COD4 Server

[matrix4583]

How do you create COD 4 server modern warfare?

[Todd Holley]

Put the files in your gameinstalls folder and then use the config posted by ECF in another thread? To get the game files you need to buy the game and upload them.

Who do you get your tampa servers from?

The basic server comes with a 2.0ghz processor, 512k ram and a 40gb drive.

 

I am confused on this one.

 

2 Ghz Celeron? Pentium? Conroe? Pentium D? Woodcrest?

 

RAM = DDR? DDR2?

 

HDD = IDE? SATA?

 

Not very informative IMO.

I am in the process of getting a machine from them. The staff is very helpful and they are very flexible as far as pricing and such. Seems like a fine company to me and pings very well for most of my people on the east coast.

But they have an unusual method of setting up their servers with the limited admin access permissions for their ranked games. I am not sure if I would like that. But I have only heard basically good things from people who have used them. Are you able to run TCA on them? If I am not mistaken, they use serverdoc to run the ranked games or any others you ask them to install for you.

Who?

[DougK94]

I give up tonite....not enough sleep....thought he said hypernia....

[Todd Holley]

Lol, no... hivelocity. Dedicated server host + colocation.

[JasonF]

I believe Hypernia uses Firedeamon

[DougK94]

See what I mean for tonite?...that is what I meant, but my fingers typed something different..... I was going to say that was my 3rd strike for tonite......

Dont use HIV for game servers, message me off list for more info, but trust someone in the dedicated server industry on this one.

Who do you recommend for Tampa then?

[Daersun]

Honestly I would go Georgia over Florida any day of the week. I have heard good things about colo4jax down there, however their website looks like crap. I am not sure the type of bandwidth they offer.

 

Honestly I would look at georgia, lower power costs better connectivity. Atlanta is now the nations 3rd largest hub for IP traffic.

 

I can DEFIANTLY answer any questions on ANY datacenter here

HiVelocity is excellent for their target market - high availability low quality bandwidth. Such a service is normally meant for high volume websites/file distro, etc.

 

For anyone who is interested, HiVelocity uses Cogent and GlobalCrossing for their connectivity. Like Jordan said, neither are good for latency sensitive application.

i bought my shell from http://www.tigerdirect.com and host at tampa(hiv)

 

now i have the game and how do i setup it up or do i put the whole file into zip?

i agree with you on that one. their bandwtidh sucks and latency also.

Matrix,

this server will be in my area(FL) and in the future, i'll have to go with chacago server for the new server i'm getting, but it is built.

[jbiloh]

Gotcha, well keep ColoCrossing.com in mind when you're ready.

[matrix4583]
