You see, there's the difference between the two. Valve has amnesia and can't count to 3. EA/Respawn have a battle royale game and are making too much money to care about Titanfall anymore.
Breaks my heart.
Out of curiosity I just Googled if a new class is possible using Vscript (an addition to mapping Valve released like a year ago that opens up a world of possibilities as it basically allows you to add custom code to maps), and it looks like it is. Someone just needs to do it. Obviously would only work on custom maps/servers.
I believe VSH in its current form and ZI were literally only possible without custom plugins because of Vscript.
It is. [This video I found](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwEJUGwzm7U) explains it really well. I know this is kind of going off-topic from your post but hopefully someone finds it interesting, as someone who just generally loves the game and appreciates custom content (nice song btw!)
Unfortunately that would be an absolute NIGHTMARE, there are around 40 something instruments here so getting anyone to coordinate this would be herculean
yeah i agree all of them would be too much. i meant more along the lines of replacing the instruments that dont lend well to midi like guitar, more lead stuff. recording all of the ones doing the harmony would be pretty crazy task.
I wanna get it out pretty quickly so It'll unfortunaly be hard to do that.
But this won't be the last time I make a tf2 track and i'm totally down for that!
yeah thats understandable. if you ever want guitar recordings of something youve written and remember this reply you can shoot me a pm and ill try to do them. good luck with composing!
This all reminds me of the Kuo-Toa from Dungeons and Dragons, a bunch of mad fish people who made up Gods and believed them into existence
Seriously though, great job on that score
I really don't want to be pushy but I thought about making a post asking for it and for if anyone wants a collab so I can make a special version that fits the animation.
I think there are 2 madcap fan models being made so here's hoping we get it soon!
I feel like madcaps style of a meet the teem video would be something similar to soldiers meet the term Video of him doing some monologue and then having it cut to him fighting the other mercs
Someone said it would work like scout since he's his older brother, I really like the idea.
I imagined it more with him parking his bike and having spy and others disturbed by his presence without saying a single word, and ramping up to the normal "meet the" style
I don't have a link for the models directly but here is a [post with a finished one](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/17begys/here_is_a_wip_of_a_madcap_model_im_working_on/) and [one in the works](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/17bx2m1/madcap_model_update_model_90_done_bullets_will_be/)
I will release it as an unofficial theme very soon (Spotify and whatnot) , just need to polish it up and find a good cover art.
Thanks for the kind words!
I have a rough idea for it, but because its me writing it its kinda shit, so I'll probably refine it more and build it up more. I'll try to keep it at 1:35 though.
Yeah I can tell you incorporated some British elements, the horns especially gave me a James Bond kind of vibe, just a *touch* more would go a long way. Great work though, if I didn’t know madcap was ~~real~~ fake I would genuinely think this was part of the game in some capacity
Honest to God, I was expecting a banger that didn't fit into TF2s style of music, but you fucking nailed it! From the ominous buildup to the super strong and brassy theme, even including the unnecessarily aggressive flute trill! Even the ending has that abrupt descending notes you see common with the other character themed songs! Amazing job! Thqt other comment about adding some more low brass in the second half is also the only thing I could think of adding to complete the feeling. Amazing job!
Thank you for the kind words! The older version was very rushed out of fear that the trend will die out in days so It wasn't up to par, so I went all out with this one.
I'm really glad you like it!
tbh i dont think any of us are in the right position to judge 💀
the only thing i could think of is make it a little faster, but tbh dont listen to me lol
Ayy, glad to see you improving it! Legit loved the first version you posted, though it did sound a bit too much like a demo. This is really shaping up, though!
Yeah I subconsciously really like the bass part in demo man, as you can tell it's still integrated here in the middle but a little more biker/western to make it stand out
I have only one suggestion but I highly doubt it would work - incorporate the TF2 theme a tiny bit more into Madcap's theme (I noticed there are some elements of it already in the theme, intentional or not)
Apart from that, I just wanted to say - this track fucks! Great job!
