I'd say that a very large size, if not almost all of the active playerbase of this game shifted from vanilla to modded 8BDM a looooooong time ago. This includes class mods, boss mods, and plenty other different mods.

The playersize is also rather small, doesn't go above 100 players at any given time, maybe I've seen at most 35 to 40 players at once recently, regularily 25 to 32 to at least cap out the Gond CBM server.

MM8BDM is fun to map in but however, one feature that would be really appreciated would be linedef portals
Why? Linedef portals bring alot of possibilities to mapping, such as making non euclidean environments, looping areas, more CTF map ideas, etc. While yes we can technically create portals by using a script but it is notably off and can be hard to set up, so i think linedef portals are a must have.

Here's to ten more years of old and new people finding about this game and contributing to it.

"Hello it's Medal. Welcome to the sanctuary of the Forbidden Forest. Came to take a look at my holographic disguises (at my player skins)?"

Reveal Show more

Introducing to you the "Mid-Event Decorative Achievement Layout", abbreviated as MEDALs.
This small addon will give nice handcrafted visuals to your in-game achievements. Hunt these medals starting today!
Just put it inside your Skins folder as you would with normal skins.



Be the one to get the first frag. (DM, TDM, Duel, Terminator)
A highly valued medal awarded only once per round. Go for it!


Land five hits without missing.
It's as if the attacks rushed towards the enemy.


Land ten hits without missing.
It's as if the future was read.


Frag two opponents within 2 seconds.
A feat that deserves praise. Whether it's skill or luck.


Frag a third opponent within 2 seconds after getting an "Excellent" medal.
Even the Medal is praising you!


Frag five enemies without getting destroyed yourself.
It takes real skill to get out of a battlefield alive.


Frag ten enemies without getting destroyed yourself.
Graze death through a cross fire!


Frag the enemy who stole your team's Flag/Met. (CTF/Skulltag)
Be your team's shield, hinder the enemy's progress.


Return your team's Flag/Met and have the enemy Flag/Met captured. (CTF/Skulltag)
Watch out for any enemies that may be waiting within your base...


Successfully bring the enemy Flag to your team's Flag! (CTF)
You must have went through a bit of hell and back. Excellent job.


Tag the enemy's Met on a score pillar. (Skulltag)
Better run and score fast!


Frag the player who picked up the Evil Energy capsule. (Terminator)
The fight between destruction and survival is perpetuated once again...


Win against your opponent. (Duel) // Be the last one standing. (LMS)
Nicely done! We have a winner!


Win a Duel without losing a single life. // Win a LMS round without losing health.
An unlikely feat!


Frag someone who was talking, lagging, or using the console. (Bad medal)
Reap the life of someone whose time stands still.


Consecutively lose five lives without fragging anyone. (Bad medal)
A robot in black laughs at your failures.


Consecutively lose ten lives without fragging anyone. (Bad medal)
A bat-haired scientist laughs at your pathetic fate.

The following medals can't be awarded during normal MM8BDM gameplay


Land 2 consecutive hits with a railgun. (There's no railgun in base MM8BDM)
As impressive as facing the ghosts of your past.


Land 4 consecutive hits with a railgun.
As impressive as facing your greatest ally's shadow.


Frag a foe with your fist. (There's no fist in MM8BDM)
This feat doesn't exist so there's no punchline.


Destroy multiple players with a "BFG9000". (Bad medal)(There's no BFG in MM8BDM)
Good thing that this weapon isn't accessible in online, it just sounds evil.

In Mega Man 8 Bit Deathmatch: Class Based Modification: Gondola Patch, explaining the birds and the bees would be akin to teaching someone the fundamentals of the game's mechanics and strategies.

The "birds" could represent the various flying enemies in the game, such as the Birdo enemies from the Mega Man series. Just like in the game, you need to understand their patterns and weaknesses to navigate levels successfully.

The "bees" might refer to the swarming enemy types, like the infamous Met enemies, which often attack in groups and require precise timing and aiming to defeat without taking damage.

To explain these concepts further, imagine you're in a level filled with flying foes (birds) and swarms of aggressive enemies (bees). You'd need to use your weapons strategically, jump accurately, and dodge effectively to progress without getting overwhelmed. Much like understanding the birds and the bees in real life, mastering these mechanics in the game requires patience, practice, and keen observation.
