    Basically i went and brought COD4 yesterday and installed it on my laptop but my cousin wants to install it and play it on his PC too. So is this possible, as were both using the same CD-key or will only I be able to play the game?

    Thx for ur time

    Only one of you will be able to play it online, you cant both play online at the same time as it is using the same cd key.

    However singleplayer you can both play at the same time provided one of you is using a crack on their installation.

    LAN wise I think you can play multiplayer together on lan with only one cod4 copy although im not too sure

    As I said before it will work(provided you use a crack on one of the installation) but not if you want to play multiplayer at the same time
