For CoD WaW, from my vantage point, the big issue is that they no longer issue valid cd keys (12 key code that used to be printed on little paper manual with a physical game). If you download the game on steam, you will still have the problem (they don't give you a valid key). So, I recently set up a couple games on different machines (for my kids) by just buying physical copies on ebay (that came with the valid cd keys). They hadn't been used before... I wasn't sure if a used copy/key would work, so I just bought them still in their original plastic wrap. Patched them up to the correct level and they both work great. Hope this helps.

so you are saying i have to purchase codes?

If you don't have a valid code, you would need to purchase/get one. If you have a good code from a previously purchased game, it should still work. Have you played using a physical CD or steam in the past? If you have a game installed on your computer the code is stored in your system registry. You can use google and ask, "Where is my Call of Duty World at War cd key saved in my system registry?" I've had to do this when fixing problems. Do you have the game? Is it installed on your computer? Do you have/can you find a good cd key? Those are the big questions...
