MGEMod My Gaming Edge Mod, developed by My Gaming Edge, is a training mod which puts two players in a small arena, usually cut out from a popular competitive map, such as the cp_badlands spire. Players spawn with a buff, and fight until one player reaches a set number of kills, usually 20. On killing an enemy, health and ammo are restored and given a buff to the player again. The mod itself allows for any map to be used, so long as there are spawn locations for it, though a popular mge_training map is usually used. It is usually the method of choice for many players to practice raw DM ability, mostly used by scouts and soldiers.

Features

  • A variety of different 1v1 and 2v2 arenas
  • In-game ELO rating system.
  • In-game menu system with arena queuing.
  • Per-arena class restrictions, configurable via mgemod_spawns.cfg.
  • Highly customizable and configurable. For example, you could use MGEMod to play BBall on cp_badlands, using the spires as hoops if you configured mgemod_spawns.cfg to do so.
  • Voluntary handicap system to even out unfair fights.

Commands

The mod has a variety of commands, they can be used through the chat, whether by prefixing any given command with ! (ex !add 5) which shows the command in chat or prefixing it with / (ex /add 5) which doesn't display the command in chat.
