Good try crytek!

This game is good but no one is going to be playing this 6 months from now except maybe the hardcoe fans mark my words. I've played for about 8 hours total and the game is so inconsistent. It's a very frustrating game to play. I think the cloak is way too powerful and overused. I know it sounds like I'm no good but I've been playing FPS for years now and I think this game just isn't for the mainstream consumer. Don't get me wrong the game has it's upsides but it's just too complicated to get a consistent rhythm going. Maybe I do svck, but hopefully I will give it more of a shot. I just can't play it anymore for a while because I'm tired of being shot in the back.

I have that Cloak Tracker perk fully upgraded and I see cloaked guys quit easily.

people will definitly be playing this game 6 months from now, especially when they come out with the sandbox 3 editor. This game is addicting and fun. The issues you mention will get fixed, you just need to give it some time.

is Sandbox editor 3 coming to 360? i doubt it but it would be pretty cool and add some longetivity to the game, even if its as simple as far cry 3 which was pretty complex for console editors. I would be very satisfied and would be playing the game well past 6 months

Sorry to hear you're not satisfied but at least you didn't flame thank god lol. There are a lot of issues at the moment but yea, you gotta give it time. I LOVE THIS GAME, just like how I loved Crysis 1, and the multiplayer is very stressful at this moment, I agree with you. I get angry at times and yell at the game but in the end it's still fun for me. Once some issues are fixed or I get more stuff unlocked it'll be less stressful.

Cloak is pretty overpowered. It was perfect in the demo, but they buffed it for some reason and now you can't see anyone cloaked more than 15 feet away.

Sadly, it seems like everyone over rank 20 figures out how to abuse this and stays cloaked for more than 90% of the game. Hoping they change cloak back to demo-visibility.

The cloak is much less usefull than armor.

And people will proably be playing this a lot until Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3(unless is like bad company)

I agree with pretty much all of you. Cloak is too overpowered and I cant even see the people half the time(I also have bad eye sight). Also there is times where i feel i unload dang near a whole clip into a guy and he can hit me with a few shots and kill me instantley. Don't get me wrong tho, I love the game so far. Also what is this sandbox 3 deal?

I think cloak should be more like Halo reach where if you're still it will be completely invisible and if you're moving it has less invisibilty. I want so badly to like this game but at the moment I'm really frustrated. I will continue to give it more of a chance. I'm only a level 16 so maybe once I get up to a higher level I might enjoy it more.

I honestly don't feel the cloak is overpowered what-so-ever. I can spot people within a medium distance cloaked, even without the cloak tracker. I think it's the long distances where the cloak really shines.

As far as staying cloaked 90% of the time, I pretty much use the Feline, which allows me to haul ass across a map, and the mobility upgrade. Hell, I feel the Feline is far more overpowered than the SCAR, but maybe I just svck with the SCAR. Also, if you fully upgrade Stealth Enhanced, it makes stealth drain your energy slower.

Cloak and Armor aren't overpowered.

People use the hell out of them because they have NO FAITH in their weapons. They're so **** inconsistent. Sometimes they kill in a few shots, sometimes they don't kill even if you empty a clip. Which one will it be the next time you get into a fire-fight? No way to know.

So they figure, may as well cloak or armor all the time just in case. Cause if I don't, I'm possibly ****, no matter how well I shoot.

Nobody will be playing this in 6 months. Not because it's too complicated, but because the shooting just flat out doesn't work.

I agree with the poster who posted about the cloak breaking. As you start to move, the cloak should "Break".

Cloaking isn't over-powered, it just needs to be fine tuned.

Of course not! They love COD too much to see what a good game is!

When I say mainstream consumer, I mean the consumer that buys and plays a game that's fun and enjoyable. Who wants to buy a game that when you play it you can't compete on your own skill? Crysis 2 is all about playing it till you unlock all the perks so that you don't have to use any skill. I'm not saying the game is all bad but you really have to dedicate yourself to play through hours and hours of getting your butt kicked until you recieve the perks nessesary to compete and actually enjoy the game. With that being said, I'm not sure the average consumer wants to do that.

I was sorely dissappointed in Homefront. This game has some issues too but I think it is much closer to being really good then homefront will ever be.

cloak is not OP, like 1 or 2 bullets kill a guy cloaked, 1 hit takes them out of stealth + completely drains their energy.

It's like any game your going to be shot in the back so deal with it. I mean if you get shot in the back put on maximum armor turn around and shoot them back. And don't give a game a bad review if your no good at it.

Easily the worst multiplayer shooter I've ever played.

And I've played them all.

Just a complete disregard and disrespect for the fundamentals of what makes a fun GAME (let alone shooter).

Putrid, worthless, embarrassing filth.

A disgrace to a once-great franchise.
