that client gave my a black screen when i got into a game, i could see the player team indicators and my crosshair and a few white bits but rest was blank, are there settings in there that are buggy? to save me a lot of 'trial and error' im thinking one of the AA settings must be faulty?

I getting fairly high framerate with my 4870X2 (overclocked), also sorry to anyone who says this looks bad, you are talking utter balls. at 1080P its one of the nicest looking games I have personally played, still stand by my original statement that it looks better than original Crysis in a number of ways, things look much 'smoother' in Crysis II, hated how the horrible jaggy trees basically ruined the graphics of the original game, also sorry but they were terrible no matter what you did, AA or no AA. don't get me wrong Crysis was a beautiful game when it was playing, you don't really notice the jaggies too much when your blowing the hell out of stuff, but even if you stop and look around in Crysis II the smoothness of everything is much more noticable, plus the lighting is superb, the only (and I mean only) graphical problem is I get weird flickering water at times, not sure why and the texture qualities aren't upto Crysis I standards. but other than that (don't waste your time with 'you got bad eyesight?' crap) it does for me look better than the original, which considering this is merely a demo bodes well for the final release, it also runs faster and smoother. sure it plays a 'bit' like a console game, but I used to be a dedicated PC FPS man, with Americas Army, Unreal Tournament, etc. back in the day, been using my 360 more for FPS these days and I must admit I am much better player after doing so, Crysis II feels better with an xbox 360 pad than a keyboard, think the keyboard slows you down to be honest. 
but overall I think the demo so far is good, dedicated servers are absolute pants mind, since 9 times out of 10 all I get is 'server full' or 'cannot connect to server'.

This was taken with Fraps over a single multiplayer round lasting just over 7minutes and 30 seconds. With extreme settings and 1920x1080.

So when a CF profile is released for it we will see 6970's achieving an average of about 100-110fps? Apparently it is DX9 and won't be DX11 until after the launch so CF 6970 or a 6990 would expected to get an average of 80-100FPS in Crysis 2 the full fat version?
Here's a short clip I recorded of maxed settings during gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nrg15XVxfw
Can't say it looks bad but maybe lower settings it looks far worse?

whats with the rolleyes, because someone actually thinks Crytek has done a good job with Crysis II instead of bashing it left right and centre? big deal, I prefer it with a 360 pad, I mean Im not using aim assist or anything? whats your problem with that like? just finally coming to realise that so many people on here are never happy with anything, nothing Crysis II could have ever done would have been good enough. how about instead of sarcastic comments, how about posting something objective? and saying 'OMFG its totally a console port LOLZ' doesn't really count, because its not really getting a point across very well...
For what it's worth I think Crytek have done a excellent job with crysis 2 and we have yet to see the SP yet.
Some PC gamers will never be happy not until they have ****ed the last of the developers that really care about PC gaming Crytek, Blizzard and Valve by people saying it is a console port when it's not or turning to piracy.
Crytek have said they will add DX11 at a later date that's fine by me because the game look amazing in it's current state.

I only have 2x 8800GT's in SLI but hey it is still more than a 7 year old xbox can do.

Speak for yourself
heheThe leaked copy is far from polished, buggy as hell but the couple of levels I played before I got fed up of having to restart and resume were pretty good, enjoyable stuff
It's a massive download (9gb+) but it's a good way of sampling the SP game
I'll definately be buying this one!

The Dev's are doing a "Gaming with the Devs" day again, don't think it's been posted elsewhere, for PC and 360.

Anyone taking any screens from the demo?
I think the only obvious thing you will see when they release DX11 for it will be that the walls/ground will have some tessellation instead of being completely flat and more realistic looking water.

Just got round to playing the demo. There is nothing that I really like about it but nothing I really dislike about it either. It is just a bit.........meh.
Will be avoiding unless the SP turns out good.

Another video I just uploaded, bit longer, more of the map and it shows the use of the hologram attachment.

If you haven't done so already then it's worth adding the following command to your shortcut:
+hud_CrosshairSpreadMultiplier 1 (default is 10)
It's a small crosshair tweak which reduces its size.
