Team Fortress Classic: Source

"'Anyone remember Half-Life: Source? Valve's port of Half-Life to the Source engine? It wasn't anything special - just a direct copy and paste with some improved graphics, but a LOT of bugs and glitches despite running on a technically superior engine. It was disappointing to fans who actually wanted a proper remake, which we didn't get until the spectacular Black Mesa over a decade later. A direct contrast to Counter-Strike: Source - the game that did kind of the same thing for the original Counter-Strike, but actually gave some improvements to the gameplay, weapons and physics. I also remember reading that some people were trying to make a similar thing for Team Fortress Classic, but it's apparently been cancelled due to behind-the-scenes drama and other things. Then I came up with another idea - doing something similar, but instead of a direct port, a complete overhaul to the original game, with new ideas, new gameplay mechanics, and new styles of tackling a problem. And so Team Fortress Classic: Source was reborn!'"Team Fortress Classic: Source is a Source mod concept by Red-Verse-Writer, a remake of Team Fortress Classic based on a cancelled mod of a similar name.

Gameplay
Team Fortress Classic: Source revolves around two teams, Red and Blue (although sometimes there is additional Green and Yellow teams), who can choose between nine (although sometimes ten) different classes. Each character class has a different set of weapons, abilities, strengths and weaknesses that count another class's in a rock-paper-scissors style of gameplay - in order to accomplish objectives efficiently, a balance of these classes is required due to how these strengths and weaknesses interact with each other in a team-based environment. Each class has four weapons - a melee weapon, a tertiary sidearm weapon, a primary weapon and a secondary weapon. The game also supports several different gameplay modes, including new game modes such as Domination, which features teams attempting to take control of all the specialised control points on a map while protecting their own control points from the enemy; Special Delivery, where one is attempting to push a cart along a track to the enemy's base while the other team attempts to stop them; and Murderball, a soccer-style game where each team is attempting to grab a single ball and deliver it to the enemy team's goal. The older game modes also return from the original game - Capture the Flag, where both teams attempt to steal the enemy's flag whilst keeping their own safe; Control Points, where each team must bring a flag to each control point to capture it; and Attack/Defend, where each team takes turns to either capture control points or defend against the enemy team, are unchanged, whilst Escort now features both teams being given a randomly selected Civillian, who they must safely escort to a given point while also trying to assassinate the enemy team's Civillian before they can reach the same point.

Compared to the original game, Team Fortress Classic: Source provides a complete overhaul to the gameplay and its mechanics. Each class is now capable of constructing their own unique building, with the Engineer class still being vital for repairing and upgrading these buildings. Engineers can regenerate their armour, see friendly buildings and ammo sources through walls, and create new sources of any type of ammo. They can also construct multiple new types of buildings, with their list now including security cameras for monitoring rooms, motion sensors for detecting enemy Spies, field generators to protect a area from enemies, amplifiers to improve a teammate's abilities for a brief period of time, repair nodes to automatically heal nearby buildings when the Engineer is not available, and Multi-Guns, which are initially inert turrets but can be transformed into a unique turret by having a different teammate run through it (for example, a Sniper can upgrade it into a Flak Cannon, which fires slowly but does immense damage on shot), as well as the returning Sentry Gun, Dispenser and Teleporter. Medics can build up Supercharges by healing allies, and can expend this charge to provide themselves and any nearby teammates with invulnerability for a short period of time. They can heal allies and infect enemies from a distance by throwing gas balls, and can build Buff Stations to provide players with portable charges that can be activated to provide a temporary buff. Scouts can perform parkour-style moves by building up momentum in order to perform feats such as vaulting over surfaces or enemies, sliding along the ground, and running along walls. They can also double-jump and build Speed Pads which can be reconfigured to either provide a teammate with a speed buff by running over it or function like a catapult and propel them a great distance. Pyros can fly around on jetpacks, throw cans of gasoline to use as explosives, and build Snark Nests to spawn the Snarks from Half-Life, which can serve as a distraction and harass the enemy team. Spies can eavesdrop on the enemy team's private conversation, sabotage a enemy building to make it function like a friendly building for a period of time, and use a motion-based cloak to become invisible for periods of time. They can also see enemies through walls via thermal vision and can build Mounted Sentry Guns which can be hidden on walls or ceilings to surprise attack enemies. Soldiers can perform Bullrushes to knock down and damage enemies whilst travelling great distances, and gather energy from dealing and taking damage to charge a Battlecry that temporarily increases the speed and damage of the user and all nearby teammates who hear the Battlecry. They can also deploy parachutes in mid-air to float and glide, and can build Bunkers for teammates to hide within. Snipers can build Anti-Rocket Shields to protect themselves and teammates from enemy explosives, and can partially cloak themselves when moving slowly and not attacking. They can also see enemies they hit but do not kill through walls, use a limited but self-regenerating supply of flares to light up dark areas or set enemies on fire, and call in airstrikes to devastate outdoor areas. Demomen can build Stationary Mortars that can be controlled using laser pointers, see placed explosives through walls, and remotely detonate their thrown grenades. They can also perform a shockwave stomp when landing from a great height and are immune to falling damage. Heavies can perform stomps that do no damage but momentarily stop a enemy from moving, use a Portable Medkit to heal their injuries or the injuries of a teammate, and gain a temporary damage buff on a killstreak. They also now take less damage from attacks and can build Security Pods to protect teammates, which can piloted and flown around in. Finally, if available, Civilians naturally provide all nearby bodyguards with a defensive buff and can grant a teammate a temporary buff to their health, speed, damage and damage resistance.

