Hey guys, first off just want to say I've been playing Crysis 2 multiplayer for about a week now, I picked it up for the PC during the Steam sale and I'm having an absolute blast on it, it's been hard but hey it's competition and it's all a learning experience.

And secondly I apologize if this is in the wrong section (Gameplay seemed pretty appropriate for what I was after)
I'd like to apologize for my long post as well.

But yeah, I'm only level 9 at the moment and I'm currently running around with the following:

A SCAR with reflex + hologram
M 12 NOVA side arm
Frag grenades

And my suit modules at the moment are:
Armor Enhance
Jammer
Weapon Pro

From what I've been able to read though a lot of people don't recommend Weapon Pro, but I picked it up as it looked like the best thing for me at the time (Some of the servers I play on look down upon Aim Enhance)

With all that being said, I see a lot of people running around with a SCAR (Or SCARAB? I forget) with a laser sight on. Is this really the best option? I can understand that it would be giving more accurate fire from the hip, but I've been finding the reflex sight really handy.
When it comes to attachments though, I really have no idea what I should be using. I'll admit that I usually forget about hologram, but I'm trying to improve on that.

Is it generally more useful using a SCAR over a SCARAB though? I can see the SCAR has more damage, range and accuracy, but the SCARAB has a better rate of fire and more mobility. My thoughts are leaning toward the SCAR, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

When it comes to suit modules though, when it comes to the time that I can upgrade to something more superior I was thinking of the following

Armor Enhance
Visor Enhance (Trying to get more into the habit of going into visor mode to tag enemies, so I thought this would help immensely to the entire team)
But when it comes to power I'm tired between Rapid Fire and Mobility Enhance...

I can see Rapid Fire being great when you're toe to toe with something, especially when I have armor on, but Mobility Enhance seems great for well... Mobility.

Which brings me on to another question I have, but before I go on do these suit modules look appropriate for a "Run n' Gun" sort of style?

Onto my other question though,
I find myself using my energy rapidly, or not efficient enough. Maybe I might be using cloak too much, sprinting where not appropriate, or combining abilities too much (Cloak + Sprint for example) and a habit I've been trying to get myself into is quick looks through Nanovision to see enemies/cloaked enemies more clearly, but is there any tips you guys could possibly offer on energy usage? Such as cloaking through large areas, or when I should be using sprint most effectively.

I have looked at a few beginners guides on the Crysis 2 Multiplayer, but some of them seem a little out-dated, or at least in some parts. They have largely been very helpful though. That being said, if you happen to have an article/thread that would be appropriate I'd appreciate it if you could link it

I am sorry for my long post, but I just wanted to make sure that I could cover everything that was on my mind at the moment.

And thanks in advance to any help you may be able to provide, I really appreciate it!

Hey man, you're probably going to want to post this stuff in the Crysis 2 PC discussion, lots of people are active over there. Anyway, to answer some of your questions.

I have an old video where I showcased 5 of the strongest custom classes I liked, obviously my own class preferences have changed since then but I do still use the classes in that video! It's crazy haha plus I still think the video is a great help for new players. Check it out:



About the class you are currently using, I'd say it's good, but just get rid of the Jammer Module already, it's totally usless and just alerts the enemy that you are nearby. If you feel like you are stealthing a lot you can put Stealth Enhance on there instead, would be a lot more useful.

However generally with that class, Armour Enhance+Weapon Pro+Scar you really aren't going to be focusing on Stealth a whole lot. Weapon Pro is a great module! And visor enhance is good too although I don't use that a whole lot since I do tag often and I'd rather use that slot for something else.

For a Stealth run and gun class I'd recommend modules like Nano Recharge, Energy Transfer, Stealth Enhance and Mobility Enhance, works best with a Feline+Laser in my oppinion. It's my favourite class and I've been using it since release day.

About the Scar+Laser question, you shouldn't use it as it is bugged and considered an exploit and people generally won't like you for using it haha. Scarab is good but you have to set up the class differently for it overpower a Scar user in my oppinion.

If you're interested in the Scarab check out my Rapid Fire Scarab class in the video.

Any more questions, just fire away!
