I want that goddamn hammer
Source has model scaling now, ya? The whole mini-sentry dealio? The Hammer could be a small onehanded alternate for the wrench or a giant two handed alt for the homewrecker.
...yeah right like valve would go to that much work

Ritz then Matt, though I would rather see both.
I would love a weapon, since at this point, even if it was handed out to 95 people, it would probably still be more rare than a community weapon. Though, the same is true with a medal, but a big hulking HAMMER just screams "ha ha I have one and you dont"

I never entered this contest for a medal, but i guess it's nice to get something for my 3 months of work.
I like the Hammer because people would actually see it and be like "wtf".
Nobody sees, nor does anybody care about medals, except maybe those who have them and are obnoxious about it or feel they deserve one (in which case i think i defeated my own arguement because most TF2 players feel they deserve one). Either way, only the wearer of the medal gives a crap about the medal; thus the Hammer would appeal more to my vanity.
If you don't play engi then you're just robbing yourself of at least one-ninth of what TF2 offers a gamer. I don't accept "oh, but i don't play engi/only play X class" as a valid arguement. I find it hard to imagine that you same people would complain about recieving a golden wrench because you can only play soldier.
I'd be perfectly happy if it was just an engi weapon.

No, I meant just the circular part as the badge, and a little bigger than it is now. That's more or less what I pictured when they were talking about it in chat.
Also, whatever this is, the description should include "NOT awarded for being Hammer Legion Members."
I also vote for matt's medal.

I don't play engie because theres always some other chump playing it, and I try and pick classes that will help the team .
Its also one where your time and effort can quickly become pointless due to another guy changing to Engineer. Especially those jerks who put their teleporters in front of mine at spawn to steal all my teleports. But Engineer etiquette is a discussion for another thread. Would it be possible to have the weapon for all classes, but just use the melee animation for each classes melee?
Those engi stats are from when the game first came out, but what ever.

Not gonna work, look at the frying pan. Plus, it makes by far the most sense for the engineer to have it.

Anyone who honestly think this is any official vote is crazy.
If zpq says that this is all void then so be it.
I just think its only fair for the community to be able to give its input just like they did with the polycount badge.

Yeah, I don't think I'll get anything in any case since I didn't submit my entry. Unless the haystack I made for Grazr counts. I assumed this thread was just a place to weigh in on opinions... though if anyone has a bit of a pull with the Valve developers, it's the folks on these forums.
And if you DO have pull, tell them the haystack counts! XD

Now I want the giant mallet. XD
It'd also piss off one of my friends (but hey, he had the chance to be a part of this contest and declined).

It doesn't matter who gets the teleport points, really. Two or three teles is better than one (this coming from someone who rarely plays engie anymore: one Lv3 teleporter doesn't charge fast enough for everyone to use it, even two of them have a slight delay if enough people respawn at the same time).
