Well, I believe we're all aware the winners of the Polycount contest are being announced in 2 days. Let's have some discussion, shall we? I'll pose some starter questions:
[LIST]
[*]What are you looking forward to for the upcoming Polycount Update?
[*]How do you think Valve will distribute the Polycount stuff? Will it be as one giant update? Small packaged releases?
[*]Do you think the community items will have new stats?
[*]What are you expectations for the contest? What are you concerns?
[/LIST]
In 2 days, I'll update this thread with the winners.

Finally good Scout weapons?
I entered the contest, though I know my pack isn't the best, I think I have some good items in there.
In some ways I hope valve chop up the packs, so we're left with the best of the best, and that eventually much of the content gets released in later updates.
I expect the new weapons to have new stats, but not new functions. ie no rocket propelled chainsaws or spy detectors (as per the rules)
Good luck to all contestants, I look forward to the release!
I hope they will be released like proper updates with pages, hints, jokes and stuff.

It is a site, they had a competition and now valve is adding some of the things they made into the game.

cool, that's nice of valve
Proper kill icons.
The best part is now the Engineer has a chance to actually get building unlocks.
Cool a mobile car for the engi.
I hope it gets added :dance:

From the entries in that category I've seen, I can say I hope he doesn't.

Damn, that's one sexy Bonk replacement for the Scout, I mean, look at those textures! :dance: I hope this wins.

I hope the Lucycharm gets in. I don't care for the name or the backstory, but the actual sentry was pulled off beautifully.

That reminds me of the guy who [B]coded[/B] all of his models. I think he did an olympic theme. They looked way too low-poly, but the work he did to get them made was pretty awesome.

Yeah but the dude that made it didn't make it in a conventional modeling program, he fucking [B]CODED THE MODEL[/B]. I'm not joking.
-snip- ninja'd
I hope they add something that adds a new gameplay mechanic to a character. I don't want to see another shotgun for Engineer or a slightly changed flame thrower.

"Not happenin'" - EU Soldier, BF2142.

That's him.
I agree that it's pretty impressive, but still, the result is quite hilarious. :v:

I mean, he fucking used Paint for the textures.

The name makes me want to hit something.

Most of the entrants already did update pages so Valve might as well use them.
[QUOTE=Zanpa;23255958]Finally good Scout weapons?[/QUOTE]
They all look horrible.
[QUOTE=Djokson;23256335]Most of the entrants already did update pages so Valve might as well use them.[/QUOTE]
Oh I'm not saying there wont be pages. Because there probably will, but I doubt there's going to be the usual jokes, hints, etc.
Hoping that revolver gets through
Are they releasing winners for each class, like 9 packs as winners, or just the one thats the best?
I just want near 80% of the contestant stuff to win.it`s all so awesome! :D

Am I the only one who thinks the Lucy Charm looks terrible?
[QUOTE=Daimao;23256485]Am I the only one who thinks the Lucy Charm looks terrible?[/QUOTE]
Nope.
I just want the tankbuster set, that's all I care about.
Although I will say that a lot of these entries look fantastic.
I've full confidence in the Scout entries.
