GFWL saying I have already used my key but I havent?! (Just got it)
GFWL saying I have already used my key but I havent?! (Just got Halo 2 for Windows Vista literally 3 hours ago, had trouble installing it and now this?!?!) It says this exactly: "Can't sign in because your product key is not valid. Please enter a valid product key.". I just bought this game off of amazon last night, so it wasn't torrented or anything.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Aj6627 Oh, now that I remembered why I still had the previous post unsubmitted for a few hours, R2D2, that BF3 clip is awesome! I want to go try that now just to see if it actually works well. :P[/quote] It won't. That vid was made solely to attack the March suppression patch. They've reduced suppression quite a bit since then. You'll also noticed that he was using a spec that increases the suppression effect on his, and his squad's, bullets. This effect was absurdly powerful in the last patch, thanks to the already-high suppression effect amount. Also, lol at anyone that uses Metro CQ as an example to try and prove [i]anything[/i]. He should try that in Kharg, Caspian, or Firestorm. [i]Then[/i] I'd be impressed. [Edited on 07.03.2012 4:20 AM PDT]

If you want a couple actually good games, I'd recommend Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield(Gold version is $10 on Steam afaik) for multiplayer, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory(also $10) for single player.

Yeah I had the same problem too. For some reason each time I enter the code that message shows up. My copy is brand new too with xbox live gold.

[url=http://touringnet.co.uk/misc/duskmacnb.png][quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Btcc22 The on-foot combat takes as much skill as CoD; aim in general direction, hold fire down, hope your weapon is better. For a good laugh, see this. That and it was dumbed down to cater for the CoD console market. Edit: You know, it's amusing that the mode the BF3 community refers to as 'hardcore' is what we consider to be a mode for the unskilled (as we'll call them here) in Halo. One shot kills by shooting anywhere in their general vicinity? Brilliant. I'd say that hardcore is equivalent to no shields but let's be honest, it's much worse than that. It's more like no shields, infinite grenades and rocket launchers all in one.[/quote][/url] By the way, I agree with everything Bt has to say here. To make it up to you though: Mac sucks. Halo 2 sucks. LolMLG. KB/M or die. Everyone is just jealous that DusK makes even a walrus feel inadequate. [Edited on 06.22.2012 6:55 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wilis_kid Finally, the Developers have even called their gametype recently introduced to BF3 with CQ as Gun game (COD) instead of Gun master which further implies this.[/quote]You got the names backwards but I'm sure that was a brain fart moment xD Gun game has been a community mod that most contend (As do I) started in Counter-Strike. Later on people brought the mod into multiple other games including the Call of Duty games. As far as I know, the first time it was officially brought into a game by the developer themselves was in Call of Duty: Black Ops. (Yay for pointless history of a mod...)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DusK Uh, what exactly is wrong with BF3?[/quote] As a game, BF3 is fun (albeit broken in some areas). As a BF game, it's been dumbed down and I can't speak for everyone but I do not like the fact that flags are now clustered, the Infantry focused approach, the smaller squads and the lack of a Battlerecorder or Commander. Granted, the Infantry combat is an improvement over older games but it seems like DICE or EA in their war with COD have tried to focus BF3 more on the COD market. Finally, the Developers have even called their gametype recently introduced to BF3 with CQ as Gun game (COD) instead of Gun master which further implies this. Granted, Gun game was in CS (from what i've been told by Syx, new to CS :D) but the fact that the developers shut down the only source of reasonable criticism and suggestions (EA UK "Mordor") shows that they are not willing to hear the older fanbase. Just my personal take on the matter. In my opinion, Battlefield has gone downhill since 2142. The games are still fun, but they aren't very good BF games. As mentioned, the same can be said for Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell. Bungie at least didn't stray from the Halo formula with any of the games which is what i liked about them. Anyways, open for discussion on this at some point but i believe the OP's question has been answered so I won't digress further :) -
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DusK Uh, what exactly is wrong with BF3?[/quote] I didn't say BF3 was bad, just that Ghost Recon is, for the most part, higher quality and in some areas of gameplay (stealth, using teamwork to flank or take objectives, CQC) take a bit more skill. Hell, I love BF3, but I've played the GR series from the beginning and have seen every aspect of its gameplay, and I just have to say that it is (as a series) better than Battlefield. (especially number three) Also there is the whole thing with EA being money grabbing A-holes...

Sometimes zeros look like the letter O and vise versa. It's probably case sensitive so if it looks capitalized it might need to be in capital letters.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dr Syx Did you buy it used?[/quote] This. Halo 2 Vista has a 5 key install limit. It sounds like you bought a used copy with the install key limit being reached. There is no way around this, it's a "feature to enhance gameplay". Unfortunately, your only option is to contact Microsoft and hope that they MAY give you a key, or buy a NEW, unused copy. It is unfortunate, it should clearly say on the box that it has an install limit so issues like this wont happen. Best of luck OP. -
Did you buy it used?
