Stereotypes, not attempts at being accurate. Valve said in an interview that the Sniper "is about as Australian as the Demoman is Scottish". So that's why the Medic fails at the plurals in his own language.On purpose, allegedly, to fit in with the pulp spy-fic/early 20th century advertisement feel. You mean him being a drunk gung-ho lunatic like the azerothian dwarves?.The black, Scottish cyclops stereotype that is so common nowadays. He's probably a parody of the Scottish stereotype.If they couldn't find a voice actor who could actually sound convincing, why make him Scottish at all? Being Scottish, I get the urge to claw my own ears off every time I hear the Demoman speak.The 30's, according to the catch-up comic.Wait, so then where did the original TF game (Quake) take place?.It's revealed in the "Catch-Up Comic" that the original Team Fortress team (known as Team Fortress Classic) was hired to fight for Redmond/Blutarch in 1930, so it's assumed that's when the original TF 1 took place.Their ultra modern gear has something to do with Australia. The new comics feature the Team Fortress 1 mercenaries, all of them are old geezers.It WAS sold and advertised as a standalone game, and was featured in pretty much all Half-Life 1 collections that were sold more than a full decade before Team Fortress 2 was released. Team Fortress Classic was a separate mod made for the original Half Life based on the Team Fortress mod for quake.IIRC, neither were offered for standalone sale or advertised, that might be the source of the confusion.Yes, originally a mod for Quake, later re-released as Team Fortress Classic for Steam.My guess is, Redmond was succeeding in the first years of the war, and now Blutarch is attempting to gain back territory he lost.Plus the official backstory basically says that they're a front for organizations that each control half the world. Also the fact that according to the comic introducing the engineer update it's possible to infer that the BLU team attacked first, thus explaining why they're on the offensive.Perhaps BLU is destroying things so they can make more money rebuilding them with their construction business.The nice thing about TF2's 'plot' is that it's full of subtle touches like this that don't interfere with the game but make things a bit more interesting. It's actually kind of clever when you think about it BLU is destroying RED's toys to prevent further destruction, becoming what they hate in their quest to stop it.Dustbowl, for example, has that nuke at the final point. Its because RED is always about to launch a doomsday weapon.Apparently, someone had the same thought on the fridge brilliance page.It's just a front for fun and frantic team-based multiplayer. Because the "companies" are only fronts for intelligence agencies.If BLU is a construction company and RED is a demolitions company, why is BLU always the attacking team while RED is always the defending team? Note that this setup means RED is more likely to have Engineers building stuff and BLU is more likely to have Demomen tearing things down.
