Aye, that's tha way ya do it!

After our usual delay, we're proud to announce we've finished the utterly impossible task of selecting the winners of the Polycount Contest. These five lucky individuals will soon receive the unbridled adoration of the TF2 community when we release their packs in an update. Unluckily for them, we're also going to attach gameplay attributes (probably of a game destroying nature) to these items, sullying their perfect work with our clumsy attempts at game design. Anyway, enough mucking about, head over and see who won!

Winners:
The Gasman (pyro)
Tank Buster (Soldier)
Special Delivery (Scout)
Croc-o-style (Sniper)
Saharan Spy (Spy)

Yeah I'm looking forward to that one the most. My guess is it'll be a lot more powerful but might cause the wearer to move slower (ugh soldier is already slow), and have some combination of longer reload time/smaller clip size/lower ammo count.

I so wanted the Heavy "El beloved patriot" pack to win. Even if it was just reskins and not really new items.
