COD4 Console Commands

Posted date: January 01, 2011 In: Featured, Misc, Strategy | comment : 68

(If you are trying to increase your frames per second in Call of Duty 4 check out this post: How To Increase Your FPS in COD4

COD4 Console Commands are a great tool to improve your Call of Duty experience. To open the console simply press the ~ key which is located directly below the escape key. I see a lot of people online trying to type commands into chat, this doesn’t work, you need to open the console. Then you can type in the commands, note they all begin with the key, located directly above the Enter key.

Lets take a look at some of the more useful and commonly used COD4 Console Commands.

cg_drawFPS 1

Displays your FPS (Frames Per Second) in the upper right hand corner. The higher your FPS the smoother the game runs, the lower your FPS the choppier the game runs.

cg_drawFPS 0

Turns off the FPS display in the upper right hand corner. Note that that 0 turns off any command while 1 turns it on.

cg_drawlagometer 1

Creates a graph in the lower left hand corner of your screen. For the top meter in the graph you want it to be mostly blue. Blue means you are refreshing in sync with the server and everything is going good. Yellow is bad, it means you are out of sync with the server. Don’t panic if you have a little bit of yellow, but you still want most of it to be blue. For the bottom meter you want it to be green. Green means your packet transfer is smooth, red and yellow are bad and means your data transfer is flaky.

cg_FOV 80

This changes your visible field of view from 65 degrees to 80 degrees. It essentially moves you back so you can see a wider area. The drawback is that everything then appears smaller. I don’t know if it is better to have a larger FOV, I think it is mostly based on personal preference.

All COD4 console commands:

Points of interest
=============
com_maxfps “125″
cl_packetdup “2″
cl_maxpackets “63″
rate “25000″
snaps “30″
cg_drawFPS “Simple”
cg_drawFPSLabels “1″
cg_drawLagometer “1″

Commands
/serverinfo – This command shows the server settings and configurations.
/map

– This will load the given map.
/map_rotate – This will load the next map of the rotation. This is set in the ‘sv_maprotation’ file on your server.
/map_restart – This will restart the current map.
/fast_restart – This will restart the current map just like /map_restart but is much faster as it will not load the map again. It will just restart the map.
/status – This shows information about the connected players. This includes the client ID, score, ping, GUID, name and IP address. The ID and name can be used for the following commands.
/tell [player id] – This will display a message to a specific player. The ID is given with the /status command.
/clientkick [player id] – This will kick a player according to its ID (given with the /status command).
/kick [player name] – This will do the same as the /clientkick command, but this command requires the player’s name. However, some names are very difficult to enter (with colour codes etc.), thats why the /clientkick commands is easier in use. You can use ‘all’ as player name, this will kick all players from the server.
/onlykick [player name] – Does the same as /kick as far as I know.
/banClient [player id] – This command will ban a player according to its ID. The player’s GUID will be added to ban.txt.
/banUser [player name] – This command does the same as the /banclient command. However, this requires you to fill in the player’s name, it is therefore advised to use the /banclient command (names can be long or contain colour codes).
/tempBanClient [player id] – This will temporary ban a player using the player’s ID. The length of a temporary ban can be changed in the server configuration file.
/tempBanUser [player name] – This will temporary ban a player using the player’s name.
/unbanUser [player name] – This will unban a user according to the player’s name. If the player’s name appears more than once in ban.txt, you can edit the file and remove the banned player manually.
/dumpuser [player name] – This will give information about the player.
/killserver – As the name says, it will shut your server down.

RCON usage
It is very likely that you are not playing at the same location (IP address) as your server is. Thats where we use RCON (= remote control) commands for. Using RCON is very easy, just add ‘/rcon ‘ in front of the commands above (removing the ‘/’ of those commands). But before you can use RCON, you will have to login:
/rcon login [password] – Fill in the password of the server and you can use RCON commands.

Examples of RCON commands:
/rcon map mp_pipeline
/rcon status
/rcon banclient 5

More (useless) commands
/serverstatus – This will give you information about the server settings and a quick list of online players.
/serverinfo – This will give you some diversified about IW settings on your server and some useless information.
/systeminfo – This will give you a list of the settings your server has.
/clientinfo – This will give you information about the yourself as client.
/showip – This will provide your IP address.
/cmdlist – This will show a complete list of commands available.
