Cod 4 dmw server/ section

GhostMjr · November 11, 2007, 04:17:37 PM

After a pretty intense cod4 weekend i am sure a few dmw guys will vouch for the quality of play for cod4 for both its single and multiplayer. So my question to the community is whether we can setup up our own cod4 server and would we use it?

Thoughts gentlemen

I haven't played the game yet, but generally speaking our current rig is running at about 10% load so we could install a few new games on it and it wouldn't be a problem hardware or software wise.

I certainly wouldn't mind it

This time I might actually be able to make it in into of rambling on about starting to actually play some of the games we got around in dMw and then never get around to it :eyebrow:

As frag servers go , it was OK for a LAN. I didn't see much teamwork though and I'm not sure how we could adapt it to our style of play. I found TF2 to be a much better game and some of the tactics employed during our match made it really fun to play.

i was gonna say along those lines can we have a ut3 server when it comes out but not much teamplay in that really :S

Well, I think there will be. In the previous versions there have been capture the flag and king of the hill, both quite good team/objective type of games. I remember at LAN IV when we played HALO in CTF mode and also KoTH and it was really good teamplay.

The first UT had some excellent CTF maps that required that you played as a team to win.

Unreal has CTF, assault, double domination, onslaught and bombin runs. as well as deathmatch and team deathmatch. First few would support game play as well as say BF or CS.

Edit, clarified by finding proper names.

I think that cod4 was fun but i dont think ill play it again. The new unreal looks awsome though.

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask but seems quite a few of you play cod4. So I would have few relevant questions.

I'm not a fan of unrealistic arcade shootem ups. In cod4, 'perks' is the thing I hate. I find it utterly unrealistic someone to have bit more powerful weapons thanks to some perk. But because it otherwise looks great, I ask is it possible to have servers without the 'perks' and are there many such servers?

I have only cod2 and the multiplayer maps are not very big. How big are the maps in cod4? Can you use some team tactics online?

Also...Because I would like some tactital, team based, realistic, modern war game, it seems the ArMa (Armed Assault) is the best choice. So are you playing it and have you ever planned server for it?

Afaik there is no server plans of any kind atm but that can change quickly if we find suitable candidates. If you feel that ArMa is a good choice maybe you could look into it and present it for the admins? Maybe even you could be a moderatot if we create a section for it? Enlighten us.

I thought the perks in cod4 were pretty realistic, whats so wrong with a radar jammer, or a stabilising grip for a gun, or a sight, etc. Plus it turns it into a strategy game, its all about using the right combo for the right situation.

Also "Search and destroy" mode in cod4 is counter strike and plays very well.
