    I picked up the game for my new laptop but it won't accept the game code saying its invalid what could be the problem? I'm using the code on the back of my game manual.

    try putting disc in and going to my computer and right clicking on the disc in your drive and run as administrator.
    even if you are set as administrator i had to do this for bbc2 and medal of honour for them to load. no idea why. all 30 other games load without a problem.

    also talking about cracks on here is against forum rules.

    So, I guess the best thing to do would be contact EA. Do you think I could do this via email for a new code sense mine won't work..

    It's not as active as, say, Modern Warfare 2, plus the use of dedicated servers means that a lot of times there are a ton of empty ones.

    Use the Saiga and get in close. It rewards people with weak aiming skills.

    Or you could just go straight Carl Gustav and hope you don't get server kicked.
