Well with only 26K forum members, FourDeltaOne still only sits at about 1.7% of the population of AIW at the time of its closure (which was 1.5 million unique players). Mind you, many of those AIW players, since registering, did go inactive, stopped playing, etc. But still...not 98% of them. We need to make 4D1 as popular and as famous as its predecessor.

 

YouTube is the best way IMO. YT videos are what MADE Minecraft a phenomenon. User-created demo videos and gameplays brought it into the spotlight and made it the PC (and now 360) gaming icon it is today.

 

Unfortunately, with ACTAvi$ion breathing down our throats about every little nit-picky detail in YouTube videos promoting 4D1...that outlet of advertisement is seriously hindered. What I guess I'm getting at is...we need to be resilient - fight for our right to post gameplay. We need to find away around the legalistic bullcrap...because what lies beyond it is a healthy, rich community, I think.

 

I'm in the process of posting my second video for 4D1, and Activision hasn't bothered to ride my ass about it...yet...I have a feeling there is a way to make this game popular on YouTube. We just need to keep plugging away at it.

People, those who want matchmaking, are clearly here because 4D1's free.

Wrong, i got mw 1 2 and 3 on steam.

 

If you want matchmaking, why are you even playing FourDeltaOne?

 

You're stupid for requesting it.

 

Where the hell did I request matchmaking? I played Aiw because the amount of players and the mods. And I probably will play on 4d1 for the mods and because there will less tryhards ( one man army noobtubers , ump silencer etc).

Then you're one of the less who bought it...

 

And

Providing matchmaking = emulating IWnet's services, illegal.. will lead to the same end as alterIWnet had.

But what if NTA makes his OWN matchmaking. As long as we have enough dedicated servers running, we can make filters that let us connect to a certain kind of map or gamemode. Shouldn't be that hard I hope.

That would be trying to do Activisions job = CnD = No more 4D1.

We did that in AlterIW ourselves, and it was one of the things Activision could hold us liable on.

No Matchmaking.. though, apadayo is good with these mods.. we could ask him to do something (make a quick play button and function like BF3 has).. though, it would be quite hard i guess

And what if I make a program, that runs next to 4D1, that let us filter the servers? They can try to sue me, but alot of laws here in the Netherlands protect me. Also, as soon as they take action against me, I release the source code.

No, even if Apadayo does it and offers a seperate download, he would need to host his own server and stuff, which Activision would eventually find out, and say we have the link to a project directly related to our project which emulates our service.

 

No cigar.

Not illegal, as we don't own the dedicated servers feature, and it ain't Activisions feature. Nopa.

That's just a third party application, and, how do you want to integrate it into the client?

btw, i live in the netherlands too.. so does NTAuthority.

Well, just some server list with filter options. Then when you select a server, and press connect, it will launch "iw4m.exe -connect *ipadress:port*"

Something like that.

Just wondering how to obtain the server list :/

Where the hell did I request matchmaking?

 

I didn't say you requested it, I was saying that why would you want to come play on FourDeltaOne if you want matchmaking, it defeats the purpose of FourDeltaOne.

Lawl, somebody told me he lived in the Netherlands, then the guy who told me it is a liar >

 

But, to the point, no matchmaking.. you could try to make some third party application.. but 4d1 is here for the Dedicated Servers.

To get more people, more people should know it is free!
