Three reasons not to buy Black Ops 2 RU outside of Russia

I don’t know about you guys but I’m getting sick of imaginary boundaries on the Internet. First music with iTunes and all that shit, then YouTube and other streaming services all over the world and now more and more software, games and even smart phone apps are region locked. Even more stupid thing is that now they are trying to lock different region locked products to work in that specific region only. I have no idea why everyone seems to think this is ok but the industry should realize people don’t care and will always find a way to get the cheapest possible solution. It might be hard with Black Ops 2 though…

Here are the main reasons not to buy Call of Duty Black Ops 2 RU:

  1. The russian version of Black Ops II will be restricted to playing ranked matches with users of the Russian version only. You will not be able to play ranked online matches with users of the “normal” version of the game, only with other users of the Russian version.
  2. The russian version of Black Ops II will only be able to be launched in Russia.
  3. Even after activating the product via a Russian VPN the game will not be able to be launched through Steam outside of Russia, this is the first time this has been the case for a Call of Duty game and is a new massive restriction, in theory it means that you will only be able to play then game when using a Russian VPN all the time.

So stay away from Black Ops 2 RU if you don’t want any trouble. Also another Call of Duty game – to me it seems like a bad joke although I really liked Call of Duty 2…

    If it honestly bothers you that much then just wait for a cracked copy to come out, check out http://www.nosteam.ro/ they have tons of games and are likely to crack black ops 2 in the future :)

    Probably because of cheap RU keys, but also because most cheaters are from Russia. They cheat, get banned, buy another cheap key and repeat…

      Does that really work with Steam? You can’t activate multiple keys for a single game.
      Well maybe if they start a new Steam account each time they’re banned… Eesh, that would be so much busywork.

      >Playing ranked matches with users of the Russian version only
      That is just… wonderful. Simply wonderful. Thanks for giving me even less incentive to spend time with your game’s multiplayer and buying any of your DLC.

      I may need may annual shooter fix, but I’m not going to pay more than 20$ for CoD.

    IMO this are more reasons to not buy CoD at all, but then again most gamers unfortunately don’t give a sh*t about such things. Sad but true.

    fortunately after disappointment from CoD6, nothing about Call of Money games touches me anymore
