    It SHOULD come with it. Some people say theirs hasn't. Not sure how you check, but someone else will probably know. If not, just install the CD

    I opt to get the CD, but after install them, and when I try to start the program, it give me this "5.1 Audio device not support, the program is now close". No idea why.

    I'm still waiting for my cd :/

    If it doesn't work and worse comes to worse I'll just use AlienRespawn and restore everything
