IWNation kicks out CoD2 patch snitch
In a surprising move, moderator Tally who told the world about the current Call of Duty 2 multiplayer patch status has now been removed from IWNation crew. What this means for the authenticity of his reports, no idea, although many people have confirmed his story as they have called Infinity Ward and been told personally the patch is to arrive within 2 weeks.
To quote Major Pain, administrator at IWNation forum:
We all agreed that we would do best to remove Tally from moderator status here on IWNation.com.
The current problems and situation had reached it’s top, and it’s causing us a bad reputation.
We’ve had to deal with many problems in the past, so this was something we could definately not use. Plus, we did not like the way the ‘patch-topic’ was posted.
Tally’s post further down the same topic sees him implying a smear campaign has been launched against him. He also hints at problems existing between Infinity Ward and IWNation, which dubs itself “the official Infinity Ward forums”.
Where this places all of us is beyond anyone’s guess, but it’s clear at the very least that IW and IWN have been making a huge mess of a lot of things.








LOL
LOL “its causing us a bad reputation” I think that boat set sail long ago.
wow, these guys are really digging their own grave here. i might have to really try to exert my will power, quit playing Cod regardless of a patch, and boycott their scandelicious asses. that is really a deplorable move, unless it was somehow mandated by m$ via their confidentiality agreement. my sympathy goes out to this guy.
– mu
They’re causing a real mess. IW is really going downwards!
I simply can’t believe this what a bunch of tossers, the guy is simply trying to pass on a little info.
I am so glad I’m not part of that whole IWN board fiasco. Hard to believe things could get so out of hand.
OH NOES! ITS A CONSPIRACY! Seriously, people hae far too much time on their hands to even complain about a late patch in the first place… how about you go… oh, I dont know… outside?
Outside??

And you’ve got the time on your hands to moan at people who are moaning…I’ts one big circle.
ONI 23: it’s also known as “the big blue room with the yellow thingy in the ceiling”
Hahaha.. lmfao!
I’ve heard rumors of the “blue room” I just didn’t believe it!

