My friend and I shared eachothers games but I can't seem to get Advanced Warfare off him.

 

He shared it with someone else so it's not like the game isn't allowed?

 

I have no idea what to do, plz hulp

The game doesn't seem to be available for Family Sharing.

I Googled a bit, but couldn't find a definitive answer. 

I did find a small list of games not available for Family Share. It was on the Steam Community and is posted by a Spanish person.

That list included previous CoD games like Black Ops 2 and World at War

As a last resort, id email steam... ( as painful as it is to say it... )

It seems impossible until it's done.

I can confirm that COD:AW does not allow family sharing.   I owe it and 3 people I share with do not have access to it :/

AMD Radeon R9 290X / AMD FX-8320 / Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 / Samsung 830 128GB / Seagate 7200RPM 3TB / Corsair HX 850W / BitFenix Shinobi XL / CPU & GPU Watercooled - Thick Triple 360 Rad

Ahhh...I missed that comment.  Still sharing or was that on day one?  I noticed with another game, H1Z1, that I could share from a friend on day one, then it went off the list of game from his library.

Maybe they patched it out?

 

God I hate Activision.
