This is the right thread for this;



As far as the game itself goes? It's interesting. I played the beta for about 2hrs, thought it had potential, but sadly all potential was lost as soon as I realised the flawed nature of the game; it relies on effective teamwork. You can't just run'n'gun, going for frags, you have to work together to accomplish objectives and take down the bases - and further teamwork to hold them.

That's just not possible with the online demographic that is prevalent these days. All most of those assholes want to do is score frags, thereby ruining the game for the rest of the players.

Ah well, good idea ruined by the fact that online players are selfish dickweeds.




.... I was tired this morning, posted ^^ that in the Raven Squad thread (People must have thought I was nuts...)

Klans, take a look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Games_for_Windows_titles

Games are sorted by year, and you can see which are Live (you need a Live game, not a regular Games for Windows title).

That was a useful link. Smile


I bought the retail version of DoW2 and the key is only for activating on steam, not for GFWL. (ie. it's not a GFWL key)
It uses steam for key checking + downloading & applying patches, GFWL is only there for the online game-matching and saves system.

I got myself a copy of Universe at War pretty cheap instead just for playing GTA4 & SF4 online, will use the same key to play Section 8 online when it comes out too. Very Happy

You're wrong Razz

The retail version of Dawn of War 2 uses G4WL, the key and the system itself, but it's a Steam title and gets patches from there. I know this because;

A. I have it.
B. I have registered the game via G4WL using a The Club key.
C. If you buy the game via Steam, you can rclick>view key on the game entry in your Steam list and use THAT key to activate it via G4WL.


Leo, remember Valve's screw up with the beta keys for DOW2 and how everyone was using them for G4WL? Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

hmm... that was weird. From what I remembered the game only ask me to enter the key in Steam and it didn't ask me for anything in GFWL.
Me and my friend both got the retail version of DoW2 and we're 100% sure that the DoW2 retail key does not work in other GFWL games (tried GTA4 & SF4, both doesn't work)... Rolling Eyes
If it worked I wouldn't have bought UaW...lol

Yep Very Happy But these were revokable. I'm still using the same ol` key from The Club which was my test to see if MS are as retarded as I thought they were. Laughing

All G4WL keys are interchangeable Very Happy I can use any G4WL key to activate Dawn of War 2 and, if you buy it via Steam, you can use that key on any other G4WL game, hehehe.

Ah so I guess the only DoW2 key that works on other GFWL games is the Steam version of DoW2, not the retail version. Rolling Eyes Damn that was confusing. Razz

Why? One key = WIN for all games Laughing


Actually... that's not entirely accurate any more. One key now has limited activations Wink I found this out the hard way recently. My old "The Club" key no longer activates ANY games because it's been used so much. I had to get a new key. My new one has activated five games so far, but I know it's gonna be used up eventually.

Any games ALREADY activated will continue to work, but if you reinstall or try to re-activate them with the same key? Error message Sad


I've been using a key from a different game for a while now and have used it only on a couple of titles, so I'm just wondering how many activations/games you reckon you have gotten away with before the caught on?

Or did it just start to happen with the latest live update? Just trying to figure out what the "limit" on activations might be.

"Back then" I used my The Club key to activate six games, I gave the key to a few friends who also activated a bunch of games. As a guesstimate, I'd say around 20 activations.

When I went back to England, I installed SF4 to play with my brother - and when I tried the key it complained about "too many activations" or some such.

I've since acquired a new key and that has activated four games, going to try it on S8 when it comes out later next week.

Even if it will stop working at the fifth-sixth game it's not that bad for an only key Very Happy
My old one activated 11 GFWL games, but I guess it won't work anymore with the "new" system..
