    Ok first off, i'm not trying to play any pirated games, all of the following games I own, but being deployed to Iraq, it would be easier to not have to carry around the CD's everywhere. Some of the games I would like to be able to play without CDs are Crysis, Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, Company of Heros, Call of Duty 4 SP. Thanks!

    I think you can rip them to image files, then mount the images using virtual drives. I'm not really a gamer, but I've done this using Slysoft's mounting software for Blu-ray discs. I'm sure one of more informed colleagues can chime in hear with regards to games. Good Luck in Iraq.

    IDQ, does this work on games like Battlefield 2 where Punkbuster checks your cd?

    As this kind of threads always take an illegal direction I'm closing it down.

    The site that was suggested a few post above and I edited it out basically contains NoCd cracks. If you use such cracks you automatically violate the EULA of any game even though you paid for it.
