oh yeh it is well established. what i meant was in terms of my preference. i enjoyed cod, but this tops it for me, and i doubt ill be playing cod anytime soon when this comes out

as for my 2 cents, i know alot have been saying it's like cod and i gotta agree with those statements. the only difference is the nanosuit and u cant get 200 kills in a round. they didn't stick with the uniqness of the original, game play isn't the same anymore. they changed what they originally had to something thats been around for 10 years. i believe they could of started a new side to gaming and got bigger, they were different in everyway and with this release i am not 2 impressed. however i will buy the game cos i need another game to play but it's not someting i am going to b leaving work early for or staying up all night playing.

and still cant believe they haven't fixed that hit reg bullshit.

anyway we shell see what happens in the full release.

Getting a thigh amuptation in a sterilised, 21st century hospital by expert surgeons and doctors, and getting shot in the leg are two completely different things.

Surely you've heard of the Femoral Artery? If that gets cut, you're fucked.


It's just one of those things that just makes me stop playing the game and ask what they were thinking.. then I realise its an arcade game and I just walk away.

But you can't really question it though. The game is set in the year 2020+ the story revolves around a solider in a nanosuit, which doesn't exist defending New York from aliens. Besides they must of done the damage increase to the arms because in a 1v1 the other player most of times faces you so there arms are covering the chest to fire so if they made the arms sustain less damage then you will have many complaining about the high amount of shots to kill a player.

getting too realistic there doggy lol. next thing ya know, people are asking why the player isnt stumbling whilst getting shot in the leg, or why the player isnt slowing down after being pummelled by bullets

no one really shoots for the legs unless they can't aim of course lol. ill go for a headshot or the chest depending on what type of cover i have. only time i go for the feet is if its the only thing i can see of a player. increase the damage to legs and then no ones going for headshots lol.

They've certianly done something to the servers lol. I was getting a ping of 9 by the end of my session tonight LOL. Oh, and the scar is rediculously overpowered. Using another gun makes it a bit of a challenge.

I do..

Because I can't aim

I don't think anyone would stop shooting for the head, given headshots are recorded and its prestigous to get them.
And yeah, most people aim for center of mass anyways, which will get the torso or head.

or nothing at all when we talk about hit reg and crysis 2

I just can't believe they made cloak even more annoying than in the first. I am constantly walking right past homo's in cloak and getting shot in the dick because of it. At least in the original you had a chance to survive if someone got the jump on you, but with the ease of death in this game it's getting increasingly frustrating. Not to mention you could hear the homos in the first game. I really dislike having to run around the map constantly changing in and out of nano vision just to check for gaylords hiding.

I hope the full release differs a fair bit or i may just skip this one.

man, my biggest kil booster was the cloak detector, once you have that installed they are glitching homos and are easy kills, give that ago

Um boots if you didn't know that cloak detector is shit, it only works sometimes, from what ia gather its only when they enter cloak in your vacinity other then that its fuckn useless, as for entering nano vision constantly, i understand where your comming from Jim, its fuckn gay having to toggle that and balance its usage with speed mode, and armour etc, not to mention when you get in the shit you have to disable it or it takes away from your energy you can use for better use like armour. its a real fuckn peice of shit

Yeah I'm starting to get over how noob friendly this game is atm. Hopefully that changes when everything works properly. And hopefully it was a one off seeing some Aus servers flooded with dumb pingers.
I also wish they would make you live for longer but I doubt that would change, annoying to be running about but then die from the most spastic spray.
Still mixed feelings about it all right now. Not simply cod but simply not Crysis enough yet.

g_revivetime = 0 would be good...

Also just had my first game with a hacker, great.

i use it all the time, its one of my perks, and it works all the time for me, clearly showing where they are, maybe its the graphics difference, mine being on high apposed to being on low maybe, i dont know but it works

boots

well thats one thing for one person.....crytek thats a good score you have there

yeah i got mine cranked to the max too boots, maybe its just Cryteks lastest fail of a game

I don't think I'll be buying this game. I have enjoyed this game to a degree. Though not to the degree where I would go and fork out $100 for it. Its a great game in it's own right. Just not great for me. As Ava said, and as I have said to some people on TS. Its not CoD, but it's certainly not Crysis. I'll still keep in touch with everyone though

the question is if there was a full on vanilla crysis mod which brang back all the original great stuff from the original....would you people buy it and then play the mod?

because i'm sure there wiil be a huge amount of modders that will be wanting to do that

it begins......

Well im still trying to like this game but i fear unless things change with the retail release it could be a lost cause for me.

Lol, sorry about that jimmy I was just on a hot streak last night. Going back to the scar made things too easy.

I find that I'm listening more for the suit changing mode sounds than footsteps now. I've always found the cloak detector to work. The one that tells you if someone is nearby on the other hand, is only is stereo which is useless with surround.

I'd probably play the mod more, but only after finishing vanilla Cry2.

Depends on how good the mod is as to whether I'd buy it asap or wait for bargain prices.

at the same time, I don't just want Crysis 2.0
It'd be nice to mix it up a bit with some new features I'm sure people can come up with, just as long as that core gameplay is maintained from Wars (preferred the pace in that game than vanilla, which I didn't play much)

just FYI - most likely moddable...









Seems theyre still using lua ;D

havnt tried modding anything yet.... might try and see if it works ingame .. tho repacking might be a problem.

