Hey - that's not fair! One of them is actually a 'Consumer Preview'




..for Battle for Moscow.



I haven't tried the Win8 thing, but I bet it's something to do with CloD using .NET so much. Lots of other games seem to work well. If I were going to get it to work I would certainly look at 'pinning' the version of .NET that comes with the game rather than the newer 'beta' version that perhaps comes with Win8. You can do that using an file.exe.config (called a manifest files) and specify the run-time in there).

Either that or it's a permissions model fiddle again, and something isn't completed correctly with the install. Maybe run Steam as 'Admin' and try it again - that's what I would do.

Must be because I'm a sucker or punishment, I mean, I did buy CoD after reading the RU reviews... At least Win8 is free. I do like the new way it handles windows, everything looks so much cleaner with no maximize/minimize buttons, no menu interference, but the interface itself is a bit clunky trying to use a mouse. Will try to hook my Kinect, as I've heard its supported now, but not really sure about how I'll like that.

Windows 8 is not really a beta it is a customer preview and it work s for most of the things but I could not, not try COD on it and I try in the XP or Windows 7 compatibility and administration rights but nothing too correct the fact that the does not launch itself. But it is not important. The final version of Windows 8 is for the end of 2012.
