Changes

General

• The general texture and lighting of the character models is of significantly lower quality.
• The emblems on the classes' arms are solid circles, instead of class emblems.
• 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. Also the classes had flat ears instead of 3D.

Scout

• Appears to have more upper-body build than the current model does.
• Is shown wielding the Nail Gun which was later replaced with the Scattergun. The Nail Gun was the primary weapon used by the Scout in Team Fortress Classic.

• His earpiece has changed to yellow.
• The swing speed of his Bat is slightly faster.

Soldier

• His coat is a dark blue team-color.
• His pants are less saturated.
• His helmet is black.
• His class emblem is blank yellow.
• The Rocket Launcher has different textures and is visually a single-shot frontloaded RPG much like it is in Team Fortress Classic. The RPG was removed in the final version.

Pyro

• The viewmodel gloves are fully black and lack yellow tips.
• The tank on his back is fully yellow instead of gray with a yellow top.
• The Flamethrower is not team-colored.
