Let's talk about A Pair Of Moronic Mercenaries 2, shall we? As we mentioned in a previous comment, we've confirmed a sequel to be in the works. It will put the *slightly* dysfunctional team consisting of Spy and Scout on a quest to steal the opposing team's gold reserves, but that's all we will tell about the "plot" for now. *HOWEVER,* thanks to a recent hardware upgrade, A Pair Of Moronic Mercenaries 2 will be our first video to be published in eye-melting 60 frames per second! We're also now able to make use of various other settings to make it the best-looking video yet, so stay tuned! PS: We're still looking for your feedback on our 2016 season! Help us by filling this form (all data collected is anonymous): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfR04N7niZ1-dQFsAnyeCcxeJt_8L9zsw9RjotWgNtjuKom5A/viewform?c=0&w=1
4:43 honestly my favorite part. I actually could imagine a real life heavy and soldier screaming at each other like this. P.S. almost 4 years later the legends say that heavy and soldier are still just screaming at each other.
As mentioned, this video is a pilot of sorts: A Pair of Moronic Mercenaries could become a series if you fellas would like to see more half-arsed insanity like this. That being said, we REALLY would appreciate your opinion of this video, so go ahead and rate it, comment it, and/or tell your friends!
TheInfectedFilms.... Good vid i have been a subscriber for about.... Idk a really long time and yes i would like to so more Of this (i would Also like more moron vs machines XD but i do like your work so keep IT up)
TheInfectedFilms... Also if you do more can you add a demoman with the scotich resistence a green bandana and a like protector suit That would be awsome to see (srry prbly spelled everything wrong XD)
This is a real high-quality TF2 SFM video. Good action, balanced comedy, and new ideas. I love it! I also loved the teamwork between Medic and Pyro. Wish I watched it years ago
You approached the scenes and the animation in a way that suits the aesthetic of the piece as a whole. In the sense of progression and exploitation being relative to the universe being used, it is quite brilliant. Good job!
5:24 soldier: "come here cupcake" me: "you can't be that stupid soldier" medic: (pokes cart and roll's into the red team) solider: "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" me: "the track's leads into you idiot's" Explosion me: "ugh idiot's"
I just like the way spy nonchalantly talks to his teammates about his sexual adventures with architectural structures. While everyone is obsessed with the way scout “reloaded” his pistol.
Lets just say i was thinking about unsubscribing a few days ago due to lack of new videos. Well, I ended up rejecting the idea. This video makes me proud of that decision. Absolutely amazing video.
This reminds me a lot of the moron vs machine series you guys did, happily I loved that series so I'd love to see more of this as well. I'm a sucker for the TF2 mercs being moronic.
This was so good! It was so funny, that i actually went to a borneo map and tried to inflitrate the enemy base as a medic and with a friend of mine as the pyro. Well, you can pretty much imagine what was the result... We both died horribly.
Things went really screwy when the Blu team pushed their advantage, like when Scout tossed his pistol and replaced it with another one despite using the same clip (THAT GOT ME! XD) and Demo's burp!
You animations are hilarious and thrilling. You've earned a new subscriber. And although they are funny, some of them have a sad tone. It's still amazing though how people can do that like you.
Well, there we have it: This video reached it's monthly view quota in LESS THAN A WEEK. Your feedback has also been overwhelmingly positive, as have the ratings. And thanks to it we also reached a new daily view record! Consider this an official confirmation for a series. We'll probably begin working on a second part in January. Again, thanks to all of you for your feedback!
How unfortunate for the engineers. They paid more attention to pyro than the bomb. Same goes for the soldier he paid more attention to the blu team than the medic. How dumb are they!?
even tho it has a god awful rendering quality it's 1 one of the best animation movements iv ever seen smooth yet not over exaggerated over-all i like it
I really liked some of the visual gags, like the pan to the head, barrel and gun reload. I'd say it has potential, but your camera angles, pacing and animation is a bit weak. If you want a detailed info about what you can improve, just ask. And I'll reply with a long paragraph breaking the vid down.
