It basic but not crap. I find that one thing it fails to mention is that you
should run the server as a user and not as root... so if you have all your
files on the server, copy them over to a user and change permissions...

example:

cp -a /path/to/my/serer /home/cod4-user
cd /home
adduser cod4-user
chown -R cod4-user:cod4-user cod4-user

su - cod4-user
./cod4_lnxded

Doing it this way ensures that all file permissions belongs to the user and
you are starting the server as the user.
