Worst online MP game

I was looking at Sy's video of Operation flashpoint and remember having some great expectations about it. Then I remembered a game call Joint Operations (By NovaLogic - Nicknamed NoLogic), on the PC. This came after the massive hit Black Hawk Down, single player was good, but online it rocked my world for nearly 2 years.
Joint ops sadly missed the mark by being overly realistic and tried to compete with BF Vietnam. You'd jump into a chopper to attack an enemy stronghold, it'd take upto 5 minutes to fly there, only to get shot down before you land or 5 seconds after you land... rinse and repeat for day or two... give up on the game completely.
Medal of Honor in my humble opinion isn't as bad as J.O. but it's not far off. Massively imbalanced maps and sniper overkill is the game killer, but if you can take the rough with the smooth, it's not all bad... it does have some great moments - but only if you're attacking.
So what game gave you high expectations but failed to deliver, but failed in such a way that you stopped playing and never bought a game from that company ever again?
