Region specific?

Hello all,
Been noticing a few mentions lately of il2COD being region specific, as far as activation goes. I'm located in Canada, and have had my game on pre-order with EB Games for the last couple months... I have family coming over from Scotland in the next couple weeks and am thinking of having them bring over a copy of Collectors edition. Will I have a problem with activation on Steam?...trying to activate it from the North American region? Thanks, Hawk

I have no idea really.

However North Americans are still buying the digital download from Just Flight(UK),getting the activation key and actually downloading from Steam.Apparently it is a lot faster d/l from Steam than it is from Just Flight.

This might not apply to physical copies.

Gogamer was importing Australian copies and selling them(through Amazon.com).I think they had a problem with "duplicate"keys.Steam resolved some but told others to return their copies.Unfortunately the Gogamer site has been down for several weeks.

I bought a euro key and I'm in Australia and it activated just fine.. Infact, I've activated a number of keys that i've bought from other regions and the only one that ever gave me problems was a key for mafia 2 from amazon.. and even then, all i did was log into a US IP vpn and activated it.. once activated, it played fine..

I really can't see any issues with buying CoD from another region..
