You can't be serious... the leaked beta itself had already all this stuff. It was a nearly final build.Quote:

because the games Multi GPU support is mostly broken on both AMD and Nvidia. the more and more I read about Crysis 2 and the engine the more and more I see that It was made for consoles and ported PC as an after thought. It's a real shame because the guys at Crytek who make these engines have some real talent for making an engine for PC. considering Crysis is still one of if not the best looking game to date and that was in 2006.....Quote:

Though multiplayer is messed up pretty bad atm, I still enjoyed the single player, played it on hardest diff was a blast. I already figured it was going to be consolized but I still preordered it since I enjoyed other 2 Crysis games single player, once they fix multi so servers dont break randomly I will have some more fun, but it should hold me over until Portal 2 and Battlefiled 3
Some screenshots I took throughout the game, sure they will be some spoiler screenshots I guess

Ouch, that's ugly... but I gotta admit business-wise it's a good decision to go to consoles.Quote:

this is a cool tool for tweaking.
my buddy with an old Amd FX-57 cpu and 9800gtx gpu was able to run crysis2 more smoothly. (lol this is a joke he cant run crysis 1 and a can run crysis 2)
What I really hate about the new crysis2 sp is that there is next to no interactive physics... You can destroy nothing... not even the trees break anymore... thats such a huge step beckwards compared to crysis1... there you could chop trees, blow up the huts and they would blow up somewhat realistc...
That's just sad.Quote:

BACKWARDS
It's all well and dandy if you want to develop a title simultaneously for the consoles or bring a console title to the PC. But when you start with a PC title known almost exclusively for its stunning visuals and environments, and then fail to stay at the same level and even regress for its PC sequel, you lose pretty much any and all credibility as a quality PC developer.
several steps backwards maybe, but the lighting completely pwns crysis 1
It's a tighter single-player experience than the original Crysis. I liked the huge areas of the original, though.
I have played for couple of hours and now as I have a credibility to say, achieved by stupidity v3.
First, when you load press enter immediately gives you a heads up the beginning of the end is near. Second, what kind of mega stupid design is that you can't change your graphic settings manually? What is the catch, I have to imagine my sliders were on high if I put hardcore? This is most pathetic as I have to use a third party app provided by someones courtesy.
In game, AI is mega stupid, almost as there is none. There are two guards talking, I silent kill one of them, and they continue conversation as nothing happened. :D
There is no environment destruction and all round level of interaction is pretty low.
Graphics is nice though, but not that nice to justify that on my rig game runs like crap even on the lowest settings. Truth be told, I don't have the newest card either, but I ain't either buying a new one for this.
Overall it is quite bad provided this is the kind of game which is sold because of the graphics as the storyline is crap and gameplay is not quite compelling.
Dang this is the worst one i've seen.. those bottles look like super nintendo 64 textures, what happened to 100% real time, no procedurals, etc. joke BS.Quote:

yea i did buy 3 copies for a lan party, and it was worth it becuase people like what they have done with other parts of the game however its clear that blur and fog are way over used to cover up. yes its the best dx9 i've ever seen but it falls well short - and with no destructible environments its another huge let down.
Please patch with a full dx11 OMG its crysis again patch - or "cry engine 3" will go down as the best console engine ever.
Depends you can easly make it look like crysis 2, thought there are some features missing like gi. Also the lightshafts/godrays are imho wa to overdone in crysis2... they are everywhere, when in RL there has to be certain conditions to even see them.Quote:

Hell just look at the vehicel section... in crysis you had a god damn larg scale tank battle.. all you get in crysis 2 is a punny apc driving along a 10m road for 5min.. and nothing can hurt it... or even worse, you get a scripted sequence where you only can controll the turret. :down:
Also respawning enemies suck big time... why do we need that.. first on spawned all enemies and they did there routine till you killed or outmaneuver them... now you have stupid bullet sponges that respawn indefinitely till you reach a certain area...
some low quality textures seem like a downscale form the originals to save memory because of the consoles, what I don't understand is why they didn't put the original textures on the pc version, they could still put them via a patch like Bioware did with Dragon Age 2..
Try this one on Super Soldier Mode and you'll see ... :yepp:Quote:

As for people hunting for spots with bad textures, you can literally do that with every single game ever made. In motion the game looks damn good, and I'm finding the single player thus far to be a fun experience.
Personally, I'd assume that we'll end up seeing better textures with the DX11 patch.

I think it's completely rubbish looking, no matter what settings you run it at.
It just changes the lighting and reduces jaggies on that 2D rubbish from the late 90's/early 2000's.
What does that sentence even mean ? :/ even if it was meant to be offensive, i'd report that for making no sense lolzQuote:

I disagree, texture quality is pretty muched fixed on a console due to memory. But the lighting and general calculation algorithms are clearly better done than on any other console game. What's the next best engine anyway for the xbox360 platform? Unreal 3? Sure crysis 2 might not look superficially better due to console constraints and artistic direction and what not you can tell that much more is happening behind the poor texturing.Quote:

Also kill the enemies, then go have a look at the fine details around.
The game covers up all it's graphical flaws by adding alot of blurring and lighting, also adding loads of enemies to try and stop you from actually looking at the scenery.
#Edit, well uninstalled the game. Gave it to my friend. He was never able to play Crysis 1, so at least his 8800gts is serving him well now.
Found it, most of the bottles and stuff are 3D rendered, what you're looking at is the one particular case that rubbish floats on water am I right?Quote:

