General

 

Will IW4M allow pirated game copies?

Since there is no checking mechanism, the answer is yes, but we are not responsible for your illegal acts, nor do we recommend you to do so.

 

What does it support?

Everything that was in aIW's IW4M2 (such as mod support, dedicated servers, custom textures).

However, since Activision will not allow us emulating their service, IW4M only supports dedicated servers, and not matchmaking.

 

Is the source code public?

Client-side source is public, including the code for dedicated servers. The master-server source, along with the anti cheat source (aCI), however, will not be available.

 

Can I transfer my stats/rank hack?

Old stats from alterIWnet will be imported automatically on the first start; any other stat files can be imported using EAM, which can be found in any number of places.

 

Can I play if I'm VAC banned on Steam?

Yes, as we cannot verify which game you were banned from, this status is irrelevant. If you want to be better safe than sorry, make a copy of your Modern Warfare 2 folder from steamapps, and put the IW4M files into the new folder.

 

Do I have to have the DLC on Steam to play the DLC maps on IW4M?

No, as we cannot verify that you do or do not have the DLC on Steam, you will not be incurred any limitations on the client.

 

Is there any anti-cheat?

There is a functional anti cheat that is constantly being updated. Cheat reports are not allowed, nor needed.

Error during initialization: Could not authenticate to NP server at iw4.prod.fourdeltaone.net -- bad details.

That usually means that the master server is down, please try again in a few minutes.

 

Couldn't load image 'preview_mp_***'.

You are missing the DLC packs/related IWD files for Modern Warfare 2. Update your game on Steam, or download iw_22.iwd and iw_23.iwd and put them in the 'main' subdirectory in your MW2 directory.

 

The client is updated, but when I play I have no ammo.

That means the server on the one you are playing is not up to date. Play on another server or ask the server admin (politely) to update.

 

Weapon index mismatch for 'destructible_car'.

That means the server on the one you are playing is not up to date. Play on another server or ask the server admin (politely) to update.

 

How to login with a different account

Delete iw4m.ini from your game folder.

DAM I DINt have it on steam D: i have disk

hi,

 

Activision itself said that the aIW client with the server-browser was okay for them so why don't we just make exactly the same thing just without AlterOps and AlterMW3?

 

I Won't buy MW2 a second time (i sell'd my steam ACC with MW2 and Black Ops because i could play a better version of it on aIW) so it seems that i must say goodbye to CoD if you make it like you said :cry:

The reason we all played AIW in the first place was because it DIDN'T use $team, just saying

All copies of MW2 have to be activated on Steam.

No, I think the reason you played aIW is because it had dedicated servers, which was the whole point of the project.

I fuckin rock

 

User warned - Try to keep your comments on-topic.

I think this is fine. But make dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 3 (for Steam of course) will be rock. Becouse, now all the people is playing MW3. Just Saying

Anyway, thanks NTA for make a better PC Community, because companies like EA or AV doesn't care that.

Mw3 already have dedicated servers, you just have to enable server browser in settings.... :!:

i got banned for cheating on steam (yeah, i know, lame) and cant figure out if i will be able to play on the new project you guys are developing. but still i will never ever pay money for a CoD game so tough luck for me, i guess if this will not be available for banned users like myself.

NO, I played because it had offline LAN on NO $team. Just remember that $team destroyed the PC version of COD in the first place.

That makes zero sense... Unless you had a compiled iwnetserver.exe, you still needed an internet connection in order to play aIW. Also, Valve had nothing to do with how Call of Duty functioned on PC...

Really? do you know how much of a pain in the ass it was to install the game over $team? it downloaded pointless updates and the game only had matchmaking(which was bullshit) and one of the best features, LAN was removed from COD. In other words Activision got greedy when they started using Valve'$ $team and looked at it as an opportunity to fuck over the PC community who made IW famous, remember how the PC version would always get better stuff than the consoles? yeah, well know it's reversed thanx to that piece of crap $team. I haven't seen a collector's edition of COD for the PC in years.

"do you know how much of a pain in the ass it was to install the game over $team? it downloaded pointless updates" - That must have been a different game then... I havn't had any problems with Steam / MW2 and updates downloading.

 

and the game only had matchmaking ... the PC in years.

I'm pretty sure that would've happened regardless of Steam... Yes, MW2 support wasn't fantastic, but it's not because of Steam.

You obviously didn't install the game the day it came out, it was disappointing. All we wanted to do was play COD just like the old times but it would take more than a day to download the updates regardless of internet speed because the $team servers were "too busy" and there was no longer any proper LAN capabilities.

You think I havn't tried that? I couldn't find anything that even mentioned it, so that's why I'm asking you where you got the info from.

Also, what's a Steam dog?

it's a person that licks Valve's ass for their piece of shit code known as $team, which is apparently awesome but can be proven wrong by REAL PC gamers.

"Can be proven wrong"

"WRONG, Infinity Ward had plans for MW2 but then Activision was manipulated by Valve"

 

This is just you saying words. Can be proven? Show me the proof. Activision was manipulated by Valve? Give me a source. Most people that say Steam is shit do so because it's harder for them to play games on cracked servers or whatnot, so - if you have an actual legitimate, valid and provable reason: By all means, show me.

I've had the same problems with MW3, before $team I used to buy games because I could just install it and play but know that's different. Lucasarts on the other hand loves their PC community, we can buy games and just play them without the need of downloading half the game. If Lucasarts were the publisher of COD then things would be a lot different (eg. AIW wouldn't exist and you and I wouldn't be having this arguement)

Just because IW lied and acted like they gave a shit did not mean that they actually had plans for MW2 ...

 

They also hinted pre-release that it was going to support dedicated servers to get pre-orders up then said fuck you pc community ...

 

I do not believe that Valve/Steam had anything to do with the downfall of this game other than its piece of crap VAC and most of the fault in that not working correctly falls in the developers hands not Valves.

 

I hate steam but I use it to play over 75 different games as it does make it more convenient and is a requirement for most and only mw2/mw3 have I seen the massive VAC issues that we have had.

$team is a good idea for playing games online but if that means removing LAN and prohibiting the user from playing offline then Valve can go to hell. do you deny that if Valve didn't exist that COD would still be as awesome as ever(eg. COD4)?
