How to Play on Modded Servers, Custom Maps in Call of Duty 4

The excellent modding community for PC games is one of the things that separates them from consoles players. Sadly many players are not aware of modded servers and the custom maps available for Call of Duty 4 PC players. For those unaware modded maps and gametypes are simply changes and upgrades made to the game by average people who love the game. There are mods for just about anything you could want, from drivable vehicles to entirely new maps to totally new weapons. So how do we get access to these mods and open Call of Duty 4 to a whole new realm of possibilities?

Playing on modded servers is simple. First go to the list of online multiplayer Call of Duty 4 servers like you would if you were joining an other game. Then click the “Filter” option from the menu at the top of the screen. This will bring up a menu allowing you to sort servers by different specifications; click the button that says “Mods” and change it to “Yes” or “All”. Then refresh the server list and a bunch of modded servers will pop up, choose a populated one and join the game.

You will then be prompted with a download screen which will automatically download the necessary information that allows you to play the game. Depending on your connection speed and the speed of the server on the other end this can take anywhere from minutes to hours to happen. After the download is finish Call of Duty will restart and automatically join the modded game. That’s all you need to do, you can now frag like you would on any other game!
