Does this game require the use of the CD drive beyond installation?

nope, at least not for me. i didn't have to install anything different or download anything else.

Not anymore. Update 1.08 removed the CD check, and Update 1.10 was just released to allow Multiplayer after GameSpy shuts down :)

Typically not without finding a crack somewhere online. Most games require CD authentication unless you are using a platform like Steam or Origin.

No it doesn't. The last update is included on the disc (at least supposedly from what I read). The latest and last update was version 1.9; without this installed the game will most likely be unplayable.

Now that is a good question but i would say no just because it says you need a "hard drive" to play that game/download that game

Yes, i installed all my original games in the hard drive and they run much quicker although you have to insert the origial disc, it thoesn't allow you to play without disc. It is recomended to install all the content because the lasser reader is the first issue that could break

Once I installed each game from the disk, the disk was not needed anymore, if that's what you mean.

The disk only contains data for installation so you don't need to download them from origin (data for updates (so the DLCs), patches are not included in the disk, you will need to download them for installation from origin. The codes from the box are the things you need since you redeem them on origin. Therefore, The codes are what you need to register the game under your origin account. The DISK IS NOT NEEDED to play or even for installation, heck you can even throw it away if you want to.Treat it like a retail steam game nowadays, but with origin.

Yes. The game can be installed and played on Windows 7. However, it may crash often. So save regularly if you want to put up with that.

Yes it comes with a disk, but I still think that's inconsequential because the entire install is done through Steam

No. I have never needed a disc. I use an SD card reader. For editing I use photoshop.

It is Right. After I installed the game on the steam plataform, I never needed to use the disc again. After installed the game on the steam plataform you can play offline or online, both without the disc.

You don't need the CD in computer when you play the game. You can copy the CD in your hard drive, or start game from CD then you can take the CD out while continue playing. Please let me know if any further questions.

Well if you bought it on the system you would not need to buy it. But.. If you downloaded it with a disc you need the copy of the multiplayer/story disc.

Yes, you can use an external CD drive to install software. Are you using a computer without a CD drive?

No the disc installs in ur hard drive it is saved there so no u don't need live just to play it

It comes with a cd that you can load the game off of. According to the booklet you don't have to download it via the cd and can just activate it from steam, but I don't have any experience with that so I'm not sure how that would work out for you.

You don't need the disk.. and its u play instead of steam! You install it with the disk and after you should not need the disk.
