As online PC gaming has grown globally, so we have seen a rapid expanse of the options available to those looking to get their multiplayer fix.
Over a decade ago it was pretty easy – there was Quake and StarCraft. Soon the likes of Quake III, Call of Duty, Unreal, Battlefield and WarCraft 3 came along to water down the player base.
Before long, with internet connections improving and games becoming more advanced, we were sitting with an almost unmanageable selection of games to play online.
In South Africa, the past few years have seen massive growth in the local online gaming arena, and now thousands of South Africans games online daily.
Given all this growth and complexity, it gets a little difficult to keep track of the various local servers on offer. Sure, most games now come with a server browser that does all the work for us, but it’s still good to have an idea of which GSPs (Gaming Service Providers) are hosting servers for which games.
With that in mind, I poked around and made a list of all the local servers and their IP addresses currently up and running for a variety of commonly played titles. I’m sure I missed a few, so if you spotted any servers that you think should be on this list, let us know in the comments below.
Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty 4 taught us a lot about how modern warfare shooters can be done right, and mutton-chops.
