Changes

Class

• The Scout is wielding the Nailgun, from Team Fortress Classic, which was replaced by the Scattergun in the finished game.
• The Scout's bat swinging speed is faster in the finished game.
• The Soldier's Rocket Launcher has a rocket sticking out of the end when loaded. The Soldier bots are also scripted, both to fire and to die on cue.
• The Pyro's compression backpack is entirely yellow, while in the actual game it's grey with a yellow top.
• The Demoman is shown throwing a MIRV instead of a package of dynamite. This would be a stay-over from Team Fortress Classic. This was removed from the game following the beta and replaced with stickybombs.
• The Demoman's ability to remotely detonate his grenades hadn't yet been moved to his stickybombs.
• The Demoman's grenades from the Grenade Launcher didn't flash.
• The Heavy's Minigun firing animation includes an even more cartoonish muzzle flash coming out of the barrel, while the bullet animation is thinner with less of a spread effect. He doesn't actually hit the Soldier on the far left.
• The Heavy's movement speed is much slower in the finished game.
• The Engineer's Shotgun has a slower, more "choppy" firing animation, and shells can be seen ejecting from the left side of the gun instead of the right. The Shotgun also fires more than six shells.
• The Engineer's viewmodel Wrench animation is different.
• The Level 1 Sentry Gun has slightly different textures, different firing and building sounds, builds at a slower speed, and has a higher rate of fire. It also has a muzzle flash, unlike the simple recoil the gun has now.
• The charge symbol seen when the Sniper Rifle is scoped has a different design.
• The Spy's Knife has a much longer and more intricate switching animation.
• The Spy has a pocket on the left side of his suit which is not present now.
• When the Spy cloaks, he doesn't have his team color transition.
• The Intelligence isn't spinning around as it does in the final game.
• The emblems on the classes' arms are solid circles instead of class emblems.
• The Sniper Rifle uses the Schmidt Scout hit sound from Counter-Strike Source.

2Fort

• The bridge in the center of the map is uncovered, which is now covered.
• The spawns have separate exits and entrances, similar to Team Fortress Classic.
• The Entrances to the BLU and RED base have stairs, these were later replaced by ramps.

General changes

• The explosion graphics are different in the finished game.
• Source 2006-styled blood is used when players are gibbed.
• The bone-cracking sounds for falling uses sounds from Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2 (when shot).
• The footstep sounds were recycled from Half-Life 2.
• All characters have the same voice and stock dying noises including the infamous Wilhelm scream. The generic voice was going to be used for the Civilian.
