Crytek make the DLC free to revive Crysis2 popularity.

Post » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:15 pm

EA and crytek must have known by now that there paid DLC is an epic fail.People hardly bought it.Even if someone bought it there is hardly any server playing this new maps.So EA thought that they will simply charge for the DLC and people will buy it blindly like they do in COD.But one thing they forgot is that neither crysis has a cult following like cod games nor it is comparable to any COD games.

So for your best interest crytek make the DLC free now.It will bring back players who have stopped playing the game.And will even force more people to buy the game.And those maps are just cutout from the Sp campaign, so it would hardly do any dent to your bank balance even if you make it free.

wouldnt work. imagine the uproar from all the peeps who bought the dlc.

..hmm come to think of it, i think its an ok idea since those who bought the dlc supports crytek much and probably wouldnt mind to have more players playing the dlc with them.

^That's the point.The Mp will get an added boost as soon the DLC is made free.People who have stopped playing it will come back to check these new maps.With this paid DLC **** it is neither helping in improving crysis2 popularity nor it is making crytek any richer.People are not buying it and and also stopped playing. Come on crytek or EA wake up!!

Yes... they need to make it free... so that people who already bought it can feel second time the **** that they felt few months ago when were buying the original game. Price was 60$, few weeks after was 40$, now the DLC is 10$ and let them make it 1$ or 0$. This will for sure not divide community :)

Folks... they cant do it.
What is this all about? Punishing customers that are able to pay for original or this dlc?

Maybe those, who bought it, get the first DLC worth to be paying for (means either a real big MP one or a SP one) for free as they already paid for it - if they don't get the money back.

It will probably be free in the end... with a 'maximum edition' of the game.

I'm sure DLC numbers will increase then and all this anti/free-DLC movement will look daft.

It would be nice if they made it free, besides, mappacks as paid DLC is flawed because it divides the playerbase, those who didn't pay get kicked off the server whilst the one who did pay suffer with low populations who brought the DLC in the first place.

My design method wouldn't be to make maps and shared content free, but the perky additions like modules and weapon DLCs. They wouldn't surpass the strongest free weapons and modules in terms of overall effectiveness, but would give you advantages that the free players wouldn't. Gameplay DLC is a bit of a dangerous game in terms of balance, since people will bich immensely if you nerf things you paid for, but if done right would at least mean players with paid DLC weapons and modules could play with those who don't and doesn't divide the community.

It wouldn't be fair on those that paid if they made the DLC free. Best option IMO would be to have a sale promotion, maybe in a few weeks time - discounting the DLC to half-price.

I think at the moment it is overpriced. Plus the payment methods aren't ideal. If there is a promotion and they have a Paypal option in place I would definitely buy. At the moment there are not enough servers with the maps in rotation to make it worth £8. A promotion would benefit those that have paid also, giving them more opportunities to play the maps with their experience advantage in place.

Most of the bugs that seem to be prominent are getting fixed. I don't see a big deal not shelling out 9.99 bucks for four pretty awesome maps.
The small fee of 2,50$ for a map that you spend lots of hours on is not really worth discussing for me.

Not if they either get their money back or get the first DLC worth to be paying for (which is more than just maps)

Don't make it free, this game needs to lose popularity so Crytek will realise this **** doesn't fly, and then make a proper successor to Crysis1.

Yeah I agree with making it free even though I bought it.. I just want to **** play them. So get your finger out your ass and give them away before you sell them to too many people. The longer you wait.. THe more people you **** over. I paid 10 dollars to PLAY the maps. So make them available for everyone to play ffs. Or give me my **** money back.
