Crysis 2... Awsome!

I really like the MP, a bit halo meets Cod. I struggle to get kills but I still like the maps and the game. I do wish games would stop thinking they all have to have killstreaks/perks in a MP shooter though or give you all the guns from the start.

Graw was a perfectly competitive shooter and you didn't need perks or killstreaks and you had a choice of all the guns from the start.

I will be giving this some more time on MP that's for sure.

Anyone playing this on the PS3? If so, how does the game run and look?

I am currently playing it on the PS3, looks pretty good although you tell it runs at a lower res, and it has a pretty poor draw distance. So far the framerate has been fine, but I am only a couple of hours in so far.
 
Map load times are a bit irritating in the MP and the host does seem to get a lot of kills compared to the rest but the maps are great. The dog tag idea is a pretty good way to deter camping although it does irritate me getting killed trying to get one :D
 
It's gutting that the MP latency is sooo bad as when it's good it's fantastic to play.

The beta was better for me and because i had such a good experience on it i bought the full game.
 
Yeah I'm so used to xbl latency these days I don't even get angry or rage about it, I just accept it's going to happen in just about alll releases.

Year on year XBL has gotten worse instead of better.
 
I've got a question about the achievements in this game. There is an achievement for completing 6 missions on Veteran and an achievement for completing 6 missions on Supersoldier difficulty. I'm assuming that by doing it on Supersoldier I'll also unlock the Veteran achievements too? :)

At least I hope so because I'm not playing the game through more than twice, Hitman Blood Money is the worst for this, making you complete the game 4 or 5 times, once on each difficulty to get each associated achievement. -_-
 
Yeah they stack, but I have read that super soldier glitches a lot and needs fixing so you would still unlock Vet but might need another run through anyway at a later date.
 
Just need the veteran and supersoldier trophies next so a play through on supersoldier should do, not even bothering with MP. Rest of the trophies were very easy to get.

Thanks. :)

It was glitchy on Black Ops too, I completed the campaign from start to finish on Veteran but the Black Ops Master trophy didn't unlock for me, tried doing a few of the odd levels that are apparently glitchy but the trophy still didn't unlock so I never bothered going for it again.
 
Finished the campaign tonight, it was ok I guess, nice fun game boosted by neat graphics and cool weapons. Bugs are annoying though.

Need to play the original again :)
 
Run out of steam with it now, time to trade it in, just became boring, as most games seem to be nowadays, there all the same formula, and this main character not talking etc, really bugs me, how can you feel any empathy for him/ her, when they have no personality?.

I wouldn't, the first game seems so 'backwards' compared to the second one, the suit feels so much more clunky and restricted. went on the first one the other day and it just feels so dated by the new one, and it doesn't even look as good as it once did, people keep saying it looks terrible compared to the first game, that is utter, complete balls. ;)
 
I'm enjoying this game I'm currently on lab rat but the bugs seem a bit lame, do the aliens get any harder? I'm playing on super soldier they don't seem too challenging at the moment.
 
There's 4 aliens at the end that are harder but other than that it's the same difficulty all the way through.

I love the MP on this though, shame the matchmaking is sooo slow.
 
Just finished this on the Xbox 360 today. Good but you cant beat the visuals a good PC can offer. Unlucky for me as my PC is pants. The game itself was enjoyable but pretty easy.

The game is pretty good running on old console tech and who knows the next gen of consoles might run a crysis something like the pc does now .
 
I'm about half way through now and I'm enjoying it but starting to get a bit repetitive. Might be due to being on Supersoldier but it just seems like a case of cloak, assassinate, cloak, hide, assassinate, cloak, hide... Rinse and repeat.

When ever I've tried doing sections without killing people I spend an age planning and creeping only for my cloak to wear off in an awkward place or for me to be spotted by someone hidden on the other side of the area that I didn't see because he just blended in with the scenery. :(

Quite enjoying the story though, what I can make out of it.

The Multiplayer seems like fun though. Just a futuristic CoD! I just need to know what the best weapon is to use and refine myself with that.

I just use the scar on the recruit setting, rank 10's and below. The maps are absolutely excellent, some of the best maps I've played in a long while.

The balance though is all over the place. Why have stupid systems where the players that have played the longest also have the advantage of all the best gear.

The lag is as you expect with xbox live. One minute you drop someone with two bullets the next it takes a clip. I've had 1v1's where I can hear the thud thud as my bullets connect. I've caught someone from behind and I'm shooting them in the back. They turn around and I hear two thuds as they hit twice and drop me. Meanwhile I've emptied nearly a whole clip into them.

Xbox live isn't up to the job for FPS, infact it gets worse with games being released with a tagged on MP that they don't really care how it plays once it's released.

It's a very good idea, with great maps yet again ruined by host advantage.
