I bought crysis2 on steam and when I enter the cd key it's assigned me to play multiplayer, it waits until I try and select a server then tells me it's already in use... How could this be?

I have the same issue, not sure what's going on there.

Same problem, only not on steam.

pirates are already using your keys, that's why it says in use
how pirates know what's your cd-key? CD Key Generators,
any random serial, even 1111-1111-1111-xxxx-1111 will work and you will be able to play online

Okay first of all... Your keys have not been stolen by pirates! I had the same problem

Fix:
1. Open Crysis 2,
2. Select "Multiplayer" and type in your key,
3. Go back to Single Player,
4. Now select "Multiplayer and re-enter your key... (This worked for me)

Added bonus you won't have to keep entering the key it will be remembered,
Enjoy

i actually tried to create a new profile with key 1245-1245-1245-1245-1245 and it worked
just think about it, 10,000 pirates type in random numbers as their key, one of them is bound to accidentally turn out to be a real serial, now think of 50,000 pirates, now think of Russia with over 100,000 pirates :3

Pretty sure the same key can be used twice and when you log on with a key that is in use that user is disconnected rather than yourself being rejected... This issue is not related to pirates stealing someones key?