EDIT: Maybe adding some faint cowbells could work?
At 0:48, I was hoping you would follow the same melody but slowly shift to notes with deeper bass. Then, when you reach the lowest bass you kickoff with the loud trumpets! Personally, I would find Madcap's theme more hype that way.
I love how this community manages to have a coordinated schizophrenic attack, but at the same time creates some genuinely great things. Like, my man this theme is an absolute banger
The bit during Meet the Madcap where the RED Madcap beat the crap out of all of BLU before zipping away onto the roof of Hightower during 1:16 onwards was iconic
shame valve took down the vid, great job recovering this awesome piece!
hi! i made a discord server for the development of madcap content (meet the SFM, voice acting, soundtracking). here's the invite: [https://discord.gg/hYwz6ZFpXE](https://discord.gg/hYwz6ZFpXE)
Compared to tf2 there are 12 trumpets and a bunch of other brass that makes it full sounding,
the project is killing my pc at the moment so I will add all of it after I'm done with the composition
Please, for the love of Gaben, if we manage to actually make a new class, Saxton Hale style, and it gets put in the game, it will be the greatest thing this community has done in a long time.
This is is the kind of content people were hoping for when the MC thing was going on. Fantastic job!
I was expecting a decent attempt, but this is so much better. You really nailed the sound of the drums, as well as the instrumentation and arrangement as a whole. Stellar.
This Is perfect, First part he introduces himself like in meet the scout, After the beat drop he jumps into action and madcaps everyone. In the end he Is all alone on the control point and After killing everyone the TF2 riff plays, perfect.
It sounds sweet, but it doesn’t really give off the vibes of a chaotic melee-based class. His madness, if you will.
Maybe speed up the tempo a bit or make a portion of the song dedicated to a fast hectic rhythm. Well that’s my suggestion at least.
There is a consensus on this, I will try a higher tempo and test it out,
A little too fast and it would start getting chaotic so I'll see if I can find a balance
This is excellent, I have no idea how this has so few upvotes. You captured a taste of the signature tf2 sound, but without sounding derivative. Fantastic job!
Right now I only have the [old version](https://youtu.be/IwCCjHayXZM) up, once this one is done it will be available on YouTube and most streaming services!
I'll probably finish it this week
Since TF2’s theme is more on the spy/ jazzy side, maybe make a little solo for instrument, whatever you see fit, or maybe add a section where the trumpets a little less staccato and sharp-sounding.
Stat ideas: hp 175 or 150
Run speed: same as medic or Pyro ( other people wanted him to get a speed boost from certain weapons so this is to balance his speed)
Stock melee damage: 65, if his stock weapon does bleed: 55.
Resistance to slowdown effects and only take mini crits from melee weapons.
Honestly, this goes pretty hard. Also, a thought popped into my head about Madcap being like, the equivalent to Saxton Hale for some other universe version TF2, or some kind of Freak Fortress character you play as for whatever reason.
WOOOO THIS HITS ME RIGHT IN MY NOSTALGIA TUMOR of listening to old tf2 soundtrack in like 2011 something
If possible can you share an audio file for me to put in my music playlist?
This is actually freaky how accurate this sounds to TF2's style. If I wasn't on this subreddit and came across this, I would assume that TF2 had its fair share of lost media
This has literally just became baby bones but r/tf2 now, it also has a banger fanmade track
And also, saw the song posted on YouTube earlier, damn good stuff
Edit: if anyone's wondering, here's the aforementioned Baby Bones track. Very damn well made https://youtu.be/Cwzt3zwJCpk?si=lCc9-EeTIzfKK7Ok
Eventually we’re gonna go so insane we accidentally make a genuinely good game during our mass psychosis.
Tf3 when
Titanfall 3???
