Online stats

[rudedog]

I have not been keeping track of the online stats as closely as I should. I've also not been around much last week with some PC issues and being away for the Easter holiday.
Checking Gamespy today I noticed that CoD2 is at number 8? Don't know if this is a fluke but I will be keeping an eye on that and posting a follow up over the next couple days.

I have over 6000 servers showing in my ingame browser.

2:44 PM EST Today

7005 Servers

Ingame browser set to "all" and pressed the refresh button several times to get the MAX servers polled.

Of the 7005 servers polled only about 1/4 had any players in them, the least was 1 player to 57 players.

So 3/4 was EMPTY. Yes, about 3/4 of them was sitting there EMPTY ......

What a waste......

Don't be fooled by the number of servers in the in-game browser. When you update the list, the master server returns all previous CoD versions in that list. The game sorts these out by the protocol number specified by the game you're in.

That is if the master server even returns all servers, it's very inconsistent. It's been buggy since the release of CoD1 back in 2003.

Gamespy's numbers are much closer to what the actual numbers are.

I know it has been crap since vcod.
But do you really think gamespy stats changed from over 5000 server to 1500 overnight and there is nothing wrong.

Either Gamespy reported the number of server wrong the whole time or the new patch screw it all up.

This is what i get with www.Game-monitor.com for COD2 server

Results: pages 1-40 of 8105 Server

at 6:54 PM on sunday gamespy/stats only show

7. Call of Duty 3271 servers, 5615 players
9. Call of Duty 2 1312 servers, 3811 players

http://stats.callofduty.com show (all cod combined)
Total Servers: 10888 Total players: 16293

Something is messed up. I normaly go with gamespye stats but this is weird.

I have a program capturing gamespy.com/stats each night at 7PM. I will keep an eye on it to see where it goes.

Wonder why huh......................

I find it pretty funny. Just goes to show what bad management can do.

How about..... people are tired of waiting and waiting for the garbage to be fixed and finally just threw the garbage out???

This is the end of April and we are still waiting!

No real fix by this Friday..... you watch what's gonna go on. Infinity Ward will be hollering "Mayday" on May 1.


CoD2 is a RIP-OFF plain and simple: AN ARROGANT RIP-OFF!


The recent 1.2 patch was the final, mercifull headshot.

Yeah something is up at Gamespy. I can pull more servers than that from the master. Although the master servers are still f'ed up, they never return a consistent server amount.

If you get a chance to have any kind of dialect with Kuhn, tell him to fix the master server returning a consistent list.
