Revision as of 23:54, 10 February 2012

This article lists currently unreleased content that is assumed will be released before the end of Team Fortress 2 development.


Unreleased items

Main articles: Legionaire's Lid, Gadget Token, Heraldic Targe

Certain evidence of unreleased items can be found within the game files. It is unclear why they have not been released as of yet.

Firstly, a community-contributed hat known as the Legionaire's Lid (according to the tf_english.txt file) exists in the "GCF" complete with description.

In the December 23, 2010 Patch, tf_english.txt strings for a new Demoman shield, known as the Heraldic Targe, and a new tool, the Gadget Token, were revealed. Robin Walker announced that the Gadget Token was "an experiment we tested internally, but didn't like enough to ship", therefore the Gadget Token may never be released.

Pubbers vs Pros Medal

Main article: Pubstars vs Pros

The Pubbers vs Pros Medal is a Miscellaneous item created by Lord Ned of TF2Maps to reward participants of the Pubstars vs Pros event. This medal is similar to the Polycount Pin as it will only be available to those who compete within the event.

ESL Medal

The ESL Medal is a special medal meant for all participants of ESL's 6on6 League (autumn season 2010). This medal was originally planned to share the same design with service medals awarded with the 119th Update. According to ESL's rep AnAkIn, the list of participants was sent to Robin as soon as the league season ended, but communication ended because Valve doesn't answer AnAkIn's emails.[1]

Other Polycount contest entries

Valve initially selected five entries from the Polycount Contest out of a total of 76. Robin Walker has stated that nearly half of the entries were of high enough quality to be used in-game, and Valve has since implemented an additional six entries.[2][3][4] All of the entries can be found here.

Dr. Grordbort's Man Of Science & Rocketboy Packs

The WETA Workshop, known for making Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack, Dr. Grordbort's Brainiac Pack and Dr. Grordbort's Moonman Pack item sets for TF2, are now working on two new packs, the Dr. Grordbort's Rocketboy Pack for the Scout, and the Dr. Grordbort's Man of Science Pack for the Medic. Both are being voted for their adition in game, and these packs may not be included in-game if the community votes against them.

Large-scale performance update

Shortly after the Mann-Conomy Update, Robin Walker discussed in an email with one of the community contributors a large-scale performance update in the works which would replace all W (World) and V (View) models with the new C (Combination) model type, as well as an update to the existing C models and the new C models with LODs. This update would significantly increase performance and allow for a greater range of community and Valve item replacements in later updates. In the updates released since this email was sent, a sizable portion of the game's C models have received LODs. Many more, however, are still to come.

Training Mode for the remaining classes

Training Mode for the remaining classes (Scout, Pyro, Heavy, Medic, Sniper) is to be released in a future update.

Other

Meet the Pyro

Meet the Pyro - Coming soon.png

There is one unreleased Meet the Team video expected for release, Meet the Pyro. As revealed in an interview with Robin Walker by KritzKast Podcast, Meet the Pyro will be a look at the world through the Pyro's eyes.[5] In a blog post[6] the TF2 team confirmed Meet the Pyro would be released sometime in 2012.

Source Filmmaker

Main article: Source Filmmaker

Source Filmmaker is the name of the tool used to create the Meet the Team videos, the Left 4 Dead intro movies, and other Valve-produced videos. It has not yet been officially released, though it has been leaked. Valve has expressed plans to release SFM 'soon'.[7]
