You can now download all of the maps on our server while out of game. Click on the Downloads link on the right side of this page and follow the instruction.
The server has been updated to a beta version of the next release of OWM.
This beta adds a new class called Grenadier. The Grenadier is a bolt action rifleman and the only class allowed rifle grenades. Rifle grenades are still limited to two teammates per side. The Grenadier is equipped with two hand grenades by default. A bayonet is equipped to this class by default. The time it takes to load and unload rifle grenades has been increased to seven seconds. The Grenadier is vulnerable to attack in this time.
The Rifleman class is now solely for semi automatic rifles. Semi automatic rifles are no longer allowed rifle grenades. Rifleman are equipped with one hand grenade. The class is also now limited. The Americans are allowed 6 semi automatic rifles, between the Garand and the carbine. The Russians and the Germans are allowed two. The Japanese do not have a Rifleman class. You are no longer able to reload the Garand mid clip. You must fire off all eight rounds in order to reload a new clip. This is more realistic, as it is possible to reload a Garand as the stock game allows, it is not easy to do, and more than likely would not be attempted during a firefight. Ding!
To balance the teams between the Americans and the Japanese, the Japanese are allowed three SMGs and two LMGs. The Americans are allowed one SMG and one LMG. For American vs German maps, the Americans are still allowed two SMGs and one LMG.
All other classes, perk allowances and loadouts remain the same. The Russians and Germans are allowed two SMGs and one HMG/LMG. All teams are allowed one shotgunner and one sniper. The Close Assault class is the only class allowed the flamethrower.
The movement speed of the machine gunners has increased slightly. They are still slower than all other classes, but not so sluggish now.
The fitness of your character has also been increased. You will be able to run longer without an issue other than increased rifle sway, provided you are not damaged in any way. Pulse recovery time is also a bit faster. You still move more slowly up an incline.
In an effort to raise some cash to keep the servers running smoothly, {BdG} has become an Amazon Affiliate. We now have a link under our donation button for Amazon.com. If you click that link to go to Amazon, as an affiliate, {BdG} receives a percentage of your purchase. It’s that simple. Anyone can do it. Your friends, your family. It changes nothing with your purchase nor does it cost anything extra. We’re simply an advertiser.
So, please, the next time you should decide to make an Amazon.com purchase, think of us and go through the link. Thank you.
In order to play on our server you will need to update your game to version 1.2.
The patch can be found at:
FilePlanet
or
FileFront
If you are running Vista you may find your game to have no sound. This is the fix.
Start, Control Panel, Sound, Speakers, Properties, Advanced, Default Format, Set to 16Bit / 44100/48000hz.
On Monday, February 2nd, we will no longer have a stock hardcore server. As a tactical realism clan, Call of Duty: World at War running under stock settings does not suit our gaming needs.

We have been testing OWM on our second server and we believe that we have it configured to suit our needs. Weapons are limited and you may only select the weapons of the army you are on. No more Americans with PPShs. There is no longer regenerative health, though there is a bandaging system in place. Bouncing Betties kill EVERYONE and must be planted in the prone position and you must remain prone until you are safely away from the Betty or it will kill you.
As Treyarch has not yet released the 1.2 patch, which supposedly fixes the redirect which allows everyone to download mods and maps in game at a reasonable speed, if you attempt to join the server and get the mod you will download at anywhere from 3-12kbps. The entire download of two files is only 1.5mb, but it can take a couple minutes at the low download rate. You can join the server and download from there or you can download the mod from here:
mp_openwarfare.zip
To install the mod,first unzip the file. Then for WindowsXP, place the mp_openwarfare folder in:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\mods
For Vista, the path is:
USERNAME/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/mods
If you cannot find these folders, turn on show hidden folders.
After many years of the horror of ChatArea, we have converted to a new, modern message board.
The address is www.bdgforums.org.
If you already have a ChatArea account, your login information will remain mostly the same, but you will need to check your ChatArea Private Message Inbox for your temporary password to log in to the new forums for your first visit. Then you can change your password to whatever you please.
The address for the old forum is www.chatarea/bdgtactical.
Over the next few days there will be some forum maintenance taking place as we upgrade to a new forum. There may be some down time with a few of the Passworded forums, (Member’s forums), and you may not be able to access them as usual.
{BdG} MEMBERS—If your Password is not logging you into the private areas, no worries, just give it a few hours and all should be back to normal. This should only last a few hours at a time and will hopefully be done during the late night hours.
If you really want to see what {BdG} is about, join us on our modded server. In the future, this is all we will play. There will no longer be a stock server. World at War has the potential to be a very nice tactical realism game, but not with all the garbage that stock allows.
On the mod server, we have realistic team specific weapon limits. In the future, the weapons will have more realistic recoil, so make that first shot count.
The IP is 209.11.247.42:28966. Add it to your favorites. There is a download and unfortunately it takes a few minutes, but once you have it, you won’t need to download it again. Join the server and download it to the game at your leisure, even if no one is on at the time.