Due to the usage of the Source engine and improved computer software, the game features improved physics and graphics compared to the original Team Fortress Classic. Players can now sprint, which uses up a limited but self-regenerating Stamina meter, and the level of a player's armour can be upgraded from light to medium to heavy by an Engineer reinforcing the armour. Grenades can bounce off of walls when thrown, Animations mesh together (for example, rather than suddenly slumping to the ground instantly when killed, a player killed in mid-air will go limp in the air before slumping to the ground when they land) and play more fluidly. Each class has their own unique hand models in first-person, and the third-person models match the first-person models. Character models are much more high-poly and flexible, each class has their own unique voices and lines, and their mouths move when the player talks using a microphone. Maps are also much larger, and many feature interactable objects, such as ziplines and mounted machine guns. Health, armour and weapon damage is also increased, and ammunition now appears in specialized boxes, with backpacks filled with ammo only be spawned by either a player dying and dropping their ammunition or when a player is manually throwing spare or unneeded ammunition to a teammate.

The Scout is the fastest class in the game, and the most significantly changed from in the original game. As opposed to being exclusively focused on flag running like in Team Fortress Classic, he is more similar to his Team Fortress 2 counterpart, being a more combat-oriented character with a focus upon performing high speed, close range hit-and-run attacks. He is now capable of performing parkour feats when moving quickly, building up speed when moving to be able to run along walls, slide along the ground, and vault over enemies and obstacles. He can also double jump and wall jump even when not moving fast, further increasing his options, and can also use a radar scan to detect nearby enemies or friendlies. While his health and armour are both increased, he is still the most vulnerable of the main nine classes, unable to sustain much damage and needing to evade combat when possible. He also has very limited options outside of close range, requiring him to actively take risks and maintain momentum when in combat.

The Sniper is the master of long-range combat, a crack-shot with a focus upon destroying enemies from long-range. Able to blend into environments by staying still before taking a shot, he can instantly eliminate a enemy with a highly powerful headshot, being able trace enemies he hits but does not kill through walls. He can also provide support roles to his team by being able to use a limited but self-regenerating supply of flares to light up areas and alert them to incoming enemy attacks by observing their routes from afar, but his most powerful technique is to set spots for and then call in devastating airstrikes to utterly obliterate a outdoor area. While he has a large advantage over all enemies, his options at short-range are limited, requiring him to evade close-range encounters. He is also only slightly more durable than the Scout, further limiting his survival and capabilities in a firefight and requiring him to directly avoid confrontation unless absolutely necessary.
