The disclaimer on their site is rather telling: http://cdkeyshere.com/call-of-duty-b...ps-cd-key.html
Web of Trust doesn't think too highly of the site either. I'd be loathe to put my credit card details through such a website...Quote:
Important Notice: Steam put a region restriction on some Russian cd keys. Because of this, a Russian ip required to activate the key. If you don't have a VPN service, we can activate your key for you. After activation we will send your cd key photo as a proof. Please put your steam id and password as a note while making your order. We sold so many COD MW2 keys in 10 months and never had any ban or suspense problem. But we can't give you a guarantee for this in the future, because we can't know what Steam will do. If you don't want to take a risk, please do not buy this product or use a second steam account to protect your main account.
Sorry you're struggling with the connectivity atomixx, you aren't the only person to have drama with Black Ops. Good luck.
pfft, way too risky

Indeed.
You went and bought dodgy products off of a dodgy site, because you're too damn sideways in your messed-up little mind to properly support the developer.
Most likely you will suffer a terrible ping forever.
I hope you do.
Next we will see you on the forum anyway, moaning and crying like a spanked little girl about being banned for hacking; Only for it to come out later that you paid yet another dodgy site for a dodgy hack.
I suppose thats just how zeff rolls, huh?
bwahahahahhaahahahahahahhaa... what hole did that dude crawl out of roflmao :p
ISP's eventually came to an agreement, except for the fact that latency every now and again isnt the best, but hell it's certainly improved since when things first took off. :)
Nah dude, ever heard the saying "goedkoop koop is duur koop?"
I feel no sympathy for someone who is, um, naive enough to buy anything from from Russia, let alone a CD key for a game. The key might be a real COD key, but that doesn't mean it is legal. Where do you think they got those keys? Do you really believe that they were obtained legally from a recognised vendor? Really, honestly believe that?
I realise this is off topic, but seeing as how we have established that you are wrong in your accusations regarding the peering issue, I now feel the need to go on about your buying habits. You are probably the kind of guy who buys a TV or cell phone second hand, despite the previous owners' blood still being visible on it. And don't tell me it is any different, because I'd wager those keys are just as stolen. But hey, you keep living in your little naive, secluded little world where the Easter Bunny exists and Father Christmas lives in the North Pole with his Elves. Maybe one day your mommy and daddy will find the time to explain these things to you.
