Between this site and modernwarfare2.net we get over 200k unique visitors per month, we are looking for a game hosting company that can give us a COD4 server and when it’s time, a couple COD6 servers. In exchange, you can get on the blogroll as well as a blog post thanking your company for sponsoring us with a link back to your site with your desired anchor text. You can also have an ingame scroll if you so choose. If you’re interested, you can email me at B.M.Goodknight@gmail.com

Screen shots of traffic stats will be sent upon request.

I’m so sick of having to visit multiple “download sites” to get my god damn Call of Duty patches. Half of the sites try and force you to signup for an account on their crappy site in order to get the patch. I definitely notice this trend of forcing people to signup is getting worse as time goes on. With COD4 you could usually get a legit download link on your first try. Now you have to click 3, 4, 5, or more times to finally find a direct link that will allow you to download the patch without signing up for an account at the host site, which BTW will almost certainly end with spam…I mean a “newsletter” subscription.

This message is for IW, Treyarch, Activision, or whoever is in charge of this shit, CUT IT OUT. You make millions upon MILLIONS of dollars of the Call of Duty franchise, stop allowing these download sites to bully your users into signing up for an account. If nothing else, host the god damn file yourself and act professional. You can afford the bandwidth. At the very least, tell these stupid websites that if they force a signup to get the download they will be removed from the hosting list.

Below is the “mirror” sites to download the WaW 1.3 patch. Let’s see how many of them try and force a signup to get the patch, shall we?

Remove those forced signup sites, it’s rediculouse. I just want to download the patch, I don’t want to signup for spam.

I was reading the comments on this post and saw one of the guys made some pretty decent observations about the new perks that were seen in the first trailer for Modern Warfare 2. So, here’s what the guy posted:

What you see above is a still shot at 1:12 from the trailer released last night. It appears to be a few perk icons, what do you think? I haven’t really had a chance to comb through the entire trailer and look at it frame by frame, unfortunately I have a job and bills to pay :[

So most of us had the feeling the release date was going to be 11.10.09 because some game dealers had the release date set last month, but nobody knew if it was the retailer trolling COD fans, a slip up by the sites webmaster, or an intentional leak by IW to create buzz. The same thing actually happen with COD5 and, like this time, it too turned out to be the correct release date.

So anyway, the date has been confirmed and they have released a trailer, the trailer defiantly leaves the viewer hungry for more which is a bad thing for us and a good thing for IW. You may watch the trailer here. If you pause at specific areas you can kind of make out some stuff, I definitely noticed either a tank or maybe the back end of a helicopter…so sad that I put this much viewing effort into this. Here are some screens:

So as many of you know I uninstalled World at War last month and never really thought twice about it until my friend called me a few days ago to tell me they released the new map pack. So against my gut feeling I went ahead and re-installed the game.

The first thing I noticed was that I had to start again, from rank 1. Why is that, exactly? Aren’t our stats stored server side? Or are they stored locally? I could have sworn they were stored server side which would beg the question why do we have to re-rank up when it’s re-installed? Shouldn’t it automatically give us our rank back when we connect to their server? Furthermore, I *SHOULD* be on my 3rd prestige but Treyarch purged a ton of accounts without explanation about a month after release, you guys remember that? Yea, I signed on one day and all of my rank/stats were POOF gone. There were like 10 gazillionbillion threads about it on the official Call of Duty forums. Treyarch, to my knowledge, never gave any explanation or apology. It would have been nice to at leats get an apology like “Hey, we had some server errors and the  75 hours of playtime you had has disappeared, you’re going to have to start again, sorry.”. No apology, no explanation. F you too, Treyarch.

So I digress, last night I played COD5 for the first time in a really long time and I must say it wasn’t bad, the new maps are pretty cool too. It seems they fixed the terrible  browser issues. I didn’t notice if they fixed the bug where nades stick in the trees when you throw them, did they finally fix that bug?

Oh, they also fixed the custom maps issue, before any custom map you wanted to play on it could only download at like 12KB per second so it would take 20min+ to download a custom map. Also, unlike IW, they don’t have the browser set to automatically filter custom servers which is really cool. IW kind of shit on the custom servers and community by doing that. Granted it’s easy to tell the browser to show all servers but there are a lot of noobs out there who have no clue.