Alright, so at 0:10 camera angle looks a bit dull, maybe try to move cam a bit to up-right to apply the rule of thirds. (you can google it) The camera spin is unnecessary and panning down would work a lot better, plus try to add a bit of ease out when the camera is about to stop panning. Also, try to tweak your render settings, the video looks really pixelly. After the spy pops up his head, (0:16) if you add a downward motion to it (head moves up, then down a bit) [check the 12 principles of animation for further reading]) it would feel more natural. (0:21) Again, your framing looks dull. Maybe if you reconstructed the scene as Medic looking from the base to enemies and then turning to Soldier and saying "Ohh this is not good!" it'd feel more effective. Plus no movement plus only talking is a no-no. There is a rule in films, characters should always do something when talking. That doesn't mean they should only do big movements. Small movements count too, like just displaying emotions with their face. But just standing stiff and talking doesn't make it natural. (0:30) Again, your characters lack emotion. (0:27) Maybe change your lens? look at Sniper and Demo's face. (0:47) If you don't know how to make walking cycles you should learn it. This is like the first thing animators learn when they're learning animations. But if you do, that's ok. (1:06) I don't know how you could improve this, seeing that the legs are moving the opposite direction, just looks weird. But maybe you could hide his left side so it'd look more cartoony. (1:10) Google "sneaky walk cycle" for ideas. The tip-toeing looks weird. (1:17) If you're not confident in your animation skills, I'd say don't cut from the movement you couldn't do. Try to learn it. That's how you improve, also observe real movement so you can copy it. *I will continuing my criticism on my next comment*
(1:27) I liked the camera shake there. Also maybe around (0:25) if the camera was behind his shoulder, the shot would look better. (1:33) Adding downwards movement after Pyro pops his head up would make it more natural. (1:36) A lot of negative space around characters, also how is the scout laughing like that? Not mandatory, but maybe tweaking some sounds' L and R channels would be better. Like when Scout says "Oh man" while it's cut to Engis. (1:49) Showing him running would make that better. (2:07) I think the Duck's sound echoing is a bit too much exaggeration, even for a cartoony style. Maybe you could add a plot twist/gag by making the Duck being alive and screaming when Pyro steps on it (2:15) I liked the eyes and the stone roll effect. But maybe you could make his eyes pop, when the duck sound is heard. Would add more emotion to it, and would be funnier. (2:25) Giving asymmetry to Engis' poses would make that shot better. Also who would shake in a situation like that like the Engis do? (2:35) Maybe, make a dispenser fall from the sky? Y'kno emphasis on the parts being there. (2:50) Making the hands shaky would be easy. And make the fight more believable. (2:55) I'm pretty sure nobody would stand still when launched through a rocket to the sky. (3:08) Um, don't just frame the hand. Show what happened. (3:10) Really liked the joke. But maybe if you made the head go down in a cartoony style, it'd be better. Btw liking the camera shakes. *more criticism on the next comment*
ahh, what the hell my last comment didn't get posted. I'm gonna go to sleep now so I can't bother to rewrite all that. Just add me on steam if you want more criticism. My steam is steamcommunity.com/id/cynaggot/
Your last comment did, but it wasn't posted here, instead, all the way down in the comment section. Here is it: --- (3:30) Movement looks unnatural. Also, some lighting would help. (3:56) Again, unnatural poses. (4:10) We don't really see the scout pushing, but making him a pushing pose would be much better. (4:17) Making characters talk and do nothing is boring. (4:22) Good visual gag, but at (4:26), when he's rolling he just stays stiff. (4:31) Maybe add some lighting effects, when the things explode? (4:36) Good visual gag again. (4:56) Wouldn't sniper just shoot him? Well, it's just weird, maybe making him appear and then instantly you show Pyro swinging his pan and then cut to Medic and cue the pan SFX. (5:09) I find this joke unfunny. And seems a bit pointless. Maybe with a better buildup it'd work. (5:20) Camera shake would really help here. (5:30) Liked the joke. I hope you learnt something. If you want more criticism you can add me Steam. My link is steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198121590248/ ---
You have excellent timing: barring any unforeseen problems, the third episode will be out next Friday - and personally I think it's the best one so far.
4:37 I can see that the scout still manages to defi reloading logic by replacing the gun but still useing the at that point empty mag just like how he reloads the scatter gun without putting in mor bullets

TheInfectedFilms yesh, episode 2 is a good idea.
TheInfectedFilms qlaa
TheInfectedFilms sdf
TheInfectedFilms ?
"MMMMMHMHMMHPPHHH!"
"Are you sure?"
"Mmph mmmph."
"Well, I'm convinced!"
Best conversation ever.
How can the medic understand him?
@@ninjauser3808 when you spend some time with a teammate, you can pick up a thing or two on what Pyro is saying.
