Trivia / Team Fortress 2 Classic

• Development Gag: Many of the alternate weapons are based on cut content from Team Fortress 2.
  • The Scout's Nail Gun, Demoman's Dynamite Pack and Spy's Tranquilizer Gun are all from the Beta, famously showcased in the pre-release trailers. The Soldier's RPG has a different function but is visually reminiscent of their Rocket Launcher from those same pre-release trailers. Finally, the Uberspritze (the Ubersaw substitute) is a reference to Trailer 1, in which the Medic was introduced posing with a syringe.
  • The Sniper's Fishwhacker is based on the Club, a cut weapon intended to be the Sniper's default melee weapon, replaced in final by the Kukri.
  • The Civilian, as well as VIP mode as a whole, is a well-known piece of scrapped content from Team Fortress 2.
• The Other Darrin: The Engineer's new voice lines related to the Jump Pad are performed by Gianni Matragrano.
• Screwed by the Lawyers: The mod was removed from download in November 2021 on request from Valve Software, who objected to the fact that the mod is made on a reverse-engineered version of Team Fortress 2's leaked source code, which is against their terms of service. Nonetheless, Valve were interested in allowing the team to continue their work and officially release it on Steam, which the team gladly accepted... before Valve went completely radio silent on further discussions with how to proceed. In June 2022, the mod's download links were restored on the basis that the team had given Valve a chance to object, and they never did.
