I downloaded the demo and I wasnt really all that impressed. First of all why no demo of the main game? I dont like multiplayer.

I thought this, why can't we have a demo for SP and a demo for MP? I like both modes, but for some people, MP isn't their cup of tea.

^^ Sorry but no one cares what you get up to in your spare time.

Sry, couldn't resist. :p

Demo is alright imo, not great, not terrible.

Then again I wasn't expecting much from it in the first place. We all knew it was going to be a console port many moons ago when it was first revealed for the 360.

Infact, if someone can be bothered to find the original thread they'll find that it wasn't even clear that it was coming to PC back then.

I'm genuinely suprised that people are shocked the graphics (although still good) arn't up to Crysis ones standard. Didn't we already know this was going to be the case anyway?
 
For me the beta was just ok. They've quite clearly copied a lot from Call of Duty which i'm not keen on but imo single player is where it's at for crysis.

Let's not forget that the multiplayer was developed by a seperate studio, Crytek UK - formally free radical, the timesplitters guys who have never developed for the pc before. Crytek Frankfurt (the developers of crysis 1) are making crysis 2's single player.

I'm not going to judge the game until I play the single player tbh.
 
wow...

Just played the demo and feel mildly insulted, I mean I'm all for taking what other games do and improving on it, but all they have done here is copy cod4 to the absolute letter, the killstreaks are identical, the idea of unlocking 4 predefined classes then making your own is identical, the kill cam is identical, the ranking up system looked very similar.

I mean I hate activision, but I'd really be quite happy to see them sue Crytek over that, it's just a joke.
 
I'm getting nice frame rates, then a sudden 5-6 second stint of a frozen frame during play, once very min or so? Any ideas? Totally unplayable as it is :rolleyes:
 
I installed this a few days ago and have not yet been able to login once !! I've even created a new account on MyCrysis and can login to the site but again I can't login to the game at all .. any tips ?
 
I'm not getting the best performance on the demo, hardcore settings @1920x1080 and I'm averaging 40 fps with regular dips into the 30s. I kinda thought I'd get more or is the 470 not good enough?

Nvidia drivers 266.58.


Thanks

my tip would be...

GIVE UP!

its not worth it :p
 
it doesn't look at all bad, doesn't play bad either. been on it at 1080P on 'hardcore' (not even sure it changes anything?). the only graphical problem is, texture quality and even then its not really that noticable on the fly, the original game looked pretty average when the texture quality is lowered, so one could assume the 'very high' settings available with DX10/11 might be improved textures...:confused:
 
I managed to get in a game, and it was better than I expected. It's prettier and performs better than CODBLOPS (I know, not hard). Combat feels quite satisfying, though the FOV is dire. FPS ranged from ~70 on Gamer to ~50 on Hardcore, but there didn't seem to be much difference between the settings graphically.

I don't mind the new suit mechanics - they seemed to work well, and I loved the feeling of power-jumping from ledge to ledge.

Very unoriginal COD rip-off gameplay, but overall pleasantly surprised.

I still think it's dire that it has console references, a low FOV and non-customisable graphic settings though. Oh and the terrible lobby system - has no place in a COD-like game with dedicated servers.

The reason people's graphics cards seem to heat up in the menus is like Starcraft the menus aren't framelocked. The menu was displaying at over 1000fps on occasion!

D:\crysis2demo\bin32\Crysis2Demo.exe +cl_fov=90 +r_DrawNearFoV = 90 +pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov = 90 +r_MotionBlur=0 +g_skipIntro=1 +i_mouse_smooth=0

Add that to your shortcut target :p
