COD Server Not Showing Up in Game Browser

[DJX]

I don't know that much about the COD servers except the map rotation, so who ever helps me please take that into consideration.

I have set up a COD server from the game (v. 1.3) and it pops up that consol thing then I copy and past my map rotation, which works fine, and I can almost never find my server in the game browser. It shows up like once in a blue moon! Also, I do have a firewall and I did open the ports, but it still keeps wanting to go outbound to like, a million different IP addresses, I don't want to get hacked, so I block them. If someone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

There's a reason there's a SEARCH button here, try using it!!!

There's a glitch in the activision database causing servers to not be returned at times. Just click refresh several times until you see 3300+ servers.

Our server has been missing from this list for a while. I just spent 10 mins refreshing the list and never seeing more than 1700 servers.

No wonder we are getting less and less players joining us!

I have a firewall and I'd like to know what ports I have to open up to let other people be able to join my server. Also I’d like to know where to put "dedicated 2" in my server config if it goes as follows:

I thought I cured this problem last week by adding more sv_master addresses and for a while our server showed up and got busy.

This week its missing again and getting empty. I hit the refresh list button many times over a 15 minute period and nada. Never gets info from more than about 1600 servers.

Could it be anything to do with the fact that I was running my pc as a local server, using the clan mpconfig at the weekend?

This is the config we have at the moment
