Call of Duty World At War (COD 5) question

PrOdiGy1 · 29 Dec 2008 at 22:17

hey guys. just wondering if i buy this 2nd hand, will i still be able to play online? basically i am trying to find out if it can be registered and played again by someone else after the initial install.

got it lined up at the moment in MM but don't want to commit to buying it and find i can't play the main feature!

Tbh, i wouldn't, there are some people who would buy it, note down the key and make an ISO of the disk then trade it in down the local store :/

Best bet for online would be brand new

Hmmm

Well it depends if you have the persons trust, because if they are using the illegal one online, it will prevent you from gaining access to the game

I don't think the issue here is whether the vendor would pull a fast one but whether you can actually register the game for online play under another name.

I was under the impression that the key is registered to an online account when you first set it up and you can't subsequently register the same key under another account.

cheers for responses guys. as i cannot really find out any info (other than the helpful responses in this thread) i think i will err on the side of caution for this one and give it a miss.

he/she could still play online with the key if they have it.thing is it would show up in the account bits.

yeah i cancelled the offer. to be honest, i am not really keen on ww2 games, which is why i am not willing to pay anywhere over £20 for it. i just wanted to play with my gaming squad mates again!
