I don't play frequently anymore, but I just joined a MGE server and on ammomod_mge arena I see 2 soldiers with 2900 points playing with reserve shooter. After every single rocket shot they flick to shotgun. Every single shot! Is this the new playstyle?
Not hating just curious as I haven't played in a while, seems very tryhard for me and don't understand how this can be fun

ammomod is a martial art, there is an unspoken code that if broken will result in ridicule at the very least. respect ammomod. the two soldiers you are attempting to humiliate are warriors fighting to the death.

speaking anecdotally, since i started playing mge there has been a slow trend toward playing for elo instead of following unwritten rules. there has never been a point where i was like, oh yeah suddenly everyone is cheesing n shit, just happened over time.

i read somewhere a few days ago that like 3/4 of people above 2500 elo on public mge are closet cheating in eu.
so if they are willing to cheat in mge (saddest thing ever) i dont think they will care about playing to improve. its literally just win however you can to get your ego number up.

makes sense given that if you go on their steam profile 99% chance they dont have etf2l or any logs so just alting & cheating in mge lol

You have the wrong mindset. The majority of players you'll encounter in public mge are barely sentient and play like a reinforcement learning AI thats in the process of being trained to maximize elo gain, so you really have to go into it with one of two mindsets:

Mindset one is the bot map. You have to practice hitting airshots on the bots. Sometimes they're programmed badly and do weird stuff, but that's OK, you don't have to worry about what they're doing or whether you hit 20 first because you're practicing hitting airshots.

Mindset two is "going to the zoo". This is where you're joining the MGE server to observe the behaviour of all the different animals. I think this one's fairly self evident but it's the opposite of the bot map mindset where all you're interested in is the fascinating behaviours the other player is exhibiting.

Hope this helps and good luck in your future mge endeavours.
