Medieval Mode is a game mode added to TF2 during the Australian Christmas event with the December 17, 2010 update.

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 braziers positioned near the bases.
Third-person mode can be enabled without sv_cheats by using the command tf_medieval_thirdperson 1.

Allowed weapons

Maps

The Medieval Mode is currently only available by default on the map Degroot Keep. It can be enabled on any other map with the server variable tf_medieval set to 1.

Notes

Server operators can disable this behavior by setting tf_medieval_autorp to 0.
Text beginning with '!' or '/' is ignored, so that SourceMod commands aren't modified. This was added in the December 22, 2010 Patch.
The rules for chat modification are defined in File:Autorp.txt (direct link).
Unlike most of the text in Team Fortress 2, the chat parser has not been translated into languages other than English.
