So..that´s a problem my friend. Maybe you could look on cover, or under cover, look on case, sometimes is serial key on the disc. But if not.. and if you haven´t manual.. yo can´t play. I´m sorry about that.

Shouldn't have done that, man.

It might not be a legit DVD. It might be a disk that someone burned themself. That being said, usually it asks for the original disk in most situations I'm not sure about this one. NEVER buy used PC games especially if you plan on playing multiplayer. But hey, at least it was only $3. Consider it a lesson learned!!!

Oh, kinda sucks for you man. I bought black ops, black ops 2 and mw3 by a place here that is almost the same as walmart. Is there any instruction book in your case? If it is, the code is behind it. So not.. you got basically scammed. Sorry my dude.

I don't think it was pirated or anything like that. I think it was just that the person who gave it to the thrift-store being mischievous and the store, being unknowing, re-selling it. It's very common for that sort of thing to happen--and a pirated disc is usually pretty obvious to detect.

In the manual, there's always a registration code. I know this especially for Black Ops. I got a physical copy for PC when it first came out (although I didn't have a PC that could run it), and there was a verification code on the back side of the manual.

Yea, your probably right. If someone working at a thrift store is not a gamer, they probably don't know that once a pc game is used, that games cd-key is registered to someones online account for that game making the game useless in most cases. And even if the game was not registered yet, if they buy it without the cd-key included its useless as well. But to the original person who started this thread, you can still play the games single player campaign if your willing to get a file or two from a certain site and copy over the original games files with the ones you downloaded. I'm not saying you should do this nor am I advocating for anyone to ever do this I'm just telling you, it can be done. I have to be careful how I word that for obvious reasons.
