Unread postby ._. » Sun Jan 29, 2012 8:22 pm
This guide is for people who have a ripped version (SP-RIP/FULL RIP) or don't have the game at all.
If you are absolutely sure that you have the the FULL version installed, skip to step 12.
Install steam (if you can't do this, don't bother with the next few steps. Instead, press alt-f4)
Log in with any steam account. (Create one if necessary. You can put in whatever email you like, they don't check it)

Keep on pressing "next"
Click "finish"
Wait for download to complete
Run the server once so steam can install all the dependencies. Shut down the server right after it starts.
Navigate to where you installed steam. Usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam" or "C:\Program Files"
Open "steamapps->common"
Copy "modern warfare 3" folder to somewhere else, for easy access
Log in with your forum account and download alterMW3 patch.
Extract the patch to where you copied mw3
Run altermw3.exe as admin
???
Profit!

Notes:
If you're running windows xp and below, install viewtopic.php?f=140&t=106252
This will only install MP files, so you can't play single player or spec ops.
This will work even without a prior mw3 installation
Your steam account is not at risk, although it doesn't hurt to make a new one
If you paste the files over SP-RIP files, you will get a full game
