Activating MoW on Steam

Does Steam have a separate product code for MoW that is not the CD key?

Thanks.

Lol thats very funny dude you made me laugh when i read that,like steam are going to allow you to register your game you brought from somewhere else & then let you use steams ability to update its games as soon as patches are out lol,ill be laughing at that one for a while hehe.

Can I ask to clear things up for me,Can I buy a retail copy of this game and dont have to log on to the internet to activate it or anything like that can I just
install enter whatever code and play? Would appreciate help.

just to clear up some stuff that was mistaken

You just do as you would do for a normal game its not a steam attached game thus you cant use steam to update it unless you buy from steam HOWEVER

certain games they do support you can activate and dl and update throughthem but these are only games currently listed AND valve products (since steam is valve)
