good game, a bit short. Only 3 hours of single player kinda sucked though
runs fine on my 9800pro

no DX 10-11, no voices ... don't try even dl it, 9go is a waste of time for this leak.
This is what I worry about. The leak is a not a "PC" or platform issue but an EA internal security issue yet there are people that will use this as an excuse to keep the PC as red headed stepchild platform.Quote:

After seeing the Crysis 2 multiplayer video, I am going to get it on Steam since KB+M will own all those joypad wielding players. :D
Is the multiplyer cross platform ?Quote:

If these pirates would quit being dicks and stealing everything, maybe normal consumers like myself and others could enjoy a game in peace instead of having to face ever more draconian DRM technologies. Stunts just like this one are what cause a publisher to demand more aggressive DRM in future developments. These pirates are the problem not just for publishers but for us, the regular consumers, as well.
to be fair, the HL2 leaked alpha was remarkably useless. it had like 0 actual content.
E: If I were crytek and I got a few million downloads on this leaked beta, I'd be exstatic. Assuming it's not terrible... there's no sense of giving out free samples of a bad product. No-one will ever buy it after that.

I phsically own almost 50 PC games and if I didn't "extended demo" most of them first I would honestly only own maybe 10? I'm not saying I went out and bought them all at full retail but if I didn't know the games were worth it I wouldn't even spend the $10 - $30 I do for the games. If the game isn't worth my money I'm not going to risk my money to find out, especially when demo's are becoming fewer and far between and more than ever they strip the absolute best out of demo's so what may seem like an average or sucky game is only so because they took the worthwhile stuff out and people are basing thier buying decision off of that.
Hell, if I didn't torrent I'd still be using a pirated Vista OS but instead I paid $100 for a W7 upgrade and used the last legit OS I owned, my XP. Hell, if W7 wasn't so fn awesome Micro:banana::banana::banana::banana: could have kissed my arse but I didn't want my PC to lose this OS as it's absolutely perfect for my current useage whereas with Vista, it was better than XP but not good enough to justify the fundies :P

I don't see how someone could of gotten a hold of this, it had to be leaked from within the company. Still going to buy it though, since I live in New York, and from the leaked videos it looks awesome, just one of those game I have to get :D
Anyway I wan't going to buy it without testing it.
And nobody should do it other way.
What in my post makes you think I like DRM? I hate the crap out of it and that is the entire point of everything I said. Pirates are making the situation worse because we have to suffer through this crap because of them.Quote:

i do have to say i did watch the beta videos on youtube and since this is an early build and the graphics are not turned up all the way it is really impressive! i think all of those that said that crysis 2 on pc will be nothing more than a bad port, or that cryengine 3 is terrible is going to have to eat some humble pie
you are right.I wont even bother with this leak.I will buy it for sure.an it aint a CONSOLE PORT ,now its PC PORTED to LAME CONSOLESQuote:

Lightning strikes thrice? Or maybe this is a "leak", and they want you to torrent it. If I were Crytek and I was confident in Crysis 2, I know I would.
I'm gonna get it and see what it's like without all the fancy visuals.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again:

Some people might use this as an excuse, and honestly get the pirate copy, then buy a legit copy when it's out and copy over the saves if compatible. Also, the American copies more often than not are uncut, and others aren't which is why some people import games, but then they will have to wait even longer. Country's and the industry are screwing legit users for the worse. Piracy isn't stealing, stealing is removing the original, piracy is making a copy. Bad or not, people are, have and always will pirate. Rationalization to oneself is sometimes more important than a sense of justice and 'moral standing' etcetera. If people want something so badly, and due to circumstance the only way they can get it is by pirating, then so be it. Personally don't care one way or the other.
im actually been waiting to see this for a very long time. why hasnt the pc been the lead platform and then ported over to the consoles? it would please everyone! watching the videos and seeing how well crytek handled the pc i am even more optimistic that battlefield 3 is going to be amazingQuote:

It looks like a quite good game but way too short. At least DNF according to the creators has like 16~17hrs of singleplayer which had been nothing special back in the days (if not a bit on the short side) but for a FPS game of modern day exceptionally great unfortunately...
When graphics gets better it seems the games only get shorter and shorter in average as it takes so much longer to design good environments and graphics for a game that has to look greater which makes ofc only sense. You can't just slap on some fancy textures on very squarish looking objects anymore and artists need more and more time to create great results too. It's no rocket science why graphics has taken more space away from gameplay these days.
That little inkling of respect that I might have had for you is now gone.Quote:

Anyway, thanks for admitting your problem. When Crysis 3 doesn't ship for PC, I'll know who to thank, you piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana:. :mad:
Now, I refuse to pirate anything. I did however watch the videos, and for the first time in a long time since Mass Effect 2 and Bad Company 2, I'm genuinely excited about this game. It looks great, even if it is on medium settings. If the retail version with very high settings looks like I think it's going to, this game will look absolutely stunning. Remember that the minimum requirements for both CPU and GPU are higher than the original Crysis. There's no reason to believe that this game will be anything less than great. :)
