# Preface
Most game servers provided a limited set of functionality that IW4MAdmin can utilize. This restriction results in the game server exposing primarily administrative commands.
Modifying game mechanics and creating commands that interact directly with the game just isn't possible out of the box.
Game servers typically offer a limited range of functionality that can be used by administrative tools like IW4MAdmin.
This minimal functionality functionality is usually restricted to administrative commands.
Unfortunately, modifying game mechanics or creating custom commands that interact directly with the game is not possible by default.
Enter the **Game Interface**...
# What is the game interface?
The **Game Interface** is a set of utilities that allows IW4MAdmin and the Call of Duty® game scripting engine to communicate with each other.
Without getting too technical, the **Game Interface** uses a [bus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bus) system to allow two way communication with **IW4MAdmin**.
This allows creation of custom commands that directly interact with the game using scripting.
These custom commands enrich the experience and enhance the integration of **IW4MAdmin**.
This communication channel enables the creation of custom commands that can directly interact with the game through scripting.
These custom commands can significantly enhance the gaming experience and improve the integration of IW4MAdmin with the game.
