FIRST OF ALL THIS IS FOR THE PC VERSION OF THE GAME...

IF this was youtube I'd say "Thumbs up if your going to boycott prepaying for any game from these developers ever again!" And every person that read it would give it the thumbs up. I just lost an entire day of ranking up, unlocking weapons and collecting rewards and dog tags. Let me go through a list of problems I've seen so far that should be the first to be addressed in order, if you agree or disagree please reply...

BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL - CHEATERS!

Please, if a user is caught using some kind of cheat, like being able to shoot through the entire map, headshots with every shot, automatic aim bots, being able to shoot while cloked, etc. Then they should get automatically banned from every multiplayer server for the next 6 months. Meaning that their physical IP or something similar would be used to BAN them from every server so they couldn't just make a new account from the same computer. If videos are captured of this person cheating then that should be evidence enough to give them the perminant ban - as long as the video's time code matches with their logged in times and server access times. I've seen dozens of people already cheating and that is exactly what killed Crysis One Multiplayer. If this issue is not addressed Quickly I guarantee there will be a huge loss in the Crysis fan base within the next few months!


Multiplayer Crysis 2 problems
__________________

UPDATE - GAMMA BURSTS Almost always FREEZE THE SERVER. Everyone who keeps seeing servers lag out, it's because of Gamma Bursts and Gunships... The gunships aren't so bad, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST STRONGLY THAT YOU REMOVE THE GAMMA BURST AND REPLACE IT WITH MORTAR FIRE TO REDUCE THE GRAPHIC STRAIN ON SERVERS.

1. - The way the server list populates makes it impossible to click on the server you want because so many servers keep popping up that you can't click on the one you want fast enough. At least give a 5 second window between each update of the list so that I can have the time to click on the server I want. Somehow, you should make the slider stay focused on the servers showing without jumping all over the place so much.

2. - The game should be Updating profile information during game play between matches instead of not at all! If you wait until someone has left a server before updating their profile, then the game could crash and they lose everything like apparently hundreds maybe thousands of people have already experienced.

3. - Fix ranked servers so that they actually start, only Unranked servers are running probably because of # 2.
Also I was in a match where everyone else was in a squad, then I joined and for some reason when the match started only I was in it and they couldn't figure out why there matches weren't starting. Voting was happening and everything then the match started and only for me, they had to wait for me to leave before they could play.

4. - Team balance can be very bad sometimes. There's no option to switch teams, there should be an option for this but only if the teams are unbalanced like in Crysis 1 Multiplayer and with a delay between switching like in Crysis one once you've chosen a team.

5. - The mouse delay is a big problem, the hand moves quicker than the eye might be true, but the eye moves faster than an entire person for sure, BUT NOT IN THIS GAME. Enemies move so fast and because shooting from the hip is so inaccurate that you have to use iron sight to shoot them, at close rang there's no way to keep the gun focused on the enemy if you're in iron sight, which you have to be to be. Its like at close range bullet hit detection is too accurate and far away too inaccurate so in iron sight its almost impossible to focus on an enemy and shoot them if they're close and moving. Removing the smooth mouse delay would probably fix this issue all together.

6. - Fix hit detection - this would be in a patch game update - I've had people shoot me through 2 metal and concrete walls with the assault rifle, I've had people punch thin air 4 feet away from me and kill me even though I punched directly at them and had no effect. Bullets are killing people that completely miss as if anything within 2 feet of the bullet counts as a hit. Removing the smooth mouse delay would also help these issues, at least adding an option for it.

7. - Punching in multiplayer should be as fast as it is in the Campaign. Its so slow that I could punch someone 5 times in real life for every 2 punches in the game. Single player the speed is perfect. I've had so many times where I punch someone twice in the back while trying to do a stealth kill and they turn around once and punch me and kill me, even though I've pressed the punch button 10 times I've only punched twice. If we could punch faster it would fix the glitch of the stealth kill not working sometimes. I've even seen the stealth kill just make me push the enemy really fast forward and not kill them, that happened 10 times in one match earlier, 3 times in a row on a afk spawned enemy standing still. I press the stealth kill button while cloaked from behind them and we both just went flying forward.

8. - Personally I think kill cams should be used in every game type because in many game types it doesn't happen which means I never know how I got killed. If this is a server option, then it should say whether the server has kill cams or not in the server list.

