5punk

After installing 1.3 the other day, I can connect to the 5punk servers fine, and the odd server, but I seem to have problems connecting to the majority on the list.

Quick pop onto infinity ward's forum, and apparently the master server can't cope with lots of players, so shits bricks occasionally.

Solution:

Type /cl_ConnectionAttempts 30 (or 60) in the console and be patient.


Edit: Also I've found typing in /reconnect while it's trying to connect yields better results.

I had this as well, then i realised that it was set to search local instead of internet. D'oh.

:facepalms:

Most servers under 100 ping should connect fine within 20 attempts. The others aren't worth playing.

Unless the master servers are nips north, which is usually the problem.

Seems bad planning on IW's part though, they knew they would have a big game on their hands to a degree (due to the following of the series), the server shouldn't be falling over.

first week odd after the merkin release was fucking awful.

on the plus side, the servers at the start would let you in even with an iffy key

I think CoD2 still lets you in with sweepkeys unless someone else is using it on the server.

yeah, but that's cod2...

You sir completely missed the point.

twss?

Yeah, that's grand, we can play CoD2 if we want to, but we're not going to amirite?

Why would we when we have the epicly epic cod4?

I don't think they're that different really. COD4 is just COD2 with the bits they missed out put back, ie cookable nades and sprinting. The unlocks help loads though.

Thats What She Said

COD4 seems to be killing my internets now, they will work fine before i start it, then as soon as i try to connect to a server X-fire will disconnect I have to wait 5 minutes for COD to tell me that the server has timed out, then after I quit the game my internets run slower than an below the knee amputee.

Have you tried playing it with xfire turned off, or with xfire in-game turned off?

Or with the internet turned off?

Could be your antivirus/firewall. I had to change mine completely due it's propensity for shitting up my connection whenever I played multiplayer games (for reference it was Bullguard - managed to crash Titty Quest, SWAT, Soup Com and numerous others).
