Modern Warfare 3 Problem

I believe the problem is

Ooooh I see the problem! It seems you have bought modern warfare 3. Hur hur hur!

Can you give us a little more detail? Why did you uninstall it the first time? Where about did it stop (1%? 99%? Is there a file name..)? Are the rest of your applications working normally? The more info you provide, the better we can help you out.

If it requires Steam to run, then you don't ever need the discs again after the first time you activated it on Steam. You can just download it from your Steam library, and thats what I suggest you do. If it doesn't use Steam, then I suggest you just ctrl alt delete it if you think its frozen and let it install while you sleep.

I believe it's a user issue.

reboot, try again

try making image of the disk or copying the installer from disk. In this way you will know if disk is fine or not.

Just download it off Steam, don't waste time installing from disk, it's slower. Unless of course your ISP is slower than a turtle riding a snail.

Found this on a Google search - not sure about it working though:

1. Don't run the disc setup; instead have your DVD in the drive and open up Steam.

2. Open the backup window (Steam → Backup and Restore Games…).

3. Select Restore a previous backup.

4. Browse to the drive letter of the installation DVD.

5. Steam should tell you that it found a backup of Modern Warfare 3. Click next.

6. The game will hopefully install from disc.

Question is do you have this problem installing other games by disk ? If not it could be the disk it self, could have a problem reading it, I had this happen few times. But now i just use steam.

I also have data plan of 250 max. It not easy but when it comes close to end of the month and there is space left you should download what you can. What i do. I have 3 people using it to so yeah same problem. lol.

Every other disc I have used works fine, and I have a Data Plan of 200, shared by 7 people :(

ignore the disk and download it from steam

as for internet there is free wifi everywhere

download from steam, disc is a lost time

I've noticed that, when i put the disc in, and go to MW3's setup, the disc/disc drive starts rattling for 5 seconds.