9. - If you're in the menu customizing your equipment and upgrades and the match starting timer runs out, then you can't finish customizing your gun. It would be nice if there was a join game button once the timer ran out instead of cutting you off from customizing your equipment and just shoving you into the game without your consent.

JUST WORK ON THOSE ISSUES FIRST THEN MOVE ON FROM THERE, those are the main ones...

Here are some issues that should be fixed in the NEXT PATCH OF THE GAME...

1. If I crouch behind a wall or planter, if a grenade goes off on the other side of it, the grenade should not have any effect on me besides making my ears ring. However crouching behind walls or planters doesn't seem to have any effect if the grenade is on the other side.

2. - When you call in a Gamma Burst strike, there should be an option to cancel if you accidentally hit the button. I've done this so many times where I meant to Turn on Maximum Radar but then I have to use a Gamma Burst and waste it. In real life its not like they would use the money and energy for one of these if you accidentally called it in then realized you didn't need it.

3. - SERIOUS WEAPON PROBLEMS THAT AGGRAVATE THE HELL OUT OF ME - ...

A. - SMG Grenades don't explode if your fire them within 20 feet of yourself. I don't understand why it would be this way if regular grenades will explode at close range. I've hit people dead on with the SMG nades at close range and it just disappears =/.

B. - Grenades are too bouncy. If I throw a grenade in real life and it hits a wall, it won't bounce off, it will hit the wall then fall almost straight down to the ground against the wall. Almost every time I throw a grenade in this game it bounces of a wall and flies 20 feet back off the wall and kills me.

C. - A lot of times my grenades will disappear if I die within seconds of throwing them, I hate this. If I press the button to throw the grenade then die, then the grenade should at least drop on the ground where I fall and then explode so maybe if the other guy tries to get my dog tag too quick then the grenade will get him.

D. - The Gauss attachment for the Assault rifle isn't powerful enough. I hit someone standing still twice in the chest with the Gauss attachment and it didn't kill him. Even if someone has armor on, If it only has two shots, then both shots on someone should kill them even if you only hit their foot. Whats the point of getting it if you can't kill anyone with it unless they're already seriously hurt.

Here are things that SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED OR ADJUSTED BECAUSE THEY ARE PERFECT!...

1. - Many people complain about stomp kills not being powerful enough, they probably just don't realize that you have to be higher for it to have the right effect. THE STOMP KILLS ARE PERFECT DON'T CHANGE IT PLEASE!

2. - SMG Grenades - EVERYTHING ELSE BESIDES THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T EXPLODE AT CLOSE RANGE IS PERFECT. Besides making them explode at close rang please don't change them.

3. - Maps are great, upgrades are great if they were working properly, awards are great, game overall is still a lot of fun and addictive but as of right now there are too many glitches for me to even play it! I paid a lot of money for this and I didn't expect to be paying for all this hassle. I should get half my money back just for having to type out this message on your forums!

Please just fix these issues in order and don't change or fix anything that doesn't need changing.

P.S. One last suggestion for a future patch of the game. - There should be an individual account forum section for help and support, so if someone has a specific issue with the game like losing all of their rank updates and upgrades, then they should be able to contact support to get the problem fixed. Where they can give screen shots of them having those upgrades before losing them, and someone from support could directly access their account through gamesas and restore their settings for the next time they log in. A website that has this format for example could be OMGPOP.com. If someone has an issue there with a game, then it gets resolved quickly. Thanks, I hope this reaches who its intended for.

our ranked server work perfectly.. no problems at all =)

search "hsn" in the server browser, have fun

--> the current player number is bugged 0/16 is a display bug

Thanks I'll be filtering HSN everytime I play ; ). Anyone else have any ranked servers that are working please post here. Also...

PEOPLE PLEASE BE CAREFUL - I was customizing my equipment and had selected a change in suit modules when the match starting timer was down to 1, and I think the game got stuck because of this and the game crashed. I lost a whole days work of upgrades and went from 2nd Level Specialist all the way back to Private - Lost over 20,000 xp points and who knows how many upgrades and not too mention the most important thing, the time I spent on it!

lol Does anyone else think that typing in a couple numbers doesn't really meat the requirements by law for making sure we're over a certain age to view this site? If it does, cool, I'm glad but I find it funny.

