thank you mate just go and check it out the now!!!

Then again all the servers will be 1.0 and not v1.2

shit

[r1ncewind]

the latest i heard is that it was out in 2 weeks. 8O
is this the real deal then? :?

[rfcrangers]

Well went threw all the stuff like it was updating it then it has changed the version to v1.2...

If no one else gets it i will be fucked as dont know if you could put it back to v1.0 without full install.

Can`t get onto multiplayer server as am having a string prob...

[The_Joker]

Should have backed up your original folder, only YCT have it just now col is putting it up in a min jump on the private server Davie and we will try the exploits out see if it still works

[imported_mrcol]

Yes i done the YCT server first, then ours

All ours are now done.. no PB on them yet, they was open 2 mins be4 they was packed out!

[pup]

goodness me we are having a busy and eventful week!

top notch admin strikes again

[pup]

good grief! our HQ, CTF and TDM servers are ram packed

[Hellfire]

railyard looks sweet :lol:

[russellg81]

fun playing with you all trying the patch out shame it does not sort anything... the only good thats came out the patch is the 2 maps and PB...

and a big sry to Rince for offending the things that he love's :)

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[pup]

aye .. nothings fixed, just two new* maps and punkbuster added.. nothing more than that

but actually i think playing in disney character costumes would have felt more like 6 months worth of working on a 'fix' than we got

*one old one, harbour and one new one that people said recognised from modded cod1

[Hellfire]

the rhine 1 was released as a beta months ago for cod2 nothin new there
:(

[imported_mrcol]

going from what i have read you are right.

It is meant to have 128k gamestate which should allow the modders to do pretty much all they want for crazy goo dmods, or crazy bad as some turn out.

Editor to be soon too (where have we heard that be4?)

Dunno bout the hitboxes, but ya can sort all the recoil in the configs, have mappers make bigger mapas and basically anything ya want, which is great but, most didnt buy a lego kit!, they bought a game.

I never once expected them to change too much, they aint got it in them too. They really should have sorted the hitbox issue though, that has to be standard, recoil and what not is a diff matter.

But if everyone else is happy enough, thats good nuff for me, i aint got masses of time to be playing at the min anyways.

[r1ncewind]

im a bit dissapointed to tell the truth. :(
its a kick in the teeth for those that waited patiently for better things (myself included).
the 2 new maps are basically shite. i would of preferred depot or rocket than harbor. and the rhine map is too small and only suitable for S&D.
also read that things were changing in CTF and HQ, but never noticed anything new. :evil:

lets hope that PB brings something.
i feel abused at the moment as someone has clearly fucked me up the arse with-out me knowing. :(

That's gonna be a right shock for your boyfriend Rince, have you told him yet? Or maybe he's not the jealous type? :wink:

I hope you're not pointing the finger at me Rince. 8O

That's not his finger Falky. 8O

Back on topic. For those of you who didn't or couldn't be arsed here's the readme with the massive* list of changes.
* pathetically small
Apart from the 2 maps & PB...

- Added a "PunkBuster" filter under the "Filters" section of the "Join Server" screen.
- Added a "PunkBuster" display column on the "Join Server" screen.

- Added HTTP redirection for Servers running Mods or custom maps.
To enable redirection on the server, set sv_[Only registered and activated users can see links] to 1. Set sv_[Only registered and activated users can see links] to the base directory where the files are stored. For example, if the server had a file named 'myfile' meant to be stored locally at \Call of Duty\Main, sv_[Only registered and activated users can see links] should be set to "[Only registered and activated users can see links]". The file should be stored at [Only registered and activated users can see links] To prevent clients from taking up a slot on the server while downloading, set sv_[Only registered and activated users can see links] to 1. This will free up a slot for the duration of the download and the client will attempt to autoconnect when the download is complete. Set cl_[Only registered and activated users can see links] to 1 to enable redirection downloading on the client.

- Added a new Multiplayer welcome screen when joining a server that details the Map objectives and victory conditions.
- Added a "Message of the Day" for Multiplayer servers that will appear on the player's welcome screen upon joining. Server admins can control this text by setting the "\scr_motd" dvar to whatever text is desired.