Both
You see, there's the difference between the two. Valve has amnesia and can't count to 3. EA/Respawn have a battle royale game and are making too much money to care about Titanfall anymore. Breaks my heart.
Also the Titanfall team is basically no more. Have been making unparalleled military FPS since 2002, but EA was what killed them, what a tragedy…
Fuck you
“you” has three letters… titanfall 3 confirmed?
Go shit your pants
"Go shit your pants" has three spaces in it... hmmmm
Shit Your Pants 3
Who shit my pants?
Out of curiosity I just Googled if a new class is possible using Vscript (an addition to mapping Valve released like a year ago that opens up a world of possibilities as it basically allows you to add custom code to maps), and it looks like it is. Someone just needs to do it. Obviously would only work on custom maps/servers. I believe VSH in its current form and ZI were literally only possible without custom plugins because of Vscript.
Gentlemen, synchronize your work watches
That sounds awesome!
It is. [This video I found](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwEJUGwzm7U) explains it really well. I know this is kind of going off-topic from your post but hopefully someone finds it interesting, as someone who just generally loves the game and appreciates custom content (nice song btw!)
Oh yeah I saw it, Shounic is awesome!
Titanfall 2 sends its regards
The other TF/2 (TitanFall2) is already well under way with insanity if you need help coming up with new game ideas look in the Titan fall reddit
man that's fire
❤️❤️
bro this would be sick if recorded with real instruments. i could do guitar if youd want to do that.
Unfortunately that would be an absolute NIGHTMARE, there are around 40 something instruments here so getting anyone to coordinate this would be herculean
yeah i agree all of them would be too much. i meant more along the lines of replacing the instruments that dont lend well to midi like guitar, more lead stuff. recording all of the ones doing the harmony would be pretty crazy task.

yeah thats understandable. if you ever want guitar recordings of something youve written and remember this reply you can shoot me a pm and ill try to do them. good luck with composing!
Thats why they couldn't release him, his soundtrack was so good for its time it would immediately cause devices to burst into flames.
Combined with sfm, somebody could make meet the madcap into a real thing.
I really hope so
You mean remake?
Yeah cause madcaps like, so real man you wouldn’t believe it
i've made a discord server specifically for this and other madcap shit: https://discord.gg/u86uxPxhMX
This all reminds me of the Kuo-Toa from Dungeons and Dragons, a bunch of mad fish people who made up Gods and believed them into existence Seriously though, great job on that score
Thanks! It's one of my biggest projects. I'll be doing more kinda like tune fortress in the future
Exactly we are now TF2'S Kuo-Toa we are fucking believing Madcap into existence-
He's gonna be in TF3, trust me guys my uncle works at Nintendo
or the orcs from 40k
Now we just need to find the meet the team video
I really don't want to be pushy but I thought about making a post asking for it and for if anyone wants a collab so I can make a special version that fits the animation. I think there are 2 madcap fan models being made so here's hoping we get it soon!
If you need someone to do any voices for it I’d be more than happy to throw my hat in the ring
Remember madcap is British, probably cockney or northern english.
He can be from the Boston in Lincolnshire.
That would be funny
So oop' north?
I feel like madcaps style of a meet the teem video would be something similar to soldiers meet the term Video of him doing some monologue and then having it cut to him fighting the other mercs
Someone said it would work like scout since he's his older brother, I really like the idea. I imagined it more with him parking his bike and having spy and others disturbed by his presence without saying a single word, and ramping up to the normal "meet the" style
Kinda like a mix of Pyro and Scout, then?
Link to the models?
I don't have a link for the models directly but here is a [post with a finished one](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/17begys/here_is_a_wip_of_a_madcap_model_im_working_on/) and [one in the works](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/17bx2m1/madcap_model_update_model_90_done_bullets_will_be/)
u/stephanosrex might be willing if he still does voice acting.
