HLC Server Updates
First thing's first: COD2 Server Updates
We've made some "updates" to the COD2 server to step up the gameplay a bit and make the server a little less chaotic. I combined the AWE mod with our current weapons mod for some added features including the ones listed below. Once we finalize the settings (we need to have one or two sessions on it to be sure we're happy with it), we will be adding more slots to the server and making it public.
* Weapons restrictions (example: 1 sniper per team, etc), grenade adjustments* Ability to sprint (by pressing the Use key)
* Friendly Fire with automated TK warnings/punishments
* Random Helmet popping
* Spawn protection
* Default gametype changed to CTF
* Other goodies
Next: COD: Modern Warfare 2:
It doesn't appear that IW/Activision is going to be reversing it's decision anytime soon regarding offering dedicated server support for COD: MW2. Also, their current plans would not only make it impossible for us to host a server, but the game cannot be modded at all; that means NO custom weapons, NO custom maps, NO custom gametypes, NONE OF THE THINGS that the PC gaming community has enjoyed about all previous COD-franchise games. The game is essentially a console game, with a half-hearted attempt to make the game playable on the PC---nothing more.Therefore, because we will not be hosting this game, we are currently discussing other options including COD5:WAW or BattleField:Bad Company 2 (BF:BC2). BF:BC2 is due out soon, and offers all the things a good multiplayer FPS game should and more. If you have an opinion about this decision, we encourage everyone to share their thoughts in the forums.
Last, But Certainly Not Least:
