6th Polycount Pack and Unreleased Game Mode

Shortly after the release of the Polycount Pack, Valve announced that a sixth Pack (since revealed to belong to the Medic)[1] and a brand-new game mode were lined up to be released with the Polycount Pack, however they were both delayed due to the game mode being unfinished and the Pack having a direct correlation to the new game mode.[2]

ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge, UGC Highlander, ESL 6on6 League and ozfortress Ultiduo5 Medals

Twelve medals are to be added to the game and given to participants and winners of the ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge, UGC Highlander, ESL 6on6 League and the ozfortress Ultiduo5 when the tournaments end. Currently, it has been confirmed that there are a first place, second place, third place, and participant medal that will become available for the first two tournament's entrants, however, only a winner and runner-up medal (designed by Valve) will be issued to winners of Ultiduo5.

New demo format

Robin Walker has discussed a new system for recording demos, where a player can request a recording from the server at the end of a life or round. The plan is for the format to be "More robust" so the demos will not become unplayable as easily as the current system when the game is updated.[3] Another goal is to allow people to easily share their videos on video sharing sites.[4]

Unreleased Items

Main article: Jag

Main article: Legionaire's Lid

Main article: Companion Cube Pin

In the Mann-Conomy Update, a fully textured weapon model, an Engineer's Wrench, was discovered in the GCF of the game. The item is believed to be called the Jag, based on the name the file is given in the GCF. A community-contributed hat, known as the Legionaire's Lid (according to the tf_english.txt file), is also in the GCF. It even has a description. In the November 19, 2010 Patch a third unreleased item was added ingame, the Companion Cube Pin. It is assumed it will be given out as a bonus for preordering Portal 2, similar to other Promotional items.

Large Scale Performance Update

Robin Walker discussed with one of the community contributors in an email about a future performance update in the works, replacing all World and View models with the new C model type, and updating existing C models and the new C models with LODs. This update will significantly increase performance and allow for a greater range of community and Valve item replacements in later updates.

Multiple Paint Schemes

Following radical changes in the painting scheme of some hats (Scotsman Stovepipe and Troublemaker's Tossle Cap being excellent examples) after the December 2, 2010 Patch, Brandon Reinhart has responded by email [5] stating that a feature that will allow choosing the paint scheme for a hat is in development.[6]

Unreleased Meet the Team videos

There are two unreleased Meet the Team videos expected for release, Meet the Pyro and Meet the Medic. As revealed in an interview with Robin Walker by the podcast Kritzkast, Meet the Pyro will be a look at the world through the Pyro's eyes. In another interview with Robin Walker, he mentioned that there will be three more videos, one of which is unknown.

Source Filmmaker

Main article: Source Filmmaker

Source Filmmaker is the name of the tool used to create the Meet the Team videos, the Left 4 Dead intro movies, and other Valve-produced clips. It has not yet been officially released, though it was leaked.

Others polycount contest entries

Valve selected five entries from the Polycount Contest out of a total of 76. Robin Walker has stated that nearly half of the entires were of high enough quality to be put ingame.[7] All of the entries can be located here.

Contribution Site Gallery

Valve stated they would release a way to view all user submitted content before they were implemented into the game (or not)^{[citation needed]}. It is unknown when this feature will be available. A Gallery for Avatars only has since been released. However a gallery for hats and weapons has yet to be made.
