COD:WW 1.6 Patch & New Players!

_FFC_

COD:WW Patch -
As usual, the latest "World at War" 1.6 patch slipped up on us and we had to scramble to get all 1.2GB of it downloaded/installed before we could connect to our NFO server. Sometimes I wish those NFO admins weren't so damn efficient! The patch had only been out a couple hours and they already had our server updated. Ah well....so now we are at version 1.6 with the following details:

Call of Duty: World at War PC Patch 1.6
Submitted: September 18th, 2009
Notes:

• 3 new Multiplayer maps: Battery (mp_drum), Breach (mp_bgate), Revolution (mp_vodka)!
• New Nazi Zombie map: Der Riese (nazi_zombie_factory), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, Teleporters, and many more undead hordes!
• Exploits pertaining to Demo playback.
• Favorites list now ignores filter settings.
• Fixed S&D round counting error when round limit is reached.
• New feature: in-game Add to Favorites.
• Friends list: green online indicator.
• Starting the game in Safe Mode will no longer toggle the “Soften Smoke Edges” graphic option.
• Fixed various crashes.
• Mods: Client will no longer join a modded Co-op server via Game Invite unless they have that mod loaded.
• Mods: Client running a mod will be asked to unload the mod if they attempt to join an unmodded server.
• Mods: All single player levels can now be run with a mod loaded.
  
  

Of course the new MP maps are kinda large unless everyone shows...pretty large even then. Great look'n maps but we'll have to see how the game play fares sometime when we've a full house.

COD4 K3 -
I found a few really good maps for COD4 that are now in the rotation. At least one of them (mp_garena) works perfectly with the K3 mod. The others work but not sure if the ceiling height is workable or just airburst...we'll have to try'em out. The arena one reminds me of the old stadium/arena maps from the "BlackHawk Down" days. Great for snipe'n or general CQB.

New players -
We may have a couple new players soon. Craig (aka Grizz123 on the Zuke Forum, aka "General Screw-Up!" gamertag) should be joining us today or sometime next week. He's a COD 2, 4, & WW vet and familiar with Ventrilo and online MP so should slide in nicely. Hope to cya soon Craig!

The other possible new player is another Tom (aka TFee3 on the Zuke Forum), a SP vet but a MP n00b, so we'll have to give him a hand get'n things going once he gets back from SITS. We'll try not to get him confused with Hock....somehow. lol

That's it for now...hope you new players find your way to our battlefield soon!

Mamba, out
