Here is a step by step plan to boost sales on the PC.

Step 1: Rid the forums of all QQ threads up to the first 20 pages of the forums and make sure you moderate the forums and rid all QQ threads. People dont want to buy the game if people are just going to cry over little stuff about the game.

Step 2: Ban All Hackers! In this game the security features are really not that great when it comes to hacking or cracking. People crack the game for pirates and then those pirates hack the game. So to fix this problem you need to research the hacking software out there. Most of them input a .dll file to mod the game files so you could just figure out that few .dll files for the game and make it to where you cant add .dll files to the game directory.

Step 3: Listen to the community. The community is a great place for information such ideas for future patches. All the community wants is to be heard and for you to acknowledge that so that way they can have there voices heard and even maybe with a chance bring about the greater good we know of crysis 2

Step 4: Fix bugs. This is a priority that must be taken care of. I understand you have a limited amount of time and/or dev's working for you to make this happen, but what if just 1 day out of the week the dev's take the time and work out 1 maybe even 2 bugs and make sure there tested and verified. This way that people will stay on the multiplayer and buy your future DLC to make this game even a greater success that Crysis or Crysis Warhead was!



If you follows this step by step process Im sure you will get PC sales to go up. People wanted a solid game and they want Crysis 2 to be that game. They want the game to follow its previous titles to live up to the glory of Crysis and Crysis Warhead. So please Crytech take a look at this and remember that they community wants to be heard and if you just acknowledge it peopple will be a little bit more happy.


I thank you all for who have read this entire post and I hope you have a great time playing the beloved Crysis 2.

"step 1: delete QQ threads"

"step 3: listen to the community"

ROFL. what a retard.

You apparently dont know how business should work.

Agree.... But, I think they already now this...

Here is a step by step plan to boost sales on the PC.

Step 1: Do not release the game on the consoles. It compromises design. As evidenced by Crysis 2.
End of Steps.

You apparently dont know how business should work.

neither do you apparently.

They're already doing everything you said noob. Lol.

BUMP.

BUMP.

BUMP

They're already doing everything you said noob. Lol.

if they are doing this then... WHERE ARE THE RESULTS

Crytek does what they think should be done. It's a whole team discussing how to do things, they don't need a person telling them what to do. Besides, they delete RQ threads in this forum already, not instantly but within the hour. And pretty much everything you have listed is already on their to-do list o_O

@FatalReactor

Ad1. Removing "QQ threads" won't boost sales, and that a plain fact.
Ad2. This is not even remotely possible, since even Crytek can't prove or even know about every single cheating player.
Ad3. They listen to the community even if you don't see each day forum staff posting something. On another hand community is also full of idiots who post false problems just to troll and mislead Crytek/Forum staff or they simply don't understand that their problem is caused by something else than game. The point is that listening to "wrong crowd" can bring more harm that positive things.
Ad4. Fixing bug it is not something which can be done by snapping fingers, seriously they know what they need to do even if they don't tell you that in xxxx messages posted all over the forum.

They have enught smart people to figure out what they need to do, and you actually didn't post here anything which they didn't know already.

They can fix the bugs but they can't fix Crysis 2 as a game now. The best boost in sales would have been if it were included in the Crysis day of EA week on steam. Obviously, that opportunity is gone, but EA store could drop the PC version in price, or have a sale.

For Crysis 3, if you re-earn the PC players' trust, and make a game which is PC lead, you will sell an absolute ton.

Large maps
Large teams (both scaled back for consoles)
More weapons
Rebalanced suit (hopefully some kind of compromise between N1 and N2 functions)
Return features such as normal sprint, fists, prone etc. (This can't all be done on consoles, so just put the minor extras on PC)

Fatal 4 President.

Brilliant idea. Alienate your paying customers even more by deleting their threads because they are mad they still can't get their $60 dollar coaster to work properly.

How about:

Step 1: Tell the community what your long term and short term goals are for the game.

Step 2: Follow through on what you said above, starting with short term goals (**** dx11).

Step 3: With Crysis 3 take your release date and tack on additional 6 months of development time to it. It will need it, fact.

What you all dont understand that keep bashing this thread is that if they follow those steps it will in fact increase sales leading to a bigger online community. A bigger online community = more money. More money = Crytech even more happy. Which in turn is the best for all players so that way crytech does not stop fixing bugs, banning hackers etc...

Following something is one thing, and making it works thats completely another story. Also bigger community doesn't mean bigger sale, because community is not composed out of people who bought for example Crysis 2, there is plenty people who don't play this game, yet they check this forum.

What actually you don't understand is that they actually do what you are trying to tell them to do. They delete "QQ posts" or posts which have bad impact on community, they start to block accounts of people who cheat, they listen to community even if you don't see that, and they are fixing bugs.
Maybe instead of trying to be smart ass who is trying to lecture huge successful company, try to see what actually is going on here.

Your a moron. Why would you want to boost sales of a turd? That will make crytek think they can just make turds a idiots like you will buy their ****. No one should buy this game. The sales are **** because they gave us a crap console port. Hopefully they will learn their lesson.

Actually Crysis 2 was not a console port. It was a game designed to be played on a windows based machine such as a high end gaming pc. They then took the same concept and applied to to the console making it look like a port when it really wasnt. NomadLives you should really read up on the posts crytech did a few months before release. As for someone that has to use foul language in there posts must really show some intelligence due to lack of vocabulary in such a feeble mind.

I get it now, this is about you looking down your pointed nose at folks AND svckling at Crytek's tit. There wouldn't be the massive negative response if:

A) Crytek had delivered on their pre-release propaganda.

B) Crytek would get their arses in here and let us know whats happening and when.

C) Crytek needs to openly, and sincerely apologize for their actions so far.

D) FIX THE GAME.

BTW, if "foul language" offends you THIS much, you should never have left your bubble in Utah. The world does NOT owe you compliance, and won't present you with a made-to-order environment. Welcome to the intertubes, son!

AGREED!

This man, has no understanding of what a console port is.
Definition: A game which does not fully utilise the capabilities of modern day computer technology due to limitations of console equipment essentially being enforced on the computer release.

Whether Crytek made it on PC and gave it to the XBOX, made it on the PS3 and gave it to the PC or did them all at once makes no difference, fact is, IT DOESN'T USE PC HARDWARE OPTIMALLY, IT LACKS THE MAXIMUM GRAPHICAL POTENTIAL THAT IT WOULD BE AT HAD IT NOT BEEN PRODUCED FOR CONSOLES AND IT LOOKS WORSE THAN CRYSIS 1. IT IS A PORT!!

Crysis 2 is a console game. It's a fact.

You can see this in:

Removal of features to accomodate gamepads

Smaller map sizes and teams to accomodate console hardware

less than optimal graphical detail on PC

'streamlining' of powers as a sneaky way of attempting to justify the removal of intelligent suit management.

Crytek are very capable developers, and tbh I really enjoyed the SP campaign (apart from the fact it was too easy). But they shouldn't have gone multiplatform. At the very least, the PC version should have been bigger and better. The consoles would still buy it, and the difference would only have served as an advertisemant of PC gaming.

ROFL.

"step 1: delete QQ threads"

This.

If they wanted long term sales they would have invested on product quality over marketing and preserved their previously respected name. Sure, *some* QQ is always there. Does that mean more of it doesn't mean anything? Nope.
