Hi,

I can't believe it...

Ok, we now have the DX11 patch.
We also have "Hi-Res" Textures (*cough*).
But what do we have too?
We have an extremely limited console.
We have an extremely limited Sandbox3 Editor (no Vehicle Editor, annoying bugs)
We have worse in-game physics.
We have a game with graphics still worse than Crysis 1 (in my opinion, there are some things which are better in Crysis 2, but only some. Not all .Crysis 1 is much clearer).
We have Crytek's worse communication.
We have no vehicles.
Last but not least: Crysis 2 isn't worth the name "Crysis". In my opinion Crytek should feel ashamed.

And no, I am not a troll, I just wanted to express my disappointment over the Crytek community.
This game is nearly dead, face it.

EDIT:
I forgot one thing.
We don't have a LAN function, so to play this game on LAN parties is impossible without an internet connection.

You say "And no, I am not a troll." You clearly do not know what a troll is.

I know what a troll is, but that's Off topic.
(a troll is someone who wants to provoke

If you are aware that your post will provoke bad behavior and you still do it, it's still a troll post. And if you are not aware then i would have to say you are clueless. There are a lot of little kiddies on this forum who would take great offence to your post.

I don't want to provoke bad behavior and I'm sure there are some trolls & little 'kiddies' around here in the forums, but all I wanted to say is how disappointed I am about Crysis 2.
Crytek managed it to completely destroy their reputation and of course the reputation of Crysis. This makes me sad.

.. but it's the truth... We can't speak the truth because it will provoke people?

and EVEN WITH ALL THIS... I still play everyday & night.. It's the only game on my PC that gets any action... Well the Crysis series that is..

I also play Crysis 2, it's still a good game.
But its not on the niveau of Crysis 1 nor Warhead nor Wars.

We expected something MORE & Better!

This is a tipical troll thread.... We have seen threads like this, bla bla bla Who cares?

1. I don't really care for limited console because i never really did.
2. I don't know how limited sandbox 3 is but i played some custom maps and they're awsome.
3. I can't really tell which has worse physx crysis 1 or crysis 2. They both have their pros and cons.
4. Crysis 2 graphicaly looks better then crysis 1 at any angle. Crysis 1 doesn't have this amount of light sources. Crysis 1 doesn't have Tessellation which makes thing more real like tessellated walls. Crysis 2 also has POM as crysis 1 so theyre equal here. Crysis 2 has better modeling design. It looks more real then in crysis 1 where almost everything has the feel of modeling from 2004 (you know what i mean HL2 design). Crysis 1 has better textures then Crysis 2 i admit. Crysis 2 has SSDO crysis 1 doesnt which makes shading more real also crysis 2 has real time local reflections which add that extra touch to its subbtle graphical beauty.
5. Yeah crysis 2 is quite lame for vehicles. Crysis 2 doesn't have vehicle fights at all. I expected flying a Vtol in crysis 2 and driving some hard ass mega tank through NYC but that didn't happen.
6. Lately no1 gives a **** about LAN because everything is via internet. Also 90% of world population have atleast broadband internet capable of watching youtube without having to pause for it to download.
7. Also i do have to note that crysis 2 has lamer graphical options to tweak your eye candys flavour. I really don't like how lazy they are to put atleast 15 different options to tweak graphics as much as possible like in crysis 1.
8. Gameplays are kind of different for each:
In crysis 1 i do love having the freedom to scoop around and take my own way to the mission but the NPCs... they look like wood targets. When u hit them with bullet theyre like "AAH ositumanikuaha!" and they dont do any animation that they're hit except that sometimes they move their shoulders. It makes me feel like they're practice targets, except that on post human they have extreme boost to weapon dmg so therefore 3 or 4 hits can kill you. They also move towards you in a funny way. They are completely open and it's like they don't realize we are soldiers with suit!
In crysis 2 we have pretty much linear campaign. I dont really agree with forcing linear campaigns but there are few games that i like for being linear. Like this game... Guys you got to give them credit for making it feel like it's not linear. I like the way they give options how do you want to kill your targets. It's like in sandbox campaign you can choose how do you want to kill your target but you can't roam free unlike in sandbox campaign. NPCs are better animated and react to the bullet lively and when you criticaly hit them they'll fall to the ground and get up(well that doesn't happen often but sometimes they're lucky ). NPCs AI isn't as what we expected i gotta say that. I expected something skynet self awareness in the game. 1/3 of the game NPCs ran to the wall or they hid behind a wall but at the side where i was.
People who like more linear style of gameplay will favor crysis 2 and those of you who like sandbox gameplay will favor crysis 1 there's no doubt in that.
So Crysis 2 is SLIGHTLY better then it's predecedor(can't remember if this is the right way to spell this word ) but "slightly better" doesn't justify it. Crysis 2 should have been not slightly but 3x better then crysis 1 in any aspect. That's what i expected when i first saw crysis 2 and when i saw it i imediately thought of it as i wouldn't see the difference between real world and in game graphics (but guess were still far away from that, CURSE YOU CONSOLES! YOU TOOK OUR MOST ENTHUSIAST DEVELOPER CORPORATION FOR PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF GRAPHICS!!!).
I probably forgot to note some other things but this is general note on both games. I hope that you will SOMEHOW be able to read this damn wall of text which i hate to write but you people made me do it because you're not seeing pros and cons on both sides of games.
PS: Crysis 1 and crysis 2 multiplayer are 2 different types. Crysis 1 has battlefield like MP gameplay and yet crysis 2 has some hybrid COD(because of it's action packed close combat) and something else(even tho i hate COD but crysis 2 is better then COD).
So i hope you enjoyed this

