    Okay I bought BF when it origionally came out, loved it. - Lent it to my mate who broke the second disc. - Pissed him off until he bought me a replacement after about three months. - He installed it onto his PC before giving it to me - Wouln't you know he managed to scratch the exact same dics again!!!

    I've been withough Battlefield for months now so.... Is there anyone from the Drogheda area on her that could lend me disc 2 for an hour, day at max.

    You should try get a program that can create images of CD.(something like Alcohol120%, google it). Then read the disk at 1x and just burn to CD-r if it works. I've recovered a few discs using this method.

    If that doesn't work you could just download another one, assuming you have BB, but I can't tell you how to do that.

    Just contact EA [check their support pages] and provide them with a photo of the CD/Box to prove you actually own a copy and they will send out a replacement disc.

    As he pointed out he originally bought his own copy, and as such would have the cd key from it. His m8 damaged his second cd , so his m8 bought himself a copy and was due to lend him his cd so he could install it, but being the big boob he is damaged it before lending it back.


    So put simply for you :
    2 People , 2 Computers , 2 Licences == Nothing illegal/preventing online play.