- Added Multiplayer spawning logic that will reduce instances of players spawning in front of enemy players.

GENERAL FIXES
- Corrected an issue that occurred on certain systems using AMD(R) Dual-Core processors where player health would not replenish at the intended speed.


MULTIPLAYER FIXES

- Fixed a potential exploit where players could get outside the map boundaries.
- Corrected an exploit that caused some servers to shut down unexpectedly.
- Please note that all "Message of the Day" text needs to be less than 1000 characters total.
- Hovering over an enemy player no longer causes the crosshairs to highlight in red. This change does not affect teammates and crosshairs pointed at a friendly player will still highlight green.

Headquarters Changes
- Adjusted the objective timers to ensure that the objective respawns more quickly once destroyed.
- Removed compass icons for potential objective locations before the objective has spawned.

Capture the Flag Changes
- Added HUD icons to show the flag post location when the flag is missing.
- Players in possession of the flag are now identified as flag carriers on the scoreboard.
- When an Allied player picks up the flag, fellow teammates will now see the flag carrier's position displayed on the compass.

[shifty]

Could not agree more Rince. 8O
I played till gone 3am last night,maps are shite,hitboxes have not changed,I think all we have here is PB and a couple of new maps thats it.

I too have waited patiently like many of you,and am now p****d with this f*****g game,and the assholes who in IW who keep palming us of with this crap,and we like fools wait for there groundbreaking patch "yea right".
:twisted: :twisted:
All there concentrating on is cod 3,so they can get more money out of us,well they wont be getting anymore from me,till I know the game is good,and not riddled with shite.

[willofgod]

Oh well, back to BF2 then? :lol:

OK OK, dont say it, I wuz kidding!

[shifty]

Willo that may not be a bad idea,as there are a lot of fixes for it.
Have not played for some time,so I`ll have to put it back on the pc,and give it a whirl with all the new patches. :D

I just get the feeling this COD2 aint going no where 8O /

[Wags]

I haven't played with the patch yet, but at least it has PB. which will comate cheating (to a certain extent).

Maybe I'm in a minority, but despite the 'issues' with the game I still enjoy it - which is the reason why I still play it - This is more than I can say for RO :roll:


Oh well, back to BF2 then?

Funnily enough I downloaded the latest patch for this 1.22? which weighed in at 340mb and have been playing BF2 Special Forces for a quick blast late at night and have enjoyed it (nice small maps) - so if you fancy a game Willo, let me know. :wink:

[russellg81]

the codboom exploit still work's [Only registered and activated users can see links]

also the gamestate is still 16k [Only registered and activated users can see links]

both links are vids :x fucking joke this patch is.

think its time we kidnapped that Grant Collier prick and give him a good kicking for ruining the COD series..then dump his body in the wood's :evil:

((note to self: come up with a better plan that evolve's Rince getting the blame))

Anyway l know that would make me feel better :) or maybe just tattooing the word Cunt on his big forehead as it does suit him the big cheesy grinning bastard...

who's with me ;)

[hopik]

He looks to have an underbite and that makes sense.
Yes I am in, I can sit on him while you do the artistic stuff Russ

[Maggot]

Now now Hopik. Don't encourage him.

And anyway you know these northeners can't spell.

Leave the writing to us few from the south and Russ can do the kicking, which he'll enjoy more anyway.

[shifty]

I`m with Russ,I`ll supply the baseball bats,and watch while Russ does the spanking :D :D .

By the way Wags I`m not off till next Wed,& Thurs,so I would not mind a blast on the old BF2,just bought the addon for £10.
Thing is I`ve got to install Bf2,so what patches do I need??,as there are a few,as you can see.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[Hellfire]

i think the cod2 patch has killed the game the lag is making it almost unbearable to play was fine b4 the patch now the game runs like crap

im gutted :cry:

[Rogue_Trooper]

the patch you need is on this site too.... :)

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Patch full 1.22 should do it :wink:

[Maggot]

i think the cod2 patch has killed the game the lag is making it almost unbearable to play was fine b4 the patch now the game runs like crap

im gutted

Well, if that becomes the universal feeling we could always abandon pb and go back to pre patch......or isn't that an option?

