Revision as of 11:34, 12 January 2011
The Polycount Pack was a contest by Valve and the modeling community, Polycount, to develop new community item packs to be introduced into Team Fortress 2. These items would be brand-new models with unique stats once added to the game, but had to be designed to replace items that already existed. The contest winners were announced on July 15, 2010, and the items were added in the Mann-Conomy Update.
In addition to the five winning packs, Valve confirmed that several other packs[1] were of high enough quality to be in-game, and may be added in later updates. According to PC gamer, a 6th pack was supposed to be included, along with a new gamemode as a bonus. They were cut from the update due to time constraints, and were later added in the Australian Christmas update, along with two other packs. It was also hinted in a blog post that Valve were working on a new training map for a class, similar to the Soldier's training map released with the Mac update, but this never happened.
Everyone who entered the contest received a Polycount Pin, as well as a few select people who did not enter but helped the contest out in some way. A list of Polycount Pin owners can be found here.
The five Polycount sets make up the first five Item Sets. Wearing all items of a given set (including the hat) will confer a bonus. The packs added in the Australian Christmas update, on the other hand, do not require the hat for their bonus.

Trivia
- The original melee weapon for the 'Special Delivery' pack was a bat with nails, similar to the Boston Basher, called the 'Nail Biter', as seen here.
- Another melee weapon designed but never included was an crocodile tooth-studded aboriginal club for the 'Croc-o-Style Kit' pack.[2]
- The pack of darts included with the Sydney Sleeper was intended to be a miscellaneous item.[3]
