I don't know what kind of Asian regulars you've considered, but historically in the past 6 to 7 years in TF2 Asia, MGE has and is always been a popular gamemode that regularly gets ...

Re: Suggestion - MGE


I've implemented this on Virginia 2 only. There is a MGE map, which can be nominated infinitely (it never enters the "played recently" pool) and the MGEmod plugin activates only on that map. There are currently no player count restrictions on when you can nominate it, nor does it get swapped off ...

I have no idea where else to post this, but whatever command or plugin allows soldier/demos to rocket jump during freeze time should be expanded, as you used to be able to conga forwards too.

do you have historical sources for this? when did that get patched? would be helpful to know

Re: Suggestion - MGE

if a waiting room server is needed whenever a server is full, just spin up another server without ddos protection (so that its cheap) and put the mge mode in it.
anyways, having instant respawn when the playercount is like less than 6 seems nice

The MGE sourcemod plugin is compatible with the Weapon Reverts Extended plugin. I have tried this multiple times on a dedicated server when testing reverts with other people.

I think the pre-GM dead ringer is preferred is because of feigning on low health is much more consistent than the Tough Break dead ringer, I guess that tanking crockets with 15 HP is what dead ringer should always been doing.

Should we try out the blanket pre-Gun Mettle Reverts again? It will still use the same plugin Castaway currently uses (Extended Weapon Reverts Plugin) but has the pre-GM variants imported from the old plugin.

At least, on one server that is. Or on another server (without expensive DDoS protection ...
