Team Fortress 2 Updates
Poker Night at the Inventory Items

On November 3rd 2010 it was revealed that Telltale's new game, Poker Night at the Inventory (featuring the Heavy Weapons Guy and several other characters from both Telltale and Penny Arcade) will unlock several different items for Team Fortress 2. The first of which is a pre-order item, the Dealer's Visor, a Heavy hat. At other points during the game, special rounds will activate and allow players to obtain other Team Fortress 2 items, including the Enthusiast's Timepiece, a wrist watch for the Spy (originally seen in Penny Arcade), Dangeresque, Too?, a pair of sunglasses for the Demoman (originally seen in Homestar Runner), License to Maim , a Freelance Police Badge for all classes (first seen in Sam and Max) and a weapon unrelated to any game, the new "Iron Curtain" Minigun replacement for the Heavy. The game will also allow players to reaquire the Lugermorph Pistol for the Scout and Engineer, allowing it to be unlocked and found for the first time since the pre-order bonus of Sam and Max: Season 3 - The Devil's Playhouse was released. It is currently unknown if any of these weapons will have different attributes but it is most likely that they will follow the traditional theme of just being skin replacements rather than have positive and negative attributes.
Mapper's Medallion
The Mapper's Medallion is a special medal created by Lord Ned of TF2maps.net in order to congratulate the participants of the Art Pass contest. This medal is similar to the Polycount Pin as it will only be available to those who entered the competition. The Mapper's Medallion does not currently have a release date.

6th Polycount Pack and Unreleased Game Mode
A secret sixth pack and a new game mode were supposed to be released with the Mann-Conomy update. However, both were held back due to undisclosed reasons. It was stated that the sixth pack directly relates to the new game mode, and that was the reason that both were held back instead of just one, however it has been stipulated that these packs will be released to conincide with the aforementioned update and map pack.
ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge & ESL Medals
Eight medals are to be added to the game and given to participants and winners of the ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge and the ESL 6on6 League when the tournament ends. Currently, it has been confirmed that there are a first place, second place, third place, and participant medal that will become available.
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.[1] Another goal is to allow people to easily share their videos on video sharing sites.[2]
Open Beta
An Open Beta is coming soon to all Team Fortress 2 owners.
Unreleased Items
In the Mann-Conomy Update the Engineer was the only class to not get a weapon, but a fully textured model was discovered in the GCF of the game. The Item is believed to be called the Jag from 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. The hat is currently not in-game, and it is unknown if it will be released.
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.
