Medieval Mode is a mode added to TF2 during the Australian Christmas event with the December 17, 2010 update.
Contents
Gameplay Mechanics
- Players drop small medkits instead of weapons upon death.
- Using the Übersaw does not build the Medic's ÜberCharge meter.
- Generally, only non-ranged weapons and items or bows may be used.
- Snipers may set their arrows on fire and have them deal additional fire damage by touching the burning flame holders positioned near the bases.
- Third person mode can be enabled without sv_cheats. type in console: tf_medieval_thirdperson 1 to enable it.
Allowed Weapons
- All Melee weapons.
- Scout: Bonk! Atomic Punch, Crit-a-Cola, and Mad Milk
- Soldier: Buff Banner and Battalion's Backup
- Demoman: Chargin' Targe
- Heavy: Sandvich, Dalokohs Bar, and Buffalo Steak Sandvich
- Medic: Crusader's Crossbow
- Sniper: Huntsman, Razorback, and Darwin's Danger Shield
- Spy: Invisibility Watch, Cloak and Dagger, Dead Ringer, and Enthusiast's Timepiece
- Any taunt kills assosiated with permited weapons.
Maps
The Medieval Mode is currently only available by default on the map cp_degrootkeep. It can be enabled on any other map with the server variable tf_medieval set to 1.
Map | File Name | |
---|---|---|
100px | Degroot Keep | cp_degrootkeep |
Strategy
Scout
- Throw Mad Milk when you see a large gathering of players fighting melee.
- Because you can only use melee attacks, using Crit-a-Cola is very risky.
- The only practical use of it would be for sneak attacks
- The Sandman's ball gives the Scout, an albeit very weak, ranged attack.
- Without the presence of sentries Bonk is limited to distractions and escapes.
Soldier
Pyro
Demoman
Heavy
Engineer
- Without the ability to construct an Engineer with the default Wrench or the Jag is next to usless.
- With the Southern Hospitality the Engineer can Spycheck in the absence of Pyros.
- The Gunslinger gives the Engineer a much needed extra 25 health and a guarantied Crit after comboing three punches.
Medic
- The Medic works best when equiped with Medivial Set weapons as the Mediguns are disabled.
- Make sure to memorize the ammo placemants as the Medic is the only class besides the Sniper which has a reliable ranged weapon.
Sniper
- When on the BLU team on Degroot Keep, once the gate opens, position yourself in front of the gate, spam arrows toward the capture point and duck to the side out of the gate's line of fire after each shot then reload. People will be clustering in the capture point and it will be easy to hit opponents without much aiming.
- When on the RED team, once the gate opens, put yourself in a position where you can shoot outwards through the main gate into the battlefield. As most enemies will be rushing in a straight line through the corridor toward you with melee weapons, it will be very easy to hit them as well.
Spy
- You cannot use your Disguise Kit, making the eternal reward the only way to get a disguise.
- However, whilst you don't have access to your disguise kit, you are still able to cloak.
- Stay out of direct melee fights. Instead, backstab enemies when they are distracted in battle.
