> INTRODUCTION
> 
> This document details numerous additions, fixes and changes 
> to Call of DutyTin the Multiplayer 1.2 patch.
> 
> IMPORTANT NOTE:  Use of the in-game console is not supported 
> by ActivisionR. Please do not contact ActivisionR Customer 
> Support with issues that arise from using console commands in-game.
> 
> NOTES FOR MOD USERS:
> - It is recommended that any user modifications that have 
> been installed to the Call of Duty directory be removed 
> before installing this patch. These modifications are not 
> supported by ActivisionR and may not be compatible with some 
> of the new features that are included.
> - Call of Duty does not support mods that have spaces in the 
> mod's folder name.  Be sure that the folder that contains 
> your mod does not have spaces, otherwise users will not be 
> able to download the files.  For example, a mod in a folder 
> called "My Mod" would be invalid, whereas "MyMod" or "My_Mod" 
> would work.
> 
> GAMETYPE FIXES
> 
> 1.  Behind Enemy Lines
> 
> - Fixes some allies not showing up on the compass in large servers.
> - Fixed a bug that would make enemy indicator on the compass 
> not show up.
> - Fixed the killcam window remaining on screen during the 
> black screen when you are about to spawn as an allied player.
> - At the end of a round all players show on the same team to 
> make it easier to see how players ranked.
> 
> 2.  Search & Destroy
> 
> - You no longer have a weapon when planting the bomb.
> - Planting the bomb near the end of the round stops the round 
> timer, so that the bomb is now the condition for victory. 
> - Bombs can no longer be planted after a round has been declared over.
> - Reaching the timelimit (scr_sd_timelimit) no longer ends 
> the game mid-round.
> 
> WEAPON & PLAYER FIXES
> 
> - Adjustments made to the sniper rifles to make them balanced.
> - When a player lands after jumping, his/her speed is briefly 
> reduced, making bunny hopping a less effective tactic in multiplayer.
> - Adjusted hitboxes on player models to make them more 
> accurate and thus making rifles more effective.
> - The number of grenades given to a player is now based on 
> the weapon selected. Sniper rifles provide 1 grenade, 
> Bolt-action rifles provide 3 grenades,  and all other weapons 
> provide 2 grenades.
> 
> NEW FEATURES
> 
> 1.  New Gametype - Headquarters
> 
> - A radio randomly spawns into a map as neutral.  Your team 
> must capture a radio by standing near it with no enemies around.
> - Your team must control a radio to gain points.  A team is 
> awarded 45 points for every 45 seconds it holds the radio.
> - Destroying an enemy radio rewards your team with as many 
> points as are left on the reinforcement timer  (e.g. if you 
> destroy the radio with 16 seconds left on the reinforcements 
> timer, your team will receive 16 points).
> 
> - If your team loses the radio, a new radio will spawn in a 
> different location. This radio is now neutral and must be captured. 
> - Spawns are regulated by a reinforcement timer, which spawns 
> players in 45 second intervals. This reinforcement timer is 
> displayed on the HUD and players only have to wait until the 
> closest spawn period before rejoining the battle. 
> 
> 2.  Killcam On/Off
> 
> - Added server-side cvar scr_killcam to turn on/off killcam
> 	
> 3.  Disable Freelook Spectating
> 
> - Added server-side cvar scr_freelook to turn on/off freelook 
> spectator mode
> 	
> 4.  Disable spectating enemy players
> 
> - Added server-side cvar scr_spectateenemy to turn on/off 
> spectating the other team while dead
> 	
> 5.  Force team balancing
> 
> - Added server-side cvar scr_teambalance to force teams to 
> have the same number of players. Teams with an odd number of 
> players will be as balanced as possible. 
> (Round based gametypes will adjust the teams between rounds, 
> respawn gametypes will adjust the teams every 60 seconds)
> 
> 6. Shared Friendly Fire
> 
> -Setting scr_friendlyfire 3 will share damage in cases of 
> friendly fire between the victim and attacker.
> 
> 7. Ban Abilities For Server Administration
> 
> Uniquely identified players printed in stats logging:
> -The log used for stat tracking now includes player unique 
> identifiers so players can be uniquely tracked based on cdkey 
> instead of being tracked by player name.  Note that there is 
> no way anyone can determine your cdkey from your GUID.
> 
> - Server administrators now have the option to Ban players 
> from their server permanently.  The banned players are stored 
> in a "ban.txt" file on the server, which can be manually 
> edited by the server admin.
> - The commands "banUser" and "banClient" ban somebody 
> currently playing on a server by their in-game name or client 
> number.  This adds the player to "ban.txt," and kicks them 
> from the server.
> - You can unban every uniquely identified player with the 
> name "UnnamedSoldier" using "unban UnnamedSoldier" from the 
> console.  If you want to unban a single player whose name 
> appears more than once, you should edit "ban.txt" manually.
> - Server administrators also have the option of temporarily 
> banning a player from a server for X amount of time (in 
> seconds).  Use the command \sv_kickBanTime to change the 
> length of the ban.  This Temp Ban option has also been added 
> to the CallVote menu, allowing players to kick "griefers" and 
> prevent them from simply reconnecting immediately.
> 
> NOTE:  Ban commands are for Internet servers only.  They do 
> not function on LAN servers.
> 
> 8.  Server Hardware displayed in Server Browser
> 
> - Added a column with icons displaying what hardware each 
> given server is (Win Dedicated, LINUX, etc).
> - Added an indication whether or not the server is modded to 
> the server
> browser.	
> 
> 9.  New Server Filters
> 
> - Added pure server, friendly fire, killcam, server modded, 
> and dedicated only server filters.
> 
> IMPORTANT NOTE:  The "Pure Server" filter is set to "Pure 
> Servers Only" by default.  When the patch is installed, it 
> will show only pure servers unless you change to another 
> setting. This setting can be found by clicking on "Join 
> Server" and selecting the "Filters" submenu. 
> 
> 10.  Server Info Screen
> 
> - On connecting to a server you will now see a server info 
> screen which lists the servername, message of the day, 
> gametype, and current settings appropriate to the gametype.
> 
> 11. Timedemo statistics
> 
> - Timedemos write a .csv file based on the map name and 
> resolution that says how many milliseconds each frame took.  
> This can be opened directly in a spreadsheet program for 
> benchmarking performance over time.
> 
> 12.  New script commands
> 
> - Added "precacheTurret( turretinfo )" script command to MP.
> - Added "spawnTurret( classname, origin, turretinfo )" script 
> command to MP.
> - Added "enableWeapon()" and "disableWeapon()" player script 
> commands to MP.
> 
> 13.  Allow Downloads
> 
> There is a new client command in the Multiplayer Options 
> screen called "Allow Downloading."  When set to on, 
> connecting to a server that contains a new map or mod will 
> automatically begin downloading the files associated with the 
> map or mod.
>

> 
> - Removed music from multiplayer menus
> - Fixed minefield explosion sounds not always playing correctly
> - Fixed minefield explosion damage killing nearby players

> after the map changed. 
> - Fixed sporadic friendly fire message when killing an enemy 
> player in Behind Enemy Lines. 
> - Fixed a problem with cdkeys not being displayed after 
> connecting to a server running a mod.
