MGE Mod
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.
