Modern Warfare 2 Downloading and not using install CD
There has been an early reported issue with the install of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It seems that when you first try and install the game steam forces you to download from their servers. WHAT? Why do they try and make you download instead of install from CD… I sure don’t know why. They give you two CD’s in the pack.
Anyway,
The solution is simple.
- First put disk one into the drive, and go through the install process.
- Next cancel the download of the large 10Gb file.
- Re-enter the disk back into the drive, this time selecting re-install
- Run through the setup process once again. This time it should install from the CD instead of downloading.
- Complain to steam for general stupidity on their part.
