guys when installing from the CD, it gave me an installscrpit error. so googled, and activated the key, and then tried to install again, it went past the stage of the error, but its not trying to install from steam servers, WTF. i only have a 5Mb connection, so its taking a good few hours, and thats the reason i got it on disc, so i could install from disc. is there anything i can do?
Lol. Just no.
Well, got it today and how many games have I played? None.
Can't get into a single online game, can play it with friends if they invite me to a zombies game but that's it, anything else and it doesn't work. Can't even see games in the server browser. Also had plenty of CTD's.
Giving it a couple of days and if it isn't fixed then I'll be getting a refund. Makes me regret coming back to the game after not buying MW2.
I don't mind a few bugs on release day but come on, these are just fundamental **** ups that just prove they ported it and couldn't be arsed to test it.

I'd doubt it's unoptomised drivers considering this engine was coded by Jesus.

I would like to join in the Steam bashing.
I went to a shop and bought a proper, actual retail copy of this game. I got home, installed it and went to play.

I'm sorry? I want to play a SINGLE PLAYER game which I have bought PHYSICAL MEDIA for and... I cant?
What?

And I thought the whining on the MOh thread was amusing. At least it works.

Did MoH get as many buyers as BO?

It was not as hyped up as much but believe me, I was not thinking of buying MOH then decided to give it a go. 50 hours and counting already.
This happened to me when installing on another comp, when I got to the part where you enter the cd key, steam said it was already activated and that all I needed to do was play from the library.
Which I proceeded to do but it started to download (8gig) from steam. Long story short, I quit the download process, kept steam opened and started the installer from the disk again and it did so.
Hopefully yours will do the same.
omg seriously get a refund .Luckily I missed all these troubles since I was away all day, but apart from one turn off from the server (in which I had a cup of tea) I've been having a blast.
The game feels a lot like CoD4, but with the added bonus of having loads of stuff
loving it atm.
