Yo everyone, wazzuppp!!! This post is for all those AlterIWNet Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 lovers. As you may know, AlterIWNet, the community famous for its modding of Call of Duty MWF2, was shut down due to the Cease and Desist notice they received from Activision. All that belonged to AlterIWnet - their server, forums etc had to shutdown to avoid legal actions against them. After AlterIWNet shutdown their operations, the AlterIWNet community was divided into two. Almost all core members of the AlterIWNet project started a new community named AlterGaming where they will keep the community alive and develop their own FPS game. While NTAuthority, the main coder of the AlterIWNet started a new community as FourDeltaOne to continue the AlterIWnet project the legal ways.
If you are among those who missed AlterIWNet badly, and prayed that it could come back anyway it could, good news for you is that NTAuthority and his team has done the great job to bring back the old AlterIWnet fun! While NTAuthority left the AlterIWNet scene, he made the decision to continue the AlterIWNet project in legal ways, as he knew what went wrong with AlterIWNet project that allowed Activision to label it as "illegal". That is why he founded FourDeltaOne. The FourDeltaOne team has worked hard to bring back the AlterINWet project in legal ways and they have succeeded. They have released the IW4M Updater and Installer a few days ago which will allow you to play Call of Duty Modern Warfae 2 online on dedicated servers, just like AlterIWNet did. It also supports features such as mod support, custom textures etc just like AlterIWNet. So in this tutorial, I will try to explain how to use IW4M and play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer online.
Step 1
Preparing everything you need.
Install Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on your computer if not already installed. It should not have previous mods. If it does, then uninstall it and install a fresh copy.
Download IW4M installer from here.
Go to FourDeltaOne (Click Here) and register an account. Remember that your username will be used as your display name in the game too. And all your stats like rank, XP, guns, attachments, class etc will be synced with your account. So you can play on any computer with your username and you will have your data there.
Step 2
Run InstallIW4M.exe.
Click Browse button and navigate to the Modern Warfare 2 installation folder and select it.
Now the IW4M installer will download and install files as needed.
Once the download is finished, it will show the confirmation message.
Step 3
Run "Play IW4M (Modern Warfare 2)" from the start menu.
Now the updater will start updating files as necessary.
Step 4
After the updater finishes updating files, it will ask you for username and password. If it does not, then run "Play IW4M (Modern Warfare 2)" from start menu again.
In the username and password fields, enter your FourDeltaOne forum login details.
Check the Remember credentials check box if you don't want to enter login details every time you run the game.
Press OK and your game will start.
Step 5
Game On!
Now you are all set to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer online, along with thousands of other people online.
Click Browse Servers and it will show the dedicated server available.
You can set the game type as needed.
Double click on a server name to join the game and the game will start.
So this is it. You are all done. Bring back your old AlterIWNet memories. Play the game and have fun.

My friend wants to play on my computer with his username. How do I configure his account replacing mine?
Go to the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 installation folder. Find this file - iw4m.ini. Open it with notepad and remove your username and password. Enter your friend's username and passwords there and save and close the file. Now run "Play IW4M (Modern Warfare 2)". Your friend will get his stats there now.
If you want to change the account again, follow the same method and enter your username and password in iw4m.ini.
Okay so this is it. Have fun playing COD MWF2 again. I will be back with more. Until then, kisses and hugs. Buh buye..!