@@ninjauser3808 because he is medic
4:38 probably the best reload animation I've ever seen.
Ok 👍 that iq is gone for me bye
If anyone asks, it was a rental for these guns 😂😂😂😂
4:36 what its like reloading as scout
erin moore i did not even noticed, as if it was normal XD
Is a Matrix ,Movie Reference boi
I want to see that pistol reload animation in the normal game
th-cam.com/video/_3V-jwHpDYg/w-d-xo.html
That pistol reload was hilarious
Battlefield Reference.
+Savage more like infinite warfare
4:43 honestly my favorite part. I actually could imagine a real life heavy and soldier screaming at each other like this.
P.S. almost 4 years later the legends say that heavy and soldier are still just screaming at each other.
Me(as pyro): " hello!"
Red sniper: "holy s***!"
4:35 A poor excuse saying that you have an infinite number of ammo and a poor amount of weaponry.
4:34
2:57
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make french toast.
4:43 Optimus Heavy Vs SoldierTron
no its optimus pootis vs maggottron
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who found that part funny. XD
Yeah
Autoreds Vs Deceptiblus
OH MY GOD... when Spy exploded with baguettes XDDDDD
French fireworks
Salvage you dont know how much i hate france right now

3:00

loved the part when scout throws his gun away and reloads with a new one. Y U no have more subs :/
+ golden
Battlefield reference
Yeah
Reaper meme lol
I got triggered.
We need to make that scout reloading his pistol a mod
5:07
That needs to be a new taunt kill lol
I totally agree!
BSU3000 yes yes
BSU3000, you said it bro
BSU3000 e
Must be called "Scottish Shot"
4:50
Sniper: I see you ???
Pyro: hmmmmpphhhhhh
Sniper: holy *peep*
This I my favorite moment of the video
The scout reload is so true
As mentioned, this video is a pilot of sorts: A Pair of Moronic Mercenaries could become a series if you fellas would like to see more half-arsed insanity like this. That being said, we REALLY would appreciate your opinion of this video, so go ahead and rate it, comment it, and/or tell your friends!
TheInfectedFilms.... Good vid i have been a subscriber for about.... Idk a really long time and yes i would like to so more Of this (i would Also like more moron vs machines XD but i do like your work so keep IT up)
TheInfectedFilms This was some really good shit.It has potential.Anyways,it's good to see another video from one of my favorite SFM'mers.
TheInfectedFilms... Also if you do more can you add a demoman with the scotich resistence a green bandana and a like protector suit That would be awsome to see (srry prbly spelled everything wrong XD)
MORE EXPLOSIONS!
Dude!!! You did it again!! Congrats.
5:57 Demo has the core strength of a greek legend....
5:01 When i kill my dominator
This is a real high-quality TF2 SFM video. Good action, balanced comedy, and new ideas. I love it!
I also loved the teamwork between Medic and Pyro. Wish I watched it years ago
3:15 "oh Hey I Am a unicorne" 💜😂😂
Oh hey i am a unicorn
*bam*
You approached the scenes and the animation in a way that suits the aesthetic of the piece as a whole. In the sense of progression and exploitation being relative to the universe being used, it is quite brilliant. Good job!
the borneo war *pl_borneo flashbacks*
4:43 Cold war in a nutchell
5:24
soldier: "come here cupcake"
me: "you can't be that stupid soldier"
medic: (pokes cart and roll's into the red team)
solider: "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
me: "the track's leads into you idiot's"
Explosion
me: "ugh idiot's"
2:15 pyros reaction is priceless
I just like the way spy nonchalantly talks to his teammates about his sexual adventures with architectural structures. While everyone is obsessed with the way scout “reloaded” his pistol.
The scout throwing a pistol was hilarious... I love that kind of "dumb" humour!
Lets just say i was thinking about unsubscribing a few days ago due to lack of new videos. Well, I ended up rejecting the idea. This video makes me proud of that decision. Absolutely amazing video.
This was great amazing! Bonus points to the fact you ended off with my favorite Dance
Hell yeah!Infected Films is back!
This reminds me a lot of the moron vs machine series you guys did, happily I loved that series so I'd love to see more of this as well. I'm a sucker for the TF2 mercs being moronic.
3:14 The scout said “Oh Hey im a unicorn!” Then the pyro pan’s him cuz he hate’s unicorn scout
this was an amazing sfm you did amazing and i hope to see more amazing sfms like this one :)
This was so good! It was so funny, that i actually went to a borneo map and tried to inflitrate the enemy base as a medic and with a friend of mine as the pyro. Well, you can pretty much imagine what was the result...
