I just re-installed COD4 today, and there was no way I was going to spend weeks unlocking everything again. Thankfully all the unlock data is stored client side, so here's the work-around for those of you in the same situation...
Just make sure that once you've put your own CD key back in that you join a multiplayer server before quitting COD4, otherwise it won't save properly and you'll need to repeat this process!
Hey, when I go to the regedit, Activision doesn't appear under software - thoughts?
man am i glad i found this thread -
after i got all 5 stars and unlocks - i decided i wanted to play bf2 and no matter what server i went to - i got a message - invalid cd key -
i thought about re-installing bf2 but that is a pretty long process - so instead i restored the entire hard drive from about a week ago - bf2 works now but to my surprise i am back down to colonel in cod4 - ahhh
i tried this method using my son's mpdata and it worked but it only put me to 3 stars - so that is why i am sure it will work to put me back to 5 .
thank you
btw - my game nick in bf2 and cod4 is kablammy

Reason: add game nick
Ive done the step-by-step guide, placed the mpdata file into my profile folder then i open up Cod4 MP yet theirs no lvl 55. or all weapons unlocked etc.
Where have i gone wrong?
Hi there, everything works fine - except - i got the same 'MY WHOLE STATUS GOT RESET'
i dont understand what you mean by ('You need to join a multiplayer game before quitting after applying it.' )
I joined a game - changed everything whilst in the game then added the cd key, and same result?
I haven't tried this in a long while, but what I mean by joining a multiplayer game is that you need actually need to join a multiplayer match, then quit the game entirely, then launch COD4 again.
ok, im really stuck i'll write exactly what ive done
i change the cd key
i check its valid in the game
i quit the game
i got to my profile and delete the data (a cfg file and a plain file)
i paste in the mp data from the link (a txt file)
i go into the game
i see my stats as lvl 1 no exp
