Lan games and cd keys

SO, I want to invite some friends over to see how cool OFP is. I have two machines with OFP/Resistance installed, using the same CD.

The only other alternative is to buy another copy. Don't using the NOCD crack. FADE will kick in and it ruins the game, as designed. "<span id='postcolor'>

Can I have both machines on a LAN game and not get FADE? Can I use the Resistance CD in one machine and the original OFP CD in the other?

BTW, I can't believe they are using this over-zealous copy protection. I bought HalfLife 3 years ago, only because I was able to try multiplayer with some buddies. I would never have known about the game if HalfLife didn't let you get 5 people on one CD key. It's good marketing to let us get other gamers involved!

I agree, it stinks OFP doesn't let you have at least two players on the same LAN with 1 copy.

If both machines are using the same install key, you will get fade - No-cd crack etc. etc. are irrelevant.

And you cannot use the OFP and RES cd's to overcome this AFAIK.

Now, I'm outta here before this gets lockes as a warez thread.

You could download the MP demo and play it on as many systems as you want...
