Polycount, an online resource for video game artists, has been running a Team Fortress 2 competition, asking users to submit their ideas for new weapons and items for the game. The winners end up actually in the game.
While some of them are a little odd, look stupid or would wreck the balance of the game, others are simply amazing, both in terms of how theyâre presented as well as their gameplay implications.
The âArbiterâ, for example, paints a target, giving everyone who hits him bonus damage. Itâs down as a Soldier upgrade, but would be more at home with the Engineer, we think, especially if rocket turrets could home in on the target. The Sniperâs Croc-O-Style kit also looks great, as does the Tank Buster, which not only looks like an actual update, but even has the same dry humour as well.
Best part? These weapons and items have already been created as in-game models and tested in Team Fortress 2, so all Valve needs to do is pick the winners and theyâll be made officially available for everyone
