Ha, ya I am stingy, that's 10 dollars less wasted that I have to spend on another copy of a game I have already and another 10 dollars to either another, more fun game or 2.5-3 gallons of gas, which is more important?

If $2 or even $10 for a new game is out of your price range then may I suggest the Atari 2600 to you. 100 games for $1 at a garage sale.Comment

And actually, 1 DVD/Set of CDs should be for one person only. You can't use the same key for 2 game copies, as that would mean everyone borrowing CDs and no profit to Epic.Comment

Because you are so stingy, so do I believe your computer is an old Commodore 64. You can't play UT2004 on that!

Is that a comeback for practicality? Because it was horrible.If $2 or even $10 for a new game is out of your price range then may I suggest the Atari 2600 to you. 100 games for $1 at a garage sale.
See above.Because you are so stingy, so do I believe your computer is an old Commodore 64. You can't play UT2004 on that!Comment

The way I see it you do not have it already or else this topic would not exist.Originally posted by Shquisk View Post
Besides, it's not 10 dollars we are talking about here! You two shared the price of the first copy you might as well share the price of the second copy, so it's only five dollars. Or you just pay 2 dollars for the shipping from your brother to you. As you shared the price of the game you could also share those two dollars, which would make it just one dollar. All this fuzz over five or ONE dollar?
You cannot download it. If it isn't possible in steam it isn't possible at all. So fact is, if you want to play it you will have to pay for it. This is basically where this topic should end as that decision is yours to make.
No offense.Comment

Sounds good to me. I like how everyone just lead on a simple question asked whereas they just couldn't answer it.
If you're implying I want to find a free version of the game, I laugh at you. If not, just ignore this line.The way I see it you do not have it already or else this topic would not exist.Comment

I wasn't implying you were trying to pirate it. I was saying you act like you have the game although you are lacking a key component: The files! You only have the cd-key. The cd-key alone does not give you the right to download the program unless the publisher says so. You asked if he does, you got the answer he does not.
Personally I lost a DVD of UT2004 too although the box including the cd-key is still here. I bought the game again, not I have 1 DVD and two cd-keys.
No offense was intended, ever.
Here is another possible solution for your problem: There is a program called "hamachi". It's free to download. When installed it creates a fake lan connection. You can create a room in the program then and have someone else join it (works exactly like a chat-room but without the chatting) and then you are in a "lan" with that person although it's completely online. You can basically use this program to create a lan over the net.
You can do this with your brother, have him pop the disc into his drive and giving you lan access to it. I don't think you'll be able to install the game directly from there but I'm pretty sure you can copy the files from there to your own hdd and then install the game from there.
It'll probably take forever to copy over the files but if you have a flatrate there won't be any extra cost.
Worth a try?Comment

I know a download link that provides the installation files. However, I won't provide it for two reasons:
1)It hangs up on BrightPlayerSkins.uz2,
and
2)It's a private file.
So I can't really help you.Comment

If it's all uz2 files he would have to decompress them with UCC first, wouldn't he?Comment

Yeap, not to mention it needs DLLs and other EXEs. But maybe they are provided there, which isn't good (you can get all uz2's on UnrealAdmin anyway).Comment

Thank you for actually helping me instead of talking about how stingy I am
