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.

This is so insightful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us.

You're expecting a bunch of old men doing things that they're not used to or really care for. The game is over 15 years old now. We've tried events before, and the only one that ever goes well is the Fallen Member event. It needs proper planning and also discussion within the game with the players and what they'd like going on. It's their server as much as it is ours. If there's no interest then no point in doing it. A lot of the players in CoD2 don't read the forums and due to their age not even know how to use it. We have to remind some of them to log in every now and then! The only visitors to the forums on a daily basis would be us admins. If I am doing any changes to the server such as the rotation I let the guys know at least a month in advance and do weekly reminders on the weekends. With regards to Saturdays that's the TDM lot and we're very much stuck in our ways of just doing TDM and some CTF. You're better off sorting it out for a weeknight as the DM team will be down for that. It helps to know the audience

As someone who was severaly depressed and suicidal a good 5-6 years ago now, I can tell ya, it isn't easy. I really feel for you fuckstick, going through that loss of a friend in such a way is terrible. I almost offed myself a few years ago, planned it out and everything but the one thing that stopped me was that I didn't want my mom to be sad. And such a silly sounding thing was the one key thing that kept me on this earth. Now I have so many more reasons. It took me three sets of therapy and a different assortment of medications and massive life changes to get me better and to where I am now. There IS help out there for people who need it, but I hate the stigma of "man up" or "get over it." Stuff like that doesn't help. Yes I am better than I was 5-6 years ago but I am a long way from being top-ticket. I get bad bouts; ended up in hospital last November because of my anxiety and depression and only recently finished therapy and getting help. I hear you there completely Timmah, it changes you but you can get through it, you and I are living examples that this stuff is possible to get through. The help I got got me through it and taught me so many life lessons that I try to pass on to others when they too are troubled.

I am sure @loaderXI has it saved somewhere. You could also take a look on the redirect? I know Loader and I managed to salvage some really old maps, one of them being Glamorgan - one we both thought was lost.

That explains how bad the server for a few weekends ago, peoples pings were hitting way into the 300's, if not more. I'll let you know if anything like it happens again. Last time it happened I did a server restart; it helped a tiny bit but it came back.

Hello all. This is just a quick update for the TDM server. I have gotten four maps taken out and replaced with (hopefully) better ones! I have also had the deafening sound of Shalkan taken out too, following player feedback. You WILL need to delete your Sn212.iwd and download the updated one from the server otherwise this will cause IWD conflicts.

I hope so, I've been trying to find it as well

They didn't even get the good side of my face, I look horrible! (then again, if my eyebrows looked like caterpillars, I'd be ashamed too!)

If you want good, you go Wacom. There are of course, plenty of other brands out there but with a tablet you really get what you pay for. A small wacom is cheap and should do what you need. I used them for University and I loved them. I am currently using a Ugee, some cheap ass chinese brand. They're not too bad, they do the job but they're not as good as a Wacom. I am looking at getting a Wacom when I can afford it.

You dodged a bullet there for sure mate, I'm glad that you got out of that shitty situation; it could have been worse further down the line. Keep your head up high mate, keep doing your best and kick some ass. You got me on Steam and I'll reinstall ARMA 2 and 3 when I get the chance (got a new SSD so had to reinstall windows) and come chill out on there with ya if you want.
