    Make sure you're updated to version 1.5

    If not, you probably won't see any servers running version 1.0 anymore.

    Can somebody list me all the game modes in COD4 and how you play them? And what % of players and servers are in them?

    I'm assuming it's something like:

    TDM
    S&D
    Domination
    ?
    ?

    Hey

    I downloaded the 1.4, but cannot find the UK version of 1.5, can someone please help.

    I had another look were it says play on-line and no list of people or servers are coming up.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

    Its the reason I bought the game.

    Thanks

    any version of patch 1.5 will work, just google search it. also make sure you let the game connect through your internet firewall.

    Hey

    Got it working thanks guys, just kept to the 1.4 as cannot find a 1.5 that actually works, everyone that comes up just says wait for download and nothing happens, tried 3 sites.

    Also what is the best group to join or the best game?

    This is the first on-line game I have played, so not sure what the score is.

    I played free for all yesterday, found it a bit pointless, as anyone could come around the corner and kill you.

    Thanks again guys for your help

    Also, look for Hardcore servers (sometimes designated by "HC"). It's a game mode that removes your HUD and crosshair and makes weapons much more deadly. It's much more fun to play HC than regular.

    Thanks for that.

    Will try it later on my laptop.

    What is the best type of Multi play game that I can play.

    Remind did not like every man for himself, was a bit repetitive, kept dying every 5 seconds.

    Thanks

    Search and destroy is one of my favorites. Reminds me of counterstrike.

    Edit: Domination is like Territories or Battlefield 1942. The more Zones you hold, the more points you get. Holding all three zones and the dude says "Domination." That's my favorite part.

    I am so new to this, I have no mic.

    So cannot hear what people are saying and cannot talk back.

    Might think about buying one.

    Looks so cool

    I've found very few people use mics in COD4. Unless you're playing S&D, you can do well without communication with other teammates.

    Since we are in the discussion of multiplayer talk, is it me or should the .50 cal be much more powerful. I mean stock it should be one hit kill like the awp in CS, cause the only way to survive a .50 is that you have extended health... Thats why I play hardcore a lot, but Im always finding non HC ones. O and eaves drop is pretty much useless since no ones uses their mic.

    Headshot goes for pretty much any gun... O and yea on that mic thing, back when I used to play Cs 1.6 I had my friend just singing throughout the round while I play and pwn people. Good times...

    It's fun to do when you're on the Spetnaz team and you sing the Russian anthem :)
