| − | + | The game mode is unique in that it does not allow players to use any [[weapons]] of their choice - it restricts them to a set list of allowed weapons, mainly focusing on [[melee]] weapons as well as other medieval-era weapons. Aside from this restriction, the goal of the game mode is the same as that of an [[Control Point (game mode)#Attack/Defend|Attack/Defend Control Point]] game, in that there are a number of [[control point (objective)|control points]] which the attacking team must capture and the defending team must defend. | |

Medieval Mode is a game mode added to Team Fortress 2 during the Australian Christmas event with the December 17, 2010 Patch.
The game mode is unique in that it does not allow players to use any weapons of their choice - it restricts them to a set list of allowed weapons, mainly focusing on melee weapons as well as other medieval-era weapons. Aside from this restriction, the goal of the game mode is the same as that of an Attack/Defend Control Point game, in that there are a number of control points which the attacking team must capture and the defending team must defend.
Contents
Gameplay mechanics
- Players drop small health kits and weapons upon death.
- The Scout's Candy Cane melee weapon drops a secondary health kit in addition to the one dropped normally.
- Using the Ubersaw does not build the Medic's ÜberCharge meter.
- Players are restricted to melee weapons, with a set of exceptions based on graphical style and vitality to the class' mechanics.
- Third-person mode can be enabled without use of
sv_cheatsby using the commandtf_medieval_thirdperson 1.- This form of third person is different from others, placing one's crosshair over their shoulder instead of above their head.
Allowed weapons

- All melee weapons are allowed, but aside from those, players may use the following:

Chat parser
When playing on Medieval maps, an "auto-roleplay" parser modifies all text chat between players to look like Ye Olde English by randomly applying the following rules.
Word replacement
For a full listing of all word replacements, see this file.
Note: this chat filter is only applied to English words and does not work with other languages.

Added to end of chat messages
- Anon!
- Hum.
- Good sir!
- Good sire!
- Milady!
- My Liege!
- Guvnor!
Notes
- Server operators can disable this behavior by setting the server variable
tf_medieval_autorpto0. - Text beginning with
!or/is ignored to avoid modifying SourceMod commands. - The rules for chat modification are defined in the
autorp.txtfile. - Unlike most of the text in Team Fortress 2, the chat parser has not been translated into languages other than English.
Update history
December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)
- Added Medieval Mode to the game.
- Medieval Mode's auto-roleplay now ignores text beginning with '!' or '/' (so SourceMod commands aren't modified).
- [Undocumented] Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on Medieval maps for items that are not allowed in Medieval mode. This is presumably a side-effect of the item_whitelist set bonus fix.
- Added Concheror and Fishcake to the list of weapons allowed in Medieval mode.
- Added Splendid Screen, Ali Baba's Wee Booties, and Mantreads to the whitelist for Medieval mode.
- [Undocumented] Added Bootlegger to the whitelist for Medieval mode.
- Updated Cozy Camper to allow it to be used in Medieval Mode.
- Flying Guillotine is now available in Medieval mode.
- Added Robo-Sandvich, Festive Sandvich, Festive Buff Banner, and Festive Huntsman to the list of items allowed in Medieval mode.
- Fixed not being able to use Festive Crusader's Crossbow in Medieval mode.
- Gunboats are now available in Medieval mode.
- Updated the Quickplay category for Alternative game modes to include Medieval maps.
Bugs
- If one forces a map change from Medieval Mode with the "
map <mapname>" console command, players remain in Medieval Mode after the map changes even if the new map does not have Medieval Mode on by default.
Trivia
- In the release page, the presence of Team Fortress 2 characters in a medieval setting is explained by stating the Soldier "[Simply] angered a magician." This is a play on the familiar trope "A wizard did it", which is commonly used by authors to wave away any plot holes found by their most detail oriented fans.
- It was later revealed in the Very Scary Halloween Special that the magician in question is Merasmus the Magician, the RED Soldier's roommate.
