COD UO Server

[Rhino]

I've been following the amount of traffic that we get on the COD UO server and its extremely low. Almost non existent.

Could we possibly turn it into something more useful? COD2 2 vs 2 deathmatch or COD4 server? I'm sure almost anything would get more people using it.


I,for one, would even play COD1 capture the flag if it were running but I cant say if anyone else would or not.

I would reinstall the game if we get traffic back

Basicly a nice idea but it could also cause trouble for the other servers by splitting our traffic/players betwen more running servers.

However, a CoD4 would be nice because we don't run such a game server yet and it it still by far the most popular CoD game with the highest amount of players. CoD2 TDM would be nice because I am by heard a TDM player. Nevertheless SD or a mixed gametype CoD2 server could also be nice. I played SD several times on German servers and it is really different in gameplay and tactics.

If the Cod UO bas server is slowely dying please put all energy in WaW bas instead.
Oh sorry this is my personal opinion WW2 RULES always............
I tryed cod4 but it is full with spawn killers and campers

Advertice CoDWaW BAS more and start a EU server there is alot of gamers who are afraid of a little high ping.

THIS MOD IS THE BEST EVER MADE Long live "CORNROW"-"ROLLINHARD"-"DEMONSEED" and all others involved.

there's no huge difference to other cod games and regarding spawn killing, play on servers with spawn protection or don't play small maps in DM

Well I guess Rhino thinks about changing the server to a server which can hopefully gain traffic and has enough players here at AX who would play it too from time to time. We already have 2 WaW servers which have traffic from time to time (BAS and CTF) and WaW is already a dying game (beside BAS maybe) so a third WaW server would maybe not the best choice. Who knows. We've only 1 CoD2 server (CTF) which often runs pretty well so it maybe could work to offer a second one for another CoD2 gametype, but it could also help to split players and kill all traffic on our CoD2 CTF server. Making it a CoD4 server would bring us a server back for a game we don't host anymore. In addition CoD4 has by far the most players of all CoD games and could, with a little bit luck, bring us new regulars or attention in the CoD szene. Nevertheless it will also have the risk to draw attention away from our WaW and CoD2 servers.

CoD4, Gametracker Rank 3, actually 26798 players online http://www.gametracker.com/games/cod4/
CoD2, Gametracker Rank 8, actually 8234 players online http://www.gametracker.com/games/cod2/
CoDWW, Gametracker Rank 15, actually 2327 players online http://www.gametracker.com/games/codww/
CoD & UO, 2772 (1248 & 1524) players online http://www.gametracker.com/games/cod/ and http://www.gametracker.com/games/uo/

However, it's not said that the server will be changed to anything else. I personally would be afraid to make it an additional CoD2 or WaW server because it really could easily split our spare traffic to more servers and create more damage then help. Maybe it should simply stay UO, should be taken off or get a kind of a training server or like mentioned by Rhino a 2vs2 server for small maps. I don't know what I would do, I still play UO and UO BAS but our server is empty since months. I guess for the moment I would personally let it like it is.

I just had a look on UO bas servers and there were 63 players on 3 US servers
and 49 players on 3 EU servers.
This you said...I still play UO and UO BAS but our server is empty since months?????
Strange your own people dont even play there any more.I think they like WaW bas more.When i look at the stats there are alot of gamers who play it.Too bad im asleep when all the fun begins.Maybe i have to get up 0230 EU time to play for some time before i go to work.
And yes your cod2 ctf server works with people time to time.
You decide but dont start another cod2 server.
Look forward instead shut down the UO bas and start a EU WaW bas server instead........Please just for some months perhaps??!!??
WAW BAS FOR PRESIDENT

Is there any EU members of

Is there any EU members of

We have members from all over the world, incl. Europeans. I am for example from Germany. It is possible to play with a higher PING. I play on AX servers for years now and it is ok. It is not needed to have <50 PING all the time. Take the challenge and learn to play with an higher PING. It is possible. The server in discussion is an own server of AX, located in US so it won't be possible to make it an EU server, also I guess this server maybe can't handle CoD4 and / or WaW.

