== Trivia ==
* The name of the update is a reference to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_taxes_(idiom) famous quote] from Benjamin Franklin: "''Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except '''death and taxes'''''"
* The Civilian class and the VIP gamemode were originally planned for ''Team Fortress 2'' but were cut.
* A lot of the weapons were cut from earlier versions of Tf2 or cut entirely. Some can even be seen in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwwcWTTw4PU Orange Box 2006 Playstation trailer.]
