Multiplayer is incredibly fun when it works. This game was dogged by a lot of issues since release (Serial keys not working properly, multiplayer ranked servers not starting, profiles not being saved correctly, etc) but just today I've seen a good number of these issues disappear, or at least not affect me. The biggest problem now is a recent wave of hackers getting online. I wonder exactly what kind of countermeasures they have in place. The Nanosuit is now super streamlined and adds tons of fun to the game. The cloak is kinda cheesy but overall I think its fine.

That said, where the hell is my lean and prone?

Good game, but sadly there is no Direct X 10 or 11 support.. 9 is all we get, this is a far cry from what should have been done. but the consoles won out on the bid so we all get to cry a little inside.

I'm sure Crytek are very concerned that a pirate uninstalled their game....

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. If you liked Crysis 1, you'll most likely love this one too.


Uhhhh... I loved crysis 1, it was a damn good game that had a good system with the suit. But with crysis 2? What. The. Fuck. 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. Not wait till i get to a certain section then go, oh ok checkpoint now i can stop.

Next point is the suit. Its stupid how the suit has 'downgraded'. No more max speed, your 'max speed' is the bloody sprint... I mean seriously what the fuck? I don't mind the new 'max strength' since i don't have to constantly switch to it but at the cost of my super fast speed? Fuck no. I also liked how armour was the default in crysis 1 and i didn't have to constantly switch, even if the new armour is buffed. The only real improvement is the thermal vision which is a nice touch i must admit. I'm not counting the new upgrade system cause i haven't really delved into it and first impressions im not that impressed anyway.

So far the story has been a pile of steaming shit. I'm hardly engrossed in it and + Show Spoiler +
that incompetent Gould idiot somehow left the location of his next hideout on his computer in the lab? I mean seriously? Who the fuck is really that stupid? Isn't this guy supposed to be smart? I know its trivial but its just stupid and silly.


Graphics? 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.

i'm wondering how many people actually played this game, or how far they played cause the levels are pretty damn large, and the scale of some of the buildings is awesome. it just seems less open cause its not all trees and jungle.

edit: and the dx11 patch is coming in a few days.

I just finished playing the SP and it was GOOD! I liked it a lot! I feel like the strong points of the single player is the suspense, and the story. But there are some thing that I didn't like (the checkpoint system, and that the levels sometimes feel a little repetitive)

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.

Just finished SP, story was "fine" but there are HUGE plotholes if youve played Crysis 1 and Warhead. Pretty meh theres no Psycho or Nomad also.

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

What a waste of $60.

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.

Overall a pretty meh experience, sure it has a pretty long campaign but it feels drawn out and I really didnt feel that imersed into the story. When the suitupgrades are introduced I really wanted to kill the aliens for upgrades but when I actually got them they fel pretty meh and didnt really add that much.

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.

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 really like the Crysis 2 SP, I don't play games for story (I actually have no idea what's going on in most of the games I play, because I skip as much story as I can) but the gameplay is very fluent and fun. Also the game is way less linear than people made it out to be, It has almost as much paths as Crysis 1 but in Crysis 1 there was much more open ground so that looked way more open. The graphics are beautiful, really the only slight problem I have is the lame upgrade system and the delay before you jump. Also, I have to agree with the person above me, ammo and weapons everywhere (I don't mind the ammo, but I like an element of getting good weapons that you can't find everywhere) I don't understand all the hate on the game, it's definitly a step in the right direction compared to CoD. (Why the developers had to limit our graphics options I still don't understand but that's why people make these kinds of programs:

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.

Really disappointing SP, a step up from CoD standards, but still pretty bad.

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...

I liked the Crysis 2 SP as well, though as others said its story line wasn't great. The whole tactical options thing meant you didn't have to do trial and error to get through parts like in other shooters where they just expect you to guess what they meant when they designed the area.

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.

For people hating the FOV and other non tuneable graphics options.

Here is a program that can change all these things.