Regarding an EU WaW BAS server. Who knows, maybe it is possible or there will be one in the future. I personally don't think so because such a server would remove all Europeans from our server and hurt our own traffic. Regarding WaW BAS you need to talk to Cornrow Wallace and / or Rolling Hard the developers of the BAS mod. THere's already a discussion about such a server in the WaW forum when I remember right. Take a look into this forum too to be up to date reagrding WaW Bas. In the meantime, join the BAS server, learn to get used of your ping and start traffic. THis is the best way to make the server and WaW BAS public, popular and keep it alive...

Btw.,

WAW BAS FOR PRESIDENT

It's a game or a mod for a game so it can't be president...

[FredPerrySWE Profile]

Well for me its not a problem with the ping i play on it when i can and when there is players on it.
And i will play there if theres more players on.
Most EU gamers are on by the weekends.
Its maybe at the moment its summer in EU as you know nice weather and so on.
Hope its going to be winter soon!!!! More gamers out then.
Yes i chat with Cornrow from time to time since i love waw bas mod i have to be updated.


btw..

In Sweden we have a King lol

You certainly do.

a new cod in November, maybe a server for that one

Yeah i think if we wait until Black ops we could get a server or 2. Maybe start off with a CTF and some other gametype until we get a custom server up and running.

[Rhino]

For me..I play the Ax COD2 CTF server because thats where my friends are. Grim, Spawn, Deadman, Yoyo, Kim, Baldeagle, Mstake etc.....

I love WW2 and I like CTF. Its a good team game. I'm certainly not interested in fracturing the core group of guys that play COD2 CTF by starting a competing server but there are times we are playing huge maps with 2 to 4 players. We choose to rifle or play shotguns..or all agree to team deathmatch (setting aside the CTF portion of the game)

The only problem I see with waiting for the new game to come out might be slow adoption. Its funny how loyal some of us are to COD2 even though I have played WaW and COD4. Maybe its the fact that we like the simplicity of the COD2 game. Maybe its that we like the WW2 era. For some its probably that they dont like the modern weapons.

I dont know what the answer is but I hate to see the old COD server sitting here not being used at all.

[Rhino]

After bouncing the discussion around among some of the COD2 players I have a recommendation.

Until there is a new game out we wish to support why not convert the COD server into a COD2 Last team standing server.

I think I have played servers like this but not in a long time.

Each team has x number of players. You start on opposite sides of the map and you get one life. The game is over when a whole team is wiped out. Essentially play is similar to the overtime play on the CTF games we play now.

The nice thing about this is that we could play short games with limited numbers of players..2 v2 or 1 v 1. Maps would rotate quickly, game play would remain fresh, and teams would reshuffled quite often.

Along with this I have been floating the idea of a thread here in the forums called, "I think I'm better than _______". Kind of a fun throw down challenge. For example ..I think I'm better than Strider. if he accepts we go to the last man standing server and duke it out 1 vs 1. Maybe best of 3 games. I think it would get members looking through the threads and having fun with challenges. We could post a screen grab of the games results as a badge of honor..and or badge of shame.

Please tell me what you think or if you have other suggestions...please feel free.

I think it's a waste of a server to set it up for the occasional 1v1. CoD 2 is still seeing good traffic, better to leave it alone instead of trying to mix things up.

I say we set it up as a CoD 4 Star Wars mod server until Black Ops comes out, assuming it's worth hosting a server for.

That would be cool with me.

i just got my computer back a few days ago..and after a year of not having UO it saddened me to see that all the great servers have like no people in them now :\ (mob,cuf,ax) i wish more traffic would go to the ax server..such a great mod and maps going to waste :\

Sadly at {CuF} we well not be renewing our UO Base servers (Custom and Large) when the rent comes due.
It's possible we can run text messages on our server to guide traffic to yours.
We also recommend {BA}'s Large Base server to our long time base regulars.

[gitman]

if you guys want some other server up, then just ask. don't approach it like since the UO BAS server is empty, that means we need to replace it. doesn't really work that way

[logik]

if you guys want some other server up, then just ask.

we have the capability of putting up everything back to the original anarchicmod 1.35.

[Cornrow Wallace Profile]

How about an anarchicmod tactical TDM server?
