Who knows? You might be right. My new laptop only cost $800, which really surprised me. The one before that three years ago cost me $1500, and this new one is lighter and better. So the future of consoles looks pretty good, power and expense wise. Of course, the problem is, part of the reason these companies want to go to consoles is control. Don't expect any Sandboxes or SDKs.

You guys are missing the point. Crytek is not making a gameplay decision, they are making a money decision.

The ancient, decrepit, piece of crap hardware in the PS3 and Xbox 360 cannot handle over 12 players. You have to realise that they are trying to push a graphical game on a 7800gtx, a graphics card that COULD-NOT-PLAY the original Crysis on anything over Low+640x480.

If they make a two tier game, with 32 player PC and 12 player console, the console gamers will cry foul and sales will fall.

For this reason, PC gamers who have moved into the year 2010 and actually have decent graphics hardware will suffer.
Technically the PS3 can hold hundreds of players however the graphics are to low for crysis. This 256 person FPS (MAG) proves it is possible but would it feel like crysis if you feel like you were playing an indie game on steam. I think that this is why the games are smaller at least on console. A squad system for 16 v. 16 would be awesome on PC though. XD
Wasn't there a game last year at E3 that showed 120 people playing a giant battlefield game with squads and tactical decisions for PS3 I recall seeing that.

I say make the highest '12 v 12' and make it in a few special game modes. DO NOT make just one ground wars or it will be ruined. RUINED

Hey all,

6vs6 may sound bad, but once you play it you'll notice it's very playable. I have a LOT of fun with the demo. It's very balanced. The OP states a campfest, but in order to get killstreaks you have to collect the dogtag of the person who you just killed. That forces people to move and expose themselves. Just my two cents, I love the game

I think it's better that they have 6 vs 6. Teamplay is more valuable to win, instead of 32 players rushing over the map and shooting each other. The gameplay is tighter, and makes it easier to play with good friends. I don't think there are going to be noob weapons, like Crysis 1 had (Gauss Rifle, SCAR) So there won't be no need for that. Dedicated servers have been confirmed almost 2 months ago.

The scar was never a noob weapon. The FY17 however......
By noob weapons I mean noobtubes.

I don't give a **** - It's official
I always liked the gun fire echo sound from far away when a game server was almost empty, it makes it feel like you're in a real battlefield.
So, 6vs6 it's going to be awesome.

I like how its 6v6 because you know you are going to make a difference out on the battlefield because your vital for your team to win.

Mate it's nice of you to enjoy the 6v6 battles, but your arguement is debatable

Hope pc will have more then 6v6 lol

Hope pc will have more then 6v6 lol
It won't.

I hope Pc version doesn't have more then 6 v 6.. I hate all pc gamers sometimes, because they believe everything in high quantities is better. When its clearly not.. U FUK heads listen and think..
If the gameplay is designed for 6 v 6.. maps are made for 6 v 6 why the **** do you guys want more?.

You want spawn camping? U **** will complain about spawn camps when u get raqed..
U will complain about map sizes when u cant do 12 v 12 .. like stfu accept it.

Lavitz first of all, it has been said by dozens of reviewing sites that the maps in Crysis 2 are HUGE for its playercount and that it could easily be raised with no overload repercussions on the PC.

Second of all, I can't play with my friends on puny 6v6 servers. I have seen huge issues of this happening in the Xbox360 demo, and it will be worse on the PC.

Anyway, i don't see the point in this thread anymore. When Nathan Camarillo was questioned about the low playercounts on PC, he already has blurted out the word "more" in response.

The small map and 6 enemy's would not be fun for players that like to party together in large groups to play. Expand the maps and players pplz.

well, i seriously doubt ill buy this game now. Im a ps3 gamer, and i was told by PC people that Crysis had packed maps, and now your doing 6v6? Thats truly pathetic. I dont care that the maps are small, thats ridicoulus! make them bigger! PLEASE!!!

xbox it cant do more than 6v6, thers not enough time to taylor the ps3 differently but as a ps3 and xbox 360 player i think since pc deserves more than 6v6. tbh people can mod games and crytek might allow them.

Oh, they'll let us mod, or the majority of us PC players won't buy it.

People you have to understand it is hard to just put more players on a game.

i have to agree with you there

Its actually not hard at all.

Crytek would just need to change a few lines of code to allow for a higher playcount. Would take them an hour at most to change it and test it to make sure it works correctly.

I'm starting to get sick of games, Too many games copying each other, Too many games with aim down sight, perks and killstreak style of gameplay, games are becoming generally trashy.

i know it just seems like its all the same

bump.

because crysis 2 is all about the single player not multiplayer

Another Console type who has no clue what Crysis was or is about. And coming in with a worthless rant on your first post. Classic. What you have is an opinion, not a fact, and I totally disagree with you. SP always runs out quick. People beat the game and thats it. Its MP that lasts for years after release. But it doesn't matter. The console player will, unfortunately, probably be stuck with what they get. We PC players can mod the game, and change the player limits to whatever we want.

is crysis a Role-playing game like fallout, or dragon age? or is it a first person shooter?
