Heavy

Cry some more!

— Team Fortress 2 • 2007

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

It is Heavy's taunt at the people he has just flattened: a bully's sneer from a man who also loves his Sandvich. The mock-baby wail that goes with it is pure Heavy, huge, gleeful and a bit childish. Players use it back at each other in chat and clips, and it sums up the game's cartoon-violence humour.

Team Fortress 2 launched on 10 October 2007 as part of Valve's The Orange Box. Heavy Weapons Guy, a huge Russian minigunner voiced by Gary Schwartz, has a stock of voice responses that play automatically. 'Cry some more!' is one of his kill responses, triggered when he kills more than one enemy within 20 seconds using his primary weapon. It sits beside other mocking cries, such as a baby-wailing impression and 'Keep crying, baby!'. The player hears it as Heavy mows down a cluster of enemy players.
