i've installed crysis like 6 times on my computer and even some friends, so i dont think install limits are an issue. I just got warhead and crysis wars for 5 bucks off steam.

Warhead has an activation limit, but it also has a revoke tool; as long as you properly uninstall the game, you'll get to keep all 5 activations.

I don't think it uses anything but a basic disc check. Then again, I'm not completely sure, since I bought both separately.

it says on steam 5 machine activation limit, would you pay the extra 5 bucks to have this on steam as opposed to a used copy?

No, it's not worth it. Steam is great for games that don't have any additional DRM because it's hassle free, but I would NEVER buy a game over steam that has securom. That's just too much.
