Where can some like me buy COD 5 WAW to install and play on our servers? And while I am at it I am looking for COD4 MW as well.

After finding out the Steam WAW won't play as multiplayer I need to ask about COD4. I bought both of them so I would always have them. I have had to move quite a bit in the past and lost both copies. There is another way but not sure if it's really legal or not. I will have to wait till my next check to order the CD versions of each game but thats okay. I used to hear of people stealing the game via pirate methods. I am not really a fan of this so I will probably buy the C's and wait till they come in. Unless I can still fix COD4.

Okay I juswt finished searching my room and I found a CD but no key NO#.

I have to do some looking in my room for the game.

The Steam version of COD5 will not work in multiplayer.  It will tell you to create an online profile and then it will just error out or some such.  I found this back when I came back to COD5 a couple of years ago.  I couldn't find my CD/key, so I purchased the game on Steam and figured all would be okay.  No.  Did not work.  Googled.  Yup, it's a known thing.  Contacted Steam for a refund on the basis that I wanted to play online and the game is, for whatever reason, unable to do that.  A refund was issued.

Thankfully I found my CD key, but not the CD itself.  @Merlin007, you may recall sending me an iso of the COD5 disk.  I installed from that iso, entered my valid CD Key, and (after installing all the updates) was back up and running.

If you do not at least have your original CD Key, I don't know how to get you around this, Dean.  I was lucky enough to have located my Key.  I have it stored in my password manager, along with many other activation keys, in a "secure note".

 

Can I use your headset to listen to that music you have there? I guess I am gonna have to look a little deeper or find a new CD with it on it.

I am using Steam Digital version!  Sorry, I just now saw your response.

I used to do this kind of things all the time, but time has not been kind to my memory. If you can help, then we can do this. 1st, my game is a Steam generated copy. That makes the workarounds different. I need exact work for work things I need to do as my retention level has vastly shrunk! You either need to write it all down and don't assume I can remember as I once did. I would very much appreciate your help.  The other option is use Discord or something where its workable with us both. Let me know when the best time for you will be and I for the most part am available every day except Tuesdays.

So is there another work around for this? There use to be. But I played this game with a cd back in the day. I misplaced the number to open it so I bought this copy!

Dean,

Patches can be found in the Downloads section but here are the links. Install them in this order. There's a patch in the downloads listed as 1.2-1.3 but is not needed so don't install it.  Also no need to reboot every time, just install them in order.

Patch 1.0117

Patch 1.2

Patch 1.2-1.4

Patch 1.4-1.5

Patch 1.5-1.6

Patch 1.6-1.7

These patches are non-compatible with the digital WAW

Do they have BlueTooth?

Not at this moment. All my headsets are broken because they are too small.

what is it patched to? make sure to restart game after each patch.

Can you link me to the updates, please? You are a blue-eyed beauty!!!

I try to log-in to WAW and it spins a bit then quits. Any ideas what to do about this?

Remember I wear hearing aides

Let me explain. I am what is refered to as a human where all parts are not proportionate. I got a Turtle Beach set from my XI friends a few months ago but true to my physical disorders I broke them putting on my gigantic head. I can't find hats or anything pre-sized to fit me.. The material used these days are paper thin plastic to make these things out of so they break as my head is so huge I have to stretch then where they go on, then break. I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for something outside of the norm where they stretch out like the WANTED me? Please help me, I don't need anything fancy or spendy.

I thought so TY sir

With Cod4 from steam I found the easiest way was to install Cod4x

Copied from a Steam forum

Edit : Don't click the links in the comments, this is for windows only, you do not need to manually download any files

1) Install CoD4 from steam
2) Launch multiplayer
3) Enable console in settings
4) Open console with Tilde (`) key
5) Manually connect to any C4S server by typing one of the following commands into the console

/connect 178.33.157.21:28958
or

6) The required files will download and you will be prompted to downgrade your version, click yes to any box that appears

I been out a long time but how do I enable tide

I bought it from STEAM and I need to check to make sure I installed it from Steam for both COD4 and COD5-WAW. How do I do this per each game?

I've had that issue with the PC app before. I believe going to the website Welcome to Steam (steampowered.com) and resetting my password there worked.

worked like a charme

I am working hard to get back in WAW 5 and MW 4 COD4. I have my games with them at steam, but what with the new/old pc blowing up, I have had to reset everything. At first, my password didn't work. Now, the captcha thing does not recognize me as a live person. This happened the last time I went there to play, a few short years ago. I got the equipment I needed now I can't log in my STEAM account. I have my phone connected, and I still cannot log in. Anyone out there that can help me or advise me what to do?

I've been using this one for years playing CoD5. Love it. Comfortable and adjustable. Similar to the old BelkinN52 I used to have.

Thanks Painsponge I may have to wait but that looks good
