And they won't give me a new one.

The one printed on the damn case is INCORRECT. The installer won't take it.

Where'd you buy it? Maybe you could just say it didn't run right and they'd exchange it for you?

!!!ww, so I'm not the only one :Q

I had to take my 1st one back to wal-mart for the same reason. It took an hour arguing with the manager, and I finally talked him into installing it himself for proof before he let me swap them.

Nah, I'll just return it. EA doesn't need my money. They prove this again and again - their CD keys don't work, their copy protection prevents me from legitimately using their software, etc.

And then - and then, I shall pirate it. So I'll miss out on online play - oh well. I hate multiplayer.

if you hate multi, why did you buy BF1942? single player is a waste of time in that game.

Anywhere, if you argue long enough and bring a clearly legible printed screenshot of the installer rejecting the CD key.

Was going to play it at an upcoming LAN. Now I'm gonna be playing C&C95. Much better game, even though it requires a few hoops to play under WinXP.

great multi-player, though. Early last year I played it about non-stop, for months on end...
