Server does get busy during the afternoon hours but mostly busy in the evenings (EST hours). On many occasions, the server is full an only other option is one of our DM servers which is not the same of course. This week, >XI< has brought on a new COD5 freezetag server running the straight openwarfare mod, can be found here (IP 149.56.146.76:28960). Our intent is to have another place for players to go when the NamFT server is full or just want a change. By change, the freezetag on openwarfare will allow us to play maps that are typically not able to run on the Nam mod. The new server is set up similar to the Nam server as this seems to be the pace and style people like but can be tweaked to our liking. A map rotation has just been mostly loaded with maps not playable on the NamFT server. map mp_506th map mp_alcazaba map mp_bellicourt map mp_downtown map mp_dock_assault map mp_dogville map mp_burma map mp_ederdam map mp_fatherland map mp_feba map mp_foy map mp_freedom1 map mp_konigsberg map mp_gustav map mp_kalsville map mp_gb_karkand map mp_koshiki map mp_little_village map mp_mohaa_dasboot map mp_newsicily More maps will be added as they are tested. And by tested, I mean maps that load and don't crash the server or the client (you folks ). I'll need to rely on you for the rest. During gameplay, if there is any issues with a map (ie. too small for freezetag, bad spawns, glitchy, etc), I would very much appreciate your feedback here so it can be marked. Maps I know that are too small I will be excluding but have a couple hundred maps to go through since I don't have a record of maps for openwarfare freezetag. Hope you all enjoy. And special thanks to @Ruggerxi for getting us the server for this and can't forget @Sitting-Duc for keeping up the behind the scenes stuff. Cheers.

Red Maps are rotated once a week just to change it up which works for the number of maps we have for this mod. Yes, we do check the likes and dislikes on and off. based on the general mood of a map, it may not removed permanently but maybe played less frequently.
