here ill post here what i did on another forum:

granted there are some bugs and issues here and there, but tell me one game that doesnt have that problem. no matter what forum you go to, people always bich and complain about something. like there is a perfect world of games. let me know where it is and i might go there. but theres not. and if you know where they are, then go there and never come back with your complaining asses.

crytek is doing the best they can right now with fixes and patches, so everyone needs to be patient and chill.

now with the online gameplay, if you really have lag, then you need to tell your isp to come and do a diagnosis on your internet. speedtest.com doesnt always give you an accurate diagnosis. trust me, im a cable technician and know these things. it could be numerous things that are having problems, such as your m.e.r. or b.e.r. are bad. that can cause packet loss. or possibly your isp networking could be topped out, that can cause problems. do a trace route on your desktop and see where the slowing down comes from. it might be your server from who knows where thats the problem. some of you people have absolutely no clue what your biching about. thats the world of gaming.

so unless we get dedicated servers, which will not happen, dont count on a miracle. p2p svcks and thats the end of it. live with it and deal with it.

Crytek is doing horrible with fixes/patches. The patches they put out don't do what they claim, and they ignore hundreds of user comments on these forums & elsewhere about what are the worst problems. What makes you think they are doing the best they can? You can always do better, but in their fcase it seems they aren't even trying.

And honsestly I don't think you have a clue what they are biching about. Nobody needs a cable technician to play one game online, it perform well, and then put Crysis in & it do terrible. If it was a matter of improving connections or running TV line, a cable technician (which I doubt you are one, but I dont care) is who you would call. It's not. People expect what they are used to, and Crysis does not measure up., enough said.

It's pretty bad that they are claiming to have fixed CTR boosters when they haven't.

I wouldn't say that Crytek in the month after release and after releasing three patches and a hotfix, across 3 platforms would be considered "horrible". The majority of what mostly annoyed me on this game is now a lot better. At first they needed a lot of what I would call "fixes", now with the patches I would say that a few tweaks here and there and it will be great.

Played a few hours today and it was great. I have played this a lot so I know instantly when people on this forum are talking s***. That's why I get annoyed when people say the MP is unplayable or terrible when my 100+ games suggest otherwise. I mean we have the same game and hardware so why is their copy of the game so different to mine. I'm almost 4th reboot so I can definitely tell the difference the new patch has made. It's like night and day but definitely not perfect yet.

A couple of patches more and the condition will be how the game should have been released in, imo.

Dude, this is your most articulated post I've seen today, and you've held it as your opinion well. I blasted you on some other posts where you were arguing, and I'm going to go ahead and apologize here because I would say you dont do it all the time, but you really should try to stay out of arguments with everyone on the boards. These boards aren't really a place for logical discussion or competent input anyway it doesn't seem.

Lol I'm not sure if this a back-handed compliment but I'll take it.

I have had a lot more articulate posts than this but people like to argue so sometimes you need to get in the mud with them. People misinterpret what others write because they skim over posts and they base conclusions on things no-one has said while others love to antagonise, while some are just stupid. The latter is not an insult, this is easily observable in all aspects of life.

Intelligence is like a bell-curve lol there will be people on both ends and thus it is not uncommon to see them here or on any other forum.

I cant beleive people are still gettin gon these forus]ms and complaining about the game. just play the damn game and be happy. its a great game. I admit there are a few problems. but you morons that are complaining need to go back to cod because you want find that BS in Crysis 2. and plus COD Players do nothing but bich and moan about each other. such as "OMG That [Explicit] Douche bag just killed me in with my own weapon!" Or "This game svcks so much but I keep playing it." or another thing is "You guys [Explicit] svck at this game you need to get off the game and go [explicit] kill yourself you [Explicit] noobs. I [Explicit] Hate you So {Explicit] Much. You svck." and one that really annoys me. "Oh your a [Explicit] BK I bet your GB Rank is like 400,000" ok. What the hell is a BK? Burger king? If you have to go out of your way to say that the opposing player is a BK then Somebody shoot my balls off right now and end my life. and who the {Explicit] Cares about the Game Battles BS? if your so concerned about your GB Rank do me a favor and just move on with your life. I bet your GB Rank is like blah blah blah WHO CARES! But to get onto the main topic of this topic. the Patch is good and if you still bich and complain about Crytek who IS still fixing current problems. then Be [Explicit] Patient. I ate you im-patient [Explicit] Heads....


I agree, CoD players need to sod off back to that S H i T game!!!!!! and stay there.

All they do is camp, run around like pratts and winge due to the fact they cannot play or understand the game.

Well that aside there are some minor issues that need to be addressed.......

1. AI in single player still get stook while near an object and start to "stutter" and will not move from that position.
2. There are minor issues with lag in multiplayer? I noticed this last night and i was getting killed too easily, i thought this was sorted out with the patch?

Other than that the game ROCKS !!!!!

I on my second play through on singleplayer on supersoldier and to be honest, these CoD fools need to get a life.

1. One of the best and longest single player campaigns to come out recently.
2. Multiplayer is fun and immersive.
3. AWSOME, carn't wait for DLC.
hmmm.... that is truly odd. whenever I play there is no lag. besides the occasional game. and the lag only happens out of 5 out of 20 games i play? and I find no problems with the AI I dont find these problems. I agree I want more of a challenge on Supersoldier. but why take away something easy? you can get the game done faster while the AI is screwing around. I never have this problems fortunately. i find it strange that it happens for most people.

Host selection still svcks and games lag much worse for me now. The frame rate drops to a slide show when there are 2 orbital strikes called in and several players (4 or more) around.

I don't know why everyone is assuming the netcode has been improved. NOWHERE in the patch notes does it specifically state that.

Stability Improvements is a completely generic, non specific, term that could mean ANYTHING.

