A quick note about CoD4 server list order in 1.6

Post by Edge100x »

This information is important for CoD4 server owners but potentially not quite so important that it deserves to be posted on the main page.

In version 1.6, it appears that the game client no longer decides the list order for the in-game browser based on when it receives a server's information from the master server. Instead, CoD4 1.6 appears to receive the entire list and then bases the querying order of the servers on their IPs and a random number that is selected when the game is started.

This means that we no longer recommend changing a server's port from the default, as this no longer changes when a server is displayed to the client. At this time, for version 1.6 we know of no way to influence when a server is displayed.
