*The phrase ''"I've yet to meet someone who can outsmart a bullet"'' is probably a reference to Robocop's first movie, where one of the bad guys is robbing a gas station and the current employee is a young guy reading a geometry book so the villains tells him: ''"I bet you think you're pretty smart, think you can outsmart a bullet?"''.

*The phrase ''"It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds"'' line is contradicted by the Heavy's in-game [[Heavy achievements|achievement]] "Heavy Industry" which states "Fire 200,000 dollars worth of ammunition". If the latter was true, the achievement would take only 6 seconds to complete, instead in-game it takes roughly 1 minute and 45 seconds to complete it. However it could only count the ammo used and exclude the cost to actually fire the weapon.

*In the actual game, the Scout may say ''"$400,000 to fire that gun, huh? Yeah, money well spent!"'' or ''"Dem $200 bullets ain't so hot when they don't hit nothin', are dey?"'' upon dominating a Heavy. Also, since the Engineer Update, the Engineer may say, ''"Nevermind the bullets; how much all these coffins costin' ya?"'' This is one of only three times that the game references [[Sasha]] to its abnormally high maintenance cost that the Heavy claims in the video, the other is the "Heavy Industry" achievement.

*Meet the Heavy is the only ''[[Meet the]]'' video that uses the old posing of the characters (This is most likely because this was the only Meet the Team video made before the release of the final game, and thus was only marketing). They had more facial expressions in the later videos.

However, the alternate language, TF2 Official Website and the Valve YouTube versions of the video have had these features added to make them consistent with the newer videos.
  • The title card displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the Team" videos.
  • The kill icon for the Heavy's Minigun on the title card shown in the updated version is the original beta kill icon.
  • A HWM version of Heavy's beta model is used in this video, with a higher-detailed Minigun. His shirt also has the skull-and-crossbones emblem seen in his gibs.
  • The whiteboard behind the Heavy is shown on the 'World War Wednesday' page of the Über Update but blue ink is used, as it is being used by the BLU team.
  • The area where the Heavy is firing his Minigun is an earlier version of the first stage of the Attack/Defend Control Point map Dustbowl, where he is standing on the large rock just outside of the BLU spawn.
  • The Heavy fires his Minigun for exactly twelve seconds during the combat scene.
  • The Heavy's Minigun uses the old muzzle-flash in the video; it now has a softer appearance.
    • This is because Valve's particle system was still being worked on at the time.[1]

  • At 1:14, a BLU Sniper in the background can be seen briefly in reference pose before crouching.
  • Also at 1:14, the shells from the Minigun stop moving with it, causing them to appear out of thin air.
