Could be wrong on some games but the only patch needed should be the version we run on said server example COD2 we run version 1.3 so you would not need version 1.2

I do have this one for Cod2 ----- http://www.xtremeidiots.com/topic/49750-how-to-install-cod2-on-win-7-and-win-8/ Cant speak for anything other then Cod2 BUT - Are there any specific issues one should be aware of in reinstalling each of these games on a Windows 8.1 system? YES MAKE SURE THERE IS NO USER ACCOUNT OR YOU ARE INSTALLING UNDER THE ADMIN ACCOUNT AND WATCH THE PATH IT IS BEING INSTALLED UNDER - How do I copy/transfer my game history for each of these games, or, must I start over with each of them? YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR MAIN FOLDER - Where do I find all of the game updates; is there a single update for any/each of them that includes all the previous updates? COD2 http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/category/20-patches/ COD4 http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/category/21-patches/ COD5 http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/category/22-patches/ CRYSIS http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/category/23-patches/ - Can I copy all of my maps over so I don't have to download them all over again; where are they for each game? YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR USER/MAIN FOLDER FOR EACH GAME - What else should I know? WE ARE IDIOTS Bottom line: has anyone written this manual? If not, could someone? PERHAPS WE CAN IN A GROUP DO SUCH A THING

We share in your sorrow RIP such sad news to hear of her passing Please except my condolences my thoughts and prayers are with you all... loADER>XI<

Thanks everyone for your input ....@@DeathWaveUK yes there are still maps on there uploaded by admin that were migrated over..They will be removed and updated at some point as I go along...Many of the maps you listed either were just in rotation or some I can not get to work like mp_overgrown is one @@Artimus Prime Valley Summer / Mechanica and MTL Hobbiton are the ones you are talking about I will see what can be put together on the next rotation swap

Happy Birthday Lowgun

How awesome was that ! Fooking FANTASTIC

I have been planning on Etch-a Scetch...That way all my grandchildren can play with me

Hey everyone as most know I have been updating our COD2 map download section.. Trying to build a extensive library with as much info and screen shots for evey map I can find for us and the COD2 community..At some point I would like everyone to explore the download section so that way any map suggestions for rotation on DM or TDM.. Mind you I still have a long way to go until finished in the end there should be some where in the area of 400 maps more or less.. So if all of you dont mind and care to look here is a quick link http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/category/8-maps/ Also I have tagged every map with the size/game type and mod they support example map size = small,medium,large,very large example game type = dm,tdm,ctf,sd,hq, example = em 2.4 = Extreme mod 2.4 /em 2.5 = Extreme mod 2.5 etc. You can use the tags to narrow down searches for any of the above... You can mouse over the tag icon at the beginning or from any selected map...
