On topic, I find the single player engrossing and the A.I to be extremely intelligent for the majority of the time. The graphics are still amazing as well as how detailed the world is.

First of all, where the hell are my bloody saves? All i get is checkpoint systems. For fuck sakes im sick and tired of fucking checkpoints, when i want to stop playing, I WANT TO STOP FUCKING PLAYING.

The only real improvement is the thermal vision which is a nice touch i must admit.

Don't really give a shit, sure they look nice but its neither a huge improvement or decline in quality. From what i see, overall i'd give crysis 2 a 6/10 for the SP, compared to crysis 1, crysis 2 has got NOTHING on it. I mean sure i still have to play more and maybe it can redeem itself, but so far i ain't impressed. | ||

Spoiler alert + Show Spoiler + And in the last mission.. WTF with those cloacked guys! I had no ammo left! I had to finish the last one with C-4 But overall, the pro's outweigh the cons in the campaign. The AI is good, except for some parts where a guy gets stuck until you shoot at it. Reccomendation: Try to choke the aliens if they are too close, saves you ammo and it's way easier than shooting them. @FractalsOnFire + Show Spoiler + I agree with your spoiler, GOULD IS DUMB! | ||

Also, im fucking tired of mute protagonists. The game starts kind of slow but is fine once it starts to get momentum. | ||

But i think the game is good but not as good as Crysis 1. | ||

The single player was awful (and I thought SC2's campaign was amazing, that tells you how bad Crysis 2's is). The story felt like it was written by several different people who didn't communicate with each other. You get orders from several different characters without knowing what you're really doing. Then again Far Cry and Crysis both had terrible stories as well. The tactical options are pretty much useless, and it played out much like a CoD shooter. Kill waves of enemies, move to next section, kill more waves, repeat. The AI is unimpressive, unlike Far Cry when it was released, and the enemies have perfect accuracy on you even through walls (easy to see this with one of the "perks" you can unlock that traces enemy fire). There aren't many weapons, and against the aliens you'll really only be using an electricity gun because the normal rifles do almost no damage to them. I finished the SP in 5 hours... it definitely isn't a 10+ hour campaign even if you explore every nook and cranny of the game map, unless you can't hit any shots or something. The multiplayer is a buggy mess and also feels like CoD with special powers. Cloak is surprisingly annoying... and the nanosuit in general feels like a gimmick in multiplayer. Essentially, you hit Q (armor mode) every time when you start shooting someone, as there's nothing else you can do with your energy in an engagement really. So "Q" just becomes another 'useless' button you press (if no one had armor mode, the game would play almost exactly the same). Sprinting also decreases energy, which is needed in armor mode to absorb damage, so if you sprint around, see another player, and both of you start shooting at each other at the same time, you will lose (even if you're better than the other player) because you had less suit energy. Now, you could say you should just not sprint then... but the normal movement speed feels like a grandma walking. Visually impressive. Not groundbreaking, but it seems well optimized for the graphics you get. However, everything feels blurry (perhaps to increase FPS for the consoles...). Things moderately far away just don't look sharp at all, as if your character needs glasses. And there is a lot of bloom and motion blur. I am shocked at how well received the game seems to be with the critics. Ugh. | ||

Weapons and ammo are thrown around every 5 meters so no real challenge there. I did run around stealth killing most of the enemies since that was quite enjoyable. Overall I did have a much better time playing through bulletstorm even though that sp was much shorter. I think Crysis 2 played too much on having nice graphics and a relative long sp and neglecting some game play and story because of it. @Straught + Show Spoiler + If you lured the stealth mobs out to an open area they were quite easy to melee to death since they charged you as their main attack, no guns required  | ||

I don't know why, I can't remember any storyline from games I played when I was young (except for games with a really poor/short storyline, like pokemon) so I don't think it's a recent trait. Maybe it's because I have always read a lot and game stories in general are just really bad compared to most books. | ||

Also + Show Spoiler + No final boss? seriously? Crysis 1 had an epic finale against huge fucking machines :<<< And in crysis 2, you get one of those retarded guitar-hero-wanna-be-hollywood-movies scenes, where you just press a button and 'something cool happens'... my god... | ||

MP is heaps of fun though, the whole tension between suit energy conservation / cloak / armour mode is great. The modules (perks) and weapons seem well balanced, no cod style invulnerability when knifing, requirement to aim for headshots due to a 2.2x multiplier on head means good aim is encouraged. Weapon recoil is present but minimal, ability to put some weapons into single shot mode is nice too. Game feels like a mixup of quake/cod in MP and I'm really enjoying it. | ||
