* FragileSpeedster: The Scout. Compared to his [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 bat-swingin' Bostonian]] [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 brother]], his nailgun is super-accurate, but weak, and the projectiles take time to hit their target (the target can even ''{{Dodge The Bullet}}s''), and his single barrel shotgun makes the scattergun look like a [[UnrealTournament Redeemer]]. Instead, he's much faster (even more so than aforementioned brother) and can use concussion grenades to hop like a flea all over the place. Oh, and leave caltrops to slow down the movement of pursuing enemies.

* AbandonedLaboratory: Due to it being a mod of ''HalfLife'' , most maps like destroy_1 and Shutdown look as inhabited as Black Mesa.
* AscendedGlitch: Players love to Bunnyhop, strafe jump, and ''RocketJump'' , all glitches in the original Team Fortress and it's parent game ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}''

* CombatMedic: Far more so than his ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' incarnation. The Medic, while not able to heal from a distance, had a shotgun, a {{BFG}} Nailgun far superior to its normal counterpart, mobility comparable to that of the Scout's (including the ability to [[RocketJump conc-jump]]), ''and worst of all,'' the ability to hit enemies with an infection attack. It's like being on fire, except there's higher DPS, it spreads to your teammates, and it can never, ''ever'' be put out, except by an allied Medic. (Or death.) There was even a popular binded message for this: "Infected? Go to Resupply and tell your friends!".

* FragileSpeedster: The Scout. Compared to his [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 bat-swingin' Bronx]][[hottip:*: He's from Boston, ''thank you very much'']] [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 brother]], his nailgun is super-accurate, but weak, and the projectiles take time to hit their target (the target can even ''{{Dodge The Bullet}}s''). Instead, he's much faster and can use concussion grenades to hop like a flea all over the place. Oh, and leave caltrops to slow down the movement of pursuing enemies.

* {{Homage}}: The very popular level "Rock2" was heavily based on the movie ''TheRock''. The bases were prisons, and capturing the "flag" involved taking the gas to a dispersal room and setting it off (then frantically running to a safe room before poison gas killed everyone on the map.

* RangedemergencyWeapon: The Engineer's railgun. Terrible damage output and rate of fire, but it has a unique ammo supply.

* KillItWithFire: The Pyro, who has a bit more fire to play with compared to his Team Fortress 2 counterpart. The flamethrower behaves differently than ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' flamethrowers, as the fire blast doesn't "turn" as fast, and is weaker than its notoriously weak cousin. The Napalm Cannon, on the other hand, is a more damaging, [=AoE=]-based Flare Gun/Rocket Launcher combo.

''Team Fortress Classic'' is a 1999 multiplayer computer game by ValveSoftware. It's an official port of the original ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'' mod, released to ease the wait between it and ''TeamFortress2'', its soon-to-be-released sequel (which, considering [[Memes/ValveSoftware Valve Time]], [[ScheduleSlip naturally was released eight years later]]), and is often packaged with ''HalfLife''.

Unlike its [[TeamFortress2 cartoonier sequel]], ''Team Fortress Classic'' had no backstory at all. Two teams, Red and Blue, either try to steal each others' flags, assassinate a scared-looking fellow, or impede their progress through a desert or Italian town. No corporation civil wars, no MultinationalTeam [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits of misfits]] ... just nails and grenades.

The Medic, while not able to heal from a distance, had a shotgun, a {{BFG}} Nailgun far superior to its normal counterpart, mobility comparable to that of the Scout's (including the ability to [[RocketJump conc-jump]]), ''and worst of all,'' the ability to hit enemies with an infection attack.
