Winners get posted tomorrow... hopefully

ZacD

We all know valve isn't the best with keeping to their dates, but hopefully we'll get to know the winners tomorrow!

I'm excited to see how many packs are going to make it into the game.

Cheeezy

Can't wait!

Bluwood

Perhaps this is silly, but I think it's safe to say there's a chance a lot of hats will make it. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

I don't think the TF2 team would pass up so many hats in a situation like this. And with everyone who entered, there's always the chance of more polycount runner-ups popping up at a later date. So, cheers, all! As the soldier would say, "Each and every one of you deserves a medal!"

Wait...

Psyke

i think valve has something big planned


here's my case and point
this was the dneg_images.vtf just prior to engineer update



this is the new one,


right now there's lotta free space isn't there?

Kalva

From what I've seen in these forums, I'm thinkin' they'll be added plenty of the items, you guys worked your damnedable arses off on all yer entries. But on that kill icon list.. Anyone know what weapon the missing head icon in the second column from the left, twenty-second row from the top is?

Psyke

un-used ambassador headshot icon

Dr. Waldo Fehr

Best of luck to you all, I hope there's a good amount of winners picked!

Snowloss

That does free up a little bit of space... just a bit though.

The question now though... is how they'll release the winners. The way I see it, there's three options:
1) Release the weapons as straight up skin replacements (relatively unlikely)
2) Release them with abilities they've been saving, but haven't used
3) Release them much later with abilities they've custom made for the weapons


Either way, I'm pretty darn excited to see the results for tomorrow.
Good luck guys!

Sharc

The Ambassador's headshot.

Edit: Whoops, ninja'd.

well green marine has confirmed valve has plenty of ideas and pre-coded stuff they lacked the models for, also they have been already coding quite a few of the chosen winners i belive.

Thanks (again), Psyke!

They don't mean 12:00 PM... Even if they were going to post it at midnight it'd be at 12:00 Pacific Time which is in 2 hours.

*Edit*
This is also my reaction to when someone on defense has the Wrangler on a lvl 3 sentry.

RossC

Yeah, I kind of expected them to reveal the winners later in the afternoon, not directly at midnight.

I hope they alteast include some notable weapons/items from various packs that didn't win along with the winning packs. I know I'd be happy if they just chose one of my weapons.

I think you meant 12am, 12pm is the afternoon :P

Valves famous refresh time is 11:00 GMT -7 (thats just my time zone) but whenever they drop updates for me, its then.

crazy-g

there's a kill icon for deflected flaming arrow headshot, but not blutsauger or backburner? :poly142:

Sup. I'm the author of the new icons, but Valve chose not to use a lot of them for some reason. Even the Ubersaw taunt kill one doesn't actually work.

1Fort 2Fort

bump for no reason. Im thinking most of the hats will get in game eventually.

EVIL

zomg so exiting!

BANG!

Yay! can't wait! good luck too all

Mico27

The next few hours will be the longest hours of my entire life.

EvilShadow777

Few more hours until the big announcement. That or a few more hours until "Day 1" if they choose to do it in that style. I think it'd be kinda amazing seeing a winner or two announced every day.

Pogo

:eager:

Mr.Tomato

Maybe valve will made thy own page of every update-winner... But that will too good.
And that will take 9 days.

nex

omg, I

-didnt take part in this comp
-pretty much saw everyone's packs

and im still hyped about this

Hotdogbunker

Hopefully with all of these new hats getting in. Perhaps they could increase the drop rate a little bit...

Ditto.

Yanma024

Is anyone else refreshing the blog every few minutes? I am, I really want to see the winners.

Swizzle

I'm so stupidly anxious about this. It's not even funny.

Frump

I am surprisingly relaxed given the circumstances. Here's hoping I can stay that way after seeing the outcome.

EzMeow

I'm already over prepared with the waiting session! Thanks to the unearthly challenge xD...I can wait 8 month more !

ScudzAlmighty

I just can't wait to play with Swizzle's junk

Last time somebody played with my junk, I had to grab her hand and say "Woah, slow down."

At least she enjoyed getting tickets to the gun show.

Thrillho

The amount of talent shown on this forum is incredible... I'll be happy no matter what the results are, because everyone here is really amazing!

Good luck all!

ThePowerPlumber

Oh my god man I was just about to post something like that but then I hit refresh and you already did!

I'm so very excited to see what they're going to do. I haven't been this excited for a TF2 update since last week. It's been a thrill watching everyone work this past month or so.

Woh there laddy, if you get excited once more in that span of time, you might just suffer cardiac arrest!

I'm more excited for this than the engi update, I don't even know what class will get new weapons. Or even how many!

McLovin_Master

All this waiting is torturing me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I'm new, and my weapons won't make it in, but I really want to see who won. I know for sure that Swizzle won though. Awesome stuff man! wish I had pc version of this game, and that my computer could actually play if I did. But whatever. :P

oobersli

well I hope they try and accept as many people as they can. Lots of great work produced. Regardless of what tf2 fanboys say on other forums, I think everyone did a pretty good job and I'd wish that people who didn't submit could still get medals for atleast trying to make stuff. Not an easy task when you have a job/life.

Also... if I don't win I think I'll quit making art for a living and become an accountant/some boring job so I can't enter contest like this and create anticipation. :poly122:

This is my first contest, but I think the wait is half the fun! haha

Buck

Am i the only one who isn't really looking forward to it THAT much? Everything is so good i couldn't care less for who wins!

Snowloss

It turns out they'll all be weapons for the unused Civilian

Kirre

Aww can't they submit the winners soon.
Dying of exitement.
