Fixed the link here for one that takes you directly to the picture (of Soldier's statue and the decapitated BLU Team heads on CP_Granary) in question.


** For the entire duration of May, the rotating main menu class image was locked to the Soldier, and the background music was replaced with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk_EZpqPUf8 "Saluting the Fallen"]], a rendition of the Army funeral song {{Taps}}. Later in August, as an additional tear-jerking touch, the Soldier statue was made a permanent addition to CP_Granary -- the map where ''Meet The Soldier'' took place -- which is [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Granary_(Control_Point)#/media/File:Granary_soldiers_perm_statue.png visible near the RED spawn]], along with [[CallBack the row of decapitated BLU team heads]] from the same animation.

Frosath played Pyro, and had a habit of buying invincibility canteens (which Kazerad saw as AwesomeButImpractical) and using them every chance he got, actually becoming quite effective with them. The team became quite the tightly-knit bunch, and although Frosath never really interacted with Kazerad outside of ''Team Fortress 2'', he became a good friend, even gifting Fro an in-game item for Christmas, which Fro [[Heartwarming/TeamFortress2 used in every match from then on.]] And then, one day, Fro wasn't online, and remained offline for two months. Growing concerned, Kazerad did some online detective work and found some of Frosath's blog posts talking about being in intensive care for cancer... and then he finally made contact with another one of Frosath's friends who revealed Fro had passed on. From that, Kazerad has a realization about Frosath's strategy; as someone who invested heavily in temporary items, he was playing like every moment would be his last, eschewing the long-term game to try to make the best out of the current situation.[[/labelnote]]



* It didn't take a day for the passing of Colin Wyckoff ([=Kitty0706=]), a well-known animator of [=TF2=] fan content, to spread through the community. As a result, a tribute for Colin became widespread and many fellow animators expressed their condolences to his family. Many of those animators would go on to reanimate ''Team Fabulous 2'' as a further tribute to him, and it's a testament to how tightly-knit the community is.

** After Engie helps get Helen back up, he tells her the bad news; That all the known Australium in the world is in a tiny vial in their possession, and it's only enough for six months. At first, it seems like her denial is from being used to her machinations playing out in support of her luxury and excess, but after leaving claw marks in the presumably bulletproof glass and punching it so hard that she draws blood and ''still'' cracks the glass, it becomes clear that it's not entitlement; It's desperation. She has a debt to repay, and she can't do that if she's a frail, helpless thing, let alone dead and buried. In the time between her asking to be taken to her chambers and the final scene of the comic, she decides to essentially commit suicide by shortening her time from six months to one hour simply to feel like herself again as she wraps up her unfinished business.

* The insights into the Pyro's demented mind in ''Meet the Pyro'' may be horrifying, but when one thinks about it, it's also a bit sad. Taking his own perspective into account, the Pyro is perhaps one of the only truly good-natured people in the series. All he wants to do is spread rainbows and happiness to his friends and enemies, but in reality, he's only spreading horror and suffering, to the point where even his own team is terrified and/or disgusted with him. And he's completely unaware of any of this, and likely never will be.

* While it's non-canon, Heavy and Medic's sub-plot in "End of The Line" results in this. Heavy accidentally shoots one of Medic's doves, then irritates him because he doesn't know how to play chess. When Medic and Spy are discussing battle plans, and the discussion becomes heated, Heavy tries to calm Medic down, but Medic turns him away. With the train soon to arrive, Heavy braces himself to stop it on his own. Medic, concerned and scared, Übers Heavy just in time...but it looks like Heavy didn't make it. Thankfully, he not only survives but ends up saving Medic's life later on.

* In the regular game modes, Respawn has rendered the classes jaded and blase about death (though occasionally they will revel in sadistic glee during domination quotes), but in Mann Versus Machine mode, everybody's "[Class] is Dead!" vocalizations sound genuinely upset, like they're coming to terms with the idea that maybe, this time, those teammates might not come back, ever. Medic's lines, in particular, are especially heartbreaking, as each subsequent death makes him more and more hysterical and he has to face his own inevitable demise, alone and surrounded by robots.

* [[http://kazerad.tumblr.com/post/99954750523/ This story]], telling of a dying player's legacy.[[labelnote:For those who can't access the link or in case the post disappears]] [=TF2=] Player Kazerad shares his story of Frosath, a player from his Steam friends' list who he invited to his core group out of a need for a sixth player. Frosath chose a Pyro, and had a habit of buying invincibility canteens (which Kazerad saw as AwesomeButImpractical) and using them every chance he got, and actually became quite effective with them. The team became quite the tightly-knit bunch, and, although Frosath never really interacted with Kazerad outside of ''Team Fortress 2,'' he became a good friend, even gifting Fro an in-game item for Christmas, which Fro [[Heartwarming/TeamFortress2 used in every match from then on.]] And then, one day, Fro wasn't online, and remained offline for two months. Growing concerned, Kazerad did some online detective work and found some of Frosath's blog posts talking about being in intensive care for cancer... and then he finally made contact with another one of Frosath's friends who revealed Fro had passed on.[[/labelnote]]

From that, Kazerad has a realization about Frosath's strategy; as someone who invested heavily in temporary items, he was playing like every moment would be his last, eschewing the long-term game to try to make the best out of the current situation.[[/labelnote]]

* It didn't take a day for the passing of Colin Wyckoff (Kitty0706), a well-known animator of [=TF2=] fan content, to spread through the community.

** Thankfully, in 2020, we saw the release of Team Fabulous 2 reanimated by various animators. Although it is funny, it is still upsetting considering that he isn't here to watch this masterpiece.
