Playing CoD4

Hey yall!

So with my new lap top, I installed CoD4, because I already had the game. I got the game running good, and even played one.

But a couple of things.

When I go to set my profile name, I cannot add brackets for the [CC] tag. How do yall overcome this?
Also, I do not see the [CC] 24/7 Broadcast server on the server list. Why is that? Do I need a patch?

Your profile name is just to differentiate your profiles, similar to save files in other games. In Multiplayer Options you should find a username you can add brackets to, which is the name other players will see in multiplayer servers. You do need a patch, but I don't remember how that works.

Thanks Oval, fixed the name thing. Now I just need to figure out which patch I need to get.

Okay so I got patch 1.6, and then got 1.7. The game says at the bottom right hand corner that I'm on 1.7, but when I go to game lobby, I believe that it is showing 1.6 servers. Still am not seeing Broadcast on my lobby, and Bert! says that CC Broadcast (Broadcast) is on 1.7. The servers in my visible lobby I cannot join because they say they are the 1.6 version.

How do I change my lobby to 1.7? I checked Options, but nothing appeared to be what I needed.

Hmm...it shows the correct version at the bottom, but there should be a lot more servers. I've never had this problem before. Try a restart or reinstall of the patch. enable console (its in the options somewhere) hit tilde~ to drop console and type /connect 208.167.246.145:28960 if that doesn't take you strait to our CC server then you might be right that it's still 1.6

CoD 4 (according to internet searches) has a lobby refresh issue especially with the Steam version. Perhaps try this?
Server list filters
Open up the Filter Servers list and play around with some of the different settings. Namely, try changing 'Hardcore' to none, 'Friendly Fire' to none etc. Click Ok and then click Refresh List. If servers do not start showing, change the Game Mode from All to Team Deathmatch, Free for All, etc. Just play around with everything and something should show up. Once servers do appear you can reset the filters to the default settings.

I think it means you need to update your PB folder with the one on the PBBans forums via the link I sent you yesterday shiNe.
