I dont know about you but, Crysis 1 just barely brought me to Crysis 2, the Crysis 1 story was just to sterotypical and just got good during the end even through throwning aliens into to the end of the story with the sphere was a little uncalled for. I believe that Crysis 2 kicks Crysis 1 ass when it come to story and gameplay, it all just seemed to fold together and explain who you where fighting and for what reason!

The crysis 2 gameplay was also amazing as it showed how things change so much in real life comparing to call of duty which all come to plan. Crysis 2 was not just a whole big plane to the finish, you had to change your game plan almost every level and for that I believe crysis 2 is a clear winner over Crysis 1.

Disscuss.

NO WAY.

The First Crysis was Waaaaaaaay better.

Well, at least until Sandbox3 comes out for the PC.

Troll.

Sandbox 3 affects how awesome the Singeplayer is for Crysis 2?

Anyways, I agree. I played all three Crysis games, and even though I really liked Crysis and Crysis Warhead, they just couldn't keep me in like Crysis 2. Basically, I no-lifed my way through Crysis 2 Singleplayer, while I only played about a mission every couple of days for Crysis and Crysis Warhead.

So many Crytek employees trying to act as if Crysis 2 is a good game. Crysis 2 is cowadooty meets Halo. The result is exactly what you'd expect it to be: a **** game.

I havn't even played Crysis 1, but you just know it's better lol. Just by video's you can see the crazyness of the graphics, and its free roam.

I agree with you AC_elite that Crysis 2 is better, but only from a gameplay perspective. Crysis 1 didn't have the best story, but neither does Crysis 2.

Just don't get too disappointed when you realize that the majority of the people on this forum don't agree with you. Especially the general discussion forum, as people treat it as an extension of the Crysis 2 PC forum, and PC gamers are already crying out for Crytek's blood.

Crysis 1 and Warhead are definitely better gameplay-wise, graphic-wise, AI intelligence... -wise... and all around a more open and fun game. Crysis 2 was a more linear game. It was not as intense as Crysis 1 either. The parts where there was an open environment were also stale. you didn't have many ways to interact and attack the situation. also, the AI was aimlessly shooting their guns and seeing you through walls. thus killing the gameplay and open sandbox feel and in the end, the anti-climactic ending was probably the biggest let down as well as the missing features and actual talent needed for the game. I can play Crysis 1 over and over, but I doubt I will ever play Crysis 2 again until mods start coming out.

You high?

Crysis is a much better game. The AI were smarter, the maps were larger and open, not this linear crap we got now, COD-ified MP compared to the open MP maps with more players in Crysis (granted i didnt like either of the games MP) and enough plotholes to make anyone scream.

But i guess everyones opinons different

Crysis was not an open world sandbox game, at least not like it should have been, you could step 15 meters away from the track but there is nothing interesting. So they are both pretty linear, Crysis just gave an illusion that its not. As of story Crysis had none so Crysis 2 is way better. It was prologue for a game that never saw daylight. AI is an idiot in every game, i have never seen a smart AI, or do you mean some "smart AI" which is better than a brick wall. Crysis had a great MP like PowerStruggle but it died.

Trololololol

Personally, I think C2 svcks. C1 / Wars was much better. C2 was just your typical console port. In a year, no one will remember it.

yes i know crysis 1 was free roam, but crysis 2 isn't exactly linear, you have more then 10 possiblities how to get around the mission, and it wouldn't work making all of new york free roam, you'd be lost for most of the time and not to mention how the large landscape would affect loading, rendering and AI timing!

Can we please get this Call of Duty game out of the forum? We aren't talking about that and never were. Same goes for Halo etc.

At OP: I don't think I will completely agree with you, mostly because these two games have different Atmospheres and Designs. Crysis 1 had an illusion of an open world gameplay, but still you were send from A to B, over C, and that happens in Crysis 2, too. But they both make YOU decide how you clear a situation. Subtile or Rambo (wich didn't work well in Crysis 1 :S). Tactical or improvised. I often grab a car, put C4 on it and drive into the next enemy base. In both games. That are typical Crysis moments, wich you can't get in any other game. Crysis had wide, one level maps with trees all around you. In Crysis 2, you have a vertical Urban area with Skyscraqers (beatifull ones btw) around you, so it's a pretty different experience. The AI isn't "dumb" it's just been buggy since the last patch (at least for me they aren't anymore). They do react to your actions, like taking cover when you fire an HMG, entering Armor Mode or search for you, when you enter Cloak, instead of standing in open field without cover, shooting you while beeing shot in the arm/foot, sniping you with a shotgun like the Koreans did, so yeah... The Crysis 1 AI wasn't smart, but just overpowered and non-realistic.