We both died horribly.
*demoman dances one hand and 2 legs*
me: *imposible*
I like how you finished it with like the best taunt in the game XD
10/10
Oh man, the scout reloading his handgun was the best part.
WHY ARE THE ANIMATIONS SO SMOOTH?!
Love you guys's sense of humor!
OMG its been so long ive been waiting for this moment. I loved the animation keep up the good work m8
Infected is back! Wow. I love your MvM vids! Keep up the good work.
Things went really screwy when the Blu team pushed their advantage, like when Scout tossed his pistol and replaced it with another one despite using the same clip (THAT GOT ME! XD) and Demo's burp!
0:36 Sharpshooter: 'No, soldier! They injured, the red members was too much!'
5:50 I was expecting to hear the Rick roll song
You brightened my day. Thank you
You animations are hilarious and thrilling. You've earned a new subscriber. And although they are funny, some of them have a sad tone. It's still amazing though how people can do that like you.
Ah, I missed this! You have such a "unique" animation style! Not unique in a bad sense, I just can't place it, it's entirely your own!
4:36 That reloading XD
Not enough snipers on that tower 8/10
1:08 hurts just to look at. When I sometimes pretend to be a caterpillar, I arch my back, not my legs in that painful looking way.
1:06
Me when I have to wake up in the morning to go to school.
Directed by Michael Bay
The comedic timing and overall feel could use a bit of refining, but it's good! I'd personally like seeing a series of this.
Well, there we have it: This video reached it's monthly view quota in LESS THAN A WEEK. Your feedback has also been overwhelmingly positive, as have the ratings. And thanks to it we also reached a new daily view record!
Consider this an official confirmation for a series. We'll probably begin working on a second part in January.
Again, thanks to all of you for your feedback!
Epico video man I subscribe and like
TheInfectedFilms Dear infected,
This is probably one of my favorable sfm makes EVER! Nice work!
TheInfectedFilms will you make it longer than your average 2 part series
:D
TheInfectedFilms I would really like too see more of this
This was so clean I loved it!
That medic is what battle medics think they look like and the pyro represents their actual skill level. O_O'
How unfortunate for the engineers. They paid more attention to pyro than the bomb.
Same goes for the soldier he paid more attention to the blu team than the medic. How dumb are they!?
5:55 *PERFECT*
Fantastic. Just love it! Keep up the fantastic work and take your time on your videos. Happy Holidays!
Yet another good SFM video with comedy nice work
The Scout reloading was gold.
Really smooth animation quality, Loved it!
1:28 Sneak increased to 100. 2:41 Incompetence increased to *system failure* *entered number too large*
the best way to end off a match, the kazotsky k i c c
I loved this. couldn't stop laughing. The look on pyro when he stepped on that duck
even tho it has a god awful rendering quality it's 1 one of the best animation movements iv ever seen smooth yet not over exaggerated over-all i like it
Thanks! That was nice! I would like to see this as a series m9!
Oh wait XD. You already said that.
4:38 'After them, Scout reloading throwing gun instead of magazine.'
This is so well animated it looks like Eltrorro's GMOD animations. (Movement is really smooth, almost like Eltrorro's Gmod animations)
When soilder blown the horn I was happy and I forgot about the overs
Very very nice. Some animations are a bit slow, but wow 6 min?
Skyriad give me one TH-cam channel that you don't comment in cuz I see you everywhere :/
I really liked some of the visual gags, like the pan to the head, barrel and gun reload. I'd say it has potential, but your camera angles, pacing and animation is a bit weak. If you want a detailed info about what you can improve, just ask. And I'll reply with a long paragraph breaking the vid down.
Sure, always looking for detailed feedback.
Alright, so at 0:10 camera angle looks a bit dull, maybe try to move cam a bit to up-right to apply the rule of thirds. (you can google it) The camera spin is unnecessary and panning down would work a lot better, plus try to add a bit of ease out when the camera is about to stop panning. Also, try to tweak your render settings, the video looks really pixelly.
After the spy pops up his head, (0:16) if you add a downward motion to it (head moves up, then down a bit) [check the 12 principles of animation for further reading]) it would feel more natural.

(1:06) I don't know how you could improve this, seeing that the legs are moving the opposite direction, just looks weird. But maybe you could hide his left side so it'd look more cartoony.
