COD 4 Server

Hey iv got a few questions about COD4 online..

Are you able to host your own server on COD4 that other players can join ( randoms )?

Cause iv made a private match and waited for 30mins and no one joined D: if theres a way can someone tell me please.

Oh and is it just me or is there alote of lag on servers... Im on 1500kb/s and I get bad connection on most servers i guess because im in Australia and most servers are in America? anyway who cares

Thanks, woohoo 1st post

Man takes for ever for a reply , time for some css to use some time..Hey_Big_Boy

Well I hope your Dad pounded you.

But you just got to join a ground war game which probably offers the most slots available slots and wait it out. If it doesnt connect in 5 min, try another match.

And yes I have no Idea what is going on with online lobbies this next gen, its like they went backwards in technology and it got worse. Socom the first online game had an easy and region coded lobby system, you knew what friends were online, what rooms were full, and mics had a variety of options (mute,vote). But you could always get in a room if you wanted to play right away.

But once your in, it is a non stop action packed game. Good luck

Then how come when i join servers the host end it like half way or right at the start? how ocme i cant be the host of a server . thats wierd/gay.

When you look for a game and you are the first one that was added to the map and it says waiting for 5 more players to join you are then considered the host.

This is such a fun game but too frustrating to wait for a match! I haven't gotten into a match since Saturday!!

I played Unreal for an hour, popped in COD4 for my tactical fix, only to sit there reading "Trying to join potential matches" till my eyes bled! I popped UT3 back in and voila, immediate return of servers, and voila, instant connection to a game.

Infinity Ward should take notes because Epic did a fantastic job providing a very fun multiplayer.

i have no problems getting into matches either

and to answer the TC's ?, when you host a private match you can only INVITE people in

there is no way to choose to be a host in a public match, you are randomly assigned and there is no way to tell who is the host cuz there is no indication of it

I was on that same side of the spectrum. I didn't have any problems finding matches until the last two and a half weeks. I'm curious to know...

What is your current connection speed? Are you wired or wireless?

What router do you use or do you connect directly to the modem?

I have a cableconnection speed of 10Mbps, which is more than enough to play online and downlaod content. I am also wired. I played wireless before but once I plugged an ethernet cable, I got into games slightly faster. Now I can't join a match at all. One of my friends just picked up the game and we had a hard time connecting to one another's party. Every other game in my collection connects online with no problems except the game I like the most, COD4.

Same connection speed. Oh well, I am not going to get an expensive router (I have a netgear) just for one game. All of my other games work fine. I am just waiting for this so called patch to come out already. [QUOTE="dstryr13"]

well i dont believe my router is expensive as ive seen them at $100, to much for my taste

did you try to mess with your settings for your router, open ports 3074 and 3075

My question is why they don't all do it the same way. Figure out a way to do it and then use the same system - everyone would save money. I know someone stated that Home would do this, but honestly - I don't want to do it through home. I want to do it through the games...

Resistance is so freaking easy - a few mods to that and it is simple. The squad system works like a charm, you can invite anybody not just from you psn list, you can talk by pushing a button or be on squad - you can mute anyone - seriously why don't they just build on that and roll it out to all game developers that want in.......

Trust me man, I opened up all the ports. I opened up ports for PSN in addition to the ports to supposedly make COD4 work. Although I was able to get in game finally last night, I didn't understand why my friend can't connect to my party or vice versa. I was talking to him on the phone and he would tell me all that was happening when he accepted my invitation. He said that his screen went black and it said "Unable to connect to host." Then I sent another invite, and he finally got into my party but then the game dropped him. He sent me an invite, and same thing happened. I got an invite to a Sabotage game from someone else, and I was able to get in game and play. I paused the game to invite my friend, and he couldn't connect. Honestly, it's just stupid at this point. There's no reason whatsoever to not be able to connect with my friends, especially when we both have good connections.

I heard that the patch was already sent to SONY and all they need to do is release it. If that is true, I can almost bet that SONY won't release the patch until they accumulate enough sales from exclusive titles such as Unreal and possibly Haze for next month. If they have the patch, and released it to fix the problems in COD4, I don't believe too many gamers would focus on getting Unreal or Haze just yet. But hey, I could be wrong. If SONY has it, they need to get with the program and release it.

Vic, my friend how is UTIII?

If it's anything like UT 2004 I'll get it next week ;p

What up Sokol,

This is my first Unreal game so I can't compare it to previous Unreal games, only to Warhawk. It's an extremely fast paced game. The single player or campaign is just a series of tutorials of the different game types you can play against bots. This helps you get into the most important area of the game, the online. You have the basic deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and vehicle capture the flag modes. I like the Warfare mode (similar to the onslaught mode in previous Unreal games I learned) in which you have to capture nodes to expose the enemy's power core at their base. It's a fun mode. The Unreal engine/visuals are just jaw-dropping. There is so much detail in the environments but you can never sit back watch any of it as there is too much going on. The weapons and vehicles are available in variety and are all unique. Each weapon has an alternate fire. The big plus for me is just how quickly you can connect into games. The lobby consists of a list of servers, with the number of players, and ping info. You can send invites, send messages, and view players info in the leaderboard. Most importantly, there was no lag playing online. The game is also mouse and keyboard compatible for all the PC users out there. For replay value, you can create custom content (maps and some other content)from the PC and transfer it to your PS3. The downside is that the mic support isn't functioning, but I'm sure it's fixable. I wished you could use grenades in the game but that isn't a big deal. Other than that, Epic did a great job in delivering a great fantasy shooter.

Onslaught mode is back! That's all I needed to know. It was my favorite aside from CTF.

This one is coming home next week! I'm so close to finishing Folklore.. Must resist UT until then.. :lol:
