::I would suspect that if people had it now you'd see people offering it on trading websites such as TF2TP. Though I suppose it's possible that they are untradable and ungiftable.--[[User:Jordan|Jordan]] 21:19, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

So due to this being out of date, it's even noted so should we change the video to an up-to-date one or leave it there?

== That's quite a gallery ==
 
 
 
We don't need the weapon at every single possible angle. The view model and world model of the Quake original would be fine (maybe in the same image), plus the view model in TF2 (with no background) and then whatever promo image Valve might make would be plenty. Right now we have 3 images from Quake, and a view of Soldier holding the weapon and it's just kind of different than how we do other weapons. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 05:23, 4 August 2011 (PDT)
 
: Just to reiterate, do we really need Deathmatch Classic images? [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 13:00, 4 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:: Yeah, the DMC view model really seems out of place. DMC is just a recreation of Quakeworld, of course they're going to be similar.
 
:: What I would like to see is a world model from Quake. More of this model is based on that than Quake's extremely undetailed view model. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 15:42, 5 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
==Function==
 
 
 
So does this function the same way as the [[Rocket Launcher]]? I put up the sentence in the introduction that says it is, but it was removed, despite it clearly functioning exactly like the Rocket Launcher. Is the information on the page just false, or what? [[User:Shane Alvarado|Shane Alvarado]] 10:26, 4 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
:Forget it, I see now. Still, a very slight difference. [[User:Shane Alvarado|Shane Alvarado]] 10:34, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

== Crafting ==
 
 
 
The page states there are crafting numbers, but there is no recipe, and it says it is "promotional". Can it be crafted using tokens, or is the crafting numbers an oversight? [[User:Rocket Ship BBQ|Rocket Ship BBQ]] 11:10, 5 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:The craft number is there because it has the 'Can be a numbered craft' attribute in the schema for when it does become craftable.

== Files found before release - Trivia or not? ==
 
A line about the weapon's files that were found before release was added to bugs recently. It was then removed and moved to trivia. Do you think it's "trivia worthy", or should the line be removed completely? <span style="font-family: TF2 Build; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">[[File:User_Heffebaycay_stslogo.png|link=Special:Contributions/Dragory]] [[User:Dragory|Dragory]]</span> 23:15, 12 August 2011 (PDT)
 
: I'm in favor of removal. The Pip-Boy was usable through the same methods, sans the revised HUD. In this case, it's also mentioned in the update news that they had added new items for upcoming promotions. Considering they outright said they were there, noting that they were there doesn't call for trivia as far as I'm concerned. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 23:20, 12 August 2011 (PDT)
 
::They mentioned it in the update news? Then I vote for removal myself, too. <span style="font-family: TF2 Build; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">[[File:User_Heffebaycay_stslogo.png|link=Special:Contributions/Dragory]] [[User:Dragory|Dragory]]</span> 01:07, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:::Yeah, remove this. It's true for every item added to the game prior to announcement and things working differently in itemtest is already mentioned in the itemtest article. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 13:32, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
==Draw sound trivia==
 
Regarding the removal of 'the draw sound of the weapon is audible to other players' [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Original&diff=670267&oldid=670261 here], I wish for more opinions on this. As far as I am aware, should you spectate someone who switches active weapons, no sounds are played. However, for the Original, the draw sound is distinctly audible both to nearby players in the game and spectators of the Soldier. This is surely notable, not as first x of y, but as a mere point of interest.--<span style="color:purple">'''''[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]]'''''</span> 14:03, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
: It's just louder, more noticeable than the rest. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 14:04, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:: Smashman and I just tested it. He did hear a noise when I drew the Original but not with any other weapon. To further test, he edited tf/sound/weapons so that draw sounds would play a loud beep. Only Original made this beep. Quod erat demonstrandum.--<span style="color:purple">'''''[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]]'''''</span> 14:36, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
::: Regardless, simple observations such as that aren't trivia. Sorry. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 14:38, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:::: I heartily disagree. If not a trivia point, at least a bug. &ndash; [[User:Smashman|<font color=#507D2A>Smashman</font>]]<sub>&nbsp;([[User_talk:Smashman|talk]])</sub> 14:40, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
::::: Contact Valve and ask if it's a bug, then. I don't want to see any speculation on this article, though. It's about as trivia worthy as the Frying Pan making a Frying Pan sound when it hits stuff, or the Katana having a unique drawsound that ''others can hear as well''. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 14:42, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:::::: Ah, I thought the Original was the only weapons to have an audible draw sound to everyone. In that case yes, perhaps it isn't notable if the Zatoichi is the same. --<span style="color:purple">'''''[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]]'''''</span> 17:06, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Name of item/article ==
 
 
 
The name of the item is "The Original", so should this article be called "The Original", instead of "Original"? [[User:Vigilante|Vigilante]] 18:30, 5 September 2011 (PDT)
 
: We don't put the "the" in front of items when naming the page. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 18:32, 5 September 2011 (PDT)
 
::...despite that the item itself includes "The", where other items do not? ==[[User:FaxCelestis|Fax Celestis]] <sub>[[User_talk:FaxCelestis|talk]]</sub><small>[[Special:Contributions/FaxCelestis|contrib]]</small><sup>[http://wiki.faxcelestis.net/ home]</sup> 21:37, 5 September 2011 (PDT)

Weapon Demonstration Video Replacement

So due to this being out of date, it's even noted so should we change the video to an up-to-date one or leave it there? Zarioo12 (talk) 16:47, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

There is no up-to-date video, once there is it will replace the current one.
GrampaSwood (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I could redo the video. Should I?