Anyhow, back to my profile trouble, last night I played up to rank 8 and went to bed, today I got on and I was rank 1 again. I assumed it was just the server I was on tonight, must have been one of those custom servers with custom ranks, right? Wrong.  After playing S&D today for about 20min, up to rank 4, I wanted to change my graphic settings so I exited the game and when I re-started it I was back to rank 1 again with the settings back to how they were before I had just changed them. So now it was pretty clear that not only was it not saving my rank and stats, it’s failing to save the control and graphic settings as well.

I just really don’t know WTF is wrong with this game, how can you F up so bad? It’s just terrible coding, I really don’t know what else to say. There seem to be bugs and crashes everytime I turn around and it literally makes the game un-playable. I finally uninstalled the game again tonight for the last time, there is just no winning with World at War. I wash my hands, I am done! The IW coded Call of Duty 6 will be out in no time, until it’s out I’ll play my trusty COD4.

P.S. Hey, IW, hows about some screens already? You’re F’ing killing us here with the lack of details and info

I can’t put into words how happy I am that IW is doing Call of Duty 6. I hope Activision has learned a lesson form all of this. Call of uty 4 was an epically successful game, why they snatched the dev rights away from IW and gave them to Treyarch after such a huge hit is beyond me. Treyarch even got to use IW’s game engine and they STILL managed to F’d it up, I mean wow.

OK, so here’s the deal ladies. If you have a clan or are thinking of starting a clan and need hosting, you can host it here free of charge. Take a look at this area of the forum, it’s an example of what your clan forums would look like. Who ever requests the clan forum will be made moderator of their entire clan forum so that you will be able to add/remove boards and decide who can see what boards and so on.

I’m going to need a vouleenteer that will be strictly responsible for setting up new forums for clans. So if a clan requests a free forum, you will be responsible for setting it up, setting the correct permission for the main user, and getting them all squared away. The vouleenteer should be responsible and very familiar with SMF forums. If you’re currently a member of the forums or a moderator feel free to apply. It’s important that the person be very familiar with SMF and how it works as you will have admin permissions and the ability to really mess things up if you don’t know what you’re doing.

So I came across this image a few days ago and saved it to my desktop. It’s pretty cool, it shows all kinds of different stats for each gun in COD4. It shows damage, reload times, and various other stuff. Click on the image for a larger view.

UPDATE: Some people are reporting that this list is a hoax.
———————————————–

A list of features leaked by a game tester on the four two zero site.

So far this list hasn’t be confirmed or denied by IW or Activision but the list seems entirely plausible. There are definitely plenty of people who have had access to the game, so it’s about time some info leaked out.

I took the liberty of bolding the items that most interested me. Also, I’m very upset that the Scorpion is being removed, I love that damn gun.

* Vehicles will be in MW2
* M16 will return, using stopping power will only be OHK at head, neck, and torso (abdomen, limbs, and hands/feet will not)
* Ak47 and M4 will return, unknown if there are any changes
* M40 will return, ACOG damage boost will be fixed
* Scorpion, P90, M21, R700, G3, G360 will not return
* There are more unknown weapons that will not return
* New sniper rifle: SR25M (United states forces)
* New Assault rifle: Diemeco C8 (Canadian forces M4 equivelant)
* New Assault rifle: L85A2 (United Kingdom forces)
* Total weapons in multiplayer are said to be around 35
* Favourite Modern warfare 1 maps will return
* Helicopters, air strikes, UAV will return
* Red dot sightings will come in different shapes for multiplayer (circular, square, original)
* Snipers will have special grass camouflage (As seen in Modern warfare 1’s campaign)
* All perks will return from MW except eavesdrop and others will be altered
*All gametypes will return from MW and all will have hardcore versions

* Solider customization for each class (and each country)
* Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer
* There are NO bots in local multiplayer
* Similar version to Nazi Zombies, however details are unknown
* NO guest players online, 1 player per console
* Killcam save feature
* There is blood and gore

* Story takes place in the Middle East
* Role as US marines return
* Ken Lally voice work in campaign
* Release is set for sometime in November
* New army tags will be available to add different elements in campaign (similar to halo skulls)
* Campaign-only weapons

Sup everyone, as some of you may have noticed I have been looking for a partner(s) to team up with. I think we have a perfect chance to make this the default COD6 community but I don’t have the programming and design skills to get it done and I’d rather 50/50 with someone than to spend a bunch of my own money.

So anyway, I’m currently reviewing the replies I got for the offer but I’m looking for ideas. What kind of things do you people want from this site? Would you like free hosting for your clan sites? Social type profiles and interaction? If you have any requests, now is the time.

The forum will probably be switched to IPB but other than that I really don’t have any definite features that I want to add just yet, if you have any ideas tell me!
