I want to buy this game so I can play multiplayer. When I tried the demo, most of the time I couldn't even log in, can anybody confirm this problem is not present on the final retail version?

Thanks for posting these pictures - but honestly, I've just spent two hours playing this title, and the game looks miles better in action, imo.
I'm getting super tired of seeing people trying to be the first ones to find something wrong with a game - and you just see it everywhere nowadays. It's just this constant flow of criticism.
Rarely does it seem that gamers are excited by what they're playing these days - almost like they WANT to hate stuff.
And honestly, it's kind of funny that you wrote this, because there are two people who post regularly at this forum... and I mean everyday... who haven't said anything positive about any game in literally months. I mean, it's impossible to tell if they even like gaming. I kid you not, they've bashed... every... single... game.

I agree totally. It seems like gamers these days (especially pc gamers) hate everything that comes out. I'm loving crysis 2 so far and it looks amazing on my 46" tv.
The only PC game that looks better than Crysis is Metro 2033. There may be one or two more when heavily modded.
Name me one other published in the past 2 years that looks better than 4 year old Crysis?
I laughed too, because saying "innovative multiplayer" in the same sentence as the previous Crysis games is a huge joke.<img snip>

I just think this is a lot of PC bias going on here, if I had a nickle for eveyone that posted whishing for the game to fail I'd quit working. A lot of people here just aren't going to be ojective about this game, that's more than obvious. Really other than texturing in places everything about Crysis 2 looks better and it's a TON smoother. There's nothing out right now that looks any better than this on the PC that I've played.

For whatever reason vsynch on this game didn't pickup 120Hz for me so when I turned it off I got an average of 50 FPS in 3D at 5760x1080 on Extreme. Smooth,beautiful and fun. The is just a technical update of the original, nothing new in the SP thus far but for the haters I don't know what to say. This game is beautiful, definately looks better than the original, performs well at it'a highest settings and looks great and performs well in 3D Surround. I've not seen ANYTHING that looks better on the PC, 2D or 3D and plays this well. Period.
Sure it tried, and it failed miserably. And I'm not quite sure how you can call it innovative. It was basically BF2 with better graphics and suit abilities, but none of the polish. It was buggy and laggy and un-fun.It at least tried to be innovative, cant exactly say the same thing for Call of Crysis 2 MP.

For Crysis 2, Crytek took a hard look at what makes the multiplayer in console shooters work, and used some of those ideas to make their multiplayer extremely fun.
But hey, don't let me stand in the way of the hate parade. Crytek can't do anything right. If it had been set in a jungle, it would have been too similar to Crysis and Far Cry. If it had better graphics, it would be unoptimized because nobody could run it. And now, because they've taken steps to make the game more fun and accessible, PC gamers are going nuts because they apparently like their gameplay rough around the edges. So please, anti-fun police, carry on.

Heh, dude I can't tell you how much I agree with this. You took the words out of my mouth. Some of the people here will never ever be satisfied. Crytek could have cured cancer and it wouldn't have been good enough, so whatever.
For Crysis 2, Crytek took a hard look at what makes the multiplayer in console shooters work, and used some of those ideas to make their multiplayer extremely fun. Just look at the reviews from reputable sites and from users in this thread. (Un-reputable sites include any which call the AI some kind of monumental achievement - ha!)

Consoles.How do you release a new generation of an engine that looks identical or worse than the previous generation? Imagine if Cryengine 2 looked the same as Cryengine 1. That is what has happened here, and it is easy to see why people are so upset.

ROFL @ your spin on 6 v 6 multiplayer with no dedis. Those things "work" on consoles because the 12 year olds playing the games don't know any better.
Another game that I'll be picking up years later when it hits the bargain bin.
Hopefully by then, there are some mods to make it look better... if anyone cares to mod it at all
Kyle and everyone else have the rights to their own opinion. Just because you think its good doesn't mean it must good for everyone.Crysis 2 is great for what it is. No wait, it's fucking fantastic for what it is. What were you expecting, seriously?
Fuck the haters... and this kind of poorly-reasoned, barely literate verbal diarrhoea is what I'd expect from a 13-year old Youtube commenter, not a HardOCP front page post.
Must try harder Kyle.
That would suckNo sandbox editor at release either so it will be a while if ever before custom maps come around. One rumor is that it will come this summer, but there's also rumors that it won't be a mod friendly sandbox editor but instead only the SDK. Considering that all the rumors so far have been true, that doesn't sound good.
There are several reasons why the haters are hating on Crysis 2; however, only one is on the merits of the PC version itself.
1. One group of haters is horked at Crytek for even doing a console version in the first place - throw in no DX11 support at launch and that confirms (in their minds) that Crytek "sold out".
2. A second group is horked because Crytek didn't do another hardware-busting PC-eater of a game.
3. A third group simply is mad that there's no DX11 support at launch, so they can show off the higher-end hardware features.
Unlike a lot of the haters, I happen to *appreciate* a game that is playable on hardware that I have right now. Throw in that it looks better (on the same settings) than the original Crysis and is not as taxing on the hardware - WIN!
And here's one other major point to be made comparing it to the original - Crysis was *not* playable on x64 on day one - it required two patches to fix that. Crysis 2 is x64 ready at launch.
Finally, why the heck should Crytek repeat themselves and build another hardware-busting game? They don't have a thing to prove there - not to their customers, and not to EA. However, there is something that nobody has dared do in terms of PC-based shooter development - build a shooter that is playable on middle-of-the-road PC hardware available today. (How many shooters when launched were actually playable on the midrange PC hardware of their day? It wasn't the case with UT, it wasn't the case with Quake - it wasn't even the case with the original Doom or Duke 3D.) Instead, it's been *only high-end PC gamers appreciate a good shooter* thinking. That has never been true - however, not many developers throught that way.
Crysis 2 is a game-changer. It's a PC FPS for average Joes and Janes with average PC hardware.
And there is not a thing wrong with that.
Damn Kyle. Tell us how you really feel.
Crysis 2 is great for what it is. No wait, it's fucking fantastic for what it is. What were you expecting, seriously?
