How to Install HMW - The NEW MW2 Remastered Multiplayer Mod Update!

[@Rxqe]

**QUICK UPDATE FOR SERVER BROWSER FIX** - If you were on H2M previously, delete the favorites.json file located within your players2 folder. If you do not have it and or once it's deleted, then reverify your files in the launcher and it will autoupdate. Once in game, click "Find Match", then towards the bottom of the screen you will see options for filters and refresh, you should be good to go then! Two quick things; for one if you're curious about settings, commands, etc, feel free to refer back to my original H2M install vid here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYS3oWtmqNSKipI (timestamped for settings) and two, I really wanted to include the classic installation meme but KZbin now mutes videos for using their national anthem (dreamscape 009), just know I really wanted it in the video LOL x.com/MikeRxqe/status/1839380866860204370

[@SpecialOperator]

They mute videos?? Like TikTok?

[@SpecialOperator]

Also this song is so nostalgic. Hey, what about the other 2 songs "Let the bodies hit the floor" and Evanescence "Wake me up" They were both used in those old tutorials. Maybe they dont mute those

[@InfiniMob]

Does this trick work with Plutonium CODs (Black Ops 2, MW3 2011) and it's DLCs? Because I'm NOT paying 60$ for either Black Ops 2 and MW3 or 80$(!) For the Digital Deluxe

that could potentially lead to some problems legally I'd imagine, but we'll see how it plays out

I just played IW6X Today and i found a Server with 6 players in it. And you also have combat training. Thats pretty cool i guess

[@Rxqe]

thats cool! exactly though, if people want to play a game they should encourage others to get on and play

Played with you earlier this evening. Love the Game !!

[@Rxqe]

ggs man!

[@whoisprize]

World at war has like 10 players max on plutonium yet i can play a match with atleast 3 people whenever i want. at the weekends it goes higher and sometimes a server is full with 18 players. What a great cod i have missed. have to get back to hmw though

[@dngdnf4862]

very good point u have. thats what stopped me playing for instance cod waw on ps3. i think its too few players that play, so i don't jump in. and ofc, if everyone thinks that way, the game will always stay dead

[@Rxqe]

exactly, partially a mindset thing, it's like if everyone just realizes they could get on and populate it then why not just simply get on haha

[@azzieboba]

i always check your tutorials for the 009 sound system and unregistered hypercam and ive never been disappointed. glad to see the install process streamlined so greatly

[@735Films]

I missed this video!! Damn so happy. Time to play HMW!!

[@revenge977]

About your rant, that is the problem with server browsers. People open up the game, see that the servers are empty, ALT F4 and call the game/client dead. It is why a lot of servers in a lot of games with server browsers try to spoof their player count to get people to join in. It's why I prefer matchmaking over server browsers. It's way easier to find populated matches. It would be a huge W to me if HMW added matchmaking. It is cool to have people be able to host their own servers to add mods, etc, but in the long term what we end up having is lack of vanilla servers and only modded servers existing and it becomes harder to find normal servers.

[@Rxqe]

that makes a ton of sense, and I think that may be a part of them creating a matchmaking service some how

[@maxgruber842]

so i got online yesterday to the "old" H2M ..the Server Browser showed like 6 people online .. I thought thats it.. i had like some cool days but now its dead .. i deleted it So its Not actually dead? How many people are playing ?

best part is because major youtubers do not know about this, activision won't find out until last minute and by then, hmw will be ok.

[@Kawrie]

Appreciate the help Rxqe, cheers! :)

[@Rxqe]

you're welcome!

[@HopscotchRandy]

Aus players perpetually stuck between joining American lobbies and dealing with like 250 ping or joining empty lobbies with a good connection and being stuck killing bots cause the only Aus lobbies that seem to consistently populate (on any client, not just h2m/hmw) are trickshot servers

[@Rxqe]

genuinely feel bad for the aussies, I know how slim the population is especially on pc/clients. crossplay is a saving grace for you guys

[@Doudrigo]

Same here in Brazil, but we are planning to open a server for ourselves. You should do it too.

[@pawemachalski9011]

So... the MW3 (plutonium) is still there just waiting for people? You mean some people still playing? Me and my friends were in such a grief for not playing so long

[@Rxqe]

yup, MW3 pluto usually has 100 or so players on with a few servers, so just get on and play

[@ipwnukazu]

barely anyone to really play with though

[@SaekAncient]

get ready to be sweated on tho

[@rideislife192]

I dont undertand, so how can they release the launcher officialy if it was forbidden by activision?

[@flamingscar5263]

IMHO when matchmaking comes there will be A LOT more players, 99% of people aren't playing rn because they see 1 full server, don't want to wait for a slot, and don't want to wait for other servers to populate with matchmaking, say there are 12 people online but not in game, matchmaking could just put those 12 people in a server together, no waiting for slots, no joining empty servers hoping for them to fill up, just click play and wait

[@Warpzy]

Just when I thought it was gone

[@Rxqe]

[@TheJaviSkate]

I know maybe it's a dumb question but I need to ask that, is it worth to play it? is it safe? because I downloaded a hwm exe from that discord server and virustotal detects that as a danger

[@thatboytopic]

So the launcher will download all of the original H2M files? Isn't that what got the OG devs c&d'd in the first place?

[@Rxqe]

dont think so for that reason exactly, (I'm not on the h2m team so I have no clue what the actual reason is) what I mean is it'll download the usermaps and such for players to play on for the mod. yes the original project got c&d'd but the thing is now, it's open source, meaning the code and files are out there so I guess it's fair game? I have no idea the legality of the matter

[@justanotherpxrson]

Absolute worst case scenario we can't get in trouble for playing. They could try to c&d again but people will just keep picking it up

Would it still work if you already have the old files installed for the mod or would I have to remove those files first?

you would only need to remove the favorites.json file from your players2 folder if you downloaded that for H2M originally, that will break the server browser. once you delete that and reverify the files in launcher, you'll be good to go!
