Crysis 2... Awsome!

Fair points Danny, most of the issues I have with the game are more my personal issues with it than technical issues, but I feel they could have made some things much better with a little bit more effort as the game it's self is really good, I think they just made the multiplayer a bland CoD clone with two differences; you can stealth and you can switch on armour.

Coming from the PS3 I'm not sure if this is true of all XBL shooters, but so far the majority of people on your team are more interested in just doing their own thing and trying to go Rambo instead of actually helping to take the objectives. I've never really encountered other players using the other things like air stomping to any tactical degree, there's always one retard just running around doing it in the wide open and then getting raped, but that's about it. Only yesterday did I see someone doing the power kick tactically, they used it on a car to block a doorway, and I've been playing a week now! :o

Kilcams in MW2 are highly superior to those in Crysis 2, first of all guns never seem to have any recoil in Crysis 2 killcams anf at least half of the time the killcam is showing someone shooting near me or nowhere near me, or just doesn't make sense at all. That rarely happens in COD the usual thing you see in COD is that according to the server you were actually somewhere else because of lag.

Totally agree with the killcam and the complete lack of recoil in the replay. Yet the weapons have quite a bit. I had a non laggy game yesterday where I fired a small burst and stopped to reaim and the player died with the two bullets I fired. It could have been lag or he was already injured. Not sure.

Yeah I agree team deathmatch is very frustrating in this, no one stays in a squad. You really need to and you can clean up wearing down 'shields' together. I've played one game on the car park level where we all stayed together, if someone died they came back to the car park and we cleaned up. Other than that I try to follow someone and kill who they wound :D

It certainly needs more work and has it's issues but I bet they just dump the game and move on.

Playing on the 360 anyone else think the game/graphics looks grainy ? and blurs a lot when moving around ??

They have gone overboard with the motion blur. Really noticable on the Aliens with red eyes. I know what grain effect you are on about, it is like it has been added to make it feel more computerised/like his POV via the suit. I only really notice it when stationary in the underground parts.
 
Love the SP. Was a bit meh at the beginning but the aliens are very cool and things do pick up when they arrive.

Only tried the MP for a couple of rounds so I haven't got much opinion. I will give it more time to learn the maps etc. My connection was **** but then it always is (I play off a dongle through my laptop). Having broadband switched on today infact (god finally!) so I will give it a better go when I am set up.
 
I just infiltrated the Hargreaves building, got killed a few times trying to get through the garage, finally got to the end of the garage and then fell through the floor of the level and couldn't get back up again. :mad:

It's worse with Capture The Relay or whatever it's called. Nobody bothers to either escort the flag carrier or help actually get the flag in the first place. It's just luck if you manage to escape the opposing team for long enough to get back to your base.
 
I've battered the MP on this over the past few nights and have managed to get up to lvl15.

I'm enjoying it.. Even though my kdr is only 1.08.. I'm putting that down to my connection.

I'm enjoying Instant Action the most.. I'm very rarely gonna bother with the team games.. As coming from a SGL counterstrike team I understand the importance of teamwork and communication.. Neither of which seems to take place online in Crysis..

You've just reminded me I need to do that level again for the achievement.

Think I might play it through or partially through on veteran for some more points then send it back and give bulletstorm a try.

I'm gonna finish this playthrough off on Supersoldier, then stick it on the easiest setting to go back and do the odd ones that I missed. Then play the MP for a bit, I'm getting into it a bit more now even though it annoys the hell outta me. :p

Ben, Is it like this?


If so, you can try a couple of things. Restart the last mission from the beginning, not "Resume Game". If that doesn't help, go back to the dashboard/memory settings. Clear the system cache. This will delete the game updates, but not the saves.

Then restart the game and download the update again. Then restart the mission (again, not resume). Does this fix the issue?

Tried what you said and it still looks the same after a 5 minute play.

I think maybe the game is surpossed to look like this.

Thanks for the advice anyway :)

Are you getting diagaonal lines moving across the screen? If so, it's not meant to be like that.

Doing what I said, the issue goes for me. But theres a massive thread over at the crysis forums about this. It happens on some dark/smokey levels/maps. I thought it was part of the game at first, I had it for about 5 missions. Then I looked it up and found there's a way of sorting it, it loked SO much better when fixed.

Trouble is..... it comes back quite regular.

I am certain you need to clear the system cache to get rid of it though. Then restart the mission from the start.

If it comes back, I'll make a 720p video of it, then me clearing it again. I'll whack it on youtube.

You don't have to steal the tank, enter the checkpoint by dropping through the grates into the sewers.. then stealth around everyone to steal the vehicle...

Hope this makes sense... and that I have the right level.

There are walkthroughs on youtube also... so if this doesn't fit the bill you could check on there..
 
Just completed my second play through this time on Veteran, I probably should have gone for Super Soldier because with all my Nano Suite upgrades from my first play through it wasn't that hard. It's been a brilliant game to play through and will definitely be keeping an eye open for Crysis 3 now.

I've also changed my mind about how good the graphics are as well, it's easily the best looking FPS on any console :p

Come on Killswitch, it's not any different on any other Xbox live FPS. They are all connection dependant. It's annoying but then xbox live is **** for FPS, it's not up to the job anymore and as more users over the year have been added it's gotten worse imho.

Crysis 2, like all FPS games, uses P2P hosting not dedicated servers.
Its not MS's fault your lagging, blame the matchmaking system (not helped by the fact theres hardly anyone playing online, compared to say Fifa or COD)

Yes I know all that I was generalising that xbox live is rubbish for FPS online rather listing each FPS that had P2P individually which would have taken me some time.

It should be unacceptable to keep pumping out games like this in 2011 with hideous host advantage.

Even Assassins creed botherhood was awful for lag. If it was a free service it would be acceptable in part but it isn't and some will start charging for online keys as well.

Quake was better on 56k over 10 years ago.
 
Quake also had a lot less going on!

Would be very interested to see if in the next gen perhaps, software developers start building games for dedicated servers, with server browsers built in to the matchmaking. Wouldn't be too hard for them to do, then they can sell dedi servers off to clan's etc I'd have thought on a monthly charge.
 
This game looks amazing, it reminds me of a mix of FEAR, HL2 and Crysis, which is definately a good thing.

I normally give games a chance but I'm slowly waning with Crysis 2 -

***possible spoiler ahead***

I have just made it to Goulds house and I fall out of the window and made it across the rooftops and you have to make a diversion for him etc etc...
Up to this point I think I must've done a good few hours but it's more or less been the same thing and not a lot has happened. Plus I've used the same guns - Marshall and SCAR throughout because there's been nothing better.
Does the game change and pick up from this point on or does it carry on with what I've done so far?
