iw4x-client VS AA2Unlimited

MW2 (2009), AW, Ghosts For those looking for the good old days of MW2, and I guess if you wanna play Ghosts or AW, X-Labs has you covered. Like CoD4X, these games include new maps & guns. The community on MW2 is much healthier than Cod4 and you will be able to find games a lot more often. I do not own AW or Ghosts so i can not attest to how populated they are on a regular basis. Here's a link to the X-Labs client: https://xlabs.dev Here's a tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QlaLathQ8

Take a look at the IW*X series if you like Plutonium: https://xlabs.dev/

Or if you're just trying to launch with the .exe and not the xlabs launcher just download this dll and throw it into your game folder and it should work after that https://github.com/XLabsProject/iw4x-client/releases

You can read the entire Changelog here

- PC is the second most active, and partly because of iw4x. IW4x is an open source project that allows you to set up your own dedicated servers with modifications for Modern Warfare 2 on top of a decentralized network. Main issue is the lack of vanilla lobbies and possible ping (it's region based). You can of course also play it on Steam but beware of hackers (there is an RCE exploit sadly but the patch is available in this sub's Discord) and of lack of support. However for Australians the steam version is safe to play via http://www.dedigamer.com/ These are dedicated servers hosted by a top bloke who's reverse engineered the game. It improves the experience as well as having great connection for anyone on the continent. Join the Discord above as there is a PC channel too.

Here . I do not use AA2 mini (and won't change to it either by fear of breaking the game) , so if you have any question about it , installation problems or anything else try to contact the makers on their discord , its at the bottom of the page . Also it comes with AA2 unlimited , which is a massive extension to the game . You can learn more about it Here . I know a thing or two about how some of the custom stuff works (Only the thing to make hair look better tbh but it's something) . And if you want to install custom characters , OP already sent a link in a comment below , it's a database for custom characters . (Funny how a .png contains so much informations)
