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.

The mod was updated to version 2.0.0 on April 15th 2013[1], the update consisted mainly of bugfixes and 2v2 arenas were introduced as well. The advanced stats feature was removed in this version to improve performance and reduce server load.

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.
