Crysis MP beta now open to everyone!

Finished getting the beta client 3. Its seems to run faster and look better than 2. Heres a pic running 1280x768, everything medium on X2 [email protected], 2gb, X1800XT
Not too shabby considering, had quite a good game, well a run around and drive a few boats into people! how do you get weapons?

strange u should say that. I put it all in high and it dropped frames to around 10-15fps but in some cases looks worse! the textures look better but it seems to be overly bright and colourless. try everything in medium
 
i stuck everything on max settings and the difference was amazing:eek:
my card couldnt manage a decent fps to play but the difference was really good cant wait till next month for new card to arrive.
 
I tried it on medium once but never saw a nuke. Knocking down to medium (especially the shaders) wasn't for me. No HDR or anything. I'm gonna put up with shabby frame rates till I gets me a 2900 Pro.

Oh and press P in a bunker for weapons.
 
anyone tried the GAUS tank on medium? Mine shoots Tron like graphics at people, talk about OWNAGE, it must work by speeding there FPS up so high that they have a fit and I kill them or something? otherwise it just seems wierd
 
those mountains you see in the background of those pics, is it possible to go up them, and shoot down from them? or are they jusy a 2d backdrop you cant get to? Im wondering because some of these pictures look like big areas, and if the mountains are areas you can actully go to, i can see sometimes there being moments where you cant find anything to kill, simply because the environment is so huge.
 
The mountains are geometry, but you cannot climb them. The island isn't that big, and the action is always concentrated in one or two areas. It works well.

you can get close to the mountains and im sure you can climb them, they 3d not 2d backdrops, but when i tried i died cuz it detects me going AWOL and gives me a 10 second warning to return to the battlefield, then i end up dead.
 
I thought I'd try this game on max settings just to see what it could look like and its amazing quality, definetly impressive.
Unfortunately I forgot I had 2xAA on so it was like 10fps on my x1950pro


Everything in the background is real but you cant ever use it because its out of bounds, its nicely done because as you get closer it just gets more and more detailed. The sea bed looks great too except then you die of no oxygen, etc

Even if the gameplay were junk (remains to be seen), you could just leave it on spectate mode as a screensaver :D

Crysis have been working with mod makers from the start luckly so its not all down to them wether its good online or not.

A quick comparison of model detail seemed to show a maximum of 20000 polys for a crysis vehicle vs 8000 in BF2

And does anyone know what the unqiue ingame vehicle will be for the people with the special edition? im assuming itll just have a different skin, or slightly different model compared to the standard vehicles, but itll have the exact same stats (dmg, range, armor etc...) as the vehicle its based on. Or am i assuming too much and will it actully be better then normal vehicles (which i highly daubt as that would screw ppl who cant afford the special edition).
 
Still liking it but most servers are just unbalanced always one team doing what it should be doing and the other with lone wolf types all camping and sniping.
So i hope they limit snipers to two per team in the final.

thatll be in server config, but if history is anything to go by aload of unimaginative people will decide that whatever is default is best, brilliant rationale.
Like when for some retarded reason EA patched battlefield and set titan moveability to 0, and everyone decided it was better to stop them from being moveable :|

You cant get up them, but you could if you didnt die when you went out of the area. I went into spectate mode and went to the top of them, expecting to find either a hippy drum circle up there or a load of tribesmen having a smoke. The graphics from the top still looks quite nice and you can see stuff like explosions still
 
I take it i have to pay a subscription to fileplanet to download this beta?

I've got a key now just need the demo :mad:
