I'm having no problems with Steam. As a matter of fact its much better than having to download patches and installing them. Its all quite seemless.

I have had steam several times. And I hate it extremely much.
Have my reasons for it.

So is there a way to get a non steam version?
Because I think about returning this game just because of the Steam Installer.

I'm very surprised you didn't know that COD was using Steam considering all the discussions on this forums and others.

This sucks.

Now steam says : Available: July 19th, 2011
This game will unlock in approximately 2 months, 3 days and 0 hours

I think it got pushed out?!

And yet, there's a patch available today?

What gives?

I was apprehensive about Steam, but (touch wood) its been flawless so far- great for patches too.

Us Europeans and Russians are currently enjoying the Alpha and reporting bugs so you guys get a smoother experience out of the Beta, that's what gives biggrin

I havent had any issues yet with steam but am not a big fan of it....i much prefer the good old days where it was better to buy a hard copy game from a shop then install any patches myself as i see fit and not have steam dictate what i need even if i dont want it....plus if you ever loose your internet connection at a later date for whatever reasons (it does happen sometimes!) then you are screwed with games like CLOD if you wish to install them at a later date or setup on another pc without internet connection etc!....

Today developers have it easy...90% of their sales are digital so no overheads OR unsold games with expensive wasted packaging for them....the downside is the end user is committed to using a service like Steam for life and still has to pay premium prices even without nice dvd cases or boxes!....One reason i dont buy too many games through steam!....sadly digital download and dependency is becoming an evil requirement...funny how CLOD sells its over-hyped Collectors edition and all it does is install the game via steam anyway lol....so in the end its a pointless exercise and you still need internet connection...

All these things are fine when things are running smoothly...but read some of the horror stories of lost/stolen accounts or users being banned from steam and you will soon see how trapped and limited you really are depending on such 3rd party companies such as steam...

No problems with Steam.

I like the auto patching and having games that are long term purchases ready to install and uninstall as I feel fit is a big plus.

Daveb123 just a heads up you can make a back-up DVD (or any other media for that matter) for Steam purchases.
