so like when you play d2 you just skip the story and ignore what all the merchants say?
I guess that wouldn't be rediculous since I played it for 5 years and still don't know the story

Never played Crysis 1, but I enjoyed the SP of Crysis 2 very much. The upgrade system is kinda lame in the single player, but I love the element of the nanosuit that separates it from other shooters, not to even mention the graphics are the best of any game I have ever played. I liked the storyline, however it leaves you confused for about the first half of the game. The multiplayer is really awesome, there are so many things that you can do with your classes, however I wish there was more guns. Overall, I'm happy I bought it.

so I'm about 5 hours into the game now, here are some impressions (will write a lot more after I finish it)
i've actually been pleasantly surprised by it so far. I thought it'd be a lot worse judging by reviews and lots of people bashing it on the net, but it's exceeded my expectations so far (although I've had somewhat low expectations since last year when I realized it was going to be a console port).
im very happy that almost every mechanic from the 1st game is back (stuff like picking up items and throwing them, changing firing-modes, realtime weapon customization, etc). leaning is basically in the game with the "click mouse2 to lean" function that generally works OK (wish I didn't have to aim down the sights while leaning though) and is probably the best "cover-system" I've seen implemented in a FPS (IE something that is specifically "going into cover and shooting over it" and not just crouching/uncrouching). definitely a lot better than that lame stuff from like rainbow six vegas where you just go 3rd person.
the AI for humans is better than I expected (hearing about how awful it was), or at least it seems to be pretty decent (because there are so many of them). the alien AI seems pretty lacking, or at least fighting aliens in general is pretty underwhelming. they just dont really attack much ever, and when they do they don't do a lot of damage. overall: fighting human soldiers has been pretty fun, fighting aliens sorta sucks (at least so far). so far I like all the weapons a lot, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY AMMO CRATES HOLY SHIT WTF. some level designer must of gotten a huge bonus for every ammo crate he put in the game or something. goddamn.
I feel the level design is about on par with crysis 1/warhead, but teh game is definitely missing the open world feel. I never have as many options as I would have in a truly sandbox game (for instance I can't sneak around and get different angles in most levels, I can just go down like 2 or 3 paths basically).
overall I'm enjoying the game, but as expected, not at the level of the first crysis/warhead.

started playing today i never played much of the first crysis but im enjoying this one so much, the cut scenes and storyline seem quite well done so far, and the graphics are absolutely amazing also it runs very well on my computer "quad core 2.6ghz, gtx260, 8 gigs of ram," i was suprised it ran at the max settings quite smoothly when my graphics card is almost 2 years old.

this is actually a lot better then the first crysis imo.
The only thing i struggle with is the multiplayer, there seem to be issues with hitboxes (sometimes i die in midair and get killed by a headshot, but on the killcam im still on the ground), respawning points, (imagine enemies spawning in your face while you are carrying the flag in ctf) and cloak in general.
Im only lvl 20 now but i hope this game has perks that kind of tones down cloaking in this game. People hiding and decloaking in your back is very frustrating and it happens every 30 seconds!
ps: i dont miss the open world feeling in sp at all, i am from the doom / quake scene and i enjoy this straight to the point action, not having to walk for miles to reach stuff thing.

Is the multiplayer good on the PS3/PC (Better than opting for Black Ops)? I'm considering getting it soon

Just finished Crysis 2 at Sunday. And here is my feelings on few aspects.
As a game, it really is great experience. Storyline hits you with weird info that confuses shit out of you, but after a while it all clears out. Something was loaned from other stories + Show Spoiler +like the guy inside tube from FO:new vegas
Game was bit tunneling. Sometimes I just stealth trough everything cause it seemed to be much easier than should have been. Also I played on hardest mode and stealth was way too overpowered than it should have been. Specially when you get best stealth upgrade, you can shoot 2-3 shots from stealth and not show up at all.
Graphics we're just utterly amazing. Nothing beats this game on that section. When 2 20+ apartment houses collapse, it just sucked me inside the game with the relevant realism it provided.
AI was bit funny, I still think those hirelings should not have grenades. Best scene was one of those parking garages with 2 hummers. First open had 5 soldiers and 1 at top of minigun mount. I killed something like 2 of them, rest self exploded and also blowed up the hummer with minigun mount. Also when they saw me, duck, stealth move 1 meter and voila, they can't see me or hear me.
Overall, 7 and half hour of full action packed gold. Definitely anyone with good computer should pick this up.

A question, how do you unlock new weapon attachments in the campaign? By picking up a version of the weapon that already had it?
@2 persons above me: IMO it's better than CoD, but that's personal. What I can say is that it feels different , but the principles are the same. ("small" maps, lots of action, no vehicles less teamwork than say BFBC2) So If you already have a CoD (like MW2) I'd advice to buy this anyway. You can always torrent the PC version to try it out. (I torrented it to wait for my pre-order to arrive, and it works good, you should download the videosettings program from last page though)

The weapons have different names like "Spec-ops supergun of evilness" and "Ranged supergun of evilness" which indicates different attachments

the multiplayer is great! (playing it on PC) Normally i finish the SP first before i start the MP, but i made the "mistake" to have a look at the MP too early^^ its really awesome, especially because of the big variety of game modes (6 different ones).
its pretty equal to black ops in terms of classes, perks and customisation, but as mentioned earlier, the nano suit just brings it to a whole new level. im "only" lvl 15 of 50 so far, but i can really recommend it. played around 20h in MP and another 5 in SP. the game is totally worth its money already.
if your still not sure weather to buy or not, just check out some MP videos on youtube

i had the same issue with my GTX 285 for more than a year. finally i found a solution. i bought the amp version which is basicly an overclocked version (which i didnt know). i clocked down the core and memory bus to the "normal" values with ntune and now it works perfectly in every game. i also dont really see a reduced performance. maybe that helps

haha ya same thing i was about 2 hours into SP, then was like "oh hey i'll give multiplayer a try"
now i have no desire to go back to the SP, the MP is so addicting. i really like that the rounds/games are typically quick, so it's easy to just get numerous games in instead of being stuck on one for what feels like forever

lol, Crytek sure waited just long enough to debunk that rumour....
Not that it influences me because my graphics card doesn't support dx11 but my respect for Crytek has gone down.

Apparently the game doesn't even have DX10, and it runs on DX9

If you can get this visuals on dx9 then by all means, fuck directx 11 and 10 for that matter.

You're honestly justifying this?
