Crysis 2 multiplayer demo headed to pc!

PGHammer said:
Here's the reality - high-resolution gaming with a lot of (let alone all) features possible is a real PITA to code, even for a casual game. It chews up time (development person-hours), disk space, and (naturally) money. How has that tack impacted sales of Metro 2033?

1. It's Russian and therefore not revolving around an American setting (why else do you think Crysis 2 is in NYC?)
2. It's not Call of Duty
3. It's not Halo

The second image looks extremely washed out to me (might just be overkill post-processing). It just doesn't look anywhere near as sharp as Crysis did. But if they make up for lesser quality graphics with some epic action and physics then I can live with it.

Edit: Actually I found this Crysis 2 Leaked Beta - First 25 minutes - Max Settings

It's looking pretty good in motion.

Edit again: It's looking REALLY good. The environment is so detailed. :D

And that pretty much sums up in a nutshell what folks griping about Crysis 2 are horked-off about.

METRO 2033 is urban/underground, not open or jungly.

I have the MyCrysis.com page (in fact, their General Forums page) open in another window, listen to folks griping over the smaller squad size.

They were trying to compare Crysis 2 to COD 3 (which has a 9v9 MP option for some maps), forgetting which maps have that option.

Urban ops are bad enough without deploying too many men. (That rule is another reason why even STRYKER brigades don't deploy en masse.)

Think SWAT, GRAW, or even Rainbow Six (Rainbow Six most importantly, as they practically *never* are set in non-urban locales).
 
Not been able to get into a game so far, have to create an account and it just seems to sit there saying "creating account" for the last 5 or so mins.

How long did you wait for your account to be created?
 
Oh sweet. Worked for me too.

edit: Played a few rounds. Seems like CoD on steroids.

Anyone else finding sniper is way overpowered? I can't tell if Armor mode does much. I don't really take anymore damage.
 
Just played the demo for a few hours and I really hope the full version has a working dev console so I can fix all the shitty consolitis that is in this game. Narrow FOV, toggle crouching, aim assist to name a few. Even if you can disable it, bet some players are using it with a mouse just to have an advantage.


Not impressed at the moment, but hopefully the full version will be more....feature-rich. Back to Wolfenstein ET til then...

Game runs like crap in eyefinity, but on one monitor it runs really, really smooth.
 
Wow this game is bad. Nothing like gamespy, a lobby system, and aim assist.
 
jesus christ, the demo is so obviously a no effort port

crytek is a fucking joke if this is what the retail will look like.
 
Meh... another consolized CoD/Battlefield clone. Was mainly interested in it for the single player campaign, but the multiplayer is so awful it's causing my interest to drop rapidly...
 
I can't create a new account, I can't reset my password (didn't even know I had a mycrysis account..), and so on, browser keeps timing out. Why do we have to go through this with every single game launch? Sigh...
 
That powered by Gamespy(ware) logo always makes me roll my eyes. I know they offer it for free and all now, but god damn Gamespy(ware) is shit. At least it doesn't require using a Gamespy(ware) ID.

Are you new to Crysis? It never was a multiplayer blockbuster. Also Crysis Wars looked and played like shit compared to the single player game.

I see Crytek is doing the strategy of making a game that will be unpopular on both consoles and PC because their original PC game didn't do as well as they wanted. (In spite of doing pretty well)
 
Anyone else not able to create an account? It just hangs at "Creating account" for me.

I knew it was gonna be bad the second I saw "Press START to Continue."

Press Start was a dead give away. They probably gave it to us because of all the whining, so a port it is. Looks better than BlackOps at least.

Does it hang in game or on the site?

I guess the response to every PC game that disappoints someone is "console port", probably picked that up from the other douche bags that said it.
BF3, someone will console say "console port" again if a demo is released, it's the easiest thing to say to sound cool. Just say you don't like it, won't buy it and move on.

I think it is a shitty console port though...Press START to continue, shitty FOV, Temporal AA, locked settings.

It just says "Creating Account" forever. Can't get past that screen.

Agreed. I felt zoomed in when it started and the settings are stupid. Just saying that there won't be many games to play if we refused to buy 'em since many big title FPS PC games are ports. People are still buying BlackOps in DX9, no complaints there. I judge Crysis by it's single player campaign.
I didn't play Crysis Wars for more then 10mins, then went back to the single player.

Yeah, the ridiculous blur and claustrophobic FOV sucks. I'm sure EA is going to blame us PC players if the game bombs too.

They really need to release a single player demo with DX11 and full settings accessible before the game launches. I definitely won't buy without one.

Yep, runs like shit on my machine. Can't change settings. Lame as hell.
 
Played a bunch of matches and on the plus side I was at or near the top in all of them.

Never had motion sickness or whatever you want to call it with a videogame before, but this demo does it. i can only play a few games in a row before I have to quit so my eyes can readjust.The blurriness is just mental. No config file either, unless someone can figure out a way to open that "Nigel" file as it does have folders in it. Runs at 40+ at 1080p "hardcore" on my system. Feels like 60 though.
