Is there any way to play a network LAN game in Crysis 2, with friends or family, just like in the original Crysis?

I've been schmoogling this for a short while and it seems EA have taken our money and neglected to inform us that Crysis 2 does not have any EASY way to do lans, assuming they even release hosting software to the public. I'm in Australia and though Australian servers do exist, nobody plays them except late at night, so a lan option would be welcome if EA feel like giving me my moneys worth.
