My friend got BF2 and installed it and everything. He can play single player mode and can get access to join the servers but when he tries to join a server, it says that he has a "Invalid CD key." I told him to uninstall and reinstall and they did but still didn't work. Anyone know what to do?
Did he buy the game? Or 'acquire' it?
Did you install this game on more than one computer? one CD key per COMPUTER, so yea.
Maybe it was the one in a million chance that a CD key was already used by a key generator. Or the factory was retarded enough to misprint the CD key.
Should be in Battlefield 2 > Help forum, but it's alright.
