EA and Crytek how did you do this

Post » Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:33 am

Seriously EA and Crytek I have heard of screwed up game launches before but this is ridiculas. I have been trying to get your game to work all night. I had to create a new profile just to log into the game. That did not help me activate my pre order items. It still asks me to log in even though I'm already logged in. I can't get into any multiplayer games since either it says my serial code is in use or if I do get into a lobby the countdown timer gets to 1 and keeps going and going and etc. Pathetic.

I wonder if this game is good?

For one EA is screwing gamers in the ass for money lately so this does not surprise me.

why i say this: look at what they are doing to the console market (YES I KNOW CONSOLES ARE NOT PCs NO NEED TO TELL ME THIS!) but they are charging extra money if you purchase a used game. This tells me EA is money hungry and will do ANYTHING to **** you over.

I've never been able to log on. And when I skip to play Campaign I don't see any character models.

I don't have console so this won't affect me in any way but I find the principle unpalatable. Please explain to me how this works, it seems to be like saying you can't resell a book. This idea that "we peasants" are not allowed to trade among themselves and must only buy from large organizations disgusts me.

It's like piracy in reverse!
Surely EA are not even involved in the transaction? but then again I guess thats why they are trying to impose a fee.

Since he has access to the spell check I can only assume it to be that he doesn't give enough of a crap to correct it. I'm sure he knows how to spell and we all know what he means.

PS: That should be "wrongly" and it's meant to be a capital "I" are you doing that as a joke?

what it is is if you purchase an EA title new and you trade it back (making it used). then when the next person purchases this game (used) if he/she wants to play online EA will charge and extra $10 so you can get a code to play the game online. This code was not needed if you purchased it new.

Okay I see how they can get away with that. It's also not quite as bad as I thought. But is that on EA servers or P2P?

I like how when I log in to play multiplayer it tells me that my Serial Number is already in use and I cant play any ranked matches. I can quick-join a ranked match but I cant join from the server list. thing is, when i quick-join it puts me in a server with either 1 person or by myself. GG Crytek.

Yeah, I've also noticed that Quick Match doesn't work worth balls in this game.

I sure love getting matched up for a riveting game of 1v0

Well I was working all day came home tired and I all I wanted to do was play Crysis 2 which I could never get to work. In fact I worked all night trying to get it to function properly which made me more tired and frustrated. By the time I posted that it was quite late and I was pissed and angry. Sorry for mispelling a word it's for sure to be the worst thing you ever see in your life.
Also I am using IE which does not have a spell check.
