I paid $60 to play this online, and as far as I'm concerned, I bought a disk with useless information on it. That "PCs gamers first" crap that crytek claims is just that, crap.
The console versions don't seem to be having this problem. Its my fault really though.. I broke the first rule of buying games. I just thought that the developer who had a successful reputation from their first game would be reliable enough to make sure their game was working properly before release.
