I have played through this now and got all the single player trophies so will play some more multiplayer but i cant see me playing it loads online and overall i would say this is a very good game but certainly not one of the very best .
Crysis 2... Awsome!

MP in this game is shocking. Definitely the worst i've played for a LONG time.
You havent played homefront have you?

I bought this yesterday for a fiver in GAME, I'm only a few levels into the single player on Supersoldier and while some parts have been stupidly frustrating I'm really enjoying it. I enjoyed the multiplayer demo too so I'm trying to finish off the SP quickly to get into that.
ever completed 'Mile High Club' on Veteran, how the hell are you meant to do it? you get like 30 seconds to run through an enemy infested aircraft with paper armour and a gun that is a pea-shooter...?!
Took me a little while but it was fun working it out, wasn't too hard.
Finished.
Latter levels are better but on the whole pretty average. Struggled to care about the characters or the story. Not enough variation in enemies and the sound was poor in places. I had to check my surround set up a few times as the direction of sound is well off in places.
Thought it was just me until I noticed others having sound issues on other forums.
The upgrades to the suit are pretty useless, I don't think the game needed them as most are rubbish. Why would you want to see footsteps it's not like the enemy are hard to follow. The agility ones aren't worth bothering with.
Guns are ok, unlike others I did get a sense of power from the guns, although when I got the popcorn gun and volt it's not worth using anything else.
Won't bother with another playthrough like originally intended as it wasn't good enough for my time. Worth playing but not enough for a second play.
Missed one speed camera and need the 10 thrown objects achievement and keep my squad alive on semper fi.
I will try the MP later just to pick up a couple of the easy achieves and send it back

I have. When homefront actually works it's miles better than MP in this game.
Does anyone know how to get the Pistol Silencer and Laser Sight? I'm sure I found the Silencer early on in my first playthrough, but when I looked in my inventory a few levels later it wasn't there. Is this a bug?
I was a bit disappointed SPOILERS INCOMING... by a lack of big nasty end of game boss as well. I was expecting to fight something similar to the bosses in the first two games. I must admit also the game left a lot of unanswered questions for me and never filled in the blank between Crysis 1 and Crysis 2 either. What happened to Nomad and Helena? Exactly what happened to Prophet when he returned to Lingshan at the end of the first game? Why aren't the Aliens using Ice Weapons anymore? Where did they get Bi-Pedal suits, guns and Aircraft? Why does the Virus instantly kill some and not others? And if the Nuke at the end of the first game increased the Aliens strength, what made the Us Army think that attempting to Nuke New York would have different results this time? END OF SPOILERS.
I still enjoyed the game, but it would have made more sense if they explained the above instead of leaving you to wonder. I now have a couple of other games I want to play through again (Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1+2) and having bought it a while back and finishing the first game I want to play Mass Effect 2 for the first time, but once I've finsihed those I'll be back to Crysis 2 for my second playthrough.

I agree that the final set piece/level wasnt as good as some of the others throughout the game. went a bit flat at the end.
god I feel the same dude, they ended Crysis with a cliffhanger of sorts, only for the second game to explain absolutely nothing of the ending of the first. so for the time being I would assume Nomad and Psycho are not dead, there is no evidence to suggest they are, where they are though is unknown.

Send it back? You just completed it; so it must be open - how do you intend to send it back?
Just finished it, the final few chapters were a bit of a chore but personally I liked the very last one having to take out each of the spores having never completed the original though I have no idea what the ending was all about
Will definitely be giving it a second play through (my how my opinion has changed) question though I had quite a bit of nano catalyst left to spend will I still have that when I start over again? I know someone said that all their suit upgrades had been kept...

I rent nearly all my games.
Yeah same, didn't have much of a clue what the end was about. Yeah you can start again with the upgrades you already have.
Only achieve I'm struggling to get is the band of brothers one on semfer fi. God knows why but they keep running to death no matter how many I kill trying to protect them
I used a mixture of a mounted gun which I detached a little earlier and the micro wave one.... well that and just stealthing my way past them
Vector electric gun, headshots kill them fast.
