I think the whole thing is pretty impressive, but except nuketown and shipment, will there be a lot of servers running those new maps? Have you already seen how many servers run the sp maps? 1-10 of about 2000 or so! I love to port new maps, but if noone plays them this might be waste of time! Anyways, good job

 

Well these maps are stock quality maps not ported maps, so I guess it'll have better succes than a SP port...

Most people just use the MP Rip's, and then people don't join empty servers, sadly :\

This is probably why we require a 'New Store' inside the IW4M client.

momo is right, let's hope that people will play these new maps...

+1. We need a 'New Store' in iw4m

What we need is for people to install the full game, rather than cutting off files to ask for them later.

There's a growing number of servers who run ported maps, to have something new to offer to the players. And those who don't have those map files, stays out of the fun.

But will anyone actually download a full-game again, even though they already have files that can run the game, just without some maps the general community doesn't know about? No, what we need to do is directly advertise these maps in the client as DLC through something 'like' the New Store which was present in IW5M. A lot of servers now run IW5M DLC maps, due to the fact they know the majority of players will have them... because of the New Store.

I think it's cause server admins don't even know that there are new maps.

Nice improvement

This -> viewtopic.php?f=17&t=20658#p168996 is how you get players to get the missing map files.

They don't even take the time to read news in the forums.

1) If it were to ever get released into the client, players probably wouldn't know about it due to them having lack of knowledge about recent updates.

 

2) As the example showed, most players still wouldn't know where to find the SP fastfiles.

 

That example also showed that most people have an MP-RIP, and a 'New Store' would easily appeal to them as they would think 'NEW DLC DOWNLOAD NOW', and they would download it.

If we had matchmaking people would know about these new maps and we could have mores servers with them...

Just make check files mechanism, and if client not full, it will show table that contains text with files download links.

You mean inclunding the map files in future update or maybe having a store button just like in IW5M...

Wouldn't that be illegal?

Dunno, but iw5m didn't have any problems with the 'New Store'

Not if we just make a big thing on the main menu that says "NEW MAPS!!!!" and links to an announcement that gives them a "hint" on how to get the maps.

Also I don't think Activision is really worried about us at the moment, as NTA isn't messing with their newest game I think it's okay...

I mean when login, mechanism check content of zone forlder, and if it not contains all maps, it will display: for full experience please download maps and give download link, or add new store, with green light 'New' like on steam mw2 when dlc avalible.

Also I don't think a large gaming conglomerate is really worried about us at the moment, as NTA isn't messing with their newest game I think it's okay...

CODOL is newer than COD BO2

CODOL is newer than a popular FPS series BO2

 

Well but nta's work is focused on MW2 not CODOL even if he's using CODOL maps...

It shouldn't be an issue distributing the fastfiles from codol as its a free to play game in the first place.
