I'm pretty sure Crytek is working on like 3 different unannounced games right now lol. I'm sure one of them will have forests. But no, nothing in crysis 2 looked like that screenshot. There were some trees in a park level, but not that many lol | ||

the good: graphics - UNBELIEVABLE. the bad: gameplay - to be fair, it isn't that much more indepth than even the original crysis. get guns, kill shit. snipe them, rocket them, knife them. but its the linearity of the game. i stopped paying attention to the story not long after realizing all i really needed to do was run forward and kill shit for the next couple of hours. and speaking of the story the ugly: (beware spoilers) story - i dont even ... michael bay films are more coherent and enjoyable than this mess. i had no idea what was going on (and why) most of the time and who the hell all these characters were. let alone the fact + Show Spoiler + they dont even fucking realize who is in the suit until a good hour or two into the game and they keep talking about + Show Spoiler + alien technology upgrades for the suit BUT THERE ISNT ANY AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS ??? as above, i said "fuck this shit" quite early in the game and just played for stealth kills | ||

I think the game really comes into it's own if you challenge yourself difficulty wise and have to really start abusing the suit abilities. That's not excusing the gameplay, unfortunately, but if you're kind of just armoring up, walking into the middle of it and shooting everyone you're probably not playing on a hard enough difficulty. But yeah, story was pretty bad >.>. Though the guy who played hargreave was a great voice actor. really got that rich american bastard vibe rolling strong and deep. One rather interesting thing I noticed + Show Spoiler + when you confront hargreave at the prism, turn on nanovision and look around his office. One of the suits in the cases is 'active', or at least shows up as a heat source. I wonder if it's either a beautifully placed easter egg hinting that hargreave isn't so bedbound after all, or the leftovers of a planned boss fight with a nanosuiter that got axed. Anyone else notice that? | ||

It does not support DX11 as we all kind of anticipated, blur motion, ground/wall texture looks flat, no parallax oclusion mapping like its previous... Dont get me wrong the graphics are still "good" but they did neglect the graphics probably due to console sections. It was basically a broken game in the first 2 weeks and crucial bugs still persist for some people. What I miss is the moments where you stop and throw away your guns for a moment and just enjoy the amazing landscape. | ||

It is not a Good FPS at all, it's boring... it has cool stuff like the slide and the cloak but it's still BORING. | ||

The grahpics are the worst part about this game. | ||

I cant even think of a FPS where you DONT just kill shit. even the later half-life games minimized puzzles and stuff... you're like the 50th person to come in this thread and just bash the game for having bad gameplay but then you dont compare it to anything. this is more of a rant on mainstream games in general instead of just crysis 2. which I would be OK with if you labeled it as that instead of just saying "omg crysis 2 is one of the worst FPSs ever! all you do is shoot stuff!" | ||

edit- oh ok. i get what youre saying now I think. I guess it must suck to like games when you dont like what the majority of big releases are nowadays though :\ edit2- I also dont get why you would call it "one of the worst FPS ever". it's honestly probably the best single player FPS in the last 3 years. what games do you think is better? Im assuming we just have really different tastes in FPSs, but i can never understand so many people that shit on crysis 2 because they never say what the "good" FPSs are. | ||

What the hell. I honestly don't even understand how you can make a complaint like that. If this is one of the worst FPS games you've ever played I'm quite curious as to what other FPS games you've played because this game certainly wasn't bad compared to the norm. | ||

You're not even forced to fight most of the times, though that big robot thing really took some time to learn, but that's about it. I would have liked it if it was more like the call of duty single player series. You die so freakin fast if you dont watch your back all the time. ever thought about changing the game difficulty level to higher if you find it too easy instead of complaining? harder settings are what you are looking for. multiplayer was pretty fun, but the fact that i played the PC version means i have to deal with all kinds of hackers, goes from aimbotters to wall hackers... just saw the sales figure for it as well, only 14% of the sales came from PC, and this was suppose to be the "big" game for PC, how not dead are the PC FPS genre? | ||

Looks pretty, but the content is shit. Its bizarre how the engine has no feel, I lost interest in the game after 4 hours, never played it again. In fact writing this post, reminds me that I should uninstall it. | ||

I guess with this game as well as others similiar to it the only way it'll keep me interested like that again, is after smoking a big fat blunt. It's just, for lack of a better word, boring... but who knows, if I ever get bored with some of the other games I have in my possession, I might try it again. Does the story get much better as it goes on? | ||
