TF2 has a new class, at least that's what the internet is saying. Who exactly is this "Saxton Hale" guy, though?

Wow
I’m Sorry But You Got The “RAID-19” Virus Bro.

Hi Richter
nah, no one play this cancer gasha game
What’s crazy is that Saxton Hales taunt kill implies that just by cracking his knuckles he can kill people instantaneously
And you know, that fits his character surprisingly well
He's just very intimidating. He can also kill people by flinging them into the air with the Flippin' Awesome taunt.
He also kills you if you taunt flip with him.
He also explodes the person that lost rock paper scissors with him and everyone around 'em
The sound waves from his knuckles cracking is enough to shatter nearby skulls instantaneously
He kills them with their fear.
You have to keep in mind this update was made by two people, one valve employee and one contractor, working on it when time allowed. This wasn't some choice by the valve higher-ups. This was two people trying to show the higher ups tha passion and willingness of the community.
not saying I don't believe it(cause that sounds pretty accurate) but what's the source for the contractor?
@Alphine_Agnitio I don't remember their name, but iirc they are someone Valve contracted to work on improving steamdeck compatibility and fixing source one bugs because those things kinda go hand in hand lol. I think people got this info from the little known source 1 github bug tracker.
and i hear it worked
Yeah, higher ups need to see that:
1. People already love this, any support is massively better than nothing.
2. More support is very very welcome. Valve gets easy returns and good will from each investment.
This game does crazy numbers for good reason, and even though Valve is largely just a storefront money factory (with VR and steamdeck side projects), there's still room for them to stuff a side room with a TF2 support team.
So...
The janitor and the potted plant?
its actually so sick that they gave every merc new voicelines for the VSH mode
I'm away from home for a month and the update just droppedd ioehaofhoad fodfasefa I WANT TO PLAY
Update: I played it!!! Also I bought a cosmetic case for the FIRST time and my first one was the cranium cooler lol
Moral of the story: gambling is awesome
i just wish it was the actual voice actors instead of a random guy doing an impression
@@totaltakeovergames7275 unfortunately, most/all of them are busy. one has passed away, two are unreachable, and the rest are busy and are doing tons of other things.
@@thejesterbox4096 SAME DUDE DJSBDJ THIS IS THE FIRST MAJOR UPDATE I GET TO SEE AND I CANT EVEN PLAY ITTTT
it's not so sick, those are terrible. And they (VALVe) weren't the ones to implement them, they basically just copy-pasted. I hope VALVe eventually improves them with the real VAs
One thing I will note about the Australium plot point, while most australium’s were made buff and macho and stuff, santon wasn’t. When the australium runs out it shows they revert to normal… while saxton remains himself
australium belt buckle
I thought it was because Saxton Hale has Australium coursing through his veins as result of his predecessors being exposed to Australium.
@apolloknight9521 Probably that, too. Hell, even his own granddad and dad were punching out of coal mine cave-ins, causing more deaths then the cave-in itself.
My theory is that he DID revert. He's just this buff by himself. If he did have australium he would be an even bigger brick shithouse
Literally a Gigachad
A custom server being added into the base game is just fucking amazing. All those years playing Saxton Hale servers and having a lot of fun. What a blessing they have given us
Freak fortress is such a cool game. VSH was one of the best things to happen to tf2. Just because, it's another game mode.
Hopefully they'll keep it in game. Or at least bring it back occasionally.
Its already community supported 24/7 for over 10 years at least so. Yeah it should be year round.
@@AlienFan25 it isn't going away.
@@doctaterror what did I read about something about September 10th(?) Idk remember the day. But is it not leaving?
@@AlienFan25 all of the summer maps are staying.
Kinda funny how this fan remake of the Saxton Hale model in the Jungle Inferno SFM is now technically official too.
its not, the hale model has been in the game files since jungle inferno, though significantly smaller (around the size of heavy)
in vsh hes scaled up for some reason, making him stupidly tall, like 7 feet, but he goes back to normal size once ragdolled
The Hale model was actually leaked a long time ago and then fixed and uploaded to workshop. Seems like Valve didn't care too much about someone uploading their leaked stuff, thankfully.
It appears I have been significantly incorrect. I apologize.
@@DaRealBruner its ok i also thought the one in the game was the fan remake too i guess im dumb too
@@RichterOvertime bro i am so sorry i was wronf
Crazy how valve just saxtoned all of our hales while our parks mercenaried
I know right
Didn't make the connection that Hale was the creator of Jarate and the pills. Man's truly the innovator of an age and the very definition of "built different."