Alternatively we could put cod1 back on the servers, cause I still think it's the superior game :P

[pup]

im gutted :cry:

i agree, the count down to get in, the lag every minute or so (i think when pb takes a screeny) and the increase in people getting kicked for overflow commands means we are going backwards not forwards in some respects

[Hellfire]

yeah pre patch played a lot better

according to butch from twb you can turn the screenshots off maybe that would help??

[Villan]

You can put a config file for PB in the PB folder

..Call of Duty 2\pb => pbcl.cfg

This is mine, a direct copy of the one from CoD 1. I think Russ first posted about this years ago.

/pb_sleep 500
/pb_SsLog 1
/pb_SsSave 1
/pb_LogToFile 1
/pb_logmd5tool 1

This is the link for CoD1 PunkBuster
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Still waiting (surprise!) for more details of the CoD2 PB.

[r1ncewind]

fuck it! im putting cod1 back on for tonight.
if anyone wants to join me. 8)

tbh mine runs fine on all maps with no lag at all.
i changed these configs though.
/cl_maxpackets 100
/rate 25000
/cl_packetdup 2

[Hellfire]

apparently the admin of the server can stop pb takin screenshots which seems to be when the lag happens

[Falkwing]

I'm well up for a CoD1 night - any change we can resurrect our own CoD1 server? :)

[Wags]

I'd be happy playing COD1 again, if:

1. We played alot of the rather good custom maps
2. We had some nice mods

I must admit I didn't have noticeable problems with PB lag, but I thought some folk had similar issues with COD1 ?

[Maggot]

Playing cod1 would work as an informal knockaround within TR and with people we know and trust.....but probably not outside because like Cod2 pre pb (and frankly even with pb) we'd find ourselves becoming frustrated at people who we think are cheating.

Then again we had issues with cod1 but, and this is key for me, we liked the bloody game. We all liked it when playing it, and it was the promise of something bigger and brighter but still with the same heart that made us all look first to UO, then to Cod2 and more recently to RO. To me the fact that none of these steps up have actually been worth the effort makes me look back on cod1 with possibly rose tinted eyes.

I know that when we tried a single shot of it for an evening a few weeks back it was pretty much a wash out. A number of folks expressed an interest prior to the night, but barely a handful turned up and a number of them felt that it was too rough around the edges when compared to cod2.

But I still think cod1 was a greater game than anything else we've tried so far.

[shifty]

Cheers Rogue,but it seems that I need 1.21 first,..................Ahhhh,now
the patch 1.22 works. :D .

Crap..............now my Plantronics dbs wont work with this game,ooooooh the joys of Bf2,and all the crap fps games,works fine on everything else.
Anyone got the same headset???,that can get it to work with BF2 let me know Plllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeessssseee.

[russellg81]

seems to been a big drop of players since the release of the patch.. :roll:

just read all the BS from [IW]Mystyphy at IWN

((Apart from you trust since you've been banned... lol ))

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Mystyphy]
Bug fixing, especially post-release, is based on severity (the impact to gameplay) and likelihood (the frequency during normal gameplay). When analyzing the bug for a potential fix, the severity and likelihood are measured against the risk caused by changing the associated code/script. At that point, we determine whether we should fix the bug. Many of these bugs pose a greater risk to fix than benefit from their removal.

in other words they could not be bothered... :)

[imported_mrcol]

might have to disagree with you on this one russ, that guy actually talks like he has the inside handle and is posting dates and info not seen be4... It's significant because they have not done that be4 and this fellow does know the ins and outs of it......... most of the other IW stuff is spin, this guy looks the real deal.

Lets see how the editor goes and the new patch the fix the gamestate (which was meant to be in the patch).

I can understand your thinking its another ploy though... they sent so many into the line of fire be4, unarmed and not allowed to defend themselves.

[Benny]

How come you two are up so late ?

[imported_mrcol]

we work for the trains?? lol, they pay us loads to post on forumss!

all true but the paying us part and working for the trains!
