Polycount Contest Discussion

[Heathen]

For those of you who don't know, the Polycount Contest is around, and there are some pretty great things being made. The latest Emporium is empty because of this contest. Post things you are excited about.

A pretty complete list (if not completely complete) is located here (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73654).

I like the idea of this quick deploy sentry:

And thats all I read so far. Many other greats in there too. If that doesn't entice you enough to go look if you haven't already, you probably never heard of tf2.

Really need a self medicated Medic theme.

[Needles]

I saw this on the tf2 site, I really hope the scout gets some new weapons. All the other classes have something that is somewhat decent but the only thing the scout has is the very situationally useful bonk drink.

[Syuusuke]

What else can a scout use?

Sandman is pretty useful. It's the best "anti-heavy" weapon you can ask for.

look at this bad player. Strafe, jump, and pistol is the best way to kill a heavy.

[Inferno]

Any competent heavy will own a scout at mid and short range. The only way you can get them at point blank is either Sand Man + 3 scatter gun shots or 3 scatter gun shots from directly behind while jumping around them in a a circle.

pretty much that

[Inferno]

If a heavy doesn't kill you within 1.5 seconds of seeing you at mid-pistol range there is something wrong.

[CN3089]

Bad heavies, maybe


After the hilariously ill thought out heavy 'fix' the sandman is one of the most reliable ways to fuck one over, and then only if they're isolated from other heavies

Awesome, happy birthday me! :woop:

Seriously though, did they do this shit to the propaganda contest? It's a bit unfair on the contestants and fucking unprofessional, even for Valve.

Are you new here? (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time)

[Needles]

I hope the tank buster and the scout primary from the suburban scout make it in, and the good old days demo pack. Anything to replace the fan, and targe skullcutter.

[Sel]

Tank buster is fucking terrible, how did that win :S


Unluckily for them, we're also going to attach gameplay attributes (probably of a game destroying nature) to these items, sullying their perfect work with our clumsy attempts at game design

Why I didn't enter ^^

[Aerowyn]

Why I didn't enter ^^

I bet you a dollar the pyro items are going to be ridiculously underpowered. Valve's solution for making the pyro less "nooby" is to make the pyro completely suck as a class.

[Inferno]

Why did they pick those scout items >_> there retarded looking. Hell they don't even fit the personality of the scout.

I am saddened by this.

+ Why didn't they pick any new medic items. There were plenty of awesome medic items.

:smith:

edit-

Yeah looking at all the awesome items that where there I am guessing that Gaben was drunk when he picked those.

[ICEE]

I like how that chamfered box won a soldier slot. Interested in the new sniper rifle though.

They better do something cool with the flamethrower after the backburner's horrible dissapointment.

[Yoko]

Scout already has 2 useless drinks, they better not fuck up the milk

Additionally, the Suburban Scout pack looked way more appealing, I would loved to have used the tirebyte scattergun :[

[CN3089]

Well, they've been improving the class for a long time now, she's better now than ever before vOv

sorry but the crit-a-cola is really awesome if you are good with the Scattergun


+ Why didn't they pick any new medic items. There were plenty of awesome medic items.


Why do you think the top 5 winners are the only ones we'd release?

Have faith, good sirs. Have faith!

[Inferno]

This.

And the bonk energy drink is the best way to get around sentrys.

[ICEE]

Even with the pistol it can be really effective.

Enjoy everybody and their grandma's dog chasing after you if/when you get past the sentry, you'd be surprised what lengths people will go through to kill one d*ng scout

[Inferno]

Hardly, and anyways as soon as I'm passed the sentry I just turn around and scatter gun every little fuck who was ballsy enough to chase me.

[ODX]

No, take the FAN and then once it wears off, rush towards them and just own the shit out of them with it.

Because it's so overpowered and hilarious.

[Inferno]

FAN sucks. I can just 4shot you with the scatter gun.

[ICEE]

Fan is only good for killing one enemy. Scattergun can take out 3 people of any class (aside from giant man) in one clip if you know what your doing

[Sel]

+ Why didn't they pick any new medic items. There were plenty of awesome medic items.


I'd really rather the medic didn't get anything. No opportunities for them to butcher the one class I care about.

[ICEE]

they can easily butcher a class without adding things to it. Like how the direct hit butchered everything.

[Inferno]

Yeah because when they add things they ruin TF2 forever.

If you want to play with stock items there are plenty of servers that already do that.

It's so funny because it's true.

[SnaFuBAR]

Wow, who's salad did he toss to get the tank buster as a winner?
Jesus christ almighty why is so much of this stuff atrocious?
A chamfered box with a hole, a handle and straps...i... is there something i am missing here???

[ICEE]

I hope that just because they accepted a pack as winner doesnt mean they add ALL the items to the game. I really dont want to see the fish added as a melee weapon.

[Inferno]

I think the all of the scout items look like shit. The milk might be okay but does the scout REALLY need any more drinkable items?

Besides, the Buff Banner replacement and the hat are both rad as h*ck

So he copied a boring gun, neato.

Also the hat, is a grenadier cap, which are german troops, last I checked the soldier was american! :S

[CN3089]

all guns must have 30000000 polygons and spinning rims to get into TF2

[SnaFuBAR]

I thought it looked fine. Very M202-ish.

m202 flash has much more to it than a box. thanks for playing though!

[Jelly]

team war fortress simulator 2010

[Inferno]

They need to give the soldier a M16a4 replacement. That would make it more realistic.

i'm sorry CN but i want my cartoon Hat simulator TO BE REALISTIX

[n00b1n8R]

IT'S NOT CARTOON, IT'S STYLIZED!!1

But yeah, the only thing out of all that that seems remotely cool is the fez :cool:

[UnevenElefant5]

Excited for the new Pyro stuff, I hope they don't screw up the new Flamethrower too much. I don't really like the hat that much, but the hammer looks nice. Maybe since it's a car battery it can leak battery acid on them for like a continuous damage effect or something.

[English Mobster]

I never use the Sniper (I can't aim worth shit, with the exception of the Direct Hit), so anything to make him useful is a good thing.
