I am net sure if this is the right subforum for my post, since I am a PS3 player, what follows is off-course PS3 related as far as the platform goes. As far a the game itself goes, it is rather general discussion.

But anyway.
Crysis 2 has been since the beginning my favorite FPS game, featuring some stunning effects and animations, and most of all, weapons that actually look real (something no other FPS managed untill now in my opinion)
Unfortunatly, although C2 features great graphics, amazing looking weapons and a challenging gameplay load-out (stealth and armor modes), the gameplay itself (Multiplayer!) dissapoints, real bad!

Now, as C2 veteran, I could write a 1000 page book with a list of all the glitches and bugs that annoy beyond reasonable, but that would be insane, I am not the game developer, it's not my job to do what Crytek should have been doing.
What I want to point out however, is where C2 fails, and where C3 hopefully will solve there things.

So this is what is wrong with Crysis 2

1) Lààààààààààààààg - Why can't you get fast dedicated servers like Call of Duty of Battlefield? It ru?ns the gameplay completely, especially in such a high paced game. Also, it makes you feel as if everyone else is cheating! When the host quits, session migration occurs, it get's old really quick when that happens up to 3 times per match!
Host advantage is also annoying, the one who gets to be the host is a god, it gives that one player a devastating advantage over all aother players.

2) Bugs and glitches - There is a bazzillion of them in this game, it ranges from
- Modules that fail (for example Nano recharge level III that somehow always get's stuck a level II in-game although it says level III or Retriever that constantly resets to level I, or even stealth enhance III that completely fails to work)
- Weapons that glitch (don't fire anymore when fired upon), stay stucked in aiming down sights mode, reload and leave you without bullets thus forcing a second reload ...
- Explosifs that don't explode/detonate (very obvious with C4, it sometimes takes up to 6x trying before that damn things goes off!) L-Tag grenades that pop instead of exploding, dealing out zero damage obviously, even when they are meant to explode in the other player's face (I call it the popcorn machine now), and yes even grenades that don't explode anymore after your death...
... I could go like this for hours...

3) Hit detection: VERY BAD in this game!!! Could be related to lag, but it is obvious that sometimes, 100 bullets don't necessarily deal out more damage than one

4) Unbalanced weapons !!! Apart from the feline, every other gun is slightly or severely underpowered, making some totally useless. Also the balancing does not fit the high pace of the game, making gameplay less enjoyable.

5) Exploits! There are many, no need the introduce the already well known Melee glitch.


It was sad to see that Crytek has done nothing to solve any of these issues in the two years since this game came out, I do hope that Crysis 3 marks a new turn, and that the simple stuff like weapon balancing and the elimination of glitches and bugs get's some real attention!
As far a lag and connection is concerned, please, dedicated servers, for all platforms, please !!!
