**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.

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
World at war has like 10 players max on plutonium yet i can play a match with atleast 3 people whenever i want. at the weekends it goes higher and sometimes a server is full with 18 players. What a great cod i have missed. have to get back to hmw though
i always check your tutorials for the 009 sound system and unregistered hypercam and ive never been disappointed. glad to see the install process streamlined so greatly
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
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.
so i got online yesterday to the "old" H2M ..the Server Browser showed like 6 people online .. I thought thats it.. i had like some cool days but now its dead .. i deleted it So its Not actually dead? How many people are playing ?
Been playing this so damn much during the week its amazing. Even with bots the game is fun. Especially since I havent played any COD's multiplayer after BO2.
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
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
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
my play button is grayed out when i open the launcher and it when i go click the "download latest update" button, it says it cannot be completed. Anyone know what this is about?
I know maybe it's a dumb question but I need to ask that, is it worth to play it? is it safe? because I downloaded a hwm exe from that discord server and virustotal detects that as a danger
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

you would only need to remove the favorites.json file from your players2 folder if you downloaded that for H2M originally, that will break the server browser. once you delete that and reverify the files in launcher, you'll be good to go!
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
@@Rxqe originally when h2m first was "released" surprisingly I played nearly everyday for 2 weeks and there were a few servers always full, it was great but I guess the hype died here assuming because it was unofficial etc.
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
the .net is a microsoft thing, I had to do it too as I just did a fresh windows install. You need to be on the new launcher since the old H2M stuff is outdated
not sure if you're still checking comments but whenever I try to install the files from the launcher I get an error: "an IO error occurred: THe decryption operation failed, see inner exception" How do I fix this?
@Rxqe I was trying to stream my game to my friends in discord but I don't think either the game or discord plays nice with each other. At least for me it doesn't. I was also just curious to see if you could or not
Why will no controllers work on it? I have tried an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and a Dualsense Edge with DS4. Neither of them will work with the mod.... Both will work if I just boot up MWR through steam without the mod. I have added HMW as a non-steam game to my steam library and enabled steam input for both the HMW Launcher as well as COD MWR.... Nothing is working. Yes, I obviously enabled game pad... Nothing will work! I have asked in the discord and no one is helpful. Smh.
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
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
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.
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.

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
thats cool! exactly though, if people want to play a game they should encourage others to get on and play

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
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
The moment I been waiting for before even trying this mod since it got taken down
now it's here, get on

love to hear that gamer :')
best part is because major youtubers do not know about this, activision won't find out until last minute and by then, hmw will be ok.

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
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
Same here in Brazil, but we are planning to open a server for ourselves. You should do it too.
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
I dont undertand, so how can they release the launcher officialy if it was forbidden by activision?
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
yup, MW3 pluto usually has 100 or so players on with a few servers, so just get on and play
barely anyone to really play with though
get ready to be sweated on tho
my play button is grayed out when i open the launcher and it when i go click the "download latest update" button, it says it cannot be completed. Anyone know what this is about?
Is there anything extra i gotta download for my controller to work? I had the game pad setting turned on but in game i couldnt move
Loved the vid, appreciate all the info :)
of course!!
Thanks Mike! Do we remove the .jason server file? or does this process replace all those previous files with the updated files?
you can if you want, you just need the new launcher now and it'll auto dl/sort everything for you
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
haven't had that, would check in the discord
@@Rxqe I managed to figure it out, I had plugins for adding wrists twists etc back in H2M, removed these and it boots
I know maybe it's a dumb question but I need to ask that, is it worth to play it? is it safe? because I downloaded a hwm exe from that discord server and virustotal detects that as a danger
Got the same thing and ran that bitch anyway! Lol😅
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?
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?

any idea on what is MISSING or what I'm doing wrong?
one question , didnt h2m end ? I thought activison gave them some sort of warning and they shut the whole project down
i bought the game and installed the mod, will it work with the mod alone if i refund mwr?
