My System

call of duty, and alot of other games like it, require a large number of ports to be opened.

mechwarrior 3 requires more than 300 ports to be opened.

i don't know how many call of duty requires, but i can tell you that on alot of games, it's a ton easier to set your self up on the "DMZ" or "virtual DMZ" than it is to manually enter all these port values to the forward list.

however, you might not be able to talk anyone into doing all the work to type them in, and alot of admins will flat out refuse to set you up on a DMZ of any kind.

i myself run DMZ'ed in my router, for mechwarrior.
i'd rather just use zonealarm anyhow.

but, a google search should let you on to the number of ports that will need to opened for call of duty, and you might luck out, and find it's only a few.
