About Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 2 is Infinity Ward's 2005 World War II shooter, with campaigns across North Africa, Russia and Western Europe. Its multiplayer on maps such as Toujane, Carentan and Burgundy is still played by dedicated communities on PC.
It came out for Windows on 25 October 2005 in North America and is still sold on Steam. Clans and communities keep their servers running with custom maps, mods and their own rule sets for Search and Destroy and the other classic modes.
A rented Call of Duty 2 dedicated server gives your community an always-on home, with your own rotation and rules, and a location close to your players for the lowest ping.

I started a server for wurm. I had many problems (All were me being a noob). I had support from the entire tech staff walking me through step buy step. I know i was a difficult customer ( got mad a few times). They kept helping me until i was able to play my server. Thanks to the crew and staff.. Will be switching over my empyrion server in jan....( tech crew get ready lol ). Would recommend 100 % BigNasty athens, ga,usa
Sometimes you need common sense to solve an issue. Jacob B. helped me out with that 😂 Took some real tolerance, you a real champ for this one!
Amazing customer service! Ping perfect really goes above and beyond! I mistakenly bricked my server by messing up a config file. I opened up a ticket and it was responded to almost instantly and before I knew it the server was re-imaged and everything was back to normal! The user panel is very easy to use. The server performance is excellent and fast. 10/10 thank you ping perfect! <3
Been using them for years now! Recently cod4 got an update to 1.8 (after so many years!). My server stopped working because it was still on 1.7. These pingperfect support guys worked with me hours upon hours trying to fix my issue. I felt like I was their only customer because of the amount of time and effort they spent on me alone! The support is truly remarkable! I will always recommend pingperfect!

Call of Duty 2 Server Hosting FAQ
How do I choose a Call of Duty 2 server host?▾
Check a few things: a location close to your players for low ping, full access to server.cfg and your files for custom maps and mods, fast map downloads, DDoS mitigation and automatic backups. A free trial lets you test the ping before you pay. Our servers have all of these, with 20 locations and a 48-hour free trial.
How do I create a Call of Duty 2 server?▾
Order a plan and the server is set up for you. Open main\server.cfg in the Gamepanel's text editor, set the server name, passwords, game type and map rotation, and restart. Our configuration guide explains every line.
How do I add custom maps?▾
Upload the map's .iwd file to the main folder by FTP, then add it to the sv_mapRotation line for your game type in server.cfg. You need a mod running to use custom maps. See our custom maps guide.
