what is with this steam group fascination? I can't stand using steam at all, so this whole beta thing has been one big nails on a chalkboard for me. arghhh. get the beta stuff over with already and release the proper game with no steam requirements. it's so freaking annoying knowing a bunch of people are playing this and I can't because it's on steam terrible

After long time updating the game, I tried to creat a new game in the "Internet" by clicking "Create", it gives me a prompt saying "Invalid CD-Key (cd:0)" while I can clearly see my CD-Key on the right buttom corner! However even if the game is working properly, the mininum ping I can get is 800ms, and sometimes it's 1 second 200ms.
In my opinion, the best I can find out in this game is the single player campaign. I hope the game is out soon, and I can complete all the levels of the campaigns.
