Info

First revealed at GC '06, this trailer showcased the various abilities of Team Fortress 2's player classes. The trailer, since it is showing a early rendition of the game, contains several differences from the final product:

• The Scout is wielding a Nailgun, which was replaced by the Scattergun in the finished game.
• The Soldier's Rocket Launcher has a rocket sticking out of the end when loaded.
• The Demoman is shown throwing an MIRV, a would be stay-over from Team Fortress Classic, which was removed from the game following beta and replaced with Sticky bombs.
• The Demoman's Grenade Launcher could hold up to 6 grenades.
• The Demoman's ability to remotely detonate his Grenades hadn't yet been moved to his Sticky bombs.
• The Grenades have a longer, thinner, and slightly different design, and don't flash.
• The Heavy's Minigun firing animation includes a more cartoonish muzzle flash coming out of the barrel.
• The Heavy's movement speed is much slower in the finished game.
• The bullets being fired out of the Minigun are longer and have a wider spread than those in the finished game.
• The Level 1 Sentry Gun has a different firing sound, 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 zoomed in has a different design.
• The Spy's Knife has a much longer and has a more intricate switching animation.
• The emblems on the class' arms are solid circles instead of class emblems.
• Weapons were less jerky when being wielded by classes. For example, the Nailgun held by the running Scout was almost stationary when it was viewed.
• The 2Fort bridge is uncovered.
• The spawns have a separate exit and entrance like in Team Fortress Classic.
• The picture showing all the classes at the end is an old version featuring the older designs and weapons.
• The explosion graphics are different in the finished game.
• Far less blood when players are gibbed.
• The bone-cracking sound for fall damage is different in the finished game.
• The FOV is farther out than ingame.
• Some of the view models are different.

Notes

• The Pyro and the Medic are both seen in the trailer, but neither are mentioned.
• Footstep sounds were recycled from Half-Life 2.
• All characters have the same voice and stock dying noises including the infamous Wilhelm scream.
• Characters have a few clarity issues. For example, the Heavy's ear and Demoman's eye patch are a bit blurred.
• The classes' health were set very low (especially Soldier and Pyro) so that the other classes could kill them easily.
