Hey, sorry if this kind of thing has been posted before, but ill keep it short, is there a way to host your own server? i want to host a private server so i can teach a friend of mine how to play (they're new to most FPS games) For a bit of context, I "hosted" a server but it never showed up in the server browser in game by going to singleplayer, connect to test server, abort, that got me to the server browser, then from there the host button, but it never showed up for them.
