Crysis 2 multiplayer demo headed to pc!

havent got the demo yet but really auto aim???? how does that work?
 
Does anyone know if you can cancel steam pre-orders? So far I am not too impressed with Crysis 2.

There will be dx11 effects that will add eye candy if nothing else but the I'd be willing to bet the "Hardcore" we are getting in this demo, isn't the same "Hardcore" that will be available in Retail by the way of DX11.

Crysis 2 retail will only be DX9. There will be no DX11.
DX11 effects will be patched in sometime at a later date. (source)

I also read somewhere (but lost the link) that the retail game has encrypted cfg's (to prevent modifications), and no advanced graphics options as it is in the demo.
 
Avira is going crazy with demo, it keeps thinking there's malware in it >_>
 
I still can't even play the demo. Tried last night and again this morning before leaving for work. Tried MyCrysis and also using an old Gamespy account, both failed.
 
Wow. That's the first I've heard of that, what a way to drop the ball. I wonder what the cause is, there has to be some outlying reason. Doesn't sound right...

Fucking P-O-R-T

I seriously hope a lot of you guys are going to cancel your pre-orders and/or not get the game. They just took a steaming dump on PCs. Does anyone honestly think this looks better than the original? I sure don't.

Don't get me wrong I was really excited for this, not anymore.

It also runs like crap on CF/SLI - which was evident when my laptop had better FPS.

Doh, sorry, Drexion. Didn't realize you already made the post of it being DX9 only. In any case, further proof that Crytek put their primary focus on consoles for this and pc's as secondary. Sad, sad, sad.
 
Haha, just loaded up the demo.

I literally laughed out loud when I navigated through the menus. Started playing the demo and laughing even harder. What a pile of rubbish. How disappointing, I enjoyed Crysis too...
 
Yeah the multiplayer is absolutely terrible. If anything Crytek just lost another customer. I'll wait till Crysis 2 is $5 like Crysis was on steam.
 
Graphics are worst than Warhead, but it run at more than 60FPS in 1080p Hardcore in SLI on GTX 460, you have to install the latest profile from Nvidia..
 
Graphics are way too blurry on Hardcore for multiplayer to be playable on my end. If the full release doesn't have customizable settings for this stuff then I'm skipping it as well.
 
This is ridiculous.

I FINALLY got an account created on mycrysis.com and was able to login with it at the site. I go to login with it in the game and it STILL says "Nickname invalid." WTF?!

Tired of this bullshit...

I wouldn't even waste your time. It's hardly worth it.
 
Played the demo a bit. Shotgun seems worthless. I like the HUD, seems like you are looking through the visor of the helmet although it makes it hard to check on your vitals with just a quick glance. Turning on the camo makes cool things possible. Didn't like the FOV though. Something just seemed wrong. I felt claustrophobic. I've never felt that in a game before. Not even with Call of Duty.

Melee attacks felt worthless.

Think I'll pass.
 
Haha yep. Definitely a pass on this. I hope we see a single player demo, though. That will be a deciding factor whether I get this game at all, or if I spend $10 on a weekend deal from Steam on int.
 
All I get when I try to login is "There was an error. Check your network connection." No solutions in google, :mad:
 
Oh, and the server browser sucks monkey balls. Just like it did in Crysis 1, except that game was kind of fun so I dealt with it.
 
The motion blur is fucking ridiculous.
I played 1 map; then unistalled - My eyes couldn't take it.
 
I'll bet this game won't even sell that well on consoles either. I have this feeling that if Crysis 2 was PC exclusive, it would have actually sold as well or even better than being multi-plat right now. Crytek assumes by developing for consoles, they'll make a bucketload of money but its not always guaranteed. Those guys already have plenty of games to play where they can easily overlook this, whereas PC gamers are familiar with Crysis. They've just whored themselves out.

I think by trying to cater to the console crowd, their going to lose a nice chunk of PC sales as well as not a great reception from console gamers anyways. Great job Crytek. :rolleyes:

But.. but..!! PC PIRACY!!!!
 
It's no wonder Crybabytek has been so reluctant to release anything Crysis 2-on-PC - Yerli & Co clearly knew it was shit.

They are flipping the PC gamers off while trying to pull a swifty on console gamers. How the mighty have fallen.
 
You can skip the intro and change the FoV by adding
Code: 
+g_SkipIntro 1 +cl_fov 80
to the shortcut.

I made this quick gif to show the difference between default and 80 fov. Damn whatever the default is, it's pretty low. Probably 55-60 or so.

The higher FoV is a bit unplayable though, as everytime you run the FoV changes to some hardcoded value which causes this very annoying zoom in/zoom out fov change whenever you run/stop running. I set it back to default for now until a more robust solution is found.
 
Also I got pissed off when the main menu told me to "Press Start". What the fuck? Can we not get a decent port nowadays?