"Crysis 1 is still superior to everything" = Truth You have to understand all facets of it though, to fully understand this. I still enjoy games of C2, doesn't mean I've forgotten what used to be offered and possible though.

I don't agree, DHMH , i loaded C1 a few months back and it looked like a sh-ite, washed out game of yesteryear.
Right now i got C2 and FEAR3 running, nice lookin', dx11 games.

Yeah, of course Crysis 2 has better lighting, but the textures are still low res.
Oh, and what I ment with 'Crysis 1 looks clearer' is:
Crysis 2 has got a lot of motion blur, but Crysis 1 looks better.
You should play both games and I did a lot, and that's just my opinion.

Crytek wanted to make a game which looks good, but isn't a hardware-hungry beast like Crysis 1.
In my opinion the players with rigs which are high end were left in the dark.
The DX11 patch makes the game only look better if you watch while you stand.

Far Cry -> Crysis: WOW!
Crysis -> Crysis 2: Ok, where are the improvements?

I hope Crytek utilises their Engine more with Crysis 3 (if there will be one, I hope so)

the lack of vehicles is a dissapointment for sure. But I have to say I like Crysis 2 graphics slightly better than Crysis 1 because there is more variety. But if Crytek fixed the AA in Crysis 2 then it would be the clear winner.

I don't want to provoke bad behavior and I'm sure there are some trolls & little 'kiddies' around here in the forums, but all I wanted to say is how disappointed I am about Crysis 2.

We don't care if you're disappointed. Go tell your Mom. This EXACT thread has been posted 100 times on here. Be original or post in an existing thread.

I forgot one thing.
We don't have a LAN function, so to play this game on LAN parties is impossible without an internet connection.

I hate this issue. I need LAN support, quit cock blocking, CryTek. Let us have our own on servers to play on without the need for third parties.

I agree with Terminal Meltdown. LAN support and our own online servers would be definite improvement to the game.
I live in Mauritius and I cannot find a ranked server with ping below 100 or even 200...

Consoles hardly know what lan is lol, so we don't get it

Crysis Wars was just Crysis with internet slapped onto it. I've heard such terrible things about server moderation and hackers on Crysis Wars. I've actually heard from the LORD clan that there are still hackers on Crysis Wars. I've not witnessed a hacker in Crysis 2 for some time now. I wonder how hard the community in CS:S would complain if they released a second counterstrike and it wasn't exactly the same as the first one.

