SUPPORT: Activision Support reporting for duty!

I: Hi

SUPPORT: hi

I: I have a question about BO2

SUPPORT: How can I help?

I: I live in Belarus (BY). Two weeks ago I have bought BO2 through STEAM. I have version 14548: Call of Duty - Black Ops II Pre-Order.

I: My friend lives in Russia (RU). Recently he has bought BO2 through STEAM. He has version 17248: Call of Duty - Black Ops II Pre-Order (RU).

I: 1. Whether we can play together?

I: 2. Whether I can to play with my friends from the USA and the Western Europe?

SUPPORT: You shouldn't have any problems with playing with your friends, there is nothing that I am aware of that would prevent it. I really can't make any promises until the game is out and we know more about matchmaking, but it hasn't been an issue before.

I: The Russian version is restricted

SUPPORT: Usually those restrictions are just for campaign content, but I can't say for sure yet, sorry Yuri.

I: http://community.cal...56717#413456717

I: http://community.cal...50913#413450913

I: http://community.cal...50912#413450912

SUPPORT: If there are any restrictions, they are from the Russian Governement, it wouldn't be anything that we would have control over.

I: They write that this restriction is a publisher that is Activision

I: Not Russian Governement

SUPPORT: We have no reason to make those kind of restrictions, if we do place them it is because the government makes us do so in order to release it in that country. Ther is a similar situation in Germany. All I can suggest is to send your complaints to the legal department:

SUPPORT: Activision - Blizzard ATTN: Legal 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard Santa Monica, CA 90405

I: I ordered the game through Steam. My version is full or there is a Russian?

SUPPORT: I really can't say for sure, you would need to contact Steam about that.

I: Steam support does know anything...

SUPPORT: Sorry man, but I have no way of seeing what version you bought from them.

I: License Call of Duty - Black Ops II Pre-Order (14548)

I: - State : Active - Created : Tue Oct 09 19:39:24 2012 in BY

I: - Apps : 221930, (1 in total)

I: steam console

SUPPORT: I'm sorry but we don't have anything about different versions yet, we usually dont' get that kind of info until after the game launches. I have no way of telling from that what version you have.

I: Now "Call of Duty®: Black Ops II purchases made in Belarus will only be playable in Belarus."

I: http://store.steampo...1_7_suggest__13

SUPPORT: Any of those restrictions are placed by Steam, so again you would need to contact them about it.

I: Can you specify about limitations for my region, that I was able to ask later?

SUPPORT: I'm sorry but we don't have any information about region limitations for that game yet, and we likely won't until the game is released, or maybe a few days before.

I: OK, thx
