    Hey,

    I am thinking of getting MoH off someone... Was wondering do I have to pay for online and do I still get the old frontline game if he has activated the code? If I have to pay how much will it be?

    Thanks,
    John

    Why would you have to pay for online?

    If he's all ready used the code you won't unlock the free online extras. But Frontline is just an install from the disk so you'll get that.

    Nowadays EA especially make settings so you get one code per copy of the game for online... So if you sell it on the person who gets it has to pay money to get online again... It's a way for EA and that to make more money... I think I heard this was the case with MoH but I do not know..

    You get 7 days for free online with EA, Frontline is on the disk but needs to be installed but doesn't require a code.

    Make sure you download the updates for it fixes the few issues it had at release.

    Enjoy its a brilliant game i cant understand all the bad reviews it gets.

    You're not missing much tbh , single player is copy / paste of every other cod or bf etc etc in the last 18 months or so only not that good or even challenging. I finished it on the hardest setting in 2 nights, and I suck at these games.

    The multiplayer actually kept my interest for the other 3 nights I had it on rental, wasn't the usual amount of muppets you get in MW2 for example. That said the hit boxes are bloody massive I was able to pistol shot guys from half way accross the map :pac:

    You do get some days grace to play online so it's worth the 5 or 6 euro to rent but not to buy, if you do buy it pay 20-25 for it new , thats what it eas going for in argos a few weeks back.

    I might be wrong, been a while since I was in GAME(Square), but I think they have stickers on some second hand games telling you to ask about online content.

    I've read through this thread and I actually haven't found the answer??

    If I buy the game second hand can I play online? If not, how much do you have to play in order to play online??

    If you buy the game second hand there are two possible outcomes

    1. The previous owner didnt activate the code (quite possible as you can play for free for 7 days and MOH got traded in quite quickly in the first week or so)
    If this is the case you can then use the code to play online for free but the only way to find out is to buy the game and try the code.

    2. The previous owner did use the code and as such the new owner will get the first 7 days to play online but then they will need to buy an activation code which costs 10euro's.

    There's not much difference so.....

    buy it new €35

    buy it second hand €25 (plus €10) for the online code.
