GamingOutlawZ - Article: Create a COD4 Dedicated server

Find the file iw3mp.exe and create a shortcut to it on your desktop.

Right click on the shortcut and hit "Properties" box.

In the "Target" field at the very end, add this

+set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec mp_server.cfg +map_rotate

Create a new file in the "main" folder(this is located in the root COD4 folder). name it mp_server.cfg

This is a sample config used on our cod server:
