[Cowboy X]

I know alot of people might miss this post unless I used alot of exclamation marks :) .

But anyway it is serious , there is a 'mod' claiming to add a co-op mode but actually steals and broadcasts your Doom3 cd-key :

If you read further, it provides links to other threads about this mod, and all of them end with: "oh, it doesn't really steal your key."

Co-op Mod Safe!
Official EntertheGame.com Network Doom III Channel | 08.05.2004 | abraham

Surely you`ve seen the hype about DooM 3`s Co-op Mod supposedly containing a Russian-coded, cd-key stealing trojan. This bs was purported by several DooM 3 websites and noted in a post over at esreality.com. It started the rumor mill churning about why all you ******* THIEVES who downloaded the game and generated cd-keys illegally suddenly got "cd-key already in use" errors when joining a MP game.

It`s a hoax, folks! :D The file contained in the Co-op Mod is just a normal .pak file, and once extracted is, according to staff member Slave, [18:21] [Slave`]> just a maps.def , just a map list for the multiplayer mode thats all.

So, enjoy with a friend once more, it`s safe!

Are you sure that they tested the correct co-op mod , I was given the impression that there is more than one .

However it would be very very ironic ( amusing too ) if all of this fuss was caused by pirates thinking that they had been abused by other pirates :) .

I remember reading that some people thought they had to download and run an excecutable in order to get the mod working, which would be able to steal a CD key. I'm thinking that's how the rumor got started.
