    Few Questions About Battlefield

    I'm supposed to buy Battlefield 2 this Friday and I was wondering, is there any CD-key required for online play? I just came from Warcraft III and it requires a CD-Key for online play. I was just wondering because I want to be able to install it into my cousin's laptop so I can play it then, then install it on my computer and play it there. Is there going to be any problem with this?

    Thanks in advanced.

    You can install the game on as many computers as you want AFAIK. However, you can only play online with the CD key on one computer at a time.

        At least you didn't come from World of Warcraft.

            Is this possible to play on one computer in single player and on the second computer the on-line game. Is this limited to login in account server(i mean to login on 2computers, 2 different accounts and with 1 CDKEY) or to play on-line?

                You're going to need the CD to play so just one computer at a time. I'm not sure what checks are in place for logging in, but I have seen 2 people playing with the same IP address both get booted for "duplicate GUID" a number of times. Clearly it was friends or family using the same copy twice on two computers on the same server.

                  @Gen.Vlade: Heh, I quit that a while ago.

                  @J0rd4n999: Hmm? I could of sworn that they said that Battlefield 3 was coming out in 2008. That's what I've heard, I could be wrong.

                    And when you get sick and tired of BF2, download Project Reality

                      You can definately run one copy on two machines using one for SP and one MP. Local games will work too.

                        Yeah, no problems with installing BF2 on more than one computer with the same CD-Key. Unless you want to play online at the same time on two computers with one CD-Key, that won't work.

                          I had it on my pc, and when 2 windows xp accounts were logged on, it said there was a cd key issue..... so watchout for that.

                              xD, only 2 1/2 years late, but don't worry about it. Everybody except EA still support it :P.
