I just picked up the game today and it tells me to follow the instructions but then all it dose is install origin then afterwards it asks for the product key...i type it in...then it ask me to download it even though i have a disc that contains all the files needed to install without the unnecessary download. the booklet dose however tells me i can install it without the origin download so please help me.

Right this should work. Presuming you've downloaded origin, start the download for crysis 3, then once it starts downloading pause it and shut origin completely.
Then open the files on the crysis disc and copy them into the almost empty crysis folder likely found in whatever drive you installed it, program files (x86), origin games then copy all the files of the disc in to this folder. Once done, reopen origin and restart the download. It should find the files and update itself accordingly. Once done, it should work.
Hope this helps.

Installed mine a few days ago using the CD. I did not copy anything. From the CD I just open autorun.exe to install. Only logged in to origin when asked. It will install the game from the CD but you will be asked to do update (not download the whole game).

Well after an hour (yah this is little late) I finally figured it out...I was using the code for crysis 1 on the recete from gamestop not the code in the case for crysis 3...that worked for me.
