Crysis 2 - No kill challenge

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:07 am

Hello all Crysis fans,

Crysis 2 comes with the improved Stealth module in Nanosuit 2. There should be a lot of fun and nice stealth strategy with this improvement. So I create this topic for a challenge: Crysis 2 No Kill Challenge.

As it name, we will try to complete the mission WITHOUT killing NON-OBJECTIVE enemies. This may be impossible for some mission, so if you can't complete without killing any non-objective enemy, just kill him, but only in critical situation. For that, we have the rules:

Code:
- At the start, you get 10.000pts. The time starts ticking when the first human-controlled step is  proceeded.
- For every non-objective kill, you get -4.000 pts.
- The time stops ticking when the screen begin to face out. At this time, you may get two bonus:
   No detected bonus: + 5.000pts.
   No damaged bonus: +2.000pts.
And the time penalty: -1pt per 1 second.

- The mission must be completed in Post-Human Warrior difficulty. You must start the mission in the Replay-mission option, which give you the default weapon of that level (you don't use much of weapon in this challenge though)
- You can complete the mission with ANY Nanosuit Module you want.
- Game hacks, trainers are prohibited. Game bugs are allowed, but are discouraged. You can complete the mission at any game patch version as you please.

- The "No detected" bonus is cancelled if the stealth meter got maximized by the player.
- The "No damaged" bonus is cancelled when the player is shot by the enemies. Other damage than gun shot (falling damage, explosive damage, ...) is not counted toward this bonus. ALL DAMAGE (including gun shot) absorted by Armor mode is not counted toward this bonus as well.

So here's some recommendation:
- You should change the graphic setting to the lowest possible. We calculate time depend on second, not on frame, so the less FPS you have, the more time it takes. We want to see your game play, not the beautiful graphic.
- This challenge main aim is stealth strategy, not speed run. The penalty for time is VERY small (just 600pts for 10 minutes). So do not bother yourself with the time.
- You MUST record game sound as well, to identify the game environment, for example, the time is started when your first sound step is heard.
- You can edit your video (add description text), but you can also upload raw video, we will calculate your points. You MUSTN'T change (increase/decrease) the speed of the video.
- If you think it's impossible to complete mission without killing any non-objective enemy, just kill him, you just got -4.000pts. If you can't bypass him, maybe everyone also can't, so everyone will get -4.000pts, it's balanced.


I hope you enjoy this challenge. Here's the list of mission with current best points, I'll update it when anybody reach new higher points:

* Second Chance :
  • illserveu (5488pts) Video.

* Sudden Impact :
  • illserveu (16520pts) Video.
  • JustNameless (11512pts) Video.

* Road Rage : Not yet.

* Lab Rat : Not yet.

* Gate Keepers : Not yet.

* Dead Man Walking : Not yet.

What about the Lab Rat mission where you need to kill the thousands of enemies in Gould's lab?

They're objective, you must kill them to proceed the mission. The challenge only requires not to kill NON-OBJECTIVE enemies.

However, when you destroy the last Pinger (sorry I don't remember mission name), the Ceph that disturb you are not objective enemy, only the Pinger. So you mustn't destroy them.

Any idea for Sudden Impact please? I've completed it without killing anyone (except the objective Ceph). However, when I open the stuck elevator, the CELL near there always alert and shoot at me, next thing is lucky: sometimes I got killed, sometimes I alive!

Look like it's impossible to get No Dectect bonus in this mission because you have to battle with the objective Ceph. However, you can still get No Damage bonus (damage absort by Armor mode doesn't cancel the bonus).

Shouldnt a challenge be challenging? Cloaking your way through the game is the easiest way to play it.
Cloak is what makes the game extremely easy, if you want to 'challenge' anyone do it by restricting/denying its use.

@Hedgehog8: Cloaking maybe easy, but no kill is not that easy! Why don't you just try?

@heartlessphil: So you mean playing Crysis 2 as COD? That's somehow impossible, and it's not fun at all! I think no kill is already challenging.

@vangosh: I don't think so, lol. Can you help me bypass the guard in Second Chance (who I have to kill in the video)? I think I can shoot a bullet to notice them get out of my way, but I haven't tested yet.

@JustNameless: you can use a trainer to get all Module. The rule only prohibits using trainer while you are playing that mission, you can do anything else you want.

@lunarf1264: Thank you, I'm looking forward to seeing your video soon.

Ok, Uploading my video now. I made Sudden Impact, but was awefully spotted near the end of the chapter. Still, I took no damage, and didn't have to kill any non objective enemy. At the end, I made 11.512 pts.

EDIT: Here it is!

You're right, I used stealth kill a lot at PHW, and Headshots with silencer while cloaked (Nova only drains 10% per Headshot)
So, its the easiest way to use stealth kills and not to avoid constantly :)

Here's my new video, Sudden Impact :)

Sorry, I had a wrong time calculation, actually it took me 8 minutes (-480pts), and my total points is 16,520pts.

And, I have never met any Ceph when I practice, but when I recording this video, that one suddenly appear :-s . Luckily the Stealth Meter wasn't max out!
