***** The Crysis 2 Thread *****

Game appears to be too easy for me, all you have to do is lob on armour and aim for head.
 
My first impressions of it weren't great either. They should have used the original engine to be honest and that would have been miles better.

Ah well..... off to complete crysis warhead and admire the older engine over the newer one...

Sure you didn't have an online account for the original Crysis? Uses same system.

Played a bit, game play FAR too short. I spent more time waiting than playing.

30 seconds between 2 min games for a demo is pathetic. And you still lose connection every now and again. Crap system.

Looks quite nice, graphics seemed ok for me. The don't seem much worse than the original game. If anything, they are slightly smoother IMO.

Graphics > Gamer, Hardcore or Advanced? As a PC gamer am I supposed to know what the hell that means? Give me some options! EA are surely trolling with this :mad:.
 
Runs very smooth on my 5870 at 1920x1080/Hardcore. Graphics are very much like BC2, with maybe more detail and shader effects. Looks like the original Crysis, but graphics are much smoother (less aliasing) but at the cost of less microdetails. Also, colours seem much less vibrant and in many cases completely washed out due to the excessive blurring and bloom.

If I was completely impartial, I'd say it's a very decent looking game, in fact one of the best looking games out there right now, but compared to the original Crysis, I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. In short, it's exactly as I expected, a console version of Crysis - massively reduced microdetails and excessive blurring and light bloom; i.e. a game designed to look good on a big screen from a distance at low resolution (e.g. 720p and less), as opposed to a monitor up close at high resolution (e.g. 1080p and more).

I hope the full game as more precise graphical controls, but I doubt it will be that much better.

As for the gameplay and controls - Crytek can stick their consoles up their ****. :mad:

A very middle of the road meh from me. Am disappoint with graphics but not surprised in the slightest. The two arenas on show are too small for my liking, too deathmatchy if that makes sense. Crysis + multiplayer always sounded great but it has never worked right. Onward to BF3 with fingers crossed

Yeah you're completely right. Although to me it looks like a cross between BC2 and Fear 2; in fact, the interior environments look very similar to Fear 2. The objects are very geometric, very shiny.

Did have an "OMG" moment though, swimming through the water on the marina level, with the sun shining down at me... was lovely.

Consoles can eat my **** though tbh.

Don't expect the thrown in DX11 to make much difference to the visuals as the fact it's not even being shipped with the retail version just goes to show C2 is a console game on the PC and I'm guessing with some rather lame DX11 effects. Crytek just dumped all over PC gamers, they won't be getting another penny of me.
