General

Ports in use

Hardware/Bandwidth Requirements

Bandwidth and server resource usage should be lower than that of COD2 in most situations, but it is not guaranteed. There are some situations where bandwidth usage may spike, and the server will get hit harder resume writing service than usual. Generally, if you're capable of hosting a COD2 dedicated server you should be just fine for COD4.
