Actually, it is not secret. I believe that there is a thread somewhere how to find it...
Not that I know of maybe in the old version of the game? or you are thinking of nightmares tools to host or his thread but they don't tell you how to find it

There are a few ways that has been used before:
The one we discovered in MW3 was to change max players needed in the lobby to start the game.
The other was to find a game setting (dvar) to change the game mode to private match, and when the intermission timer goes you change it to a public one. (Allowing you to change settings and such for the game as it were a private match, but you gain xp and such)
Also there's a "force host dvar" if I don't recall wrong.
-And some are able to use the game console to start the game as host (as done in MW2 with a tool many used to mod game matches)
This is found by using tools like IDA and others. I've just used IDA
