Polycount Pack

The Polycount Pack is a contest by Valve and the modelling 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. The results were to be announced on July 12th, but were then delayed. 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 were of high enough quality to be in-game, and will be added in later updates. PC Gamer later confirmed that one of these additional packs will be included with the Polycount update as a bonus. The update will also introduce a new game mode and item trading. It was also hinted in a recent blog post that Valve are working on a new training map for a class, similar to the Soldier's training map released with the Mac update. It is currently unknown which class this map will be suited for.

Finally, everyone who entered the contest received a Polycount "Greentooth" pin misc. item, as well as a few select people who did not enter but helped the contest out in some way.
