Greetings fellow Dakrats. Just writing to announce that the COD2 server is running well and should be ready to run this Saturday. Actually two servers. One of them being the norm, and the other will be a "slightly" modded version. Don't worry it's suppose to be a server side mod. So there's no need in trashing up your copy (ehemmm) of COD2. But just so you know the mod is only 1 MB. lol (so small but so much stuff!) Uhh he said modded. What's did Rayford change this time??

Don't worry it's nothing extreme. I found some maps yes...but I found a couple of new game types. Everyone likes capture the flag right? Well how's this. "Team & Individual Hold the Flag" The objective is simple. Whoever gets to the flag first controls it. But instead of returning it a base, you run around and hold it as long as you can until the point limit has been reached. This also works on a team bases. HOWEVER there’s now a catch for holding a flag (no matter what flag game we play) you won't be able to use the new Sprint feature of the mod.

Yes some of you asked me about sprinting in this game...well guess what I found a way to add it in. It can be adjusted to make things a little fair when in deathmatch. I know how annoying it can be to switch to a pistol just to run a tad bit faster.

In addition to the sprint feature I also would like to introduce tripwires to the game. BUT WHY???? Well think about it. When playing search and destroy, you have to defuse the explosives, too easy right especially when people are dead. So think about this. We add some pressure to it. You've got 45 seconds before that bomb goes off. Not only do you have to defuse them, but you have get past the tripwires. Defusing them (is adjustable as well, but for default we'll keep 8 seconds). I think it adds a whole new level to search and destroy. That and it should keep Doc a little busier this time.

I know this is getting long, but bear with me. It keeps me from having to explain it 20 times over when Saturday comes. There's another new game type called retrieval. It's like CTF, but somewhat on a strict offense defense level. As a German your artillery plans were stolen by those crafty americanas. Your job is to locate those plans and get them back and return them to the specified location. But it won't be easy.

I've also got Last man standing as well as last team standing. I'll post instructions for this mod later. I'm still doing more testing. But I can say this...this is going to be way more fun than the last time we played COD2. Until then...everyone better brush up on COD this week.
