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

[@Qwepzy]

I was happy to see my refunded steam version still runs with HMW

[@Rxqe]

oh that works? didn't know that

[@itstroy4145]

@@Rxqeyup, you can buy the game, refund it and choose to keep the files lol

[@Starzoh]

Still have my files from when I bought it for h2m works like a dream 👍

[@DAVE_WHITE]

why would it not none of the files are removed cause of a refund

[@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

[@breaxyz6361]

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

[@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

[@GhostProtocolXL]

They are planning to add OG MW3 Maps so safe to say they are on the track of making "MW Trilogy Remastered".

[@gorillagroddgaming]

Modern warfare 2 reimagined. What’s the point of remastering the game if it’s not faithful to the original?

[@FtoisMp]

@@gorillagroddgaming If you want to play the original, stfu and go play iw4x.

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

[@Rxqe]

REAL

[@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

[@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

[@YesItzCee]

thanks for the video brother we appreciate the support 🙏🏽

[@Rxqe]

of course! happy to help

[@ByMezmoh]

I only have 17 servers and my source in the server browser list is set to favourites, yours is set to source:internet help?

[@Rxqe]

@@ByMezmoh yes just try refreshing your servers with different filters, I did not have mine set to favorites

[@watchryangame]

Thanks Mike! Do we remove the .jason server file? or does this process replace all those previous files with the updated files?

[@Rxqe]

you can if you want, you just need the new launcher now and it'll auto dl/sort everything for you

[@amanjoo]

I remember years ago playing iw4x ai zombies it was so fun, hopefully someone will mod that in here as well :)

[@Rxqe]

think there's AI zombies server(s) available on HMW! check it out

[@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

[@ImNotRXZL]

Fatal error since moving from h2m to hmw unfortunately. Good to see the launcher is downloading files as needed 😂 Will have to sit down and try to fix it someday soon

[@aaronwhatson]

Is there to get more servers there is barley anyone on the ones I have

[@Liamzy]

Im not sure if anyone else has this issue but on startup it will just close itself and the launcher is saying everything is good to go

[@Rxqe]

haven't had that, would check in the discord

[@Liamzy]

@@Rxqe I managed to figure it out, I had plugins for adding wrists twists etc back in H2M, removed these and it boots

[@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

[@Dreazylol]

Yes. The source code for the mod is even available.

[@MorningstarJinn]

i dont got the time to watch the full vid rn but can you do this with ''any'' sort of MWR copy?

[@Callay_Music]

love the first h2m release besides bugs. but the new version constantly having to verify game files EVERY TIME kills it. i verify get told i need to download missing files, do. Verify then that doesnt even work sometimes i was sat for an hour last night waiting

[@alexmason6457]

one question , didnt h2m end ? I thought activison gave them some sort of warning and they shut the whole project down

[@hopscotchrandy5262]

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.

[@nomadicsaint9155]

I feel like the whole topic of the mod being dead is so weird since as you said the numbers can mean differently between pc and console but man i know if H2M was officially up there would be so many players on regardless of the hour of the day. I think the majority gave up or are just dipping in and out of the game. I would love to play but i just don't have anyone else wanting to play

[@Rxqe]

oh I totally agree with you on that, I think that H2M would settle and eventually resemble what we have for pluto BO2 playercounts, usually in the couple hundreds at any given time and it'd be fine to get on and play whenever. I think that's also a fair point too, people come and go, and then there's some that just dont care anymore, but for those who do care, it's a matter of just get on and play

[@frankfortfcgoc]

Thanks Dude for the video about horizonmw it needs some help players numbers are very low boring playing against bots its really amazing but badly needs more players

[@SparrowMP]

Activision is most likely not aware of Horizon MW. H2M was talked about a lot, but after it got the C&D, People slowly stopped talking about it which allowed the Horizon team to work on this without much attention from a lot of people & Activision as well.

[@blinkjump8723]

The devs got shut down but the game still dropped on that day via file leaks ect. One thing to note I’ve noticed is the call of duty community is extremely scared of downloading something that’s not straight off steam or battle net so there’s a million people screaming it’s not safe when it is. Bricked PCs and the like were all rumors.
