the cod2 server.. yea.. because all of our own members play on other servers like drk. play on ours, and ppl will come in

....and the reason why they play on other servers is because our server sucks balls..come on you know better.. its full of noobs and those noobs come from noob config

I see you talking shit, but doing nothing to change it.................

If Im correct your a server admin, do it.  Secondary weapon can be remove I could truely care less. However theres nothing else in the cfg that is "noob" if you disagree please explain rather than running off at the mouth about it being bad.

sorry i just get really pissed whenever i play on the server(getting pissed is a problem i have in real life too so can't help it)... once used to be the best out there.. anyways as soon as I get some time I will look into this! I want to do shit to change it but unfortunately right now I'm way too busy. This weekend I will try to get in contact with ya.

Its hard for me to face the truth that cod2 is a dying game and I wasted so much time on it

I understand man, just for reference though, cod2 is still the #3 most played game on xfire.   So the way I see it, is that were just not reaching out properly to what people want, or letting them know we even run a server.

Quote failure lol..

Anyways we need serious planning, maybe a nice chat in mumble amongst the admins.

We have to learn from other servers in order to attract more people:

a) DRK server: Why are they so popular? Thats because they are running CAL pub mode.

b) La Carniceria: CAL pub mode again so it only attracts high skilled players. People who are bad leave due to frustration.

c) Tool Clan: Their pub is full a lot of the times because they are not running any custom maps as far as I remember and they have very minimal number of mods. They don't have

d) Random Clans: Gathered from Universal, 1shot, esyn, DD, and many respectable CoD2 players. People hate downloading files that modify their game such as a different main menu, taunts, too many custom map packs,

So from what I see:

> People love stock CoD2 and search and destroy, preferably pam PUB mode.

> Custom map packs which are over 10 MB in size are a turn off. Lets face it, when people see they are downloading a 50 MB map pack they just quit the game. Not everyone has the luxury of high speed internet. We can have top maps like bridge,

> Secondary weapons tend to attract low skilled players because they can get a good score with long range + short range combos.

> Custom game types: These are a huge turn off in general. Stuff like beer run is fun once or twice ... but in a rotation is gets tiring.

> Game skins: I love 'em, sounds did a great job with compass/gun/player skins and nobs stickers all over but a lot of good players like their CoD2 untouched. I've heard from many people before that nobs server is "noob" because of these skins. Of course I will not name them.


Again... this is all talk, I am ready to go ahead and actually apply these changes, reason why I didn't set up the CoD2 jump server was because mainly me and Falls used to play and he would have helped me but now that he is gone I don't feel like doing it anymore.

Thanks for reading this article.

some valid points

[pcgamer]

Wtf u got read h4x? how'd u read it so fast... read it properly man, I mean every word or it.

[Knott]

I read it and its very clear and makes sense... CAL pub mode is the pwn and servers without mods are preferred by alot of good players, such as carentan 24/7. That server is always full and its usually good players, and scattered hackers but good admin take care of that. Stock maps are the pwn when it comes to keepin population in the server. Downloading huge map packs are a pain in the ass and people just dont have the patients. I think the pub would be alot better if it were all stock maps s&d, with a max ping of 150 or 200 so all the stupid laggers stay out of there and we create a more skilled environment with more low pings and less HPB laggy noobs.

i did u fuckin tool i went to school

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 30 ppl on now. tonight or tomorrow whenever i get time, im going to tweak the rotation, and MAYBE ONLY bridge, if that, maybe 1 valence in the rotation. its going to be mainly stock, and will have 1 weapon. lets try it out.

[Knott]

Valence? that kills the population period, and what you mean by 1 weapon?

[pcgamer]

That would be great werth ..  can't wait to try it out.

@ knott: Very true, valence is not really liked, and by 1 weapon he means no secondary weapon selection

[Knott]

omfg yes, i hate 2 weps, maybe we should get rid of AWE mod all together and just use PAM CAL PUB MODE and then you can just switch some maps from TWL to CAL modes rifles etc.. but CAL Pub mode so everyone can snipe etc... more players will play for sure and better players. More North American players from the states and canada instead of a bunch of people who cant even speak english and steal all the bandwidth from us !!!

[Cristobal Alamo]

yeah maybe cod2 is dying coz its a 3-year old game...ppl prefer cod4 coz of the modern weps...i think stock maps really attract ppl,and i love the skins 2.hey whats CAL mode?oh and yeah make it 1 wep.

oh and yeah i dont wanna keep downloading stuff my cod2 file before i started playing online (1 week at another server,then only nobs) was just like 1.2 GB.but now its like 5GB!my pc isnt very good so this is really A PAIN IN THE ASS...ive just downloaded 2 many 25+mb things so i can keep playing...and half of it isnt used anymore

[Knott]

Cal mode is League Rules with the PAM Mod. Theres Match Mode and PUB Mode, and both have different set rules but the game is basic and nothing is changed whereas AWE mod adds mortar sounds in the back ground and creates alot of lag and gives you 2 weapons and disables radar etc... PAM / CAL Pub Mode is the best IMO!

[Cristobal Alamo]

then make it CAL mode

[pcgamer]

Nice to see lots of supporters

shit is happening now!