(1:10) Google "sneaky walk cycle" for ideas. The tip-toeing looks weird.
(1:17) If you're not confident in your animation skills, I'd say don't cut from the movement you couldn't do. Try to learn it. That's how you improve, also observe real movement so you can copy it.
*I will continuing my criticism on my next comment*
(1:27) I liked the camera shake there. Also maybe around (0:25) if the camera was behind his shoulder, the shot would look better.
(1:33) Adding downwards movement after Pyro pops his head up would make it more natural.
(1:36) A lot of negative space around characters, also how is the scout laughing like that? Not mandatory, but maybe tweaking some sounds' L and R channels would be better. Like when Scout says "Oh man" while it's cut to Engis.
(1:49) Showing him running would make that better.
(2:07) I think the Duck's sound echoing is a bit too much exaggeration, even for a cartoony style. Maybe you could add a plot twist/gag by making the Duck being alive and screaming when Pyro steps on it
(2:15) I liked the eyes and the stone roll effect. But maybe you could make his eyes pop, when the duck sound is heard. Would add more emotion to it, and would be funnier.
(2:25) Giving asymmetry to Engis' poses would make that shot better. Also who would shake in a situation like that like the Engis do?
(2:35) Maybe, make a dispenser fall from the sky? Y'kno emphasis on the parts being there.
(2:50) Making the hands shaky would be easy. And make the fight more believable.
(2:55) I'm pretty sure nobody would stand still when launched through a rocket to the sky.
(3:08) Um, don't just frame the hand. Show what happened.
(3:10) Really liked the joke. But maybe if you made the head go down in a cartoony style, it'd be better. Btw liking the camera shakes.
*more criticism on the next comment*
ahh, what the hell my last comment didn't get posted. I'm gonna go to sleep now so I can't bother to rewrite all that. Just add me on steam if you want more criticism. My steam is steamcommunity.com/id/cynaggot/
Your last comment did, but it wasn't posted here, instead, all the way down in the comment section. Here is it:
---
(3:30) Movement looks unnatural. Also, some lighting would help.
(3:56) Again, unnatural poses.
(4:10) We don't really see the scout pushing, but making him a pushing pose would be much better.
(4:17) Making characters talk and do nothing is boring.
(4:22) Good visual gag, but at (4:26), when he's rolling he just stays stiff.
(4:31) Maybe add some lighting effects, when the things explode?
(4:36) Good visual gag again.
(4:56) Wouldn't sniper just shoot him? Well, it's just weird, maybe making him appear and then instantly you show Pyro swinging his pan and then cut to Medic and cue the pan SFX.
(5:09) I find this joke unfunny. And seems a bit pointless. Maybe with a better buildup it'd work.
(5:20) Camera shake would really help here.
(5:30) Liked the joke.
I hope you learnt something. If you want more criticism you can add me Steam. My link is steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198121590248/

You sure do love explosions!
I keep replaying the red sniper and the blue purple I did that in the game when I was scout and hoovy
4:35 WHAT! THE WAY THAT SCOUT RELOAD XD
This was really really good
4:39 pure freaking genius
2:06 sorry but i thought that was one of the most epic movie moments.
*spy explodes into breadsticks* me: just an avarage sfm animation
I love everything in this, good job
Update: I watched the second episode, loved it as well
You have excellent timing: barring any unforeseen problems, the third episode will be out next Friday - and personally I think it's the best one so far.
4:37 I can see that the scout still manages to defi reloading logic by replacing the gun but still useing the at that point empty mag just like how he reloads the scatter gun without putting in mor bullets
why was 2:06 so funny to me I haven't laughed in awhile so I give you a clap for that one
4:20 well someone’s been eating their spinach
Kinda like that , it would be awesome if it became a series
Lol, that shouting match @ 4:42... XD XD XD
5:36 You just got meh triggerd
Ewan Creskeyallan I was gonna comment the same thing XD
3:08 easily the best part of this video
loved it, not a super scout
4:54 that sound I’ve never hear him say that be fore
There is a lot of strange things about this
Perfect
Very well animated
you can imagine
that this is what war is like
5:07 lol
I was almost thinking about making that in game :)
I like how the scout threw away the pistol and grabbed another one
11/10 would get backstabbed again.
*needs to reload gun, throws gun, proceeds to get another gun and put the empty clip in the gun and starts shooting again*
Makes sense
