Normal multiplayer

[Vexeler]

Hi,
I played the WaW multiplayer a few years ago outside of steam. What does standard multi look like now? Are there any servers? Lots of people playing?

[jose_velez13]

non existent but you can download multiplayer bots and its the same, but better yo

[Vexeler]

Really? There are no players vs players servers? Or community servers?

[General ♥♥♥♥ Yeah Anime Titties]

[Vexeler]

Damn, I remember when this game had full servers including fast rank ... it was fun ... and now ... well ... sad

[Thanuz]

Since you're EU don't worry OP

This game isn't dead by any means.
This is the server list at the minute.

1. CODWW OuT*Tact Tac Crouch Ranked 39/40
3. CODWW PDG}#1 MULTIPLAYER+ |No HC|pdelite.org 25/46
8. CODWW MAGNUM 24/27
2. CODWW PDG}#2 MULTIPLAYER+ |No HC|USA|pdelite.org 21/46
14. CODWW SU TEAM CCCP 18/34
4. CODWW [4P] 24/7 FFA BATTERY CRACKED highLevel___IW4PLAY.DE 15/32
17. CODWW Old Gits Having Fun HC TDM [B3] 14/48

Different servers come alive depending time in UK & US.
Example (These are hella fun, best servers. Only active when US come online i believe)
29. CODWW >XI< Vietnam FreezeTag 0/29
10. CODWW >XI< OW FreezeTag 0/29

Google "Cod world at war gametracker" and you will see how active servers are.

online modes are still alive in 2021, but the community isn't as big as it used to be. btw, in case you've played WaW on consoles in the past, I must say multiplayer on PC is played in dedicated servers where admins may customize the match settings, and manually kick/ban if somebody violates a rule (or cheating). certain customized rulesets could indeed be tedious for some players, especially those who prefer vanilla gameplay without any weird restrictions. some examples to such server rules are; crouch-only, no camping, no martrydom, no rifle grenades, tank maps only etc.

I'd say there are ~ 15 populated servers and ~ 150 players total in multiplayer modes at any time. numbers may go up/down depending on hours of day, or if it's weekend/holiday etc. servers are usually hosting team deathmatch and sometimes free-for-all; so rest of the game modes are often dead (except zombies which is by far the most populated part of WaW). cheaters are actually rare, and it's possible to enjoy fair games, especially in servers where admins patrol frequently. most servers are located either in north america or europe, so if you wish to play WaW mainly as multiplayer, you can just avoid buying if you live in regions like oceania or south america where community is too small.

you might check the server list of WaW in GameTracker, to have a general idea regarding the playerbase. in-game server browser actually shows some more servers, so I guess the reason they aren't visible in Gametracker is due to being modded/cracked.

btw, in case you're still interested, there's an ongoing sale event for many CoDs at humble store. it's a trusted website which has official permissions by many game companies. WaW is currently discounted 50% there, and its product key can also be redeemed on steam when bought. price of WaW never gets any lower than 10 bucks on digital stores like steam, so it's a good deal if you wish to buy the game as cheap as possible.
