The game simply doesn't support dedicated servers anymore despite promises. They went their way out to remove the support completely and replace it with a P2P matchmaking system.

just realised the discs inside have the BBFC rating on them not the PEGI rating which proves they are UK discs so it looks like they have just put the UK discs and UK booklet in a non UK case. So I guess the "non for sale in UK" is nothing to worry about after all !

no dedicated servers, no lean, no mods, 9v9 max per 'server'.

Understatement of the year

.

I'm still buying the game as the Single player can be played over and over (if they include the Arcade SP campaign). I'll try the MP out but I've not got high hopes for it.

It might not work, im sure steam have a strict policy with activating foreign games

If thats the case they will be getting an awful lot of (unsaleable) returns.

Indeed, just spotted that myself. Although it is worth pointing out that the UK uses PEGI instead of BBFC now.

I'm guessing that most people on here are aware about the release activation date, so I can't see what your point is in that regard - it's no different to if you could preload it via Steam beforehand - you'd still have the content but not be able to play it until the day of release.

But he bought the game its been posted to him but he cant play it, people can on consoles, PC games being 1984 yeah?

Youre 1/5th of the way through then. Hah, sorry dont mean to be cynical, be interested to hear how MP is, given its such a hot topic at the mo.

Mine was also ok and also played the first few missions last night. Even if the single player is short so far I am enjoying it and more than likely will have a 2nd or 3rd play through on a harder setting.

Not even touched the MP yet.

check out the multiplayer! I bet it's fine.

Tried putting in the disks and running the setup from them? That's what I did, it installed from the disks that way. Otherwise it will take ages as it is 10GB+.

Steveo1982 · 10 Nov 2009 at 16:12

When i installed mine I closed the steam client and installed from disk which then updated steam, activated the cd key then installed from the cds.

Not sure about yours mate.