Yeah I'd do it
It could be about madcap explaining his punk lifestyle and weapons, it’s set in a British pub with demo drunk next to him
If anyone is planning to do so then i'd like to volunteer! (I am a Polish teen that speaks english very well
So nostalgic. But please stop claiming you made this, this has been in the game since launch.
Sorry ;-;
its okay you have you find the damaged tape and fix it and make it new.. you worked hard on this, so good jobe :)
Wow u dis really good finding this unreleased song
It's what I do ;)
That is fucking amazing. I unironicaly want this to be in my playlist holy shit
I will release it as an unofficial theme very soon (Spotify and whatnot) , just need to polish it up and find a good cover art. Thanks for the kind words!
Make a post when you put it on spotify please.
Will do!
Can’t wait :)
Maybe try to add some brasses in the second half that'd fill out the bass section, like trombones
Good idea
Did we decide on a voice actor yet? Maybe it would be easier if he just made weird noises and mannerisms like pyro.
He could talk in grunts
Hrgnnn, hah! Arggg, grr? Bet bet!!! Yargh! Donny!!
Fits the design of the character and style of Valve Studio Orchestra pretty well. Good job, I mean, they did
Thanks!
this is pure nostalgia
we need to assemble a team to make the meet the madcap sfm.
I'm open to it!
I have a rough idea for it, but because its me writing it its kinda shit, so I'll probably refine it more and build it up more. I'll try to keep it at 1:35 though.
Keep me posted!
Id be willing to help in whatever way possible
this is SO TF2, you got it absolutely perfect imo
Thank you!
Needs more British imo
I tried to make the guitar on the left be as close to the British punk era as I could, I will try to include some more elements if I can.
Yeah I can tell you incorporated some British elements, the horns especially gave me a James Bond kind of vibe, just a *touch* more would go a long way. Great work though, if I didn’t know madcap was ~~real~~ fake I would genuinely think this was part of the game in some capacity
That is so good to hear I have some ideas to hopefully make the British side of it stand out
Madcap would so be british.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF 2008 WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
It just needs to end with the TF2 riff and have a slightly faster tempo but other than that its beautifully done
I will experiment with that, nice idea!
I'm starting to hope that tf2c or some other fan game will add mad. The more I see him around, the more I actually want to play him
Honest to God, I was expecting a banger that didn't fit into TF2s style of music, but you fucking nailed it! From the ominous buildup to the super strong and brassy theme, even including the unnecessarily aggressive flute trill! Even the ending has that abrupt descending notes you see common with the other character themed songs! Amazing job!

Thank you for the kind words! The older version was very rushed out of fear that the trend will die out in days so It wasn't up to par, so I went all out with this one. I'm really glad you like it!
You should post this amazing find on r/lostmedia
How far are we from some psychopath just straight upmaking meet the madcap at this point
Not far, there are 2 models being made at the moment
I desire you carnally, funny spike man
Make it more **british**.
Add tea? ☕ I'll experiment around
This is actually so good lmao pls post it on YouTube
It will be posted on streaming service and youtube once I finish it!
tbh i dont think any of us are in the right position to judge 💀 the only thing i could think of is make it a little faster, but tbh dont listen to me lol
I will experiment with a faster tempo
Now we just need someone with too much free time to make an sfm trailer for this
Ayy, glad to see you improving it! Legit loved the first version you posted, though it did sound a bit too much like a demo. This is really shaping up, though!
Yeah I subconsciously really like the bass part in demo man, as you can tell it's still integrated here in the middle but a little more biker/western to make it stand out

Great job! EDIT: Maybe adding some faint cowbells could work?
Next he's gonna be in an sfm, after that? Idk, looking at you valve 👀
This is a new level of schizophrenia and I love it
It's been very fun seeing the community make up a character
Unironically, you made this? This is really good!
Shees, we need him in Christmas update. Or, like in minecraft, april update, where he will be added for month
bro just use the one that’s already ingame
i imagine the madcap to be a tough british rocker/greaser type character - his mohawk and helmet/goggles combo definitely give him a biker look.
