| − | '''My Gaming Edge Mod''' (stylized as '''MGE''' or '''MGE Mod'''), is a competitive training mod developed by [[My Gaming Edge]]. The mod puts two players into a small version of competitive maps such as (the) [[Badlands|cp_badlands]] spire. Players spawn with a buff and fight until one player reaches a set number of kills (usually 20). When an enemy is killed, the health and ammo of both players are restored. <br> | + | '''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 [[Badlands|cp_badlands]] spire. Players spawn with a full buff, and fight until one player reaches a set number of kills. On killing an enemy, health is once more buffed, and weapons are automatically reloaded. 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. |

| − | The mod was updated to version 2.0.0 on April 15th 2013<ref name="update">[http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/7213-mge-2-0-release 2.0.3 Update thread] Teamfortress.tv </ref>, 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.

| − | == Playstyle ==
| |
| − | MGE is technically a simple 1v1 arena mod. With that said there is many ways to play the mod. The most common battle is [[soldier]] vs [[soldier]]. Though people also like to practice [[scout]], [[demoman]] and [[sniper]]. Other classes are typically frowned upon and are commonly banned on community servers. For example, if someone played as a [[heavy]] they could very easily spawncamp their opponent on Ammomod [MGE] and make it first kill wins the entire game.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | *The most popular maps for [[soldier]] are Badlands Middle, Badlands Spire and Ammomod [MGE]. Most active servers in peak times will have these arenas filled, sometimes with queues.<br>
| |
| − | *The most popular maps for [[scout]] are Badlands Middle, Granary Middle, Granary Last, Waste Middle and Viaduct. Though matchups may be found on ammomod [MGE], Snakewater Middle and Process Middle.<br>
| |
| − | *The most popular maps for [[sniper]] are Granary Middle, Granary Last and Waste Middle. Matchups may be found on Badlands Middle and Gullywash Middle but these maps are more often favoured by [[scout]] and [[soldier]] players so it can be hard to play consistently as sniper and win.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Optional and Controversial ways to play<br>
| |
| − | * [[Shotgun]] or [[gunboats]]? - Soldiers will often decide before playing whether to use [[shotgun]] or [[gunboats]] as these items can drastically change the way the game is played. It is common to see [[shotgun]] used on Ammomod [MGE] as the flat surface makes 4 rocket gameplay less enjoyable.<br>
| |
| − | * [[Shotgun]] switching - [[Shotgun]] switching is when a soldier will swap between the [[rocket launcher]] (or [[original]]) and [[shotgun]] between each shot to maximise damage output.<br>
| |
| − | * Alternate weapons - Weapons such as [[Direct Hit]] and [[Loch n Load]] are considered bad manners to use. They make it very unfun to play on maps such as Badlands Spire.<br>
| |
| − | * Running away - The purpose of MGE is to train and get warmed up. People do not like playing against people who run away when they are on low health.<br>
| |
| − | * Counter jumping - Counter jumping is the act of rocket jumping away when a soldier bombs on top of their opponent. This is controversial because in a real game scenario if a [[soldier]] jumps away from their [[medic]] then their [[medic]] will die.<br>
