Apparently you do this, no idea if it works with CoD though:
Installing from Disc instead of Steam Question I try to install my retail game from the included disc(s), but the game begins downloading through Steam instead. What can be done? Answer Mac Users: If you are using a Mac, you will not be able to install from the disc. Please double-click on the game in your Library list to begin downloading and installing the software. Using Steam launch options to install retail games from disc
Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct. Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location. Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc. Blackdog posted this a while back: Quote:

Hi Dutch...I just wanted to try it again in its original form because I liked some of the visuals. However my memories do fade, so I could really be off track with this. Quote:
I will try this then just to see if it will work.

Anyone going the Version 1 route, make sure you back up your settings somewhere, just in case it does something screwey!

ok just instaled from disk, and disabled automatic updates, but the game updates to the 1.05 automaticatly, when you press play it says X mins to play the game, and starts to download the 1.05, i just put the 1.08 patch, and i dont know if i am i or something, but its more smoother lol

I tried many ways to do this for the same reasons you mentioned. Much more natural lighting, better visuals.
I even contacted steam about it. It won't work. Steam won't let you play until you download the update. I managed to restore one of the old backups I had. I keep playing with it from time to time. It's a pain to go back and forth between versions all the time, but with the Steam folder and the backup, being on SSDs it works pretty fast. This are some shots taken with that instal (most likely messed up by the upload messy conversion):
