Just got the email from Ryan on why he doesn't publish a release date and when he expects to release CoD4 Linux Binaries...


Porting is an inexact science.

Anyone that's watched one of those house-flipping shows on HGTV can tell you that if you ask someone to build you a building can say "it will take X time" but if you ask them to rework an existing structure...some times you find termites, or asbestos, etc, and the original time estimate becomes something between overly-optimistic and pure fantasy.

So it goes.

We have the server running on Linux now. It will be released soon (a few days, at most, I hope). Just need to get the greenlight to put it out there and we're good to go.

Even if they're client-side only?

Oh right, because 1.2 isn't, but 1.1 was?

No one here at FPSAdmin is working on the port of CoD4 to Linux. I subscribe to Ryan Gordan's mailing list ( the person that is doing the port and has done work on several other titles ).

If you'd like to subscribe to the mailing list, send a blank email to cod-subscribe@icculus.org

I can tell you that as soon as status is given via the mailing list I publish on FPSAdmin asap so just watch the front page.

As far as we know right now the port is finished and is in testing. I suspect the testing was delayed a bit because of the holiday here in the USA.
