Do you need a code to play online multiplayer, because I plan on getting it used?

That is a good question in this day and age, unfortunately... especially with EA involved. But I can confirm that online play is fine to play if you buy it used. I can't remmeber if there were any pre-order bonuses or not, I don't think so to be honest, but the basics is all there. :)

You should not need one because I rented it through GameFly and I was able to play online.

To be honest, I don't think there are any games that require a code to play online. There are codes that "require"s you to either use that or download a BIG part of the game to be able to use... I'm looking at you, Skate 3.

No, you don't. If it asks you for a VIP code, just skip the message with B

im pretty sure EA have implemented a thing where if you buy the game used, you have to pay to play online, all new games come with an online code

No, it plays online for free. There is a VIP code that originally came with the new game that contained a few maps - useful to have, but not absolutely necessary to play.

Yeah the online is free if you buy used but you dont get the VIP code which cuts you out of a ton of maps. Which is real crappy considering their all on the disc already. Only real DLC for the game is the onslaught mode and it really isnt that great.

I just bought the game used and they put the disc into the Limited Edition box that had a VIP code behind the instruction manual and some other pamphlets... I just typed the code in expecting it to already be redeemed, but I guess I'm the first one to use it because I'm downloading the "Multiplayer Update 2" as I'm typing this.

Youre right, I downloaded the update and then found out the VIP code was already redeemed. I only plan on playing it for a week anyway and then returning it for a full refund to put towards Black Ops.
