Tonight we had a packed server on Broadsword....althought several people were getting kicked for some
MD5 tool PB problems and there were alot of high pings the server continued to fill. If anyone has suggestions to help with these issues please post them. I am sure that if we can solve some of these problems alot of players would be happy.

Thanks in advance,

I stopped by for a bit.I had fun and one heck of neat map i must say!

Just like to note the first time I tried to log on,I was kicked for the md 5tool for 20 min.

How ever I remember Steel gave me a utility called the CODmultifixer,the most resent one updated.So I ran the program and Walla no more Md5tool problems..

Thank you Steel!!!

The next time you see me in broadsword ill be on the slopes as opposed to dodging your bullets..LOL

Take care all,

C Yea on the Battlefield:)

I got addicted to the sniper rifle....



I was hardly any help for the "game" going on, I was jsut sniping people. It was fun. There are limitations to distance, which i suppose is good, but Spectre and I were shooting from about 45 miles, and you could see the tracer bullet coming, but it never hit. It was funny... Until friggin OUCH started MAULING all of us with his tank, and apparently you do NOT snipe Shazbot, because he will immediatly runn your rearend over with a tank....



It was great fun though... GREAT team attack map.



Why not flying planes?

Folks the Md5 tool problem has come back to me ,anyone else?Its a shame cause broads word is a neat map and im having fun learning it.Lots of deaths on my part..Lol..Well if anyone has any ideas on resolving these problems that would be great too.Thanks in advance..

Okay guys, I've fixed the md5tool mismatch problem. This has been a cruddy problem ever since punkbuster released their server upgrade 1.51b. It was supposed to be for servers only, but some players also upgraded their coduo with 1.51b instead of 1.51. To make it more messy, the Gold Edition of coduo came with 1.51b preinstalled instead of 1.51.

I didn't think to look for this problem, since {MOB}s been running a coduo server at this IP for a long time. But sure enough, there it was, the punkbuster config was checking for some files that are 1.51 versus 1.51b - specific. That's not a good idea, it's messy for a player to get back to 1.51 if they have 1.51b installed.

Anyway, cheers, you shouldn't have this problem anymore. Anyone who gets pb kicked now should genuinely merit it.

Sorry I didn't look for this sooner.

Many more than Mechanic have the issue! Some people would keep coming back, and keep getting kicked. Frustrating for them, and fixed now, to Steel!

I was playing broadsword briefly this afternoon...the map has a problem in regards to it's spawn points. Both German and Russian players spawn in only one location after the bases are popped off. IMO this is the reason why Smolensk (remember that map?) didn't take off.

Not sure if anything can be done to fix it - but I can't see the map being successful over the long run with a lot of players when spawn raping could be VERY severe.

Thanks, Steel!! That will make many folks very happy. Some have been getting very frustrated with that problem.

The one-hour rounds seem much better. Thanks for fixing that as well.

I was a victim of just such a spawn rape Capt. Canuck. It wasn't fun.

I too was a victim of Canucks rampage on the spawnkill. I tried the map and really didnt care too much for it. I think something between the size of Barb and TF would be best. And more open areas, not a ton of areas for snipers to hide in would be my kind of map.

Hmmmm! Wonder where I've heard all of this before, eh 6pak? lol.
