I am playing it on easiest setting which is unlike me, but I read you can carry your upgrades into other difficulties so want advanced stealth for my Super Soldier playthrough...

Same but I'm not going to do another play through as it hasn't gripped me enough. LB is armour, RB is stealth, How do I do power?

I just stealth up pull out the DSG pop a few heads from range for the nanotech and machine gun the rest. Find some ammo, rinse and repeat.

The only thing I find slightly difficult is the aliens, they take a full clip each even on easy. It would be fine if you could carry more than 160 rounds.

I'm on my first run through of the game on Vetran, and they dont take a full clip.
In fact, they take 8 rounds from the electric gun (best gun of the game so far), one head shot from the sniper rifle, and and about 15 to 20 rounds of uncontrolled shooting from the SCAR.

Change the scar to single shot and it rocks

I'm using the scarab and they take just about a full clip, I've not really experimented that much with the guns because mostly I'm just head shotting them.

Semper Fi is the first half decent mission, level 10.

Loving all the pop in, reminds me of my Sega Master system.

What more can you expect Crytek to do with 7 year old hardware if you don't like the way it performs or looks get it on the PC.

I can't kill the damn alien things. I'm getting too old for gaming they move to quick and I never have enough bullets to kill them. I play on easy so I don't die and get pleasure in being an invincible super soldier but easy on this is too damn hard for me..

I'm about half way in it now, I still don't think it's anything special and I'm only playing it because I payed £40 for it. :/

Simi · 28 Mar 2011 at 01:06

Got this from Lovefilm - pretty lucky to get it so quickly. I'm only on mission 4 and the game is pretty good but nothing special. The graphics are quite nice and I do like the tactical visor so you have to find and mark the enemies yourself instead of them just having a big red arrow over their heads like most shooters.
Above average game let down a bit by the story and the easy mode stealth armour.

I'm just responding to the comments these graphics are awesome, they are average compared to other stuff I've seen on this hardware and the pop in is laughable. I haven't seen this sort of pop in since playing racing games on the Master system.

I'm certainly not blown away like I was the first time I loaded up bioshock and the environments are not as breathtaking as Assassins Creed.

It's far from polished graphically imo. Not that it effects the gameplay, the pop in does to a small extent.

graphics are stunning. by far the best on any console, it craps all over killzone 3, cant believe people are saying the graphics are average, what a load of ********. some right whiners on here like.

game is fantastic imo. some of the set pieces in the single player are just amazing. im really enjoying it, if anyone is reading this thread and pondering whether to buy this game then dont hesitate, especially if you like FPS games and/or sci fi.

as for the multiplayer i havent seen any lag. people who are saying 'I shoot them loads and then they turn round and kill me in 2 shots' ive found that its when they have their armour turned on and you dont. plus the more you play the more you upgrade your suit so people who play more do have a advantage if they have been upgrading their armour etc

Finished my playthrough on vet last night and have enjoyed the campaign and will probably go through on easy to get some of the trophies i didnt get first time and also had a bash on the multiplayer which seemed pretty good also , one thing on the ps3 game i dont like is when it plays it upscaled 1080 and makes it look worse so play it on 720p and looks pretty good but i still prefer killzone 3 over this but not by much .

Sorry, where exactly is the whining about graphics?

People are expressing an opinion on the graphics, is that not allowed here?

im not getting at anyone personally. of course you are allowed to express an opinion but if you are going to be unfair about it then dont bother. you cant possibly say the graphics are average because they are clearly stunning. even if you think certain games are better you cant say they are average. i wont accept that because its a complete lie.

MOOGLEYS · 28 Mar 2011 at 10:17

The graphics are very good but they have done this by sacrificing draw distance which is awfull. The game literally fills in the detail infront of you its especially bad in the open areas.

Dyson · 28 Mar 2011 at 10:32

Had an hour on it last night, and so far I'm really impressed. Graphics are great, but the biggest plus point for me, is that it's the most pc like game I've played since making the move to console. Happy days

I'm really enjoying this game..

The way you can approach each battle area in a different way.. It seems completely open ended to me. The AI seems very good too.. Like they can hear your footsteps and track you. I have seen a few instances where they get caught on little things like a car end or something but other than that it seems pretty good.

The graphics are by far the best I have seen on a console and come IMO very close to the original crysis.. I have noticed the draw distance too but you have to be sensible and take into account what crytek are trying to do.. Push the format.. So I can take the draw distance being a little short.

The most amazing thing about the graphics for me is that the game looks this good.. And is only on one DVD. Amazing.

The game itself seems very long to me.. I hammered it at the weekend on vet and only got the 12 level achievement last night.

Overall I'm incredibly impressed and I'm also glad that whilst pushing this gens hardware further Crytek have also made a great game too.. I was so afraid that it was just gonna turn out to be a tech demo and give all the people who like to flame more ammo..

For me I can't see any shooters getting close to this looking at the releases for this year.. Possibly Rage or Deus Ex but IMO the bar has been raised..

Thinking of trading Blops in for this on the PS3

As below by Moogleys, anyone can make visually decent graphics but it's not much point in a moving game where as he says the game fills in with pop in.

That to me is not decent graphics, although I've not had tearing or noticed any. I'd even rather have a lower res COD that's smoother than a scenery that looks good until you start moving.

I don't even know of areas that have been visually stunning, decent but nothing that's made me just stop and look around like other games have.

Agree completely. I've been shot in the back after passing an area, turned around and scoped to be able to see the enemy. I walk back towards them and they appear in the pop in.

Anyone order there copy from Play.com ??

I've come to the decision that MP in this game is utter crap.

Host advantage,lag and bull**** moments are too common in it. Plus the fact that the map selection isn't random is just rubbish.

I'm enjoying single player BUT kinda getting fed up of enemies knowing where I am even when i'm cloaked. I spent 20 minutes killing a tripod yesterday. Not because it was difficult but because whenever I got behind it,it would spin 180 degrees to face me. So i'd then have to navigate the whole map to try and get behind it again :mad:
