Anyone else receive COD:MW2 today?

Yea mine also says not for sale in the UK. Hmmmm not impressed cos if it wont work then Ill have to send it back.

Edinho · 7 Nov 2009 at 14:12

Its probably due to not having UK certificate rather than the key. It was cheap(er) and not really surprised they cut corners.

craig3000 · 7 Nov 2009 at 15:23

Nah I'm sure it will work, you guys just have to wait till they unlock it on STEAM

BoozerDawg · 7 Nov 2009 at 15:26

Yup mine arrived, same place as you guys, also with the "Not for sale in UK" bit. Guess we just have to wait until Tuesday for Steam to unlock this

thecremeegg · 7 Nov 2009 at 15:40

I got it from the same place, it'll work fine I'm sure - theres a reason it's cheap

I got my BF2 from a similar site and it was foreign, still worked fine

HAz · 7 Nov 2009 at 15:41

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

haha not only do you get shafted on content but even if you have the game legit you cant play it till Tuesday

Squark · 7 Nov 2009 at 15:52

But that's the release date :confused:

Similar sort of situation, gutted if you bought from coolshop :\, guess you've got to hope for the best.

not for sale in uk does not mean it won't work in the UK. If it did not work in the UK and this was not stated on the item it would be illegal.

Its like multipack diet coke saying "not to be sold individually" doesn't mean the can won't open if its sold individually.

Content? what?

Multiplayer is limited to 9v9, no dedicated servers and you get a lag pause if someone leaves game.

Modern Warfare 2 CD-Keys If you attempt to activate the game before the retail release date, you will receive the message "Invalid CD Key". You will be able to activate your CD Key on the retail release date, currently set for November 10th.

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.

mysticsniper · 7 Nov 2009 at 18:17

Mine copy is waiting for me at home. Am gutted that I will have to wait till the 11th.
