Holyland Clan is now hosting Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The decision was made to drop the COD4 server in place on the new BFBC2 server because the COD4 server hasn't gotten much of a workout lately. We will continue to host the COD2 server.

The server ip address is: 8.6.75.78 and instead of waiting for the server list to populate/refresh, it can be found in the server browser by searching for:

[HOLY] Holyland Clan

See you there!

Our private CoD 4 server (8.12.68.187) has been changed to run the Galactic Warfare Mod. There's currently only one map (Mos Eisley). Also, the server has been changed to private so you'll need a password: holy.

EDIT by Moses: Added a video preview of the mod below. Check it out! p>

Welcome back to the HolyLand Clan community gentlemen! Be sure to join us on TeamSpeak (password in the forums; you will need to be logged-into the site to view it) and on our COD2 server!

Welcome!

Let's welcome Frothlee2 back to HolyLand! It's good to have you back with us!

Frothlee, take a minute to post in the forums and let us know what you've been up to recently!

UPDATE 12/2/09: Four new custom maps have been added to the server. You will have to download the maps when you connect so please be patient!

The mod on the COD2 Server was updated this weekend. Among a few new settings/options, the Lee Enfield is once again available to the American team and an enhanced version of Search & Destroy is in there (needs some testing though) which allows respawning.

As always, constructive feedback is welcome and much appreciated and comments should be posted in the COD2 Server Discussion forum section.

Thanks All!

Greetings All!
We’d like to announce a couple changes to HolyLand’s policies that we think everyone will appreciate and that will also make the new member application process significantly less complicated:

First and in keeping with our goal of balancing the desires of our members against the costs of operation, we recently re-evaluated our membership monthly contributions. At this time, it was determined that a lower monetary contribution from each member would still help defray most of the cost of our site and servers. Therefore, effective this month, the membership contribution has been reduced to a flat rate of $2 per month, per person. Members who have paid in advance will be contacted by email shortly.

Second, the Rank & Promotions component of HolyLand is outdated and has been eliminated. Eliminating the concept of rank simplifies our community’s structure and hopefully encourages everyone to feel more like partners who each own a share in our community’s future. Effective immediately, you can remove the rank indication from your playernames and use only the [HOLY] tag in front.

To keep the public aware of these updates, the webpages in the About HolyLand Clan section have been updated. Please feel free to take a couple minutes to go over them.

Lastly, thanks to your feedback, the COD2 server has been opened to the public and expanded to 20 players. Thank you!

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:

Don't forget: TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS are gaming nights (starting at 8pm EST), so drop what you're doing and join us. And don't forget to get on TS before you jump in!
