COD 5 NBR server

Wazzup!

Well, here's the deal. I wasn't able to find any decent servers to play on, so we decided to make our own NBR server. Whoever wants to be a part of this, should stop by with a suggestion

Thank you, people!

 

you do the research I will host the thing, COD4 took a lot of work if I recall.

I have the bandwidth, the space, the server.
man I love the benifits at work.

we need to see how COD5 dedicated server works. I dont remember which game it was but it was a PITA to get everything running right

 

i'd rather have a cod4 server, but cod5 would be nice too. i just don't like the new maps or weapons very much, i think they should have stayed with a more modern theme.

 

im in

10 char

 

this is an awesome idea, i'm in too. I would host the thing with my amazing internet speed but I'm limited to 10gb a week.

@N00d13s - are you kidding? old school weapons are the sh*t

 

i didnt like it at first, but ive taken a liking to it once you get into it

 

count me in!

 

if i could get the game to start up i would come too

 

your having problems? whats the deal and what OS r u in?

 

im in also, lets make it password protected, whoever is the person making the server PM the password and time to play

 

i get nothing but a black screen on boot. Here is some detail (if it makes sense)

the game starts in a low resolution, i can see the call of duty loading screen for about 2-3 seconds (its not centered, its in the bottom right corner and only part of it shows in screen). Then, after that goes away i get a full black screen and shortly after that the black screen shrinks to the top left of my actual screen, then it gives the usual program error message "Call of Duty(R): World at War Multiplayer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I click "dont send" and then another window pops up "Error during initialization: unhandled exception caught"

I get no sounds or anything, running winXP x32.

Im not sure if this has anything to do with it, but in order for the game to even load, i needed to put d3dx9_37.dll into the windows/system folder manually since updating directx didnt seem to help.

 

re install....thats poopy, something probably just messed up during the installation

 

nah, reinstalled twice so i just gave up. Others have said something about changing their sound quality (or something like that), but i could find where to change it so i quit

 

just go to control panel, sound, speaker properties, advanced, and change that to 24 bit, 48000 Hz (studio quality). thats what i read/did and it worked after that.

 

What about time issues? I mean, some of us are in Australia, Uk etc. That means when its night over in the US, its midday or in the middle of the night over here (i forgot how many hours were ahead).

meh, count me in. prepare for some Springfield ownage!

 

maybe my computer doesnt have this option, because honestly i cannot find anything like this anywhere in control panel, and when i tried to follow the directions given by you, and google "Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Speakers > Properties > Advanced Tab change the “Default Format” to 24 bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality)" it leads me to dead ends. I have no "Hardware and Sound" or "sound," all I have is "Sounds, Speach, and Audio Devices" and i cannot find speaker properties anywhere...

i feel like such a noob

Actually, hold on. I think i might not have this option. When i first installed XP on this computer i didnt install the "modem device on high definition audio bus." Maybe thats what is preventing me from finding this option?

Im thinking about doing a reinstall this weekend, so dont worry about it too much. (ill be going back to vista if i do)

 

alright,

This game out in US yet? I didnt think so? I am thinking PC version atleast. also, I am hoping it includes a console dedicated server. linux or windows.
I can create the DNS so its easy to remember. just let me know what you guys want and I can look into it

 

I'd be interested in playing with you guys.

 

ok, guys. so what's the deal? i'm a total newb in this server business, but we could all work together on this.

 

i tried and failed to host so count me in as well. uk time.

i had a problem after a re install of COD5 and i was directed here so try this direct x CLIKETY CLICK it worked for me.

 

It's NOT COD5 at ALL.

It's Call of Duty: World at War. COD:WW. It's NOT COD5!

 

who gives a flying ****?

 

Or you could just call it COD4 Episode 2

 

whatever tickles your fancy

 

I didnt even think this game was out on shelves yet?

Get me the dedicated server setup/portion and I will host it tonight for you guys

 

its still a beta

 

It's out on the 11th.

And to the poster above, I think someone mentioned that Infinity Ward are currently working on "CoD 6"... which would logically make COD:WW effectively CoD 5.

... Plus CoD5 is easier to type than CoD:WW, and it's what everyones calling it, so what the hey, right?

