Yeah, I'd say some of the comments are a bit harsh.
This is a pretty decent pack of props that imo are done pretty well all the way around. It was also done by amatuers ground up. I think a lot of the concepts/models/textures are well done, fit TF2's 'medieval' style pretty well and the pack shows a ton of creativity.
I think that get's lost by a bunch of people which is funny considering this is a MODDING community. Some good maps come out of here, but face it, that's 10% of what's produced. So what if only 10% of these models are good enough to make it in game?
Then it's still on par with what this community contributes to TF2.
We have also had maps included in TF2 that a lot of people like/dislike. So that aspect is probably right on par with the models too.
I think part of it is that some mappers open hammer, and they have everything present for them. And it's not too hard to stick generally to design that is similar to Valve's designs and have a 'good map' visually.
IMO modelling for the game is that much more difficult. You have to concept it, model it, texture it and make it meld into the game in a way that people are accepting.
I challenge anyone here who thinks that stuff looks terrible to do ONE model any better.
It's like modelers around here have always been second class citizens, and I realize it's a 'mapping' forum not a 'modeling' forum. But they do go hand in hand with custom content for TF2.
So I say to the team, congrats on the release and good luck getting in game.

Sure, some of the comments are a bit harsh, but perhaps only because they come over as direct attacks claiming everything looks terrible. I can't speak for the others, but I know that I don't want to see most of these items in-game because after the cow mangler and bizon, I'm seeing the effect of drastic changes in the art style.
Personally, I don't want valve to implement these weapons in-game because of the art styles not blending well. Perhaps they would be better fit in a sort of total conversion, where the entire setting of the game is medieval, with new character models and perhaps redesigned maps.
I'll be the first to say that I wish I could make models like those seen in the pack. They're all very nicely done, though not all are as clever or ingenious as others, but it just... doesn't fit.
I commend everyone who worked on the update, I don't think I could do it just yet, but I hope no one loses any sleep over the idea that I won't use them because I prefer the 1950s setting.

Call me silly, but I believe the bison fits the artstlye better than pink or lime paint.
This is something i can easily agree.
They are just like out of some 60's scifi film and i think it fits crazy world of TF2.

I agree, HellJumper and Wilson. Looking at the pop culture of the 60s, one can see that Star Trek and Doctor Who also existed at the time of TF2, so maybe we can get some phasers and sonic screwdrivers in TF2 as well. :O
Next week, Doctor Who spy set.
Spy gets sonic screwdriver to replace his sapper and 3 different style fezzes and bowties.
I've hardly seen anyone with either of those, so I guess I can't really judge that all too well.
MORRIGAN ALLEY UPDATE (B3)

* Fixed teams not switching when RED wins the round
* Added support for bots
* Reduced RED spawn time slightly
* Reduced BLU spawn time immensely.

Fanta you have no idea how much you confused me...
You see, I didn't look at the post date, and this is the first time I saw this communitty update.

I made a noose for Schwa once, you could use that maybe

The content is still on TF2mods servers I think, it's just after the recent server move the webpage isn't linked up to it properly. Smashman who made the medieval site is pretty busy with other projects like mods.tf but he does know about the problem as I spoke to him about it a few months back. He's at Eurogamer right now ( I met him yesterday there) but i'll poke him about it again afterwards
