Yep, it's correct you get this error.... Since the official servers are shut down by activision you cannot locate any master servers, as shown on your picture.

What you do is:

1 Click the other multiplayer button
You'll see a few tabs in here including LAN / Direct Connect / Options.

2 Click on Options, and choose your name.

3 Click on Direct Connect.
Now you'll see the tabs:

Add Host Refresh List

4 Copy an IP adress shown in the lobby client (for example my IP = 82.72.107.109)

5 Click on the ADD button

You'll see 2 text lines, one with Name and one with Address.
The name you choose is totaly up to you but the address MUST be the chosen IP.

6 Paste the chosen IP (in example 82.72.107.109)

7 Double click on the new added game.

When you have alot of IP's, and you want to play a game, some times it will happen that when you paste an IP, the new game won't show up. Why? Because you already have it, you can use the refresh list button to check if the IP address is hosting a game.

And also, sometimes IP's cannot be refreshed, I don't know why, but when you refresh the page, it won't update my IP for some reason.

Hopefully this helps you out!

You don't add your own ip, if you want to host your own game click on the host button.
If you want to join other people, use the ADD button and paste THEIR ip address in the address zone.
