Purchased it today, had a quick 1hr game.
Firstly it runs like a dream, at 1920x1200 Extreme settings, but thats to be expected from what I'v been reading.
Graphics.... being good, are actually a step backwards for us PC gamers.
They literally consolized the game. Or rather that should be 'monetized' the game. In other words, they optimized the game so as to run well and look good for the consoles. Which is a kick up the backside for us PC gamers!
Gone is long vistas and foilage, and hello Mr square blocky textures and vertical walls.
I hope the single player is worth it!

true.
It's like when you play BC2, and you think " if they showed a killcam everytime you died, you might actually see how bad the hit reg is"
Probably stops a lot of moaningMoody, you got a final kill in one game, which was a double kill, and on the killcam, it only showed you fire 2 bullets and they didn't even hit them!!!!!
Yeah, remember that. Maybe the 2 bullets were deflected off the 1st guys ribcage & hit the other one ?
BTW Moody, we ran past eachother in a corridor, both uncloaked at the same time and started to mele for about 5 seconds, i have no idea how i got you there
I always die in melee fights. Normally because I forget about it & try to shoot the guy instead.
When I do remember, by which time I'm normally half dead anyway, my reactions are that slow that I generally can't hit the side of a barn
true.

Some servers do run with the killcam enabled.
And yes the hitreg is bad at times, depending on the server it seems, but it's still better now compared to how it was.

Why do people assume the reason the game was taken to New York was to let Consoles handle it? If it was another Jungle game it would be Cryteks FOURTH Jungle game in a row. Talk about getting the reputation of being a one trick pony.
Hmm I don't even have SLI/CF but still I am pretty sure MP doesn't go below 70 fps while some maps are maybe always above 80. Most maps averaging 90 - 100 fps overall gameplay feels very smooth - like the changes in fps are not as distracting as in some other shooters. Only exception being map "Lighthouse" which stutters despite showing decent fps.
Of course that is on "low" settings - you see ? You don't have to play MP maxed out. Actually I don't understand why someone would like to play it maxed unless he is running it stable @ 120 fps.
So DX11 can add some eyecandy in SP where the performance hit isn't that important and where there is still lot of headroom for let's say target 40 fps.
My finger's itching to hit the buy button... I keep playing through the 2nd level of the beta. Performance isn't great but the gameplay's awesome!
I'm still trying to hold out until I upgrade my rig in 2 weeks time but I'm not sure I can wait any longer

The setup in your Sig will run this maxxed out at 1080p perfectly.. Its not a system hog at all..

See its figures like that that worry me for the future of PC gaming... Remember the days when you could connect to an IP, that’s virtually non existent now.
Wonder if Crysis is the new halo?!?!?!
The sales figures are always going to look in favour of boxed units as that is all they count. Dont think I have bought a boxed PC game in over a year, but have got about 20+ in the last few months digitally.
How did everyone buy their copy of Crysis 2?

Got my copy digitally.
This may have come up, but I really dont like the lack of a save function. A smaller issue, hold jump to grab ledge, this isnt tomb raider. No mouse wheel down jump for me.

45 minutes and I can't take it anymore, this is terrible 
Standout moment for me is when I stealth killed a lone soldier, at which point 8 soldiers appeared in the same spot. That wouldn't have been so bad but despite being in stealth mode they starting firing at me :s
AI is atrocious, the first time I got the grenade warning I stopped for a second and they then blew themselves up!
Gutted that I paid good money for this, hopefully I have saved at least one other person doing the same. I'm going to uninstall and play through Mass Effect 2 again instead!
