It's similar to happen to Half Life 2, there was a parite unfinished vertion of the game in 2004 if im not mistaking.
Yes the HL2 code was stolen so valve delayed the game for a year.

Theft/crime is everywhere.

Very sorry to hear this EA and Crytek, maybe you should delay the PC version?.

I'd suggest all of you not even think about downloading it. But I honestly think no one here does it

It's a real shame, but I do think, that the game still be solid and sold a lot of more times, then the first game. They just have to make the right presentation, a Demo, or a launch trailer and everybody will leave an unfinished, 9 days torrent download for a much, much better game.

Real shame it got on to torrent sites. Unfortunatly, YouTube is now crawling with leaked gameplay vids. Most have been taken down by EA before the whole someone did a walkthrough of the single player but there are still some there. F you pirates... >:(

I will buy this game.

cheer up crytek! i'm big fan of crysis2 and i will use real crysis2

I'll just go ahead and pre-order the nano edition =)

Hahahah, this is brilliant marketing. Absolutely brilliant. First I thought why the hell would you make a topic about Early unfinished version of Crysis 2 on Torrent site, but now I'm starting to get it . Very impressive trick indeed, and it looks like it's working.

Even if Crytek didnt leak this build its a win win. There getting more attention from people and maybe more pre-orders and this is a old build and it look awesome.

Just wanted to show my support to Crytek and all it's teams and in hope that everything planned and schedueled will be met.
And it will be a definate purchase for me if, it's atleast a 12 hour long campaign, Editor and get to try the multiplayer demo that it's suppose to be released in the upcoming weeks.

By the way, can someone tell me if it's possible to get the limited version through normal gaming stores or only through pre-order.

Thank you and keep up the good work, Crytek.

Thats the biggest **** ever!
I hate those damn idiots.
Please everyone buy this game legal!

Well, don't blame the PC community. Console games get leaked way before release too. Just look at the last two Halo games. They were both leaked in the summer before their release. If you want to pin the blame on someone, pin it on the employee that leaked it. A developer beta build of a game is not something that just appears on torrent sites.
Thumbs up for this post.

Also, I think this "leaked" unfinished game will encourace players to buy the game. In some forums I've seen doubts about this game. When they saw some leaked gameplay, they changed his mind. I'm sure that the preorders have risen since this.
I won't wait for a price discount for this game. I'm going to buy it on March 25th.

What are you doing Crytek/EA? Bad guys are keep uoloading videos!!! Delete! Delete! Hurry!!!

hehehehe...it's viral marketing...Various forums has had so much attention to this game it's unreal....

Hi! I've just eared that a beta version Crysis 2! Everyone went nuts including you guys at crytek. So... again with the piracy on the pc? Again trying to get lame excuses for anticipating selling "just" about 2 million copies on the pc?
Don't get me wrong, I'm really pissed too... no game in a beta form should be leaked and you have my simpathy but who's fault is it, the piracy? Nop! The only ones you should be blamming is your selves because it was an INTERNAL LEAK not a PC leak or a wiki leak or whatever... your security failed, pure and simple!
I'm getting tired of earing over and over and over that the reason that crysis (and other games) dont sell as much as the publishers or developers expect because of piracy, in this case its a high-end graphics game that can only be played at his fullest by people that have high end pc's, of course it wont sell much on the pc, what are you expecting?!
And by the way any publicity is good publicity... the name crysis is everywhere in the internet now... by hype it at its fullest! So soak it up, consider this leaked beta like a beta test (for all people that want to play the game but surely dont have the pc for it), with the time that remains until the launch make every hour count and make the best game possible!
You will have our support, you will have our money!

You've my support Crytek. I'm still waiting for the release Demo. You can count with my PS3 and PC pre-orders !

Well I won't pirate any game that is for sure. There is still an outside chance I won't buy it at launch either though, depends how it compares to other games when I finally see maxed out PC versions. But I hope Crytek is undamaged by this leak either way.

Personally I think it's possible that proliferation and poor labeling of the beta as well as the rising popularity of pages with beta torrents on them in search engine rankings may make it just too much hassle for most people to find and download the full game in a beta haystack. So it could be a cloud with a silver lining for EA and Crytek.

people are saying that they are stuck at 3rd level and sound is bad in game.So be it.It was bad leak.crysis has great sound in trailers.so they won't try to make game work further the level 3 because they don't want to ruin original game experiance.I love crysis 2.And I am going to by limited edition of crysis 2 in india.Just promise me that you will release game in limited edition also in Indian retail game stores please.
My gamer friends and me promise you that we wont pirate the game and buy it from store.

Crytek , this is not Damaging you ! they commercal the game , those who download it they try it , they say : WOW , and then they delete it because its an unfinished version ... they getting exiting and they pre-order the game , yes its win for you Crytek . To tell you the truth i downloaded the unfinished version to try it on my PC
And i have to say tha t i can play it and i am very exiting about crysis 2 !!! MAN now i cant w8 for the release date TO BUY IT ! I WANT IT

Now about the full version release its sure that it will be pirate by many , but just see Ubisoft , they released tom clancys hawx 2 and they still trying to crack it . but they CANT. it is posible crytek make one of these security protection to avoid Pirating.

I don't think that Crytek was damaged in any way cuz anyone who playd it including me will buy it more harder than before... However I've only played 2 levels just to see how my PC can run it so now i know that I will have to buy 460 (mine is 250) to play in multiplayer and 4 GB ram (I have 3 now) Anyway my HDD is processing something is it because of beta or what? Cuz it produces a lof of lags... I hope its beta's issue

Here in Georgia (European) we don't, we just DO NOT have any official stores! so you have to download it from pirate servers or buy the pirate game... of course I don't think that someone in Georgia is going to buy digital crysis 2 (direct download) except me and my friend, so you Crytek can add 2 Limited Editions from Georgia to your list!
P.S i hope we will have official stores in Georgia in future anyway thanks crytek for everything that you're doing!
LOVE FROM GEORGIA! and sorry for bad English... xD

That's very sad news :/

Pity.. But I'm going to buy the final version.
I'm almost certain that one of the employees of Crytek has released the game on a forum.
How could anyone could do it from the outside?

This really svcks I'll be buying the full version (please put it on steam already! lol) and will not be pirating it.

We should make a "pot" type thing, where you can donate money. 40% goes to Crytek to make up for lost earnings, the other 60% is put towards tracking down the pirates and having them arrested etc

Can we get any official word on whether is this going to affect or not the release date and if the source of the leak as been found and 'treated properly' ??
I know right now is too soon and the devs must need to know first exactly how much of a security breach it constitutes but would like to get an answer on this if possible
Anyway still hope this actually turns out good for crytek as a way of extra advertisemant
