[cod] Silly question

[Robert Mount]

A COD2 server should scream on that box.  Is there anything else running?

- Remove all your mods
- Run Md5 (http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/) against your home install
and make sure everything matches and isn't corrupt.
- See if you're dropping packets or anything (just running ifconfig
will tell you the basics).