A Sserver I have which is Crashsite ranked is running fine, but when it's full as soon as map is finish it would go right to the next map, so no votes etc etc, but sometimes it will return to lobby and we can vote, on and off, its annoying and hope they fix multiplayer soon, but seems my server was full all day today which is cool

Here are a couple more things that should be fixed Immediately...

1. - Cheaters - A user called Uni-______ something I can't remember with EA in his Tag name was cheating earlier and the server owner had to shut down the server to get him out, but then couldn't get enough people back into the server to continue playing. His bullets would go through everything in the whole map all the way accross and headshot no matter where he was. There should at least be a way to initiate a kick vote during a match by typing something in the console or chat. Like !startkickvoting or some command like that. For example - !startkickvoting PlayerNameHere - would initiate a kick vote on that player and it has to be at least 40 percent of the people playing to vote yes to kick him. To vote would be in chat - !yes - or - !no. I know Admin tools are coming to ban players but still every player should be able to start a kick vote.

2. - Favoriting Server Problem - Its hard to find a ranked server thats working, So while in a server, there should be a button option somewhere on the screen to favorite it. Or at least when you're in a server it should say the name of the server somewhere on the screen (O_o), I can't believe it doesn't! I even typed in the IP address of the server I wanted to favorite while on the Favorites tab and it didn't add the server to favorites. There has to be some way of favoriting a server when you're in it because its so hard to find one that works, but you can't favorite a server once your in as of now!

3. - Friending - You should be able to click on someones name in the Match Voting screen before the match starts and an option to add them as Friend should appear.

4. - When in game if I type something in chat, it litteraly displays for less than a second before disappearing. How is anyone suppose to read that? It has to stay on the screen for at least 10 seconds so someone can read it, hardly anyone types anything because they know nobody is going to see it. All text in game chat should also be a dark color like dark glowing red or something as well because I can bairly see it for being such a light color.

5. - You should be able to propagate servers in the RECENT SERVER LIST in order of most recently visited to least recently visited. Since it doesn't say the server name when you're in the server and when you exit a server it goes back to main menu, how am I suppose to remember what the server name was to get back to it or favorite it?

There are so many User UNFRIENDLY issues with this game I have no idea why it was released so early. The only reason I haven't uninstalled this game is because I know there are a lot of Frustrated people out there like me, who bought this game and want these problems fixed just as bad. Please do so as quickly as possible, hell you can even hire me as a customer support representitive or anything like that you need to get this game working correctly if you need someone who knows what they're doing to help out. I've seen a lot of customer support conversation people have posted that they are unsatisfied with and I guarantee if they had talked to me they would have been much more optomistic about the game afterwords instead of being angrier.

I agree with everything "JonDumela " said.
Crytek FIX ALL THESES ISSUES BECAUSE I and everyone else is experience these same problems.

amazing thread, im repltying just so it stayst at the top of thread lists, because crytek HAS to read this thread

This isn't even touching the surface of multiplayer. Change topic to "some of the problems..." Instead of EVERY problem. Because you don't know HALF of the things wrong with this game. And add these to the list.

Paper armor. The armor effect stops at most an extra bullet on a decent day WITH the perk to decrease armor energy consumption. The damage you absorb fluctuates so bad. Most bullets penetrate through the armor and we take health damage instead of just "energy" damage. So we're taking double damage because it absorbs energy and HEALTH. What's the point of that? I've gotten killed with armor on by a couple of pistol shots. People have sprayed me from afar while I have a full energy bar and armor on, and it does nothing to prevent me from dying.

Sliding doesn't always works.

Reload gets stuck.

Attachments and unlocks don't stay, I have already lost some weapons and attachments.

Hitboxes glitch way too much, I get killed behind cover and even the kill cam shows the guy shooting thin air. (Not lag, I know the lag kills all too well)

The heavy machine gun doesn't do enough damage to offset the fact that it has horrible accuracy and slows down the user.

People get headshots way too easily and randomly, doesn't matter the weapon. The hit boxes for headshots are a joke.

The list goes on and on.

Thanks for the list

/moved to PC discussion - if your thread is specifically on a platform, please use the appropriate forum. Cheers!

