My friend linked it to his steam alrdy, so i was wondering if i could play it just retail (w/o steam)

I thought MW2 required activation on Steam.

It does, after you link it, you must put in the Key. If you don't have it, your outta luck...

Indeed it does. Though, as far as I know, you should be able to make it work with retail somehow.

if your friend activated it on his steam acct then you will need to link to that account to play when it is released.

Since technically, you do not have a licensed copy of the game, your friend does, you just have the disk

Well yeah, if you have retail, during the installation process, I would assume you have to start Steam and activate it. I haven't bought a physical copy of a game in years, so I don't know much about retail copies. Everything I've bought since Battlefield 2142 has been Steam, EA Downloader/Origin, Direct2Drive or Greenman Gaming.