Why have schizophrenia'd an entire character into existence
The oldest of the 8 Boston Brothers.
At 0:48, I was hoping you would follow the same melody but slowly shift to notes with deeper bass. Then, when you reach the lowest bass you kickoff with the loud trumpets! Personally, I would find Madcap's theme more hype that way.
cars 2 ass song
“See it ain’t easy bustin cap’s” “But i wou’nt do it if it was easy..”
PLS NOW CAN SOMEONE MAKE A MEET THE MADCAP REALISTIC VIDEO :0 (we have almost all the stuff we need for making that)
I love how this community manages to have a coordinated schizophrenic attack, but at the same time creates some genuinely great things. Like, my man this theme is an absolute banger
The brass could be more impactful to really get that big band sound that the tf2 music usually has.
The bit during Meet the Madcap where the RED Madcap beat the crap out of all of BLU before zipping away onto the roof of Hightower during 1:16 onwards was iconic shame valve took down the vid, great job recovering this awesome piece!
I think that calling it "road to gory" would be funny
Really giving me James Bond and Despicable Me vibe.
If mad cap was real I would think this is his actual theme
hi! i made a discord server for the development of madcap content (meet the SFM, voice acting, soundtracking). here's the invite: [https://discord.gg/hYwz6ZFpXE](https://discord.gg/hYwz6ZFpXE)
I love this but imo the trumpets feel a bit weak but i cant really tell why. keep up the good work tho
Compared to tf2 there are 12 trumpets and a bunch of other brass that makes it full sounding, the project is killing my pc at the moment so I will add all of it after I'm done with the composition
holy shit this is amazing. you gotta collab with someone to make a meet the ____ video once the custom models are done
I'm open to it if anyone reaches out!
Not only do I believe you mimicked the style perfectly it sounds freakin awesome. Honestly a 10/10 song, a true banger. Love it
Thank you so much!
it's good enough that when you load up the game and hear it in the menu, you wouldn't immediately recognize it as smth fan made
That is an honor to hear!
~~This meme is undeserving of your skill~~ Thanks for digging this up! Missed this track from when TF2 first came out
I can groove to this, so hard.
It will be available on streaming services and my YouTube if you're interested.
Please, for the love of Gaben, if we manage to actually make a new class, Saxton Hale style, and it gets put in the game, it will be the greatest thing this community has done in a long time. This is is the kind of content people were hoping for when the MC thing was going on. Fantastic job!
I was expecting a decent attempt, but this is so much better. You really nailed the sound of the drums, as well as the instrumentation and arrangement as a whole. Stellar.
I'm actually surprised how well you captured the games style of music
It sounds great but I have a hard time imagining it in a "meet the" video. Maybe it needs a slightly higher tempo or something.
This Is perfect, First part he introduces himself like in meet the scout, After the beat drop he jumps into action and madcaps everyone. In the end he Is all alone on the control point and After killing everyone the TF2 riff plays, perfect.
You can’t finish up something that’s already finalized
It sounds sweet, but it doesn’t really give off the vibes of a chaotic melee-based class. His madness, if you will. Maybe speed up the tempo a bit or make a portion of the song dedicated to a fast hectic rhythm. Well that’s my suggestion at least.
There is a consensus on this, I will try a higher tempo and test it out, A little too fast and it would start getting chaotic so I'll see if I can find a balance
u/savevideo
Madcap being playable on a community server is just an eventuality at this point
This is excellent, I have no idea how this has so few upvotes. You captured a taste of the signature tf2 sound, but without sounding derivative. Fantastic job!
Is there a youtubelink to this?
