Coinciding with the Pyro update to Team Fortress today, Valve has released the latest video in its "Meet the Team" machinima ads, chronicling the life of a sniper.
As with the rest of the advertisements, the video is constructed using the game engine and focuses around the personalities and tactics of the class.

We're not going to spoil a damn thing about this video. If you've read this far, we suggest you just watch it. It's worth every moment.
Previous entries in the series include, Meet the Heavy, Meet the Soldier, Meet the Engineer, Meet the Demoman and Meet the Scout. The Pyro, Medic and Spy have yet to be covered.
Is it a bit odd to be releasing these after the games been out for ages now?
Valve believe in long-term support for games. They do this for the hell of it as much as for promotion. They don't pimp a game then ditch it after they have your money, unlike most publishing scum.
It's not as funny as the Engineer video, but it's another good one.
I'd place money on the fact that these have been made for along time and they're only still releasing them as ongoing promotion. I very much doubt they're still making them now.
