    If so, it's obviously not at launch. COD1, 2, and 4 are on Steam, but because 5 is developed by Treyarch instead of Infinity War, Steam probably doesn't have a contract with that developer.

    I just like it cause I don't have to worry about discs, or losing CD keys etc.

    plus i like how it organizes all ur games into one place and stuff.

    They would have offered a pre-order months ago if they were carrying it.

    garandhero.

    reviews are mainly not out yet because its a suprise, that game is actually better than cod4..

    in fact the graphics in some areas look pretty **** close to crysis calibur if not better :)

    download the game or buy the game, and simply add a shortcut to your steam folder :p

    then it will show up with the rest of your games :)

    Yes it does look quite amazing, and I really wanna get it. But I dont wanna get it less its on Steam because I always lose disks.. I could add the icon to Steam but that doesn't add it digitally to the library so if I lose the discs I am still in trouble.


    I am actually very irked now that its not on STEAM bummer. I think they'll lose a fairly good chunk of $$ because of it, considering COD4 sold more copies on STEAM than anywhere else.. its surprising they aren't doing a STEAM release and frankly disappointing.

    It is on steam, kinda, if you look at the coming soon section it says "November 2008" so not exactly sure what that means.