These "problems" listed here quite minor infact compared to that majority of people cant even login or have disconnection issues

Guys, the Air-Fisting, and Cover Kills are all part of public Engine Hacks.

see: http://www.google.ca/search?q=crysis+2+hacks&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADFA_en

Those top google links will explain to you the complexity and subtlety of the known hacks/aim for Crysis 2. The only way that these are Cryteks problem, is there lack of effort to remove then.

are you runnin 2x gpu's??? try turning one off and see if that fixes the issue might even fix them all

bn

These "problems" listed here quite minor infact compared to that majority of people cant even login or have disconnection issues
yeah I get disconnected all the time.. I've played like 3 full length games since the release

8. - Personally I think kill cams should be used in every game type because in many game types it doesn't happen which means I never know how I got killed. If this is a server option, then it should say whether the server has kill cams or not in the server list.

It's also a pretty good hack detector. I had a killcam once that showed my assailant headshot me with a MK60(the heavy gun but not the mounted machine gun) at sniper distance, it's so far that my character model is not even rendered at his view and there was a tree blocking his sight. He wasn't even using his sights. Then I saw he had 20+ kills and 4 deaths.

Let me add my points here...

1 Options in server filters don't save
2 Use in-game chat while dead
3 No automatic respawn (this is related to no. 2)

What must be solved is how quickly you die

We have those damns nanosuits, and still you die in 1 shot to the chest

Sometimes I feel like playing COD (in cod you die less often)

Am I really the onlyone that has no server's showing at all?! =\

Yes Khalirei, I also agree with everything you said. So Here are a few more problems to be fixed in the next patch, mainly my list was for things that could be fixed without a patch, or so I thought, but maybe all these issues need a patch to fix them...

More Issues
____________

1. - GAMMA BURSTS Almost always FREEZE THE SERVER. Everyone who keeps seeing servers lag out, it's because of Gamma Bursts and Gunships... The gunships aren't so bad, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST STRONGLY THAT YOU REMOVE THE GAMMA BURST AND REPLACE IT WITH MORTAR FIRE TO REDUCE THE GRAPHIC STRAIN ON SERVERS.

2. - Someimtes as Khalirei pointed out there are some weapon issues for example:

A. - Sometimes my primary weapon just won't fire unless I switch guns then switch back, it cost me quite a few games where I was a point away from winning already.

B. - Also, sometimes I spawn and the attachments for the weapon are incorrect so I have to switch weapons and switch back to correct it.

C. - Also, the gun won't reload occasionally so I have to use my other weapon which has cost me quite a few games as well.

D. - All of these weapon issues are a problem with lag due to Gunships and Gamma bursts I'm sure, one more would be that when I go to punch the animation doesn't play even though I am punching. This Is the main weapon glitch that makes me feel that they are all due to lag of the server from the Support Glitches.

3. - I don't like how I automatically Grab ledges, I've tried so many times to jump inbetween to levels and end up on the top one even though I didn't want to. THERE SHOULD BE A BUTTON TO PRESS TO GRAB ON TO LEDGES, AND AN OPTION IN THE OPTIONS MENU TO MAKE IT AUTOMATIC OR NOT. For this I would suggest making the button be whatever the action/use button is in the user's keyboard configuration. In mine it's enter so enter would also grab ledges if I wanted to.

4. - A lot of times I try to slide and it just won't work, I'm not sure what the direct acitvation is besides sprint and crouch but if there are any extra parameters to activate it they should be mentioned. I press Forward, Sprint, and Croutch and I should slide everytime if I have suit energy but thats not the case. Sometimes I can try it over and over and it takes 5 tries to get it to work.

There are some more issues like matches starting when the countdown is over without a join game button, It would be better with a join game button so I could finish customizing my equipment. I was even in the middle of customizing when the match timer ran out once and it froze my game and I lost a whole days worth worth of upgrades. So for now I'll leave you with these problems and hope to see them be addressed soon. Thank you, I'll add the Support Call server Lag Glitch to the Top of my other list.

For me DX11 is top of the list. If I just want to get on line and shoot people I also have Medal of honor for that.

I agree

Great list.

Right now the only 2 things I can play without ripping my hair out is assault and classic mode, since a lot of the issues are mitigated with no nano suits.

You guys talking about owning your own server... Please make your servers mixed game modes and mixed maps, with votes in between rounds each with a different game mode and map. At Standard Settings because this is the best type of server in my oppinion, I've only ever came across 2 of these types and it was the most fun I've had on the game. Thanks guys.
