1 "bought keygen" - most ppl would understand that it was a typo, meaning cdkey.. duh (whos ever paid for a keygen (ever! really!)
2 warez is not defined by the lack of the CD (oh no! i lost the discs - now my software has become warez!! ) - whats the difference between me owning the dics and loosing them and my situation now?


my questions again...

1- is it illegal to DL the game and install using my cdkey?
2- what patch do i take it to?
3- should i use the GCW 1.25 no-exe

4- in other words how do i run the game (LOL) - I thought it would be the same for BF2 - its what i did for that game too.

ok - in your opinon its illegal to dl the game if i have original key... i get it. thanks for your help on that one, luckily you repeated it so many times for me - almost missed it. Ill take it up with Ebay and EA - thanks again.

SOOOOOO moving on..........

i can presume that you have no idea how to get the game working if all i have is the key?
k thx all you had to say was NO

@fIVENINE: Enough of this! You broke several forum rules and are unable to drop the topic, even after several warnings. You got two months of holiday; this should surely be enough for you to settle things with the publisher. If and when you come back, make sure to read the forum rules many times carefully...!

He knows he broke the rules Joe but looks like he needs clarifying since he is living with Alice in Wonderland.


1. If you steal a game and use a crack = warez
If you own a game and use a crack = not warez.

2. Your CD-Key? I highly doubt it, now where would Mr Hong Kong guy get the keys from? Shops and copy the keys from the games there to sell later (so whoever buys that copy is screwed - yes you are giving money to thieves)

3. Of course people know how to get the game working, but unfortunately we seemed to developed a mind block when you asked, for the life of me I dont understand why.... Oh yeah you dont own the game and its against the rules.

4. And have some cheese with your whine.


Obviously you cant reply to this post, but because you got caught and you didnt even bother once to read the rules, dont try to turn it around as if it is everyone here's fault when it isnt and its your own stupid fault.

To further explain it:
- To download a game FOR ANY REASON from any illegal site (i.e. NOT a site meant to give you game demos and sell you full games for download) is considered warez on this forum.
- Any game for which you don't have the physical media (i.e. a "digital download" game) is or isn't considered warez... well, this actually doesn't matter at all as you're not allowed to ask for help concerning it on this forum.
- Yes, we jump on the word "keygen", no matter why utterred.
- It is very unwise to push a topic when already two mods told you to stop (and one of them even gave you an infraction).
Of course, everyone should know all these by either applying common sense or simply reading the forum rules (carefully enough), though...
