ok... just bought the game over steam, downloading now. hope to see u guys ingame soon

I'm playing on Steam, so it's hassle-free update for me.

btw, what is the IGN nick you guys talking about huh? I know x-fire, it is something like the Steam community in game overlay where u know what your buddy is playing.

holy shi-, I thought it has anything to do with the IGN.com!

btw, I dun have xfire, and my IGN is VicTor.

Nice to meet you guys.

for me, after double-clicking on the multiplayer icon, the splash screen will stay for some time before it enters the game, compared to the single player icon, where the splash screen will just stay for couple seconds.

I'm using Steam version

I saw the same solution from some forum as well. But is there any network savvy guy here that can tell me why the "auto obtain DNS setting" will cause the delay? This is because I don't like to hardcode any configuration into my system, unless it is absolutely necessary.

FYI, for Streamyx,

Primary DNS = 202.188.0.133
Second DNS = 202.188.1.5

ok... regarding the BolehVPN server, I have got quite a few times "connection problem". Some of the other player in the server also experience same problem at the same time, judging from their in-game chat message. Usually it will go away after 10 seconds or so.

What happened actually?

ok.... I think I have figured out why the long wait during the Multiplayer splash screen when you launch the game. In a nutshell, only people who uses router will have this problem. Anyone who use dialer to connect to Streamyx will not have this problem.

It is caused by the "DNS Relay" function of the router. So the solution is either you configure your network interface to use specific DNS server instead of using the one from your router DHCP, or you can configure your router DHCP to return the DNS server IP of Streamyx. Both methods will skip your router as the "DNS Relay", so that your network interface will connect directly to the Streamyx DNS.

I use the second method, and it works.

buy online through Steam.

are u a sniper? u have lots of headshots yet none assist.

I can play in Fragnetics and GamingSA server, so are those servers PunkBuster enabled?

for the multiplayer splash taking too long, refer to my earlier post above.

hey ori guys, lets start populating the second server!

Hi, I bought through Steam too, when they are having store wide sales during year end 2007. Paid USD44.99, and accoring to my credit card statement, around RM152

buying through Steam have 3 advantages....

1. you dont need that freaking DVD to play the game!
2. you dont need to worry anything about CDKEY, just remember you steam username/password
3. automatic updates of patches.

true...patches for TF2 comes like every alternate days.... sien. Usually for every major patch of TF2, there will be a minor patch after couple days to fix issues introduced by the major patch... haha

anyway, really hands up and a big thank you to the guys from BolehVPN for providing the Malaysian COD4 server.

hey guys, I found that using the second shotgun (the one with higher firing rate) when weaving through those containers in "Wet Work" is extremely satisfying. Just throw in a stun grenade, and rush in to kill few enemies within seconds. One shot kill FTW!

just finish the single player mode... haha... all mission in Hardened.

you get killed if you are near the window/door, you will get killed too if the building has opening at the roof above you.

get it from Steam.