I can confirm power struggle is IN the game still (:

sorry to disappoint the preorder-eres the dog tags are achievable by alittle modding


Game modes:

Type name="GameRules"
Attr name="SinglePlayer"
Attr name="AllOrNothing"
Attr name="Assault"
Attr name="BombTheBase"
Attr name="CaptureTheFlag"
Attr name="Countdown"
Attr name="CrashSite"

Attr name="InstantAction"

yeah bud i already knew about that extraction way...was having fuck loads of problem repacking and shit so i think i'll pass......dont know if you should posty up screenies....but this is older than the leaked version and that had more stuff than this....

edit:
also the full version will be released like wars.....all the pak files will be just in the folder.....the nigel thing is just to keep hackers at bay for the demo while they get punkbuster and crytek implemented anti cheat solutions with the full release

Tulzer @ your avatar don't you mean Crysis 2 or Modern Warefare 3, cause if there ever was a Modern Warfare 3 it would pretty much be what Crysis 2 is now. The demo needs to not do minor rip offs from CoD and try to be something its not.
I guess I'm griping but meh. I'll still buy it I think if not for multiplayer for singleplayer and even that seems like its going down the shitter (storyline wise).

sp is looking to be great. have enjoyed watching the trailers for the sp. especially the one that picks up on prophet's journey. will be the first thing i jump into

my first impression is alright, now i love it.

Ive been playing it every night for a week on Xbox. Just 2 maps, limited equipment, graphics still arent up to scratch and yet, it shits on Cod.

On the second round i played i did awesome, i got a triple kill and I came first in the match by alot of points. I got the Lone Wolf dog tag, the Pardon? (i think thats it) dog tag and the Genocide dog tag.
I really enjoy it, cant wait for the campaign.

Im also suprised at how many people play it
Atm i think im in the 30000's of world rank. But i noticed when i first started playing it was somewhere between 140,000 & 150,000, thats a fair few people.

after browsing through Nigel, i actually think Crysis 2 will be a great game, the PC demo was impromtu for crytek, which is probably why it seems abit iffy / but i reckon it will turn out great.

Yea its not like crysis vanilla or wars, but moving on is what gamers do

WTF = "PowerStruggleLite"

Silky smooth eye candy after taste and only half the calories.

I think that removing the energy factories and having a fixed rate of increase could be an option for PS lite. Simpler to understand.

Idk if I understand that.. lol. Good small PS maps would work. But we don't know if half these modes will even be touched. We can only hope.

o.0 lite.... probably just infantry maps. I could image Crytek creating a DLC for the vehicles....

If we had to pay just to play on maps that support vehicles, Crytek can go fuck themselves.

*NOTE* That's a big 'if'.
.. or is it?

vehicles are looking promising

Unlike most people on this forum, I really enjoy the demo. I have no problem with cloakers because I cloak a fair bit too
And now that I have changed the controls to suit me its way more enjoyable. I'll defs get it and might pre-order it
Will be good to see how the other modes play as I think crash site is a really good team mode (except for the people who don't go for it)
It's nothing like crysis 1 and I think its a step in the right direction. I like how its more noob friendly too because there are more close games rather than ava just running around owning everyone in wars

Yeah its noob friendly, abit too much though. It is to easy to get 3+ k/d. That's something that will bring the new players in and also drive out the original guys.

Came across my first hacker yesterday. Firing a jackal twice the standard rate, within cloak with nanovision enabled kind of gives it away. That being said, he was a really bad hacker and came almost last.

Also tried out what the lag was like over long distances, and I must say that I'm impressed. I was playing on a seatle server with a guy from crymod and the only time I noticed the lag was when sniping. 250ms is certainlyplayable and doesn't really detract from the gameplay.

The lag on the chat still annoys me though.

well i just got a refund from steam for Cry2, as much as i play the deo cant really get into it, hopefully bf3 will b good when it comes out.

Well I will pay off my pre-order soon, I bought gay ops why not a game that is much better ?

Its impressive that you are able to play on a American based server without getting any in game lag.

The pistol is pretty BS since it shoots as fast as you can click so Armor mod + pistol = win, not to mention that when you go to punch someone your character does a little speed boost to get closer fast, so all you got to do is press crouch so the other player has no idea whats going on.

Light machine gun is op as well

I really enjoy the demo! I dont understand all the hate, cloakers arent a problem if your an armour addict like me, once you hear them or they start shooting, if your quick you can always kill them before they kill you. And its not really "Noob Friendly", theres still people on the scoreboard who have 17/k 5/d and those who are 6/k 12/d.

@ SeiGe,
The LMG is ok (its great if you have the Aim Assistance armour mod), but i use the SCAR with Reflex and Silencer or the DSG1 with Reflex.

The thing that bugs me is the shotgunners, the Jackal has crap range but if they get close enough its a 1 hit kill. And, im not sure if its the Reflex Scope or the Aim Assistance mod that helps this, but one of those gives the Jackal extra range which is very annoying. And I think it would be good if the running/jogging pace was increased a little, its a little frustrating when your low on energy and you have to get out of an area at a walking pace.

Glad someone agrees with me



This TV trailer is terrible, rap doesn't work with Crysis:



Here are some better alternatives:

Yeah I thought that the TV spot was well below the quality of the other too. haven't had a look at the alternatives.

they should of used the original preview of crysis 2....with some recent gameplay footage for the add.....but once again crytek shows that they have lost touch with what is good and what shouldn't be done

If you're talking about the tubedubbers i posted, you're in for a surprise.

Still haven't clicked them Mr. Dog lol.