Until Crytek specifically states Network Improvements in patch notes, I'm going to remain under the assumption that the netcode, like most all of the other primary issues (the menu sound bug, the grain glitch, host selection, etc.), have NOT been addressed as of yet.

stryker, i agree. many of the bullet points in the patch notes are vague or do not appear to fix what they state.

Playing last night, I had a blurred screen for part of the match on crash site, Wall Street. I died later in the match, respawn and the screen is back to normal. Also, in one match I had 40/999 ammo at one point and another match my gun would reload, but still say 0/100 or whatever so I had to switch weapons to fix the ammo count. These never happened before yesterday and I have around 600 matches played. So idk, for me the new version 1.1.1.8003 after 4mb patch is worse. (Don't get me started on lag/hit detection as it varies from game to game for me).

6 Weeks and they finally admit the grain bug exists and that they are working on it.
Now I can stop whining finally. But I will not forget these 6 long weeks the next time I consider buying a Crytek game. Period.

Stop your whining and get over it. Was it really that bad of an issue? I am personally pleased with the work they put into this game. It took a lot to take a great game designed for computers and put it to console. At least they know how to make it work 10X better then any COD game.

I agree, there are scores and scores of people who are still experiencing multiplayer lag, and like you said, nowhere does it state that the patch addresses this.

I am awaiting Cry-Adam to get back to me after he said he has relayed the multitude of people who are having this problem to Crytek.

I wait in hope to see what (if anything) is being done to tidy the Multiplayer aspect of this game up. If they can tidy it up, it will be the best FPS on the market, but that's IF it's tidied up.

Ar you smoking fanboy crack?

Of course, anyone that likes the game and appreciates the work that have been done is a fanboy.. not.

I hate it when people say to just ignore the grain glitch cause it's "not that bad"

Listen, I spent $60 on this game and I expect to be able to play the game as it is intended
This bug is not suppose to be there and it makes portions of the game look god awful

If you ordered a pair of expensive new sunglasses and when you got them they were all scratched up would you wear them anyways because it's "not that bad"

I doubt it
I don't see how this is any different
We paid for something as advertised and we got something different
With what other products would this ever be acceptable?

How often does this grain glitch occur and for how long?

Never seen it and I've played the campaign twice and almost 4th reboot on MP. I've seen it in youtube videos but they're always in Nano Vision does it only occur there? If so that's why I probably never see it cause Nano Vision is useless.

like i said, people like you have no clue what you are talking about. trust me im a cable tech, so just in my world, there are things that you have no clue how they work. trust me son, i will run circles around your head when it come to how networks all tie in to each other, system cards, cmts configuration, etc. but if you want to know, either look it up or take my word for it. your choice. i dont have a full day to try and explain it to you. but i think that crytek is doing what they can in the console world. pc, it seems theyre doing **** all the time, but for consoles, its a whole new ball game. so take it as you wish. either play the game and hope they get more patches out, or stfu and quit playing it. people expect miracles in a day. doesnt happen. and we all know that ea rushed this out. so blame them for not giving these guys more time like they needed. just like cod will eventually fail because of activisions yearly release.

it's usually random but it mostly happens on night missions or missions with rain

if you don't restart the mission or exit to the dashboard it's permanent

That is pretty bad it being permanent once it occurs. You would have thought this would be no.1 priority since the SP is Crysis 2's major selling point. Over a month later and no fix = lol.

Does it happen in MP as well? If so, this would be worse than anything else I could put my finger on.

I've heard it happens in MP too

I don't play MP so I can't really comment

yeah reloading svcks sometiems it takes one sec to reload and sometimes it just doesent reload plus when you slide ur screen goes a bit fuzzy and sometimes when you get back up it stay like that which is really anoying

Yes, there are still many small things that still need to be fixed. Has anyone else noticed that if you pick up the HMG and don't fire off all the rounds and then drop it that the drop animation doesn't work? The gun just drops out of fist without the throwing motion that you get normally if you fire off all the rounds. Try it, HMG with rounds will not drop correctly. HMG that is empty drops automatically when empty and does use correct animation. I noticed it when they came out with the March 31 patch or whatever day it was. It's still there. This bug did not exist in the day 1 build. Little things like that and the reload clip animation sometimes getting out of whack need to be fixed because they are annoying and apparent to the eye. Not to mention the Grain bug, but that is a big bug unlike the little issues I just listed.

The HMG part, you need to press X rather than Y when you drop the HMG. In campaign too, when you press Y, it falls out of your hands, if you press X, your character throws it down.

I don't regret selling this now.

Yes, you can use your free time checking out the forum and telling people that you sold it.

Congratulations.

I sold my two vans T-shirts on eBay too, ( Message me for details ).

Ha, Every post I've seen from this guy he claims to never have the Issue.

This guy has no lag apparently, and a bug free multiplayer.

Dear Crytek,

A substantial improvement of the poor connection quality in multiplayer to the point where it can be deemed a fix by all the multiplayer moguls, as well as commoners, would be much appreciated on everyone's part, I'm sure. And stabilizing host migrations to the point where it actually migrates the host would be splendid; most combatants don't like their games being dropped when they are doing especially well.

Thank you for your time.

This has probably been mentioned but the migrating host never works and always fails, is there a way to fix this?
Also mix the pairings up a bit more the ranking system does not seem to reflect accordingly meaning level 50's owning level 10's

Personally I think the maps are too conviluted, too many intrusions, obstructions to the game play, create a level in a map pack that's relatively flat, I have to say the amount of short walls, mounds of debris and just general barriers are not needed

Crytek, are you listening??

Cry-Adam :

What were the results of you passing our lag issues on to Crytek?? What were their findings??

I would like to know this as well
