Did you get the new cd key automatically or did you have to email steam?

April 1st for me too. 1 Day, 9 hours to go...

Do they let you download the files ahead of time? This is my first foray into Steam so I'm not quite sure of the drill.

Varies from game to game and I haven't seen anything indicating preload for CoD unfortunately. Anyway, remember there is a large patch due just before release time so you would just have to patch it immediately anyway.

Seems that people who got the DVD version can fly CoD now. I'm can only assume that they found an issue with the CD-Keys that came with hard-copies and decided to run another batch of keys. I know that with Steam if you buy a game and the key doesn't work they can issue you with a new, provided you take a photo of the CD Key on the packaging as proof.

If you got the digital version then I guess your going to have to wait for Steam to unlock the game. When I bought Dead Space 2 as a digital download I had to wait 2 extra days compared to people who got the hard-copy. No big deal for me but I can understand being impatient for CoD

Yup, mines up and runnin

Strangly enough, my CD key worked straight off the bat. My squaddies copy also work with the original CD key also...we got lucky i guess

Codex, when you said you got another key, was that the message from steam that said "This is your multiplqayer CD Key for IL2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover"?

or was it different?

Cheers!

PS sorry for interrupting your flight time! Patch 99% downloaded!
