Happy to help! Loader and I deal with map testing for rotations and mod compatibility on CoD2 so I am more than happy to lend a hand over on the CoD4 side. I can do any afternoon (I'm at GMT timezone) and most evenings (just not monday and thursday due to prior engagements).

Prove them all wrong Bart and get through this, I still haven't got a bash on you in a while. You're not gonna leave me without bashing you, eh? Hang in there mate. I don't know what to say really, this all feels so surreal. We'll honor him and make our CoD2 servers the best place they can be, a place full of complete idiots!!

Christ, that's the last thing Bart needs. Thanks for the update teddy, please keep is in the loop. Loader will likely let me know ASAP if something happens to Bart. Keeping them in my thoughts. (I am not the prayer type).

R.I.P buddy, you take a well deserved rest

Just gonna step in a bit before this gets out of hand but the saying goes "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Instead of chatting shit, throwing insults and causing drama (which we all love) on the forums I suggest taking it to PM's. If you are that concerned about what the admins are or are not doing or you are unhappy about something then please, message the games respective admins or perhaps senior admins not come in here and make a shitstorm because you can. It sucks that the community has devolved into shit throwing just because someone isn't happy and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. This brings out the worse in people and there are plenty of ways to go about saying things. Don't forget, everyone who has access to these forums can read what you have said and you're cultivating a toxic and negative environment by doing what you are doing. if you are getting stressed at the game or at the players then take a step back and find something else for a while and come back when you're thinking better.

Thank you all for the birthday messages! I had a great day

It just really sucks when the whole server empties from one person. So I can understand the frustration. If someone is too good for the server and they are interuppting the fun of everyone else, the plug needs to be pulled on them and remove them because it's just no fun for everyone when the fun gets ruined.

There's a lot that goes on behind closed doors, Rob. There are things happening that even us normal admins know of or even head admins. We work tirelessly to make the servers what they are and there's a large team in place for each game for that reason. Just because something isn't acted upon immediately doesn't mean that it's not being worked on. I recently just a bunch of Quality of Life fixes to the CoD2 TDM server that have been on the backburner for a long time, and all I got was good feedback from it (after months of some players bitching). I am certain you have seen countless ban appeals on the forums and a lot of them refused and the ones that are successful really comes down to the discretion of the banning admin. This isn't aimed at you but the community as a whole: -------------------------------------------- Just because the player is good does not make them a hacker or a cheater. One thing that annoys me in the MW2 FT server is the constant accusations, the crying and the bitching players make against their own clanmates and regulars. I get it, someone is better than me (like most people ) but I am not doing myself or anyone else favours for accusing others without prior evidence given to an admin. If you suspect something, gather as much SOLID evidence that you can and come forward to an admin. There are cases an admin may not be online and sometimes there will be times where a member will have to record such players for us and come let us know and we will look into it. We cannot go by word of mouth alone. We need evidence to make an informed decision. I agree with @Ruggerxi Seeing negative things about the servers and the games does affect the mood of the whole place. I would like to see some people come up and say "hey, thanks for all the hardwork and the servers, I really like [this] and [this]." Positive feedback can go a long way. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as an admin because I enjoy hearing the positive feedback I get from my fellow admins and the players on the servers. These servers are yours as much as anyone elses and it does dishearten me when all I see is the >XI< name smeared on its own forums. A lot of people like to hop on the bandwagon and are very quick to make assumptions and post but as a tip, give yourself some time to think about the posts before you make them. We come into these servers to have fun and get away from everything.

You're welcome! Happy to help you out! We're in TDM during the weekends at about 2pm GMT for a few hours and in DM during the week late at night. Hopefully see you there!

Thank you hexe See you and bakke on saturday to shoot you :

You cannot find the servers because you are running the wrong version of the game. You will need Version 1.3 which you can download here: Use XP compatability mode with both the single player and multiplayer exe and both should work. As for finding the servers, do you have HLSW installed? If not, you can download it here: http://www.hlsw.org/hlsw/download/ You don't have to register, you can use offline mode in the application. Once you have opened the program you will see a long address bar at the top. Put these in there one by one and HLSW will add them for you as CoD2 servers: 74.91.123.194:28960 74.91.123.221:28960 The top one is TDM and the bottom one is DM. When you join you will probably be known as Unknown Soldier, just change your name the downloads do take a while and if they fail, just reconnect and try again, you can get them; just might take a few times.

Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully the changes go well and if needs be, I can alter them quickly if necessary. If there was a way to give rage quitters an hour cool down I would but so far that's not possible. Would be funny though

Even better if you have an AMD card and have the Radeon Adrenaline software (which you will need anyways for an AMD card). This allows for video capture with a multitude of tweakable settings for the user if you don't want to use microsofts built in system. I use it often and its never let me down.

Thank you sir! Thanks Window, I appreciate the feedback and the kind words. I'm getting the hang of this They will always bitch but it'll keep them quiet for a while. I am a young lad yes, 27 in a week and a half lol

Good Evening everyone! This is just a real quick update on the CoD2 >XI< TDM Server. I have implemented some changes that have been long in the backburner. These updates include: Increased spawn timer to 8 seconds (was 5) Increased spawn protect distance to 200 feet (was 50) You now drop weapons on death so people cannot accidentally pick up someones weapon on a sniper map Slight rotation changes Unknown Soldiers are now automatically renamed to Guest_Idiot# (the # denoting what number they will be) I know these aren't big updates but they are some nice quality of life updates for us all to enjoy.

Rotation has now been done and ready to go. There may be errors with IWD's but unfortunately some of that cannot be helped. We don't know what the client has on their system when they connect so it may give them issues. Loader and I will be looking at the spawn timers today and I will also bring up about the picking up weapons. I am not sure if that can be controlled server side or not. I can look at disabling all but one sniper but that means changing the whole weapon loadout system on the whole server which is something I do not want to do. I want to make minimal changes to the weapons we use due to feedback regarding the last time I enabled certain weapon loadouts. Rest assured, we'll get something going right.

I'll take a look through it when I get the chance to and I am sure @loaderXI can also help you out. He has a large repository of the maps as well

Just an update on the current state of the rotation. I have given @loaderXI the rotation and the maps so he can make the packs and put it on but so far, not heard back if it's done or not. I will update this post when I find out when it's done. So so far it looks like we are using the current rotation for one more weekend. Sorry folks, Loader has been busy and I don't have access to the redirect to do it myself.

Take a look in our downloads section, there is a CoD2 maps area - take a look!

I think I have United Offence, I'll have to take a look. Would be great if we can get a server going for it!!

Hello all, Just a forewarning: I will be changing the rotation at the end of this month (June). I am open to member suggestions so if anyone would like to see a map that they haven't seen for a long time or have a favourite in particular please let me know. I also intend to make some slight changes to the spawn timers just as a trial and seeing if I can stop making people pick up someones weapon when they want to zoom out their sniper! This will once again be a 1:1 ratio of run and gun to sniper but feedback is always welcome. ~Pain

When I can get my server back up and running I will and you're welcome to join. There's been times I've raged, but not yet rage quit. Currently I am on a singleplayer save, set to two players so my friend can connect and we do a peer-to-peer game.

I did own a server for this, but due to lack of traffic I had to shut it down; despite advertising it on the forums! Still a great game though but I recomment the War of the Walkers Mod for it.

Keep in contact with us admins and we can do something soon for sure. I wanted to try something new every few months. Just a weekend event before I change the rotation, how about we do something for that?

I may be older but I still suck at the game I meant nothing disrepsectfully, we (myself, laz, window and some others) always talk shit about each other in the server, it's what we've always done. Anyway, As pman said, don't let the lack of response get you down, it's difficult to organise something on an older game with a crowd that is very much set in their ways as it were. We'll sort something out eventually. Just keep chatting with Loader and if he needs me to do anything he'll grab me on facebook or PM me here. A lot of the crowd want CTF which we've done a few times before so maybe every couple of months we mix things up a bit.
