Call of Duty ,Irish servers empty 24/7 :(

Dcully

judging by posts here in recent weeks i imagine we have a lot of Call of Duty players here.
The 2 Irish servers i know are always empty.
Is this because they are running team deathmatch?
I know the most popular modes are the new Headquarters mode and Search and Destroy.
Added to this many servers run the PRM realism mod which is hugely popular.
Its just a thought for whoever runs these servers.
Do Komplett run them?
Its a shame as i know of many Irish players including myself who play on foreign servers as TDM does not seem to be a popular mode.

I play TDM all the time...what are the names/IPs of these servers?

BKtje

Its run by Ronin on these boards.

There is a UK server frequented by a lot of irish people ( irish clans server).

It runs HQ, S&D and TDM in some random order. It also uses some of the features of the prm mod.

217.158.176.26:28960 is the ip. Stop by and say hi

Hi Tuxx,i must disagree with you there.
We have a large online gaming community at below link.
I admin the servers there and i can personally say that we get a huge volume of Irish gamers on the servers.
My DOD clan is hosted by jarhedz [we getting new improved server soon ].
You will be pleasantly surprised if you head over and say hello to us.

Our clan channel can be found in IRC quakenet #radox and jarhedz on #jarhedz

Well i gotta admit that the irish scene isnt as vibrant in the games that i play as it was in days gone by. (UT but thats fairly old now and CoD).

However there are a lot of Irish people playing CoD. The reason that a lot of people play over in the Uk now is that the connections between UK and Ireland have improved dramitically. Most Irish people(with ISDN+) ping similarly to UK servers as they do to irish and more often than not have equal ping times to UK people. Thus as there is a larger scene in England people decide to play games on UK servers to get a larger mix of people playing on the publics. (ie u wont get many central and northern european people playing on irish servers but they will play on UK servers.)

I kinda expect this to continue until the Irish community's become really large. Of course there are exceptions.

PRM mod isnt popular. At All!!!!1

Tbh i dont know all that much about the Cod scene but Prm is popular enough (or at least parts of it) as there are a fair few clans in the league that we play in. That said i can imagine that none Prm is more popular as its more simplistic which attracts more youngsters (similar to the simplistic fashion of cs and its popularity).
The above is not fact, it is my opinion.

n1ck

Yeah i agree with you saying it is reasonably popular, it would be more popular if they removed the bugs etc, and the amount of clans who play normal cod without any mods is alot more and then you have the CPL which just plays the regular cod.

The server Runs PRM by the way so many of you peps who play on normal server's may find it a bit strange @ 1st, However you're all welcome to come and play if you want as BK said you'll usuall find some of the clan there


dats me -<{1st-IB}>-Dragula

When i say every body i mean to exclude N1ck as he had to be banned.

sorry n1ck

D.

RobertFoster

I can't seem to add it to my favourites. it never turns up on the server list and when I try to add it to the favourites manually I can't paste it or type it in...

n1ck

Well im afraid to say im not banned dragula, because ive played on there a few times this week.

Strange n1ck i havent seen ure name on the stats dats all,

I have played on the Irish COD servers once or twice with people from other countries. It's a shame that more people don't use them. If the administrator's would rotate the map type to something other than team deathmatch then maybe more people would play on them!

By the by, the next patch for COD, 1.3 is released this week with two new maps and other refinements but no punkbuster added. They say the are adding it in a separate update.

I have about 20 fake names i use.

Dr4gul4

Though as much, it's a shame you have to resort to using Fake names N1ck, however we can resolve this by an ip ban

n1ck

Ah, funny thing is half your clan dont know or mind me playing there, just cause your a cock you dont like me playing there.

Dr4gul4

no need for abouse now n1ck, i think you will find that it's the CLAN's decision to ban people from the server, and if i believe somebody is cheating i can have them banned, however you have been banned and you know why i believe you're previous post explains why you will be banned


D.

n1ck

lol? if u believe someone cheats? You accusing me of cheating now? Well apparently ive been banned from 2 leagues for cheating so you aint the first.

It's hard to call jarhedz "irish" these days..

Rev Hellfire

If you want changes done to the servers then give me a list of what u want and I'll make the required changes.

although I think you'll lose one those servers soon to make way for more popular games.

Dcully

Mostly Irish members, regulars,clans and servers are in Ireland.
How more Irish do you want?

Dcully

Hi hellfire,i think the headquarters mode is a crowd puller these days.
Maybe an idea?

Shamrocks!

Agreed - Headquarters mode is good fun; and "Heat of Battle" mod is very good, very like Day of Defeat; small mod size (for now) too - 35Mb

Dcully

Yes Heat of battle is indeed very DOD like and is superb.