R.I.P. Rick May
Thanks for reminding me how insanely deep the "custom VSH boss" rabbit hole went, some kid made *me* into a custom boss once
Elaborate on the making *you* a boss part please
some kid made a custom vsh boss (or "hale"/"freak") that was my avatar (at the time, Classic Man, a robot-sniper-Beep Man mashup). I think it just was a run-of-the-mill basic hale, just had a grapple hook instead of bravejump

Hello I’m simon undertime
Richter after time when when uhhh whenn
I'm imaging now, a gamemode of normal red vs blue, but, both sides had their own Hale. First to kill the other's wins. That sounds fun af.
Edit: "That's just crasher," no, it's not just crasher. Crasher is differnet compared to just having Red Vs. Blue tdm until either side's Hale dies, you know, what I descirbed above. Not to mention, the new gamemode is official now and not seasonal compared to Crasher.
they'd have to make him untargetable by Medics otherwise he'd never die.
@@gmanplaysgames256 or give him a healing debuff
theres a server just like that but everyone is hale
@gmanplaysgames256 well yeah of course, there'd have to be changes.
Kindaclike that one Halloween map but with Saxton Hale
4:00 You're welcome!
Thank you
4:50 also, his chest hair is in the shape of Australia, if anyone didn't notice
Saxtion Hale would probably be way to over powered especially with a medic
The gamemode can glitch, so Saxton can actually get a medic if it manages to glitch out
I can do you one better: kaiju sized saxton hale from that Halloween map we had
Maybe make it so he cannot be overhealed ontop of a slow heal. A class that requires health packs instead
Saxton Hale Vs. every Baki character let's goooo
Not with the stats that I listed somewhere in the comments. He'd be called hale Jr tho
Imagine if they add in more NPCs as bosses in VSH especially when in VSH we’re working for the bad guys, Graymann, it would make sense for us to be hired to kill other characters like Miss Pauling or the Administrator as Bosses
I want to see Grayson in a mech called the Mann Cann
I doubt a Miss Pauling or Administrator boss fight would take as long as a Saxton Hale boss fight
Ever since VSH came out, I was rolling around the voiceline where Pauling says that the Admin sends hitmen after her yearly as part of an annual performance review in my head and wondering how to make it into a viable game mode. I think it's doable and could be a lot of fun.
My first exposure to Saxton Hale ever was in Dasboschitt's Computer Quest, where he proves himself to be as equally strong as Gandalf the Grey and the Gandalf the White and Monty Python & the Holy Grail's Black Knight and Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie, Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk and Darth Vader, Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, the Rock, Doc Ock and Hulk Hogan by throwing Chuck Norris into the Sun. It's impressive just about everything about him I've seen since has been as equally awesome.
man. Dasbochitt. you're talking of a long forgotten name from the ancient times.
'zig in de zog
But is he stronger than Mr. Rogers?
I'm gonna have to go rewatch this song now thanks
@@AParticularlyPointySoldier
Saxton had a tough time fighting a child which made him just give up his company. I dont thing he has the guts to hurt an old man either.
11:41
You aren't alone, Richter.
4:32 what no update does to a community
You missed out that Saxton Hale was heavily featured in the Mann v Machine update material (see also: "Attention, Cowards!" from October 2012, when they introduced the abandoning a game matchmaking consequences for example, or the fact that he's the banner image for the MvM FAQ page, and _his face is on the Tour of Duty tickets in the game)._ So you know, he was all through the 2012 TF2 material.
It made me smile so much that Saxton Hale is getting this love from Valve. I can remember being in 4th (maybe 3rd) grade, talking to my friend about Saxton Hale and he's lore within the TF2 universe.
Something with the impressions thing... Valve's done that in the past. When the Player Destruction mode was added, the "in the beam" line was done by the original creator of the map and is still in to this day. Also, as others have said, this update was put out by like two people, only one of which worked at Valve itself. We _could_ get the voice actors back in but I wouldn't bet on it. Frankly, I'm just glad this update exists-
the "we are in the beam" voice is just a TTS voice called WillFromAfar but yeah there's lots of fan voice acting in the game for maps like cursed cove, selbyen, sinthetic and farmageddon
I really hope Valve gets the mercenary voice actors back to voice the mercenaries...except the Solider, I do not think Valve has invented necromancy.........yet. They could get a professional impressionist for him though.
We'll get the science nerds downstairs on it right away
would probably just be nolan north coming back for soldier and engie

