Crysis 2 is already dead.

Did u notice that u actually have to filter servers to get non empty servers? Even though there are only 9 to 10 team instant action servers are populated. I mean c'mon i want to play this game online.

Its because of all the problems the game had at launch and failure to fix them immediately, ive seen it happen with other games.

Aliens vs Predator 2010 on release day the game had around 10,000 players showing on the Steam User Stats. At launch the game had no dedicated servers, massive balance problems and games constantly lost sync. A week after release there were 1,000 players on Steam User Stats and now it dwindles around 300 players. They added dedicated servers, fixed the sync problems and gave some minor balance tweaks but by then the literally over 90% of the playerbase had moved on.

Things like EXP loss, disconnections and hackers should be (or should have been) top priority.. not fixing minor single player elements like Nano Catalyst. Whats the point of a DX11 patch when the game has issues? Thats like polishing a turd.

I, for one, am mightily pleased by this news. You should have continued in the Quake direction with your MP instead of turning the ship around and setting course for call of duty.

Cloak first shot essue is making people throw away crysis 2.I mean whats the point of cloak mode if first shot isn't getting counted.Also buggy air stomp made it almost rarely used weapon. You will find very few people air stomping in game.I have never got killed by air stomp yet when i am at level 20.Air stomp was the only thing i liked in crysis 2 mp.I bought crysis for it. There are very few server where players are playing. WAKE UP CRYTEK!!! Wtf are u doing right now.

The game isn't dead, because it's never born.

Must just be a PC thing, on PS3 I'm always getting games no problem.. and I would imagine the same is true for Xbox.

good thing you don't need 150 people or more than 1 server to play a match then right?

Or do you take up 5 servers?

It doesn't help that game spy's server browser is buggy as ****, and tends not to display servers with people in them properly :\

Still, I manage to find good servers, just got to sort by region rather than by ping because again game spy server browser is ****.

I'll happily go through some frustration to play on a dedicated server with 23 ping on my pc than play some laggy match up on console ^_^

You're funny. Apparently you missed my point.

Ill put it in a way even you can understand: more people = more variety of game mode/types available, a better chance of playing on servers with good ping, etc. Face it, the MP is a ghost town and it hasn't even been out a month. I guess the hackers among other broken aspects of the game scared everyone off.

This game is booming on the consoles. PC...I don't know.

But I suppose this is what Crytek worked so hard on to achieve. Crytek UK FTW.

Aviur we all know that you have console.And then u say u have pc.If u had pc then u would have got the point.By my observation of ur forum posts, u are another console kid.
When i refresh my server list in game with filters on i get only 4 to 5 team instant action servers in which at least 7 to 9 people are playing.I could find only 3 pro servers these days.There are allways 15 to 19 servers of crash site with standard mode.
c'mon this game released only 1 month ago.This game is dying.

Its fun to call everyone a console kid isn't it. This is the problem with PC gamers. You think you're entitled to something when you are clearly not.

Just checked ~200 servers with healthy populations. Clearly it's dead.

Look, its not my fault no-one wants to play "pro camp in the corner in stealth and 1 shot noobs" mode. Perhaps you should play other modes instead? I find mixed servers the most fun as they offer some variation.

Wait, now you claim "you" pc gamers, i thought you were one too...........and besides, no ones on the multiplayer servers because of massive hackers, even if its something simple like a banner cheat, they always know were your at regardless of cloak, which makes it heavily unfair, which makes any PC gamer shy away.

Yep, Crytek has officially sold their souls to consoles. Never to be trusted PC side again.

I am, but i'm distancing myself from "you" because "you" are a bunch of **** crybabies that spent the first 2 weeks of this games release crying about grass resolution. "You" then spend the subsequent month running around going "GAME IZ DED!!! FIX OR GAME DIE!!"

**** hell, everyone gets it by now, yes there are hackers, however its impossible to completely get rid of hackers when it comes to PC's. All Crytek can do is keep on top of stuff and keep banning where appropriate and keep updating on opportunities for players to manage their own servers. But yes, it was a bit retarded to have dedicated servers with very few administration tools at release- though Rcon is now working with a lot of C2 servers. Though once almost all servers have active admin's i can see tons of "OMG I WAS UNFAIRLY BANNED FROM THE GAME BECAUZ I SO GOOD PEOPLE FINK I CHEAT!!! AM MEGA PC GAMOR!!!"

My point is, the game is far from dead, getting a game is **** easy. You don't need 20 active servers to play a match unless you happen to take up 20 slots across different servers simultaneously. Yes, pro mode servers are few, but lets be serious, no-one wants to play pro mode anyway, which is why there's none.

Though I do agree that taking the "lets make MP like CoD" route Crytek took was a bit stupid. But face it, this is the route crytek want to take. So deal with it or move on.

Yea, because you can totally blame them for not paying as much attention to 14% of their sales. Get over yourselves.

Uh dude, this game isnt dead, i don't care if 100% of the PC gaming communities bailed on this, im satisfied with what they gave us, maybe its not Crysis, but its definitely better than CoD, but maybe not as good as Halo......... Crysis wars by anyones standards is "dead" because at any given time there is only about 3oo people on servers, yet more than a thousand Douches pop out of no where claiming this multiplayer svcked, yes power struggle is awesome, but maps were to big for constant action, which is why speed mode was added, "Ferret" servers give you unlimited sprint, and what? no one complained why? Because the Maps were so damn big it was the only way to play, and please..........I was on the top of charts in Crysis wars in any server, i am that community, and me as a Crysis "fanboy" loves Crysis 2 for what it is.

here you go again kid,Saying that we cry about grass resolution.(you are kid in my opinion by the way you write)
FOR MORE INFO THERE IS NOT MUCH GRASS IN CRYSIS 2!
If you are so supportive about consoles then go to console forum .Why the hell you come on topic where there are pc players in it?
Your forum topis are always like this; ie."why pc gamers cry about crysis 2","shut the *** up pc players",etc.
what is the your problem?
Why you don't accept that there are very low servers?
you checked that there are 200 alive servers.
Where?(console or Pc)
When I checked today there are only 10 to 15 crash site map servers alive in which there are acceptable population value.
Right now there are hardly 70 to 90 servers are alive.(except useless mod games like classic,etc)Normally gamers always play team instant action,instant action,crash site.And remember this is the value of servers of game at first month(Even if you say its 200 ,its not enough).What do you expect from game in next 2 months?

Also did you ever checked battlefield servers or COD servers that are alive today?
Battlefield bad company always get more than 2000 servers in server list after refresh that are alive.And you know about COD servers(COD 4 still get 3000 servers alive).

This game

My problem is retards like you. Kinda not hard to see that? And the fact that you even expect C2 to compete on the same level as BF and CoD is lol. The game is successful in its own way. You're one of these retards that sees sales figures from MW2 and instantly thinks "Oh every game needs to sell this much to be successful! Or else its fail! I R SMURT!"

And how many active servers do you need to be able to play? 5000? 10000? I didn't think you took up that much space. But who knows! Im curious, do you join 15 servers at the same time with 1 pc or do you have 15 different pc's to connect to 1 server?

The game could have 10 servers active. As long as there are 16 players in total on any given server you can have a good match. So stop crying

"200 servers is not enough" What the **** is wrong with you? retard.
