==General==

* There are grenades usable for every class. There are two: a [[Grenade:Frag|frag grenade]] for every class (except the Scout) and a “special” one that has a unique trait ([[Grenade:Nail|like shooting nails]] or [[Grenade:EMP|blowing up an enemy’s ammunition]].).

* Respawn is instantaneous.

* Realistic art style compared to TF2’s cartoony style.

* Each class has armor, and the amount of it and the percent of damage absorbed depends on the class. See the [[Reference:Class|Class reference]] for details.

* No taunt button.

* If a player dies, a backpack is left behind that contains all the ammo he had when he died.

* Resupply rooms consist of backpacks containing supplies, instead of supply lockers. In addition, these backpacks must respawn. What’s in the backpacks is determined by the map maker.

* Ammo boxes are replaced with backpacks.

* You can discard unused ammo for others to use.

* There are four teams; Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. However, most maps use only Red and Blue.

* Much less emphasis on Capture Point maps than in TF2.

==Weapons==

* There are two types of shotguns: [[Weapon:Single_Shotgun|Single]] and [[Weapon:Super_Shotgun|Super]].

* The [[Weapon:Grenade_Launcher|Grenade]] and [[Weapon:Pipe Launcher|Pipe Launcher]] share a magazine.

* The [[Weapon:Assault_Cannon|Minigun]] can overheat if fired for too long.

* Grenades fired from the Pipe Launcher do not stick onto walls.

* Only the Medic, Spy and Engineer have their own melee weapons. Everybody else has a [[Weapon:Crowbar|Crowbar]].

==Classes==

'''[[Class:Scout|Scout]]'''

* The FF Scout is only really useful for capping, while the TF2 Scout can be used as a speedy attacker that can take out slow classes with ease.

* A Scout can remove a Spy’s disguise or disable a [[Weapon:Detpack|Detpack]] if he touches them.

* The Scout can [[Concjumping|concjump]].

* The Scout has a special grenade, called the [[Grenade:Caltrop|Caltrop]], that can slow down an enemy if he touches it.

'''[[Class:Sniper|Sniper]]'''

* The [[Weapon:Sniper_Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] must be charged up by holding down the fire button.

* He has an [[Weapon:Auto_Rifle|automatic rifle]] that uses the same ammunition as the Sniper Rifle.

'''[[Class:Soldier|Soldier]]'''

* Reloading the [[Weapon:RPG|RPG]] is slightly slower.

'''[[Class:Demoman|Demoman]]'''

* Has a special weapon called a [[Weapon:Detpack|Detpack]] that can be set to explode after a certain amount of time and is the most powerful weapon in the game.

'''[[Class:Medic|Medic]]'''

* To heal, use the Medic's healing weapon, the [[Weapon:Medikit|Medikit]]. It must be used on an ally at point-blank range. However, it will heal the target to 100% of his health instantly.

* If you use the Medikit on a person with 100% of his health, it will add 5 points of health for each use, up to a maximum of 150% of his default maximum health.

* The Medikit can [[:Category:Status_Effects#Infected|infect enemies with a virus]] if it is used on one.

* The Medic can [[Concjumping|concjump]].

* Can be very effective on offense, thanks to [[Concjumping|concjumping]], his speed and the Super Shotgun.

* The Medic cannot make anyone invincible.

'''[[Class:HWGuy|HWGuy]]'''

* His Minigun is not named Sasha.

'''[[Class:Pyro|Pyro]]'''

* Has a rocket launcher called the [[IC|Incendiary Cannon]] that can light enemies on fire. However, the rocket begins to fall to the ground after launch, traveling in an arc.

* There are multiple stages of an enemy being on fire. See the [[:Category:Status_Effects#On_Fire|On Fire]] article for more details.

'''[[Class:Spy|Spy]]'''

* Has a [[Weapon:Tranquilizer Gun|tranquilizer gun]] instead of a revolver.

* The backstab animation isn’t nearly as drawn-out as the one in TF2.

* If a Spy makes a successful backstab, [[Class_Ability:ID_Theft|his disguise changes to the person he just killed]].

* The Spy [[Class_Ability:Stealth|makes no noise when walking]].

* The weapon the Spy has equipped is reflected on his disguise (to an extent). Ex.: If a spy is disguised as an Engineer and equipped with the Knife, to others, he will be holding the Wrench.

* If the Spy is disguised, he will look like his disguise, including to his teammates.

* If the Spy falls down, he will make no noise and takes 50% damage from the fall.

* Sabotaging a dispenser/sentry will not make it’s health lower.

* The Spy’s special abilities are done via a menu accessed by hitting the Fire 2 (default: Mouse 2) key.

* If a Spy runs into another Spy, both of their disguises will disappear.

* Cloaking will not run out once activated, but has a cooldown time before cloaking again.

* Enemy Sentry Guns will fire at a cloaked spy regardless of disguise.

'''[[Class:Engineer|Engineer]]'''

* Metal is collected from backpacks.

* An Engineer can repair a teammate’s armor by hitting the ally with the wrench.

* There is neither HUD nor verbal (“SPY SAPPING MY SENTRY/DISPENSER!”) indication that a Spy has tampered with your buildables.

* You cannot make teleporters.

* It takes 130 Metal to upgrade a sentry instead of 200.

* When an engineer discards ammo, he will throw out ammo of every type, even if he doesn’t currently have a certain type.

* The Pistol is replaced with the [[Weapon:Railgun|Railgun]].

* The Sentry Gun uses shells from the Engineer as ammo. Also the sentry can be aimed in any direction once built by hitting Fire 2 (default: Mouse 2).

* The Engineer builds things like in TF2, but to destroy or move around something built you must access a menu via hitting Fire 2 (default: Mouse 2).

* The dispenser gives armor and ammo, but not health.

'''[[Class:Civilian|Civilian]]'''

* Usable.

* Nearly defenseless. Must rely on others to kill enemies. A future update will include the [[Weapon:Tommy_Gun|Tommy Gun]], a weapon that the Civilian can use to fight back to an extent.

* No grenades.
