alanschu Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Direct2Drive allows you to re-download the game whenever you want. When you purchase the game, it becomes part of your account. You have unlimited access to the file and the CD-key. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you have a CD-Burner, you can also burn the installer so you won't have to redownload the whole thing every time as well.
Bokishi Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I re-installed Battlefield 2 tonite (God knows why..) and me and my cousin got our respective butts kicked as usual. I'm horrible at these types of games. Now I need to go and dominate in a RPG to get my self esteem back <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What happened to the Obsidian server matches? Well, if you need someone to beat up on, let me know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> J.E. got rid of that looong ago. Current 3DMark

So you could just reinstall from the CD?

alanschu Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 How can I save my download to cdrom? Once you have downloaded the file you are welcome to save it for later on a cdrom. Save yourself time downloading again. Remember, each time you install and activate the game you are deactivating the previous license. Install wisely!
Bokishi Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Cool, though they probably should be saying burn to DVD, since the files are so massive. Current 3DMark

Darque Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Just finished Winter Assault... kind of a letdown... I mean come on... 5 missions? At least the Necrons at the end were a mild challenge.
Krookie Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I'm still working on Raising Money For The Trip To Disney World At The End of the Month or RMFTTTDWATEOTM.
Bokishi Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Right now I'm waiting for Prey, it's going to be released this tuesday (w00t) Current 3DMark

Calax Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 disorder is funner in terms of lines and what you have to do some times... like take possession of guardsmen and use their sacrifice to summon a bloodthirster. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Darque Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Hmmm.... I think I'll revisit the game then... I had tried some skirmish battles, but it's just not the same

Darque Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I don't know why... but I'm suddenly reminded of that Cthulhu game... I really need to track that down... Hopefully Ebay has a copy... the local EB's pc section is down to new releases <_<
alanschu Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Lost my business. I usually install on my Desktop and Laptop. Sometimes I share with my siblings. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, you aren't technically allowed to share with your siblings anyways. Nor are you technically allowed to install on two computers. If that's a deal breaker for you, then I guess that's that. Naturally they have to try to do something to stop outright piracy. It does come with the added benefit (for the most part) of not coming with the "malware" that people hate such as Starforce. The other alternative is the "limited download" paradigm that some online resellers use. Trymedia for instance, limited me to 5 installs with my licence for Eastside Hockey Manager. At first I hesitated, but then I figured that by the time I used up all 5 of my installs, I'd have likely gotten my $20 worth anyways (and I did...after 1 install). Still have 3 installs left. EDIT: Is this the Cthulhu game you were looking for? Edited July 10, 2006 by alanschu

It makes more sense to me to do two installs and shuffle the discs around. It's not like we're both playing the game at the same time anyway. EDIT: Bok I don't usually have a disc in the drive anyway. It kills the drive's longevity and it's a major power drain on my laptop. My conscience is clean, all my games are legit, but I generally use NoCD cracks. Edited July 10, 2006 by Fenghuang RIP
alanschu Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I just figured I'd point it out As for the DVD in the drive, that doesn't actually bother me...until I can't find said DVD.

It makes more sense to me to do two installs and shuffle the discs around. It's not like we're both playing the game at the same time anyway. That's what you'd have to do with the DD version. Obviously the convenience of the disc is still higher. If that's something you value, then DD isn't for you.
