Crysis 3 Multiplayer; Need some pointers.

Post » Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:28 am

Hey everyone,

So, firstly, please don't hate on me. I know I haven't player a whole lot, but I feel I need some serious pointers for multiplayer.

Of the games I've played, I get absolutely and UTTERLY destroyed for what seems like no reason at all. I usually watch kill cams of my deaths and the people I die to are just spraying and praying and somehow still at around 70% armour when I've FILLED their bodies with bullets. You seem to die so damn fast I can't even react to fire half the time even with armour mode on. People jump around like idiots and flail about spraying randomly it seems and eat me alive.

What am I doing wrong? I really want to like C3 multiplayer but it just seems so....blah. My normal ratios are like 1 and 10 where in a game like CS or planetside I'm solidly always positive.

Any pointers?

Cant really play this game like a point and shoot affair.... good aim is great but you need to use all the tools available to you... use cloak to get the drop on ppl and make sure you almost always armor up before a gunfight. Jump, slide, powerstomp, grenade your way to victory. I would just suggest playing the game more... dont get discouraged because also you dont have the best weaponry and perks when you start out. Things like rapid fire will increase your killability a lot. I think it is done this way so when you know your at a disadvantage you make better use of your nannosuit to compensate therefore getting better exponentially when you do unlock said items.

Hi Talnoy,

Theres alot of things to take into consideration. First, ignore kill cams...they are buggy beyond belief and i wouldn't trust what you see on them. This game is very different than your typical FPS games such as COD in the fact that you really need to adapt to fights using your 2 abilities (stealth/armor) one reason as to why you might be dying so fast is not having armor activated, do you use it often?

Being effective at aiming down the sights and firing off the hip is also dependent alot on what attachments and modules you have. One can not hope to be very accurate at hip firing when you don't have so much as a laser sight or forgrip attached, same goes for aiming down the sights. As far as the jumping and flailing around issue...well there isn't much you can do about that other than learn the dance of death yourself, and adapt to people leap frogging around you.

You will quickly notice playing MP that pretty much everyone...and i mean everyone (thanks to preordering) will have the Alpha Jackal shotgun, which currently is the most OP gun in the game requiring no skill to use, and this gun alone will account for you getting "eaten alive".

If you hope to excel...and ultimately start having some fun in Multiplayer, you only have to remember one thing Talnoy......PRACTICE. Practice makes perfect and the more you play, the more you learn and the better you'll get. This game unlike most actually requires some skill, and alot of attention to be paid.

Once you hit the trifecta of
1. Figuring out which gun/modules are right for you.
2. Mastering the use of stealth/armor.
3. Countering Jackal noobs and idiots on pogo sticks.

Then you'll be alright.

Hope this helps.
