EPTim really suprised they wouldnt build the brand crysis to be what it was known for. a game that shwoed what pc could do.
the graphics are MEH IMO. terrible artstyle as well.

Still it was the death of me several times :D Also, watch this. Old but still somewhat accurate IMO (yeah it's an early comparison and PC vs console but just look at it). Otherwise I like the gameplay on the skyline map, the other one is a bit too camper-ish for me. I've only played the 1st crysis singleplayer, however the weapon feel was way better there IMO.. Here it's practically no-go to shoot without holding down aim/zoom/whatever - it's practically melee, plus the recoil seems a bit too random/high even when you aim. As for the suit modes - cloak is fairly easy to spot once you get used to it  You can change the vof and turn off the motion blur and sskip the opening splash screens by going to C:\program files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2 Demo\Bin32 Then you make a shortcut to Crysis2Demo.exe Right click your shortcut and press properties in the target bar, paste +g_skipintro 1 +cl_fov 85 +pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov 85 +r_DrawNearFoV 85 +r_MotionBlur 0 behind the exe location (with a space in between and behind the quotes) | ||

Played the full beta and it's horrible. It's not like like the original at all, which was great for competitive gaming. It's extremely easy...I didn't finish the campaign but I got 1/3 of the way and only died once, and it was because I fell too far. The movement speed is about as fast as a handicapped person and it takes energy to sprint as fast as a normal human. The performance unlocks break everything about an online experience that could be fair. A lot of weapons and features in the game are useless, for example air stomp or the rockets. Flashbangs cause you to slow down and have a hard time aiming. The gameplay is basically a game of whoever shoots first wins the battle. Because people move so slow and you are required to aim down a sight to make an accurate shot, you are pretty much rooted to the ground when in battle and it's incredibly easy to aim at anyone because of this.\ Nanovision is pretty much the most useful suit feature and you should bind it to your mouse and click it on every few seconds to check where enemies are, it's so much easier to spot players with it on and seeing someone first is key to winning. Cloak is useless like always because you can see the shadow, the distortion, it can be somewhat seen in nanovision, and has very high energy drain. Strafe jump is gone so speed mode is nearly useless because the speed increase isn't as valuable as the energy you can save for armor mode. Oh and the singleplayer story makes no sense and totally unrelated to the crysis 1 story which had an unfinished ending. Pretty bad. I'm working on a multiplayer mod to make the game have a pace more similar to UT or quake, but unsure if I'll be able to fully finish it; they will have to release the SDK with source code for the game. I'm (was) a Crysis 1/Crysis Wars top 1% player and sc newb  | ||

We will have to wait for the full version to see what other game modes they add and whether some of the cooler modes from the previous games return. They should take a lot of knowledge from Splinter Cell which was about how to effectively use your skill in an online situation. And, so far, Crytek don't seem to be achieving the same level of success with the Nanosuit. Now, Crysis 2, will always be about the singleplayer. However, if this game is mostly about the alien invasion (which does not seem to be the case), then that might just be a bit of mixed news. Proper fans of Crysis feel that the first 3rd of the original game are what made it with stalking silly Koreans using the Nanosuits powers. If that is still present in this game and hopefully lots of advancements have been made to the AI to make us put our brain to good work, then Crysis 2 will be definitely worth it. Overall, however, the most important reason for buying this game is going to be to prove who has a bigger e-peen with their kick-ass PC. I myself have a GTX-570 and it handles Crysis 2 admirably on Hardcore. But the demo is DX9 only, so it will be interesting to see how the improved tessellation and other features in DX11 have a hit on the performance. We will also have to see whether hardcore is truly "hardcore" or whether tweaking can take the game to another level by unlocking some locked variables. So, it's all going to be good - the most technically advanced engine to date and hopefully some solid shooter mechanics to make this game worth it. | ||

I come from a professional quake3 background with over 9 years of beeing in sponsored teams and after that ive been playing some ut99/ut2k3, CS (dont like very much) and all the COD games since mw1 and after i installed the crysis2 demo i fell in love with this game. the game looks awesome in mp! PROS: Graphics- best ive seen in a mp game! Weapon Models / Feedback and Sound? - best ive seen in any video game! Gameplay / Movement? - Arcadeish, reminds me of ut2k3 with Parkour and SLIDING!!!111 <3 Airkills - sooooo sexy! i wonder if this game has a rocketlauncher! Still balanced with limited energy supply. No bunny hopping / infinite sprinting etc... Tactical choices of equipment / perks Rooftops map is supersexy! CONS: Killstreaks- this is not COD, i dont need killstreaks / ppl camping for killstreaks! Pier map sucks! Haters gonna hate, but i think this game has some potential and it runs great on my machine without any sacrifices. It is NOT Counter-Strike and its not Quake3 and it will never be as competetive as either of them so if your looking for a hardcore competetive game look elsewhere. Crysis 2 is the first ego shooter i enjoy in years and im sick of all the cs/cod gamers who claim that their game is the only real fps experience and bash on every new fps that gets released! | ||

I agree. The multiplayer of Crysis 2 is surprisingly impressive to me. While it is a similar formula to CoD, there's a reason why millions of people purchased every title within the CoD franchise. It's a formula that works and in comparison to Crysis Wars, it's a world's leap ahead. I haven't found the killstreaks to be anything outrageous. If anything, they made killstreaks more sensible than in the Call of Duty games simply because you now have to acquire the dog tags of the players you frag. I played about 10-20 games and haven't seen anyone reach the gunship. Most of the comments I've read seem to be complaints about the actual engine (such as motion blur) which will likely allow for major tweaks on release. I'd be quite surprised if you're unable to remove motion blur in the settings of the PC launch version. | ||