 

alright, I will pick the game up on the 11th. I will work on a dedicated server setup for it here at work for you guys to play on. its a west coast server but I can get a 40ms latency to the easy coast just fine.

 

that'd be sweet, man! we all appreciate it!

 

yeah that would be nice to get a dedicated nbr server going, thanks Focusfreak

 

yeah iwould be in, i got the BETA and i think its actually kinda cool i admit i was skeptic when i heard that it wasnt int he modern day but i still think its good.

didnt i hear you could use a flamethrower? if so how?

 

for the Flamethrower you'll need to be lvl 65, its a perk

 

i so wish my computer could run that game, ive been lookin for a new game to play lately (well, it probably can run it but i seem to be quite picky when it comes to screen resolution and i doubt i can run it at 1440x900 ).

 

i dont like cod5. the gameplay kinda sucks and the maps are way to small for the tanks. its let getting 1 shooted everytime spawn killed. its not like cod2 or cod4. its not made by infinty ward them guys can make cod's all day long and they will be very good game's but who ever made this one. just need to not make anymore

 

the game isn't all that bad, but i still prefer cod4.i think WWII is overdone.

anyone know what ever happened with the COD4 server plans that one person had?

 

There's a problem with running servers for NBR, firstly, it's a notebook website. Most people here can't game very well on thiers. Most of the other people who do own gaming notebooks are in school, or have full time jobs, this doesn't leave alot of people left to play.

I would gladly run a server on the new/yet used business class notebook over Cat6 I just got, but I don't think enough people here would be dedicated to keeping it running at a time like this. Summer is great, and that worked out well when I had the TF2 server running, but once school starts for people it declines.

COD:WAW is pretty fun. And yes, the beta has a level cap preventing you from getting the flamethrower perk.

People who are saying COD:WAW sucks probebly forgot the 100% CO-OP story, and bonus zombie survival mode!

 

Yea, I would like to play more often with you guys, but unfortunately school is a big limiting factor.

 

i kinda like this game now. The gun with the disc thingy as ammo is really easy ( i can see it being abused like the mp5 and m4) to use. Hardly any recoil and loads of power. **** thing is there is only 1 marksman challenge.

mp40 is great too, aperture sights is the ****!

 

does the Beta come with a dedicated server by chance? I would like to get my paw's on it as quick as possible for less down time while we are all waiting

 

Count me in on this one if someone puts a dedicated serve up. One bonus if only a few of us playing, more room to wander and try things.

Honestly, I am not playing any map that has more then 24 players max, just to crowded. I love re-spawning in front of an enemy and getting my butt pasted in 2 seconds. HUH?

Anyone run the tank? Pretty useless on the beta maps. Need more room to drive those puppies around and maybe over someone?

That actually helps me rack up exp pretty fast lol. Random spamming!

 

agree'd

as soon as this game hits the shelves I will be buying it up,

might just create a new thread for it and link it here for easy finding.

 

looks like its going to be a console dedicated server. Will take me a bit of figuring out to get it running but should not be too bad

let me know what maps you all want and I will start testing it out

 

any idea what happens to the beta test game we have all got once it is released in the stores in 2 days time. will we be able to continue playing or does the game somehow get scrambled. also will the beta ever allow single player or will it stick with multi player.

 

hmmm, does this game have a demo? or is it just the beta they released. I would like to try the game before buying it but the beta wont work on my computer...

 

I think it has an offline single player mode

 

oh well,its been answered for me.
getting an error message now and it wont load. so beta has been disabled.
would have liked to test out the single player first before i actually bought the game.

 

Just as an FYI - there was no single player BETA. It was only a Multiplayer version with three maps.
I am now playing the full version. LOT of fun. You have not played a FPS until you have burned out enemies from a hole using a Flame Thrower!

So, if anyone here wants to put up a NBR server - I am in.

Shawn

 

Yup I agree. I hate playing in servers that have more than 24 people as well... I find it too hard to stay alive. Just unlocked my MG42 here...

 

lol most automatic guns have such high rate of fire! Some guns shoot as fast as the mini-uzi and scorpion with double tap from COD4 lol!
