Meet the Sniper comes from Valve's Team Fortress 2 promotional short of the same name, released as part of the game's class spotlight series. The Sniper's Australian accent, dry delivery, and calculated attitude made the video a fan favourite in online gaming culture. Short excerpts from it spread through machinima, YouTube edits, and meme compilations, especially among TF2 players. The clip still gets used because it instantly signals the Sniper character and the game's mix of action, timing, and dark comedy.
