u can go into the command line (press the ~ button under the esc button)
and type in /connect 60.234.73.180 make sure u right the number down in case u forget it!
and it should load the server automatically.

hope the helps 🙂

Could get a server browser like XFire, All Seeing Eye or HLS (Can’t remember what the letters stand for unfortunately).

I can’t think of any other way to find OZ servers. Have you tried leaving it for half an hour and seeing if it pops up then? Or unrestricting all the search things?

Connecting via IP is an easy way if you want to only play on one server though. Just /connect [ip]
Ours is 60.234.73.180:27960, so you’d just go /connect 60.234.73.180:27960 in the console (press tilde/~/` (the number to the left of ‘!1’, above tab).

XFire should solve your problem easily, though it is a moderately sized download (30MB I think? Somewhere between 10 and 100 anyway).

Hope that helps 🙂

mah mine is easier to read 🙂

I included the port. And gave him a list of alternatives because he wanted to know how to SEE australian servers. Not just play on our server.

Thanks Admiral and Ryan,

I used the ip address to log on but got bounced with the message that I was running an incompatible version of the game.

I ended up reinstalling both the game and the 2.60b patch from a clean source and things now seem OK, I can log on and play at least. Thanks for the help and the rapid response.

Hi David,

Thanks for that David . I have installed Xfire and things seem to be working normally again.

hey u guys are all noobs 😛
use splatterladder. it has lists of servers, players and u can filter the server search as well (limit to oceania).
if u are unable to use it. u can use other programs or even look in ET in the server list. just click on ping and the servers with the lowest ping pop up first.
http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=serverlist
go there, find the server ips, then go into ET and /connect ip. remember that you do not need to enter the ending bit unless its other than 27960 eg.
for OZ’s server, the ip is 60.234.73.180:27960. u do not need to enter the 27960 bit.
well i guess thats about it.

glad to be of help,

technologic xfire can do that as well, pretty much any server browser can. + xfire can let you instant message your friends and let them see what game your playing plus do voicechat, download files etc etc
I’m quite pissed off at the makers of xfire for not releasing a linux version, but you can’t deny that its a great program 😀

u know lith that xfire got sold right?

the makers of xfire now made raptr its the same but then going to be cross platform and cross console to

so like u are on ur 360 playing cod4 then ur friend gets on and plays a other game on his ps3 and ur actually able to see what hes doing and so

its still in beta but it has full support for xfires data base 😛

the makers of xfire now made raptr

stink, so is that a linux version ❓

not yet but if i read what they wrote a few days back they will soon

yay!

hopefully ill be able to talk…. lol

All Seeing Eye was abandoned? I’m pretty sure you can still download it and it’ll work though. Won’t it? I don’t know, I pretty much always use IP. Sorry if it is abandoned for like telling you to get it dude.

wow sounds good, i heard xfire was being made for ps3 but i had no idea someone had bought it. I’m gonna take a look 😀