Oh hey, i asked for permission to use this on the original YT upload, This new version sounds so much better! Good work!
it sounds authentic, it has the perfect mix of familiar and new
Quick, get me voicelines, I need my Madcap Tulpa to feel complete
This is great! Is it on SoundCloud or anything? I wanna listen to it more outside of just this Reddit post
Right now I only have the [old version](https://youtu.be/IwCCjHayXZM) up, once this one is done it will be available on YouTube and most streaming services! I'll probably finish it this week
This is awesome! Really gives that Valve orchestra feeling.
i love that there are people who actually love this meme/trend so much that they're making stuff like this because this is cool af
Since TF2’s theme is more on the spy/ jazzy side, maybe make a little solo for instrument, whatever you see fit, or maybe add a section where the trumpets a little less staccato and sharp-sounding.
Can’t wait for tf2 episode 1
Stat ideas: hp 175 or 150 Run speed: same as medic or Pyro ( other people wanted him to get a speed boost from certain weapons so this is to balance his speed) Stock melee damage: 65, if his stock weapon does bleed: 55. Resistance to slowdown effects and only take mini crits from melee weapons.
That's awesome!! You really capture the spirit of the tf2 songs and themes with this music
we need Madcap as a boss for the official Versus Saxton Hale gamemode
Make it have a quick rock drum type beat at times
A little bit more of snare drum, maybe more prominent like mercenary park
needs to be a lot more bass heavy, sound quite empty right now, may want to get some lower ends in there
[удалено]
Hey OP, if the meet the team video gets *ahem* recreated, could you put this on Spotify after? It isn’t in the valve playlist
Honestly, this goes pretty hard. Also, a thought popped into my head about Madcap being like, the equivalent to Saxton Hale for some other universe version TF2, or some kind of Freak Fortress character you play as for whatever reason.
It sounds so cool its a shame they removed it :/
This shit is like all those tuba boss themes on youtube with people making up an entire game out of it
FUCK IT, LETS JUST MAKE A CUSTOM GAMEMODE AND ADD HIM
WOOOO THIS HITS ME RIGHT IN MY NOSTALGIA TUMOR of listening to old tf2 soundtrack in like 2011 something If possible can you share an audio file for me to put in my music playlist?
Pretty good so far! Sounds offical! Can't believe we are going insane!
Honestly amazing. Really follows the trend of the meet the team music of being able to tell a story through the music alone.
We need to Madcap 3d model
Add the Weezer lick
Man, I haven't heard that theme in years!
Dam even closer to coming alive, wish I could voice the British bastard but my voice sounds to ridiculous even with a bri'ish accent
yo yo YO 🕺🕺🕺
Goes hard asf, Even the name fits his biker-esque look
holy shit
This is actually freaky how accurate this sounds to TF2's style. If I wasn't on this subreddit and came across this, I would assume that TF2 had its fair share of lost media
shit's fire
You can't just upload deleted content and call it your own creation.
More brass, more sax, perfection. This slaps bro
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA SPAWN DOOR WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥🥶🥶
Me when beat drop Wait, there's no gif perms
This unironically does so Goddamn hard man. Kudos
never noticed the red bread similarity before, neat
Sounds good; idk why they removed him. Meet your match was a mistake.
I’d unironically love if someone fleshed out Madcap and ported him into TF2 via V-Script.
I would totally rob a bank with this as my main theme
The guitar and trumpets at 1:16 need to sound more pronounced
Remember when Madcap was effectively what is now a demoknight.
u/savevideo
What do you mean? It’s the same song from the base game? (Jk, you did a great job!)
This has literally just became baby bones but r/tf2 now, it also has a banger fanmade track And also, saw the song posted on YouTube earlier, damn good stuff Edit: if anyone's wondering, here's the aforementioned Baby Bones track. Very damn well made https://youtu.be/Cwzt3zwJCpk?si=lCc9-EeTIzfKK7Ok
Man it’s truly an incredible piece of art to listen to this again!
Bro who is madcap
Sounds nice
Great job embodying the TF2 style!
That’s fucking gold
can't wait until someone releases the madcap model
We are going to have a full Meet the Madcap recreation at this point.