Crysis Wars was just Crysis with internet slapped onto it.
Wow, that is a most horribly inaccurate and untrue statement.

And not everything you hear is correct for all lol. And not everyone has the same experience.

Hmm, If CS:S were sequeled and consolised, yea I wonder if there would be many complaints, and if all of them would be just as unwarranted

I just got my new copy of Crysis:Maximum Edition today! Never been more happy

I don't agree, DHMH , i loaded C1 a few months back and it looked like a sh-ite, washed out game of yesteryear.
Right now i got C2 and FEAR3 running, nice lookin', dx11 games.

In the retail version, i agree with you, but adding packages as Rygel textures, high resolution foliage of Silent, XtremFX 2 of Xigmatek and especially that which enhances the visual effects Shader pack of Xzero, the game becomes incredibly beautiful!

Crysis 1 virtually all of Crysis 2, lens flares, grain, POM with AF 16X, shaders water with waves and particles HD and without DirectX11! For a video game of 2007 with all these packages it is even more beautiful than most games of 2011!

The modding community has done an amazing job!

Crysis 1 powaaaaa

Yes, i did try one of the packs but ended up back with the vanilla, anyways the OP is just pissed cause he can't run C2 1.9 butter smooth right now (like most of us(the only ultra setting i use is objects), i hope soon we can set more to ultra.(OCing the VRAM helps.)
I didn't mean to call C1 sh-ite lookin' but you know what i mean, idol worship ain't healthy.

yeah, and we can just copy and past crysis vehicle model + xml, they do not work with the SB3

You forget to say that AIwaves and AiTerritory nodes ( for infinite AI respawn ) totaly bug in pure game because of the damned lock for the MP part. ( all work perfectly in the editor )

proof ? play the Warhouse lvl in the SB3 and play it in game = you will see Ai infinite respawn is totaly OVER bugged in pure game while in the editor it work perfectly like it SHOULD work.

You forget to say too, that the SB3 layer painter is a totaly sh*t and dramaticly NEED the texture blending that crysis1 SB2 ( 2007 game ) have !

Oh yeah, and Crysis2 dont have ladder system.. what a shame for a 2011 game... rofl !

Crysis2 SB3 lost somes of very good feature that have the SB2 and WORSE the crysis2.exe ITSELF turn somes FG totaly buggy.

I got bored of C2 very quick. The SP is just exceptionally boring. I liked the MP for a while, but it wasn't special enough to keep me around for long either. It's just incredible the same people made the awesome Farcry and C1.

C1 SP gameplay kept me interested through the whole thing and I probably have as many hours in the MP as I do in C2 MP. It's graphics are amazing considering it's age. C1 offers much more by it's modability and features as it is (much of what was standard in PC gaming in the past).

I am posting this here because I reinstalled to try the new gfx *fixes* out. And since the thread is mostly about GFX, my opinion is that through the years after C1 there has been various games that have these nice effects and decent graphics in general. C2 just isn't anything special or impressive compared to it's predecesor and much less to it's competitors by the years, not to even mention 2011. Should it?

Here's the problem. The game was never made to be "special" like C1 for example. It was the marketing damage control that made us believe crytek will live up to it's name instead of selling us a flustered spinoff ported to PC, that is C2. Now we have confused people going over the same debate over and over again, by those who see what they were told they "would" see, and those who can't see it but can't accept it either.

So you like C2 graphics? Alright, but don't talk it like it's something special if it's even comparable to 2007. Don't like the GFX? Get over it and move on. Crytek cashed in it's assets with C2, but you'll get your benchmark from some other devs (and I will get better games).

My biggest issue with Crysis 2 is the suit speed with or without modules. Sprinting is Crysis 2 seems like a brisk jog and a 1/4 of the distance compared to Crysis/Warhead. It drives me up the wall with the speed because with the smaller maps in Crysis 2 you barely get to maybe a 1/4 of the map where as in Crysis/Wars the scale of the maps really made an impact of how far you really have traveled.
