Hey, maybe their going to talk about the Pyro’s new weaponry in a fairly silly way. And massive massive hinting at Meet the Pyro.
15 jordan // Jul 16, 2008 at 7:52 pm

16 Swiss // Jul 17, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Ouch, just when I was hopping for some behind the scene “meet the” video stuff.
Still hope right?
17 Blaze // Jul 18, 2008 at 9:02 am
Translation: It’s Meet the Spy and we’re trying to keep it a secret.

NO! they’re going to nerf the demoman!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
and seriously, the backburner is way overpowered even now. why doesn’t valve fix that instead and stop worrying about the demoman? >_>
