I think its hilarious how the PC kiddies are acting. Playing great on my PC. I'm lovin it sofar. It's fun. Can't play multiplayer yet but I really don't care cus I'm lovin the hell outta SP.

Thats ok. Most of us PC players really hate console kiddies. When you grow up, buy yourself a PC and do some real gaming.

@MONTYSMASH:
You say I'm an ignorant fool?
Crytek doesn't support the mod community anymore.
@Flamers:
SP? I would like to see custom configs one day and I think they aren't possible anymore.

Lol. You didn't even read my post. I play PC. Your console kiddies remark isn't even related. Way to read one sentence.

Wow, the "Crysis PC Community" seems like a bunch of whiny brats. Does it svck that they removed a ton of options? Yes, it does. Do you need to bich, moan, and threaten the developer because of it? No. It is worthless to get so angry over a video game.

Grow up and stop throwing such a petty tantrum. If you have real concerns, write the developer a thoughtful and considerate letter. If enough people do this, they will probably give it more consideration.

Don't judge the whole PC community. Just judge that hefty 50%. It's ridiculous how much they complain on EVERYTHING on every game. I bet their parents bought their PC/PC parts for them.

Those brats really make all PC gamers look bad and it's annoying. I wish they would just move to console or quit gaming all together cus no real PC gamer wants them.

P.S. @ above. Don't listen to Logan. He's a complete dumbass. He has stated that he hasn't even bought the game. He's just a big ol' troll. lol.

I knew this poor bastard Logan6 didn't even own the game. What a sickening troll. Go rot in hell you poor unemployed retard Logan6. Go pirate the game because that's the only way your cheap ass will be able to play it.

Well, we don't like you console kiddies invading our forums. But, then again, Crytek seems to have sold us all out and become a total console developer. So, I guess you can have them. 99% of the PC community is probably going to bail and go over to DICE now. Enjoy your new fans, Crytek. Say hello to Sega and Nintendo for me.

Oh, PC cry babies ...

Before EA/Crytek announced the demo for PC, all of you flamed Crytek so much and now ... Who seriously thought Crytek would not release a demo for PC were idiots. It's just a matter of time.

Keep crying more, kids.

I don't complain about the game itself, I mean, the game has a great story, good gameplay, graphics are OK, BUT:
!!!No modding in a Crytek game!!!!

There will be modding. They are releasing the full SDK in summer and the map editor should come around that time too.

@ DHMH

1. 47 CVars total
You know about CVars, so where is the problem if it comes to fine-tune the graphics engine ?

2. .pak Files encrypted
To load a small compressed/encrypted file and to decrypt/decompress it in realtime may be much faster that loading a big uncompressed/unencrypted file

3. No Advanced Graphics settings
Again, you know about CVars, so what's the problem

4. No Screenshots of the PC Version / not a word about anything regarding PC but DX11There will be DX11 in the near future. Nvidia for example used that Crysis2/DX11 feature within their advertisemants. We just need to be a little patient. Nvidia wouldn't mention it if there is no change for DX11. I'm sure about this (getting DX11), even Crytek never announced DX11 officially ( afaik )

Folks, I really don't understand why so many of you blate about things that are not ingame at the moment. It doesn't need additional money to pay, nor you in need to registry/sign contracts or whatever. Just wait a bit and Crytek will get the ducks in a row.

My job in 'real-life' is to develop software. I'm not a game-software devolper but believe me; the process of building a game like Crysis2 or other modern games has nothing to do with development of games like 'pac-man' and such. There is nothing that a programmer can 'hack' over night. To build a piece of software is hard work and planning how to do so, is hard work too. If you can't believe, read this ( for example ): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design

Again, give the Crytek-Team a little more time

We should get some money back from EA/Crytek... Since we expected to be delivered a full product...
And that's not what happend... Crysis 2 the way it launched is an unfinished game...

@tuxfan:
there are only 47 CVARS (!) left... from ~3700 originally.
It will be a problem to use the Crysis 2 Assets in the CryEngine SDK
( Remember: its the CryEngine SDK, not Crysis 2 SDK)

Anyone who has believe that Crytek would do right by their PC community are foolish to begin with. It's a simple matter of exploiting an entry point in the market (the PC Community) and then moving to a more robust market as the (Console Community). There is no dedication to the fans etc etc anymore, so you really need to wake up. Honestly the first sign that Crytek was exploiting the (PC Community) was when they completely abandoned the Crysis 1 game to begin with. I can't believe you even mention the fact that they made 5 patches.... Thats pathetic considering the amounts of issues with the original game. None of the more serious problems were ever addressed.

Accept the fact that you were taken to the cleaners by con-artists, and move on to greener pastures. Complaining about it won't get you anywhere.

Don't bother DHMH, these are mostly console fanboys, that mostly bought the console game. They don't understand CVARS or PC Graphics. If CE3 is actually capable of anything more than console ****, it has yet to be shown. Crytek has a choice. Show us what CE3 can really do, or lose the PC community.

And personally, after all their hype and lies, I think its too late.

I own the PC version, unlike you who doesn't own any version, you ignorant, FUD spreading neanderthal.

Mouthing off like a 12 year-old dikeweed really isn't helping your case, broski.

I'm not that expert but I'm sure: I don't need ~3700 CVars to fine-tune the game(graphics). Honestly, I have no idea what this 3700 CVar could be good for

@DHMH
ein paar CVars zum rumschrauben sind OK für mich, aber 3700+ ? Es fehlt mir an Wissen, um absch?tzen zu k?nnen, wofür man so eine Menge an CVars überhaupt brauchen k?nnte.
( das ist in keiner Weise ironisch gemeint, ich wei? es einfach nicht )

The Crysis 2 cvars are more than enough to edit graphics.

@iPwn:
Are you sure these commands are actually usable?
If so, then I proved wrong. Sry.
And btw. I'm not a whiner or sth. like that.
Oh, and what about 64bit support? Maybe Crytek will add that via a patch too (like they did with WARHEAD)

64-bit exe is there lol...just not in the Steam version I think.

And yeah these commmands were all usable in the beta...not sure about the final.

@ DHMH
2. .pak Files encrypted
To load a small compressed/encrypted file and to decrypt/decompress it in realtime may be much faster that loading a big uncompressed/unencrypted file

Finally I know why my computer work so slow! I will encrypt everything on my hard drive with AES, and everything will be shiny ;]

You have some point, but definitely not with encryption.

@iPwn
These commands are reported to not work.

Yeah, they were there in the Beta.
And is the 64bit also in the Final?
My friend told me the pak files are encrypted.. and some people (quite a lot) are saying, that there are only 47CVars left.. so? which one's opinion is right?

-.pak are encrypted
-47 cvars
-no 64-bit executables
That is the truth (for now).

I don't know what I should think of Crytek.
I had (and still have a little bit) faith in them, because they created Crysis + FarCry.
But what's now?
What about the things listed above my post.. Patch? I don't think so:

Just think of Nathan Camarillo's sentence
We will make an announcement about DX11 soon!
