While the goal is often to preserve the original feel, many Repz MW2 servers run custom variations. You can find "Gun Game" servers, "Infected" modes (before they were officially popularized), and "High Jump" servers that tweak the physics for a fun, casual break from the competitive meta.

The Repz team employs active moderation. Players who cheat are banned from the platform. While no system is perfect, the prevalence of hackers is drastically lower than on the official servers, making the game actually playable for competitive shooter fans.

By using a private master server, RepZ offered a more stable environment with active moderators who could ban hackers more effectively than official anti-cheat systems.
