SetupSwarm

This is a great server guide, but feedback would be sweet so i can improve it. In this tutorial I want to show you how to setup a COD4 server to play online against your friends. It will be a private COD4 Server better known as a cracked server. I just want to play with my friends so i don’t really care about the legal issues involved. Make sure it is legal in your country to run a private server before making one, though the chance you care if you are reading this is about the same chance as you being a transvestite wearing a bunny outfit.

A Heroin Original

Ok Obviously we are going to need a couple of things so get the following stuff downloaded.

• COD4 install files
• COD4 patches
• COD4 serial
• COD4 cracks

Where oh where can you get these files. Bittorent obviously. Use your favorite torrent tracker to get the COD4 iso. Once you  have it mount it using your favorite mounting software. In my case it would be something like this torrent then mounting it with DaemonTools. Then just install that iso like there is no tomorrow. If it asks for a serial explore the contents of the CD which might contain a .nfo file. Open the .nfo with notepad and it will display some information including a serial (most of the time anyway)

Ok so now you need to patch it..  well you dont have too.., but why use something old? So download the patches. I prefer using gamershell.com but there are plenty of sites where u can get the patches. I needed patch 1.6 and 1.7

When those are done downloading and you patched COD4 you should have COD4 installed and the current version. Try to play the game. I dare u. Wont work eh? something about a bitch ass CD or whatever it begs for? Well you are going to need crack my dear sir. Not the smokable kind but the .exe kind. Obviously let me link u.. I would go to http://gamecopyworld.com and go to the COD4 directory. Download the Private Windows Server no wait patch for your COD4 version. In my case i downloaded Call of Duty 4 v1.7 PRIVATE WINDOWS SERVER & NO-WAIT PATCH #1.

When its downloaded extract the iw3mp and place it in your COD4 folder. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the current file. Yah u do so press yah. Ok You could play online on other cracked servers at this point. You can even go ingame and do Create a Server and your friends can join (whether they have a legal game or not).

To create a dedicated server you need to add some parameters (shit) to a shortcut. So make a shortcut of the iw3mp.exe in your COD4 folder place it anywhere u want (desktop probably). Then right click it and select Properties. In the Shortcut Tab you will see a TARGET: field. you have to add the following AFTER the last ” thing.

+set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 0 +map_rotate

Mine looks like this when finished:

“C:\Program Files\Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe” +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 0 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

Now when you run the shortcut it will create a dedicated server!