Guess I’ll just have to buy Ghost Recon 3, at least they implemented the online the right way it seems.
Is the blue room multiplayer? I heard alot of people complaining about it having long respawn times…. =)
well tally shot himself in the foot, trying to worm his way into iw but selling other ppl others out
re why do ppl moan about patch
well its been ready since xmasish for the pc, but cos of a deal between iw/av/ms they wont release it until 360 is patched
also all the bug fixes in cod and coduo were removed pre gold burning
thats quoted from the developers that little bit
So 3 years+ of hard work in cod and coduo got smashed
so tbh yeah ppl moan about patch
(did u not know cod2 is just cod/coduo with nicer graphics, and lots of bugs)
iw ship sunk, fossil collectors on route
Well I would be more surprised if they removed him for telling the truth, most likely you find what Tally said about the PATCH was not true, or stretched.
I have always thought a lot of Tally post has a ulterior motive and really took everything he said with a pinch of salt
Tally was just doing what he thought was right.But everyones a harda$$ behind a keyboard. So i’m sorry to hear about you tally, but you are better off severing all ties with IWN and IW. Good luck to you man.
Tally, along with many others, had already stated they were going to switch everything to RO anyway.
Apart from that he was a typical techie fascist moderator twat.
The only bigger twat is Pain who just keeps on showing what an illiterate fuckwit he is.
IW/IWNation = lying scum
I don’t get all the hubbub about this. he obviously, as a moderator, had to agree to some things or something that states he is not allowed to release any info on the forums, or not? Who know’s…it’s only a guess, correct me if I’m wrong, but you CoD2 fans got what you wanted - a release date.
You guys are stuck in february, its march now and we have better things to care about then a cod2 patch…
Major Pain the Administrator?? He mis-spelled ‘definitely’. These guys are a bunch of unprofessional retards.
the patch would have been nice…when i acctuly cared. no one who bout call of duty 2 still plase it online exeped a few people. i have PDZ and COD and i dont play eather becas of the massive issuse sereosly i dont think this guy should have been let go for realeesing info no one cares about we have bigger and better games to wery about now like oblivion and GRAW and the outfit. i have moved on i onec cared about the patch but now i dont even when it comes out im probebly not downlodeing it. be happy
pardin my spelling,,,,,be happy
Wow, your spelling is rather bad…I bet you use some sort or Instant messenger a lot don’t you? I’m not taking the piss or anything.
And I love Call of Duty. It’s a shame.
Ghost Recon’s getting 9’s across the board. This raises the bar for Bungie, who will of course be making something in the 9.5 - 10 range. (I’m not a big Halo fan but this is how it’ll turn out.)
If Metal Gear Solid 4 isn’t really, REALLY good, Sony’s screwed.
That guy didn’t sound very professional in his patch leak. There were too many grammatical errors to count.
Theres more going on with this than meets the eye, he got bumped because of more than one thing or one BIG BAD thing.. but because of the COD2 “leak”? i dont think so….
don’t think so? then go read the forums dude.
he was a good mod.
man you guys are hard on the man– Tally has spent so much time helping CoD players with bugs and poor software glitching their machines it isnt funny— nobody knows more about the files, and servers than him— he will always help anybody– and ive seen him help countless mugs get back into the game with his knowledge and very prompt help with anything CoD. if the game wasnt so dam flucked up with texture glitches- bad maps you can throw a grenade across the whole thing– the shotgun with a range far too long for a scatter gun– the hit boxes amazingly huge on the scoped out sniper– shall i continue? Tally was trying to give hope to all the CoD players fed up with a game they just bought– people hated this new set up from the get, and were crying for a patch the first week it was out!! boy thats some good software! congrats to IW for giving us a broken game with no anti-cheat– and making us pay dearly for it! the cheating is rampant at this point– I SUPPORT TALLY! i think when red orchestra comes out, IW will see the repercussions of their actions: empty servers
Well said WarBonger - Anyone who gives up their time for others should be given a second chance, who cares about a patch release “leak”?! I think they are just trying to blame someone for the lack of a patch and the fact they are working on too many games at once, they automatically thought that COD2 would be a success on xbox360 so they are updating that quicker than COD2 for the pc? what the hell, i played the 360 one and its a bunch of bollox. Keep to what you know best IW finish the PC games first! And as i’m a mapper, for god sakes release the COD2 SDK, thats the only way your going to make up for your sins.
(p.s anyone who thinks that grammatical errors is a calculation of ones intellect are themselves, dumb)
The only thing IWNation as official is the first 2 letters, they are a fan site like thousand others. For the rest they are a bunch of retards who always delete posts when they don’t like people. Now they do the same with Tally: DELETED!!!!!
As far as I am concerned, who cares about leaks or whether this person said this or not, or the accuracy of all of this. Bottom line, here it is the beginning of March and still no patch update. The people who need to be terminated are IW and Activision, not Tally. Shame on them for not releasing this game with Punkbuster and the necessary tools right from the start and then to take all this time and still no update for PC. Sorry IW and Activision, all this hype from you, you blew it!!!! Piss poor effort on your part!!!
I am the owner of 2 cod 2 servers, one UO server and a teamspeak server. Also the owner of spottergaming.com, Spotter Gaming League {SGL} and the Spotter Gaming Clan -=SGC=-
Infinity Ward and Activision, IMO, have ruined everything they worked for over the years when Call of Duty 2 was released without a working anti-cheat. They let money and greed stop them from designing a FSP game that should have been great out of the box. If you look back and see the experience they gained from releasing CoD1 without an anti-cheat and a bug filled game, you will notice how much better United Offensive was when it was released.
They took a major step backwards with CoD2 and seemed to forget the lessons learned after CoD1 was released.
Now they are sucking up to Microsoft. First they design the game for the Xbox and then adjust it to work on the PC….and not very well as it has many of the bugs that CoD1 had. Map exploits, not enough gamestate memory, no anti-cheat and even addded a few with using dx-7 and dx-9.
Just the printing on the outside of the over-priced box for the PC is wrong. Try running that game at its minimal requirements as printed on the box..it would be like playing in the mud and laggy as hell.
After talking my members into buying this game and using our hard-earned members money and mine to pay for all the servers we have up before it was released and now to be treated like they could care less about customers….especially the PC customers since they are making love to Microsoft right now, I for one may just quit the entire CoD series that I love so much and get away from these ignorant masters of BS.
I wish to thank Infinity Ward and Activision for ruining one of the best First Person Shooter game series ever made and making my life a total hell listening to constant complaints about possible cheaters, crappy hitbox registering that comes and goes, awful fps rate and no quick-download capability to download custom maps and mods and not releasing a patch and dev-tools in a timely manner.
Let me tell you this IW and Activision. Simply releasing a game to the public that doesn’t crash means nothing. The project is not complete until the entire package is ready…..I think you could have waited another 6 months and added a/c, bug fixes you knew existed in CoD1 should have note been in CoD2 and the dev-tools should have been released as soon as the game was ready….you guys learned all this three years ago….Pull your heads out of MS’s ass and get back to supporting your customers, if you still have any!
My 2 cents, if you want to read more see my interview with MTV on their website, but I think I’ve said enough.
Tally ftw !!!
This might be the wrong site and topic to moan about the PC version of the game, but I’ve had it with you guys! three weeks ago there were rumors about the patch release within two weeks. Even my poor counting skills makes that one week ago? I haven’t played the CoD2 game in two weeks because of all the bugs and the maps are driving me crazy! (in long distance the bushes dissappear etc., what the f*ck is that??) Told my clanmates to contact me as soon as the patch is released, but still nothing! Maybe I’ll just suggest that our clan switch to another WW2 first person shooting game. I even read that the patch only will contain 2 new maps, f*ck my mothers f*t *ss!!! Tomorrow I’ll steal my brothers X-box, piss on it, BURN IT, record the hole thing on my digicam and release the video on every website containing the word x-box or call of duty 2!!!
Ok all to stop all the BS why did he get fired and why he didnt. Please take a good hard peek at this thread.

First of all the patch leak was just a very very very tiny portion. It was the “other” issues that got him FIRED.
1) Stealing other peoples work and claiming it as his own
2) Making a false police report
3) Falsely accussing 2 other modders of hacking his computer
4) Falsely accussed 1 other modder of making physical threats to his family
Item 1 was proved by the 3 mod teams of said material. Also Tally was fired from those mod teams for said actions.
Items 2, 3 and 4 were proved by the UK Police and the matter has been concluded and closed. The defendants in this matter, the accussed has been cleared of all wrong doing(s). It was found to be a scam by Tally to make himself look good.
Info of the mod work can be found here:
http://www.cod2hq.com/mod...p;file=article&sid=79
Read the front page news. All modders who OWNED said work did come forward to disprove Tally and to set the record stright on whos work it is. It was not Tally’s.
In closing, do not think that Tally is a angel. He is nothing but a scam artist period.
Pwnt
This whole thing is fucked up as Hogan’s Goat. Tally got screwed but we are still waiting on the damn patch.
