Hey You! Yeah you — Action fan! Buckle up and hunker down as Valve launches an A-tomic jet fueled knuckle sandwich right into the doughy bread baskets of the world's battle game blowhards! Those other feeble fight games (and the old maids that play'em and the momma's boys that make'em!) better head for the fainting couch, because this one's the gut-grabbinest, gut-rippenest, strangle-you-with-your-own-grabbed-gutsiest battle thriller ever seared onto your monitor — with pixels that are 5% human blood! — Valve

First revealed on July 19, 2006 at the EA Summer Showcase event, Trailer 1 showcases the player classes of Team Fortress 2. The video, as it shows an early rendition of the game, contains several differences from the final product.

Video

Changes

Class

• The general design of all of the classes is somewhat different.

Scout

• Appears to have more upper-body build than the current model does.
• Is shown wielding the Submachine Gun which was later replaced with the Nailgun and then the Scattergun. The Submachine Gun was given to the Sniper as a Stock secondary weapon.
• Has two team-colored stripes near the tops of his socks. And his shoes do not have the white stripes.
• His earpiece is team-colored instead of yellow.

Soldier

• His coat is a pale grayish team-color, with a bright team-color armbands around his class emblems. And the grenades are fully black.
• His Rocket Launcher is visually a single-shot frontloaded RPG much like it is in Team Fortress Classic. The RPG was removed in the final version.
• Does not scream before beating his helmet with the Shovel as he does during his finalized taunt.
• The Shovel also looks more beat up and old.

Pyro

• Gloves are fully black
• Tank on his back is fully yellow instead of being yellow on the top with a grey body.
• The Fire from the Flame Thrower has slightly different textures, with a thicker body of flame.

Engineer

• His shirt, much like Soldier's coat, is a pale grayish team-color, with bright Team-colored armbands around his class emblems.
• His glove and knee caps are team-colored.
• His pistol pack is black instead of light brown.

Heavy

• Has no gloves nor class emblems.
• His ammo belt is slightly different in color and shape.
• His vest is light brown instead of deep grey and has more detail.
• His Minigun has a sharper, more cartoony muzzle flash when being fired.

Demoman

• Is shown wielding and throwing the Dynamite Pack, or MIRV Grenade, a would be stay-over from Team Fortress Classic that was later replaced with Stickybombs.

Medic

• Is shown wielding a giant syringe which was later replaced by the Medi Gun.
• Glasses are slightly larger and thicker.
• Is shown wearing a stethoscope which was later removed, although it can be seen in his cubby in the spawn room lockers, and a similar community-made stethoscope "Surgeon's Stethoscope" was later added to the game as a cosmetic item.
• Class emblems are slightly different, with armbands.

Sniper

• His hat and vest are slightly different shades.
• His glasses have more orange tinted lenses.
• Lacks class emblems.
• The tips of the bullets in his pocket are team-colored instead of yellow.

Spy

• His suit is a greyish red colour, with a team-colored pocket protector, and a team-colored striped tie as well as having class emblems with team-colored armbands.
• Is shown wielding the Tranquilizer Gun.

2Fort

• The Train outside of BLU's base uses a different model and is not boarded up.

• There are a few props missing outside of RED base.

• The bridge between the RED and BLU bases has no roof.

• At 0:29 there is a pickup truck like the one seen in-game now but with a red roof.

• The two entrances to the RED base have stairs instead of ramps.

General changes

• The muzzle flashes are opaque and hard-edged.

• There is a skull insignia behind the Pyro that has not reappeared anywhere in the final game. This was the RED logo in Team Fortress Classic
