Call of Duty (IW4x)··2 min read

IW4x is the community client that revives Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer with dedicated servers and mods. A dedicated server lets you host classic MW2 lobbies with full mod control. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Call of Duty (IW4x) server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

  • A Call of Duty (IW4x) plan with around 1–2 GB of RAM — Call of Duty (IW4x) is a Medium-class game.
  • Support for IW4x mods and configs, included on every GGameHost Call of Duty (IW4x) plan.
  • Your friends or community to play with (up to 18 slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Call of Duty (IW4x) community. We recommend about 1–2 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Call of Duty (IW4x) plans start at $10.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Call of Duty (IW4x) server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your Call of Duty (IW4x) server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your Call of Duty (IW4x) server supports IW4x, Mods, Custom maps, FTP/SFTP. Install IW4x mods and configs straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your Call of Duty (IW4x) server stable.
