Crysis 2... Awsome!

Lag seems to make it impossible to kill anybody.

It almost hilariously bad, game to game. One of the worst I've played for lag. 1 game I literally drop people with two rounds and the next in the same lobby I'm putting a clip in them. Hearing thuds of impact on them and hearing two thuds drop me.

I could have put up with it as the game is brilliant online when it isn't lagging terribly, but 2 out of 3 of the games lagged for me.
 
I've had this a few days and tbh struggling to get into it.

I'm only about 3 hours in, but it seems every time there's a firefight, the enemies just re-spawn, is it supposed to be like this?

Practically every level I've done, I've had to stick the invisiblity on and leg it to the next checkpoint, as it seems a waste of time shooting anyone, as they just re-appear?

Looks great, just wish i could find a game in there - or maybe there is and I can't see it :)
 
I didn't really notice them respawning unless you are miles away from the checkpoint/target you should be heading for.

I can only think of one occassion early on when i thought they were respawning. Even on hard they don't respawn. Sometimes more get dropped in from ships but you can clear them all out.
 
I've had a few times when I've hid behind a wall and shot the 3 close by. Then another 3 come to the same area. rinse. And another 3. And that was about 15 metres from objective. In the end I just had to put the cloak on and run past them to checkpoint. and this has happened just about all the time.
And by running past invisible, feels like I'm just bypassing the game.

Ah well, hope it gets better further in.
 
A couple of times it did feel like they were re-spawning. However, there is a limited number of enemies inany one area. You can certainly take them all out and then just wander around the empty landscape at ease.

I think it's bad design choices in certain areas, because as you say, sometime they appear to be re-spawning because they keep coming from the same area. I remember one point where they kept hopping over the same wall to get to me. I'd rather they dropped them more ramdomly around the map, as though your gun toting antics have attracted attention from all directions, not just one.

On the other hand.... you don't want every single enemy on the map at the same time, because if you alerted them to your position, you wouldn't last very long either.

Overall I enjoyed the game, but I am itching to trade it now as I can't see me going through it again. MP doesn't interest me at all. Shame there's nothing worth getting this week. :-(
 
Ah well, that's good to know, I'll give the next level plenty of time to attempt to clear the areas...I'm sure I'd enjoy it much more if I could pick them off rather than running away :)

Single Player is pretty dull - but I have to say, i am really enjoying the MP - put a good 25hours into it, if not more... it is a little broken mind - but nothing to unbearable!
 
Played a bit of it the other day and although not my favourite campaign, I'm enjoying it. Just need to get used to the game and it should get more enjoyable along the way.
 
Finally finished this last wed or so. Got to the point where I got bored trying to shoot everything as it was taking ages so did the whole stealth thing and breezed through the last 5 levels or so stupidly quickly! I enjoyed the end what I could understand of it but won't be going back to it.

As much as i enjoyed the MP at the start the lack of stability make it no fun so it'll be getting traded in shortly for something else. Worth a play through at least though just more of a rental.

Definitely more of a rental, I traded mine in also after completing it, I dabbled in the multiplayer but it wasn't very enjoyable for me personally, lag was even more of a factor than in something like Call of Duty. Still, I managed to get 700 gamerpoints without really going out of my way.

I bought it the other but I thought ill wait since the direct x11 patch has actually been officially announced last week.
 
Just finished the game for second time on the hardest setting, so easy with the stealth maxed out :p

Cleaned up all the single player achievement's as well ;)

At level 11 in multilayer at the moment starting to enjoy it ! takes time to get used to the suit's armour and stealth abilities, mastering it though :)

8/10 from me !
