Team Fortress 2 is great. As a multiplayer title it differentiates completely from the first-person shooter by making the premise of kills somewhat irrelevant, all in place of a system that means teamplay and strategy needs to be more than just mere considerations. Which is great when you've got a good team to begin with. Unfortunately like all online games, the first sight of losing will scare many of your comrades away- quitting the game before it's even half-way through, and leaving you occasionally to defend for yourself against a full opposing team.

Ignis Solus then, the first external machinima of Team Fortress 2 and produced by Lit Fuse Films captures this sentiment unnervingly accurately, as a lone Pyro troop patrols the ground of 2Fort with one mission, and no-one but cardboard animals to speak to. The inclusion of little in-jokes, naturally, is a bonus to the overall appeal and execution of the film as a whole- the tone and production seemingly spot on.

Poor little Pyro.
