Battlefield 2 Newb help

[Muji-FightR]

1. There is a NoCD.
2. You can use a mini image, which will even work with Multiplayer.
3. If you want to backup the DVD itself use Alcohol 120 choosing SafeDisc 3 as copyprotection and burn it.

Did this help ?

It didn't help me as I don't know much about this stuff. I do have nero and made an image of my CD and mounted it in a virtual drive but it didn't work. It asks for the cd to be inserted. I just want to use Nero's virtual drive and mount my cd in it so I don't have to put it in and out to play and kids won't scratch it up. I have seen the images on this site, but they talk about renaming stuff so you don't get blacklisted. I have the store copy, just want to preserve it and use it in a virtual drive.

I use a mounted mini-image with Battlefield 2 online so I can help you with that.

I have never been able to reliably do a 1:1 backup...so I just keep my original discs in MINT shape by only ever using them for an install and then put them back in their case and up onto the shelf.

First, download and install Daemon Tools 3.47:

Then download the BF2 mini CD image and extract it somewhere:
http://dl.gamecopyworld.com/?d=2005&f=blhbf2mi!rar

Double-click the Daemon Tools icon on your desktop (or run it from the Start menu) if it isn't already running. Then right-click the tray icon and select 'Virtual CD/DVD-ROM', then 'Device 0', then 'Mount Image'. Then browse to where you extracted the mini-image and select it. Close Daemon Tools.

Run BF2 without the CD

..and because some child thinks this has ANYTHING to do with pirated/copied/borrowed versions of BF2...

This method works only if you have a valid, legal, purchased version of the game with CD key (like I do) to play online.

If you don't own your own copy, this will NOT work other than to give you the opportunity to play with lame bots in single player mode.

i have my full version thank you...
and so if i wouldve have lost my CD i would have come here rather then giving EA an extra 50 pounds!

That is NOT what you meant with Splinter Cell...you even admitted that you were trying to use your FRIEND'S copy.

Which is something else altogther, i.e. ILLEGAL.

Read the rules, and then read some of our threads...you'll get it...eventually.

Let me clarify what has been said....


When you buy a game, the EULA (which you agree to before installing) states one copy of the game PER machine.

You cant go halfers with your mate and decide you both own it. It is illegal.

If your so confident it isnt, why didnt you goto the developers forum and ask there? I am sure they will tell you exactly the same thing with an added "Dont steal our game"

I would bet my life that you could recite the whole EULA by memory
