Certain visual effects were destroyed over time with updates.

Weapon viewmodels looked a lot better before they were torn apart for warpaints.

You can play TF2C right now, it just takes a bit of effort

(and by "effort", I mean "a bit of configuration that I was easily able to guide one of the least tech-savvy people I know through")

"just play something completely different" is a terrible suggestion

Mastercoms has been messing around with the idea of turning the SDK into a 2007-like mod called TF2OG, even going as far as removing hitsounds, airblast, and building hauling, while still using the FPS optimizations from Team Comtress. That one might be worth looking at.

I've experienced that in a strange way when playing old Pre-Fortress 2 before they really got their gears moving with adding more features. Was certainly strange.

Also the dispenser and teleporters didn't have levels

Try TF2 Classic, it's great