“I am Australian, baby!”
-Saxton Hales, 2023
It would be mind blowing if they ever make a wild west mod, there are a few models based on the very first generation of both RED and BLU teams.
Oh boi that would be awesome
the gamemode was made by the original creator of VSH and had one person do the impressions and valve probably approached them afterwards so thats why it they werent voice by the official va
10:00 VSH is back and it works surprisingly well. I noticed only 1 bug after an hour of playing and that is that whenever a new player joins they're automatically assigned to the BLU team, but this doesn't really do anything since the player gets switched to the red team when a new round begins.
It's due to the game forcing new players to be balanced to the BLU team, but the Vscript puts them on RED shortly after.
one time saw saxton a-posing becuse he didn't get his hands and only could use his special abilities
It crashes a lot on my friend’s computer, other maps don’t have this issue
@@polishnope5609they fixed that, iirc the issue was if you were taunting while the round ended and you became saxton
Isn't that intentional since Saxton's health is based on the amount of people on RED team?

"Heavy need no magic gold to be strong!"
"All that muscle, but you still just tiny baby inside!"

"Who wants to be first in my new Halefication project and also the first to experience it's negative side effects?"
I personally believe their return to the game is a sign that something big is coming soon, maybe TF2 on source 2, maybe a tf3 (but named something different like TF: International or something). Either that or they're feeling out the community to see if they'd still be interested in fortress, and the answer is a clear yes
When Alfredo Linguini explains VSH to new players.
So nice to find someone who makes consistent valve news/content that's not VNN, new favorite channel right here.
It's crazy that they added this mode to the game officially. Nostalgic because I used to run a pretty big server on this mode, years ago.
Any chance you remember the name of the server
I really want a skeleton cowboy with a fast and a strong melee and it can get a rope that can trap mercenaries to help himself and others and a bandit mask you can put on to rush bases. Also a double sheriff revolver, and it can also extend how much items you get and it will have a lot of high level guns (which is kinda rare). With this class releasing they could add mercenary coins with a custom options to buy coins - it will show the price. You will get 150/500 every kill, 500 MC mercenary coins) is random.
VS Saxton Hale is an old game mode. It pairs the players up against Saxton Hale, an AI. It happened before MvM. I believe it was a mod for TF2, but it's been so long that I have my doubts.
Saxton grew up near the Australium deposits. Unlike the locals that lived above the deposits, he lived close enough and grew up there to be affected by the mineral, after spending years there it had a permanent affect on him. The locals that lived above it were drastically changed but once the mined were depleted they reverted back to their old selves. Saxton however had grown up near it and it permanently changed him. He's smarter, stronger and faster than other people, even those who lived above the mines. The mineral itself has body altering properties.
If newborns were to receive exposure to the raw or pure mineral for the same lifetime duration they would become like Saxton. The only difference is you would have the recipe for super soldiers or even get close to 40k Space Marines.
10:40 Unfortunately... We're missing one voice actor...☹️

love the re-volt music in the outro :)
if people called the civilian the possible 10th class even if he was only intended to be on 1 game mode saxton hale also is
I think that Valve expected this level of broken code and lack of polish, and that's why they didn't do as much advertising.
This is actually the second time valve adds a new character soldier was originally a promo for cod world at war and people liked him so much that he stayed in the game
i can’t with the A posing hale running around killing people by just looking at them
Hale has always been one of the best caracters without being a class
How are none of you talking about the fact that his chest hair is shaped like the map of Australia ? In the jungle inferno short, he even has Tasmania as an island on his left pec muscle.