About the Story. THERE's a clear winner. Crysis 2 Story is far more interesting, intense and memorable then the first one's. Crysis 2 does even make the first story more interesting (I think it was a trial to catch the console palyer up to play the first one).

The problem is: Almost everyone who doesn't agree is mostly obsessed by the Multiplayer of the first one, and can't think objectively anymore. The OP never said anything about Multiplayer. I still think Singleplayer > Multiplayer, and no one can change my mind about that. When someone talks about Wars, they often only think about Multiplayer... But still they whine in here and don't play that f*cking game.

Oh, and MuffinMan Sniper, I think C2 WILL be memorable, now that the Editor comes out in early Summer, the modding community can keep it alive, like the first one, then it's beeing the first game running on the Cryengine 3, the engine that hopefully be used more often at commercial games.

Crysis 2 has the story of a generic Hollywood action movie. I guess that's what casuals enjoy nowadays.

Crysis 1 wasn't any better.

Crysis, Crysis WarHead and Wars puts C2 to shame! Crytek needs to go back to the roots for the PC version for C3 or they won't hit it bigtime...

C2, are you kidding me? I thought I was on a console! LoL

Agreed.

Crysis one had better graphics, larger environments, better graphics (said it twice because they where so amazing). Crysis 2 has better designed environments, better fps.

C1 has destructible houses. C1 has open world environment and freedom. C1 has prone. C1 has leaning. C1 has more enhanced textures and better graphics than C2. C1 has better story and gameplay. C1 is "Game for Windows". C1 demo had sandbox. C1 demo has dedicated servers. C1 patches works. C1 is a relaxing action adventure (In my opinion). C1 Nanosuit is faster, slimmer, energy doesn't deplete while running, you keep on running after energy is depleted, fastest speed mode, slow energy recharge, and quieter.
C2 has better lighting. C2 nanosuit is slower, bulky, louder, stronger, quick energy recharge, cannot run after energy depletion, very very slow speed mode. C2 has bad, low-res textures. C2 doesn't have destructible houses. C2 doesn't have prone. C2 is a linear game. C2 you can't lean (or in SP you are limited in leaning). C2 PC Demo had "Press start to play". C2 PC Demo had aim assist. C2 patches didn't work or made things worst. C2 is unplayable in multiplayer (log in & connection issues like NAT type and disconnections). C2 Delay of the sandbox and DX11. C2 is a hardcoe COD & little bit of halo mixed game. C2 is a hardcoe linear shooter console port game.

hardcoe style console fanboys may argue that C2 is better; I personally think C1 CW is wayyyyyy better than C2. Only true Crysis fans will only understand that (keep in mind this is only my opinion). You may argue about which story, graphics, gameplay style is better BUT you can't argue with the current bugs, glitches, exploits, and hacks that are going on right now. This is the truth, this isn't a game but rather a underdeveloped, rushed, unpolished, bugged game that makes gamplay UNPLAYABLE! That's true for sure! That statement is unarguable.

Apart from your incorrect statement that C1 had "open world environment and freedom" thus implying it was not linear, and then saying that C2 was linear, I should remind you that when C1 first came out it had a ton of bugs in all parts of gameplay.

There were very bad AI glitches that you can still see in videos on Youtube, the physics had many glitches, and to this day there are still graphical glitches in regards to how the game handles the destroyed bits of killed alien suits.

Point of my post is, C1 had a ton of problems when it first came out too. And if C1 gets a pass because Crytek eventually fixed MOST of them, then C2 should get the same treatment. If you are adamant that C2 is a poorly coded mess, then you need to acknowledge that so was C1 at the start of it's life.

Everything I will say:

Crysis, 2007 = ahead of its time.
Crysis 2, 2011 = behind of its time ?!?

Where is the logic..................?!?
Who knows!

I havn't even played Crysis 1, but you just know it's better lol.
Sorry to say that but you are full of sh.... mate ^^

Just by video's you can see the crazyness of the graphics, and its free roam.
Graphic doesn't make game "good", and no walls doesn't make player to be free in game environment, if you think that Crysis 1 wasn't linear you need to play it without "omfggraphic" glasses, but hey you didn't even played it...

Crysis 2 is "behind" because of consoles, CryENGINE 3 its another story, full power of CE3 own CE2 lmao

Crysis 2 is "behind" because of consoles, CryENGINE 3 its another story, full power of CE3 own CE2 lmaoOf course,... consolate and reassure yourself!
Roflmao

Did you even know what CE3 can do and what CE2 can't do? Starting from character animation, face rendering, lighting... there is bunch of things which CE3 do better than CE2 =.=" If you wan;t post BS at least get your facts straight :X
