i just reinstalled after not playing cod4 for like 6 months. Now there are barley as many servers and most of the servers are like 150+ ping. Is the game not as popular?
talking about SND mode. but all of them are lacking.
 
Ummm...I just checked and there's around 1,500, and that's with not showing full or empty servers, and them all being dedicated.

You need to update. I reinstalled and asked that same question then i looked at the version and it was like 1.00. You need to get the 1->6 and then the 6->7 and you'll be golden.
 
Yep, that happened to me to once. In any case, I only play on the Dallas one for the most part.
 
The thing I loved about cod4 on pc was being able to filter thru the servers.It made the game alot better to play online
 
Update to 1.7, there's virtually no servers left on the vanilla version, but plenty on the latest patch.

I play SnD on the raov server, they ban 3x frag & tube, overall a good server IMO.
 
I'm not a fan of the COD4 default server browser either. When I was playing COD4 I used xfire, and got a lot more servers to show up. You can also narrow it down to only show servers from a certain version, and all kinds of other filters.

I still hate xfire and think its a bloated piece of shit, but it works better than the default browser.
 
Definitely update I have a rotation I play on of about ten servers, and all of them have more than 20 people and ping lower than 70, and they're just the ones that have rules I like, no martyr, or last stand.

Is there any real alternative to using it? I know you can use a Pidgin plugin to communicate over xfire but Pidgin can't do DirectX overlays..
 
i am on 1.7 but sopposedly they are seeing 4000 servers but i bareley see any on the screen.

edit running 1.7.568

i used to play on BAH get to the chopper server.

EDIT 2 i actually found the server on gametracker.com my ping in the game is 60 so i dont know why the damn cod4 browser doesnt see any games.

I forget what COD4 MP screen looks like but do you have something typed in the search parameters that may be throwing off your results?

I haven't found an alternative.

Remember gamespy? The original one. The one with no extras, just a straight up server browser. That was the best, I want a modern version of that.

Either that, or I wish steam would integrate the games it offers into it's server browser... that would be neato.
 
For some reason I now feel like playing CoD4 all over again. :cool: Forgot how fun it was to play online.
 
I still see tons of servers. I went to play free-for-all yesterday and found only a handful of free-for-all servers. With that said, if you are looking for Team Deathmatch or other game types you shouldn't have any trouble finding a server.
 
I had a problem with no servers showing up either all of a sudden. I fixed it by adding the ports to virtual server in my router. Once I did that back up to the normal thousands of servers.
 
CoD4 has dropped off though. Around last fall many clans near me (Chicago) started taking down their servers... some went to WaW, some just abandoned CoD since its a magnet for hackers. I was an admin... I should know. The amount of people running chams and aiming radars is excessive, and Activision's use of Punkbuster to control this is lacking, and IMO is just a scam to make more money. There is no reason Activision couldnt run code that would prevent hacks in the first place... but see, they WANT people to use hacks, and get caught by a 3rd party (so nobody can hold them accountable for a refund), and then have to buy a new CD key. I wouldnt doubt if they feed the hackers the code to make it all possible.

Thats what kills CoD for me.

Write the code to prevent them that's impossible to disable.