Personally, I'd rather have a decent looking game that runs well rather than a killer looking game that does exactly that. Kills my hardware. I think the majority of gamers should be able to run this well at their monitors native resolution. I don't think the majority could say that about Crysis 1 when it was released. I know many of you want graphical advancement and progress, but at what cost????
Well that leaves me with 3870, right? That is still better than 3850 and at least au pair with 8800GT, which should at least net me 1680x1050 and gamer, right?Quote:

Indeed, i tried running crysis 2 with dual 5770s but that was just a pain in the ass. Now i get much higher fps and smoother experience with crossfire disabled :p:Quote:

there are a lot of spots in crysis 2 that have subpar textures. often objects that you can't even avoid and downright catch your eye...
don't get me wrong. crysis 2 looks beautiful - the lighting in crysis 2 is just miles ahead of the lighting in crysis 1. vanilla crysis 1 doesn't look that good - i've replayed it a few weeks ago and i was quite shocked :p: however, textures are definately a step (or even two steps :() backwards. yet again i blame the crap consoles. well, old story got old - unfortunately, that's nothing new. the only new thing is that this time it hit crytek, which were famous for pushing the limits of graphics.
so far, the sp is decent and fun to play (except that there's no possibility to save except at the autosave checkpoints...). the mp on the other hand is a total mess. even worse than the demo (which was quite bad already).
i hope crytek patches the sh*t out of the game, else i'll get über mad :shakes: + i still have hopes the so called "dx11 patch" sees the light of day and improves the graphics.
I left HDR and Bloom at 0. Was not in the mood to play with the settings.Quote:

The game runs much better than the first ( and Id sooner have a nice looking game with solid performance than a bleeding edge pixel orgy that requires a rendering farm to play ), I found it to be more engrossing and it feels much more polished. The production values are evident and I honestly don't think the game would have been the same as a PC only release. It might of looked better but the product as a whole likely would have suffered due to budget constraints. As a game, it is one of the better experiances I've had in recent memory.
I found things felt much more alive than the first Crysis ( being it was only an island chain and odd mine / military encampment not hard to see why ) As far as the AI though it has its issues and I've seen better but it got the job done for the most part.
Story is kind of all over the place but interesting none the less. And got to love the Hans Zimmer :up:
I'll probaley play through it again and a bit differently when the DX11 content is available ( merely out of curiosity, I honestly didn't find the game lacking visually )
I hate the crosshair :( Is it possible to make it (much) smaller?
No the AI is by far not sufficent.. its even worse then in the first game... wana see how bad:
Just made made a few minutes into a random level in replay:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o15nllSS7ns
You can basically finish all levels with cell personal that way, and even most of the basic aliens grunts fall for the same cheap playstyle. Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow more then on shot in cloak mode and staying cloaked obviously never played the first game... In crysis 1 cloak already was pretty much op... now its god mode.
The only thing I'm glad is that Crysis 2 is more optimized than the first game but too bad its a console port with dumbed down textures and a lack of graphical options. Hopefully if Crytek releases a patch with DX11 like they said, we will get more out of it.
Great find Final8ty, thanks :up:Quote:

Great, a patch for something that should've been available from the day one. :up:
Though this won't be a plus in my book, at least they are fast to address it. Not as them 3arc tards who failed to deliver a fine working product for 5 months now. :rolleyes:

The only difference between unupgraded cloak and upgraded cloak is drain time... it just gives you a few seconds less.
Also I used cloak only 1/6th of the time in my first play thorugh. Cloak just exposes the crap AI to the max. In crysis 1 the enemies at least have shot randomly around after you have killed a npc that was near by and not just stand there and watched there comrads die.
I play in super soldier mode and the game is quite challenging. One mistake means most of the time death.

I'm waiting to see how this patch goes. If the multiplayer is any good (assuming it's working now), I might pick it up for that to help hold me over for BF3, as Bad Company 2 is getting a little long in the tooth for me.
How large are the multiplayer levels? Are they the same itty bitty Call of Duty MW2 type levels? Or can you actually spread out a little?
I HEAVILY feel that it won't just be a switch to a DX11 executable...

http://gamingbolt.com/rumour-crytek-...1-for-crysis-2Quote:
When it was announced that Crysis 2 will not be supporting DirectX11, Crytek was met with a lot of criticism, and it got lesser scores than what it should have… well, more or less.
NVidia was reported to have spent around $2 million for marketing of their graphics card, GTX 590. They made a deal with EA that allowed them exclusive features for the PC version of Crysis 2.
According to the rumour mentioned in the title, the money NVidia paid to EA was not for marketing, but to delay the support for DirectX 11 in Crysis 2, so that players would have access to their graphics card when DirectX 11 ‘s support was released. The rumour also says that DirectX 11 will only support GTX 590 in Crysis 2.
NVidia have been notorious for such stunts before. They did the same with Arkham Asylum, which got disabled every time it read AMD’s ATI Radeon graphics hardware.
AMD’s Ian McNaughton later confirmed this. He said: “Additionally, the in-game AA option was removed when ATI cards are detected. We were able to confirm this by changing the ids of ATI graphics cards in the Batman demo. By tricking the application, we were able to get in-game AA option where our performance was significantly enhanced. The option is not available for the retail game as there is a secure-rom”

Hopefully Crytek does right by PC Gamers on this.
Anywho, with regards to multiplayer, how large are the levels? Are they the tiny little things that are intended to keep the gameplay in frenetic "spawn, shoot, die in 15 sec or less" mode ala COD, or is there actually enough room to spread out and play with a little more tactics? I tried watching some of the multiplayer gameplay vids on YouTube but couldn't really get a good feel for it since a lot of them have the guy taking the same route every time.
