These servers run on a 2×Quad-Core Xeon server that also hosts this web site (and others), and connects to the Internet via a 100 Mbps dedicated connection.

Please Note: Servers #1-3 are Vanilla except for tanks spawning no earlier than 20% through the map on maps 2-4 of a campaign (default is 10%) and Ghost Tank plugin. Server #4 is like #1-3 plus CEVO (minus Ready Up) and ProMap.

UNREST (16-way versus!)


Maintained by: bootc.
Location: Maidenhead, UK.

This server cannot be joined from a lobby, you can only join using connect 87.117.228.63:27019 from a console. The server is set up as 8v8 and in addition to the standard plugins from the other servers has larger zombie hordes and parts of the CEVO config (mostly to guarantee tanks).

How to use these servers

  1. Make sure you have the developer console enabled – it can be activated in the Options menu (go to “Keyboard/Mouse”, then Enable the “Allow Developer Console” option) and then displayed by pressing the tilde (~) key in game (you don’t need to press “Shift”)
  2. Start a lobby for your chosen game type and get people to join.
  3. Open the developer console and type mm_dedicated_force_servers <ip>:<port> and press enter.
  4. Close the developer console and hit Start Game.
