Well consider yourself lucky for now. Until everyone starts downloading the updates, you can still join the current servers.

Aw dang...my bad then.

EDIT: Having H2V sort of "integrated" to Live sucks donkey balls. It's like Steam now, if ANYTHING happens, such as: your internet happens to be buggy that day, or it crashed, or forgot account, etc. you can't log in to any GFW games.I think this is the last straw from M$. They screwed up PC gaming. Pretty much Steam and consoles put to one.

No, I don't think so.

I guess that's ONE advantage to PC games being linked to 1st party sources...(ie Steam, Live, etc.).

Just uninstall it and you're probably good to go.