7:47 Erm, the Blue Moon Pack Update.

6:42 Bill noooo
also: if you join an official VSH server and make it onto blu team (With Saxton Hale) the class select screen says that there's 1 heavy on the team (being Hale).
Sentry buster and saxton hale. The list grows.
I was always out of the loop with the expanded community stuff so my introduction to Saxton Hale was Dasmatze's Heavy Birthday GMod machinima. It took a while for me to learn that he was a canon character and not something completely made up.
I really like the adjustments they did to the game mode. I hope they add more mini bosses like the horseless headless horseman or the Yeti for Screamfortess
Shame though that they didn't do any announcements for it. A new sfm would have been nice
brother its all community made stuff wdym sfm. a grill model is all youre getting
Well, the game is reaching a player peak. They clearly knew that they wouldn't need to do one.
Also they didnt wanna spend the money they get from mann co store to hire contractors to make an sfm lmao.
I don't care for TF2 Updates. I just want the final chapter of the comic to come out.
That office plant was putting in double, nay triple shifts to get this out.
Glad to see you're getting sponsors
The last balance changes done to TF2 were in the Blue Moon update in early 2018, not in Jungle Inferno
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this update and the VSH maps added. I've played VSH and Freak Fortress on community servers on and off since 2014 and I never expected it to come into the mainstream. However, I think this is the jolt of life this game needs right now. Like MVM, its something drastically different from the typical TF experience.
However, you know what would be absolutely rad? Getting the final TF comic issue, and it ties in this game mode. Saxton Hale turns on the mercs who just defeated the TFC mercs and it would be this final epic battle to save the Badlands.
I'd also like some weapon balances too but right now I'm happy the game is still fun and the community so dedicated.
gray mann is dead why would saxton turn on the mercs? the main antagonist is the administrator

"SAXTON HAAAALE!!!" -Saxton Hale
I find it highly amusing, that in the wake of overwatch 2's complete and utter failure to give players the new game mode they were promise, valve straight up gave tf2 players a new asymmetrical gamemode, yeah its community made and has existed for over a decade in community servers but valve was under no pressure or even incentive to add this longtime fan favorite game offically, and yet they did it anyway. Granted the gameomde did not work for over a week but at least it is working now. Blizzard take notes that is how you please a playerbase.
vsh being added has me wondering what other community game modes could be added. Maybe some of the zombie game modes, or just some entirely new concept nobody has seen before like a payload marathon where both teams can push a singular cart but only the one that gets it to the end wins.
that payload idea is actually already in the game as payload race

To me it is pretty weird that those maps would still run on vscript instead of the gamemode actually being added to the game like the other ones. But still we got VSH wooooh!!!!
With V script, I hope this year's Scream Fortress would make a new modified version of HHH where a random player gets to use HHH like how VSH works but mix in a bit of fun like plr and each team has a player randomly turned to HHH and fight to the deal to feed the payload souls.

I think its criminal that they didn't add the mannco hq map. Was my favorite VSH map back when I'd play it and is basically Saxton's home field.
My personal favorite VSH map is vsh_reservoir_v2
those maps werent made by the creator of this new version so they couldnt just put it in
I surendo love playing skyresort
most of the old maps are just campy and unbalanced, sorry not sorry
Mannco HQ was made for a very different Hale. Part of the reason why they managed to get away with the infinite superjumping is because the new maps are too small for Hale to just hide away.
If it means a new meet the team video then I’m happy.
Saxton hale Is the director of mannco the Company that gives the mercenaries their resurces including weapons and hammo everybody Who read the comics knows that.
im not someone who has been playing tf2 for a while, and i know who saxton hale is. i have seen videos on the gamemode, and i think its a really cool concept
i hope valve sees the playercount and decides to update more
Yes
holy shit i just randomly found this video, got to the end, and i got hit with my favorite game's soundtrack
I was fancying playing some more TF2 last week
Even though there's pretty much only one dev (Eric Smith) involved with Tf2 it seems, adding Hale was a blessed surprise. Nothing is as delicious as hope for such a beloved game. Especially for fan favorite game mode being added I have nostalgia for. May this be a new beginning 🙏
