That's essentially what us mods do, Timmah. We do the work for the admins when they aren't around. Sadly I don't moderate CoD4 so I can't move things forward. But I get what you are all saying and I agree. There are a lot of admins that are either based in the US or perhaps Australia but I feel there isn't really anyone in the middle of that, such as Europe - so no one to be around in the early hours of the day for the breakfast club lot ----------------------------------- I have a few problems with it all, one is the lack of admins around some parts of the day, another is all the dead servers. All the flash in a pan servers, ones that don't even get touched. I am happy with CoD4 having its two FT servers and the Ace Mod server. They are the ones that get played. Also the server crashes and map crashes, it's really bad for the game and will drive people away. Find the offending maps and take them out, that's what @loaderXI and I do on CoD2 when making new rotations. This isn't a go at the admins, not in anyway, I just wish there was a little more that could be done.

The >XI< Discord server is pretty much all minecraft anyway lol, not my scene. I am in the server but just muted it.

To be fair mate, I am bored as shit not being a student anymore! Working on the server is giving me something to do though, which is nice

Don't wipe any IWD's off of TDM though, I am working on something using those

@Painsponge The server is back up and I can connect so give it a shot when you can and see if you can connect. If not, let Loader or I know and we'll see what we can do

There have been a few issues with regards to connecting again recently. I cannot connect to DM at all, on HLSW it's timed out and won't let me connect, even if I try to connect through the Console in the game. Yesterday afternoon there were some issues with the servers, not only the CoD2 servers, with high pings for some players. I'll make sure to get it restarted and see if that does anything, @loaderXI will have to get that bit done. I'll keep people up to date on the status of the DM server

Comedy relies on stereotypes such as Apu and ALL the other stereotypical characters. Look at how many are rife in some of the most popular comedy shows! Without such tropes, it won't be funny, it will be like watching plain old 'average Joe' characters doing pretty much nothing.

Fucking butt-hurt snowflakes ruining something else...

Can the world just stop from this stupid ass bullshit? Fucking snowflakes need to grow up. Jesus H. Like, they are wanting to ban some costumes on halloween for being "offensive" and whatever. Sorry but why can't these people take a bloody joke? They're likely vegan too..

Can we just go old school and go CoD1? Then again, we have CoD2 servers but would love some more players in it! Only about 12 regulars on TDM now and not sure on the DM numbers.

Say whaaaa?! I hope you're okay Kitty! Sad to see you go, always enjoyed seeing you in server, it won't be the same!

Unfortunately you will need Steam open for it to launch as you have got it on Steam. If you exit steam and close the application and try to start the game you will get an error message saying: "Failed to find Steam" so unfortunately Steam will be required to launch the game which is a bit of a pain in the ass

@loaderXI should be your first port of call here with. I for one don't understand why Steam is overwriting the game files. I have the Steam version but don't launch it using Steam so mine is generally okay. Had a few times where my controls will reset but that's about it. I connect direct to the server using the program HLSW, give that a go. It should be in the download section. It allows you to connect directly to the server without having to go through the main menu. Steam should be open if you are using the Steam version though. You can actually change your name and fix hunk_meg issues without opening the game in the config files. Go to where CoD2 is saved on the PC Like: Program Files (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > Common > Call of Duty 2 > 28 > Players > [Your Name] > config_mp Open that up in notepad or notepad ++ and search for seta com_hunkMegs "160" and set that to seta com_hunkMegs "512" Changing the name is in the same file. Look for seta name "Unknown Soldier" and change it to seta name "ColdSore"

Happy birthday you old fart! I'll give you a bash or three on the weekend!

We'll figure something out. Christmas is a bit up in the air as it is with my family - my dad and I don't want anything to do with each other anymore so that's going to make Christmas awkward something will be figured out in time in regards to my girlfriends family

So sorry to hear this loss! Take time off work and time away if you need it. We're always around if you need someone to shoot at and take some frustration out

thanks mate! Yea I should get the place at UKC, would be great to! Plus as I live in Canterbury I won't have to travel far to the campus! Student debt can wait, I won't have to pay it back until I start earning 21k or more I may be grown up but I'm still an idiot

People still play thresh? Then again, in EU we're a bit more in your face with our supports (looking at the amazing play from FNC which won them the EU LCS Summer final)

Me in my graduation gown. I don't smile for a reason

Thank you everyone for the kind words - it means a lot to me. I had a really good time yesterday and was quite emotional as it was the last time I'd see a lot of these people. All of us worked hard to get this done and I was pleased to work alongside such talented people. My mum and girlfriend are extremely proud of me and I am proud of myself. If I went back to do it again with the knowledge and the confidence I have now, I know I can get the highest grade but no stopping now. Aiming for my next level of education!

Hi all, just wanted to let anyone who is interested that I (of all people ) am graduating from University today with what we in England call a Upper Second-Class Honours Degree (2:1)! I am very pleased with myself and have the honour of graduating in Canterbury Cathedral which I am really looking forward to! Just wanted to share the good news! Also later this week I am applying for my Master level degree in Computer Animation of the University of Kent and I cannot wait to start that next year if I get accepted for an interview and then offered a place! Hope you all have a great day, I know I will be ~PainKiller>XI<MOD

If you want to play it with me, you can add me for sure. PainKillerXI-94

I was in a game and I randomly chucked me out then in my squad a bunch of random people started showing up. I was so confused. They need to sort out the squad system, I hope they get it fixed

I'll be joining on that one mate!

For once I am going to agree with what BDS said! We all go through hardships - my girlfriend is in a similar spot to you now, we're afraid her grandmother won't make it to christmas and to my girlfriends 21st birthday. What matters is that, as BDS said, you woke up this morning, you have all your family and your friends and us crazy fuckers. You'd be amazed how well people can bounce back though! What matters the most is that you and your family are there for your grandfather and you're all there for each other
