Polycount Contest Discussion

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.

I like the idea of this quick deploy sentry:

Digging the rocket propelled axe for the pyro.

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.

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.

What else can a scout use?

Well, post nerfs at least.

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.

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

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

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
