MP is a huge issue that should have never been released... I'd rather have a SOLID MP with LAN player 2 months later instead of a broken product out the door.

I am a major graphics freak and I think those screens are amazing. I guess I am way off...

I've seen a lot of comparisons between Crysis 1 and 2 though and in most cases Crysis 2 has better textures.
Crysis 2 doesn't have better textures, the textures in Crysis 2 are actully half the resolution to those in Crysis 1, a lot of the textures in C2 are actully re-used from C1 (just the lower res ones).

I'm not bothered about DX11 etc (i do want the game fixed however) but i would love crytek to release a high res texture pack to bring the textures up to Crysis 1 levels as it's quite disapointing that the 3/4 year old game actully has better/higher res textures.

Now maybe my brain isn't running at Dx11. But if crysis 2 is using "the lower res" crysis 1 textures. Then those awful res textures are Crysis 1's textures which means that Crysis 2's graphics capabilities are superior since Crysis 2s original textures seem awesome, at least on my machine.

In before "OMFG Dx11 QQ CONSOLE PORT"

^what?

DX11 also means better lightning effects.
See Metro 2033 for example.

You cant get does effects only by using some crappy 3rd party texture mod.

I'll have to take some comparison screenies of Metro DX10 vs DX11... All I know is I did benchmarks and DX11 does not run better.

The lens flares are crap-- half the time I feel like I have a smudge on my glasses that need cleaning.

Ofcourse with DX11 it will not run better.
A game with DX11 is more demanding.

So what a minute... DX11 is more efficient yet DX11 features will make the game run slower? Awesome.

I am extremely happy (after tweaks), how well the game runs and looks.

Is the game still a step backwards? DEFINITELY. Smaller maps, horrid MP, etc.

The lens flares are crap-- half the time I feel like I have a smudge on my glasses that need cleaning.

And it softens the image. I can post more screenies of proof. The coronas/flares/whatever you want to call them are so overdone, it hurts my eyes.

I like those lens flares!

By the way i know whose config is this and it's NOT created by you. However this config is handy and works and makes the game like Crysis PC again.

HOWEVER i use Ray's config cuz i get no bugs and this one kinda has bugs but they both are different. I still recommend the config anyways. svcks we cannot lower or disable bloom in multiplayer growl..

This i agree. Have you tried nanovision inside a building in multiplayer? My god it's so bright and it hurts my eyes lol.

I didn't say it was MY program.. but after trying several settings and tweaking for hours, the info I posted in the beginning of the thread is the best/sharpest image quality I can find. If you don't see any differences in the images, then you I don't know what to say to you.

The multiplayer is crap. You can use these tweaks and I can't stand the blur, bloom/lens flare, etc -- And that's even if I can get in a server...

its better with that light. feels more natural

NEWS FLASH! w
We already know about extreme settings and that user-made program.

NEWS FLASH, the textures are still crap in the game.

You do know what dx11 does over dx9 right? If you did, I don't think you would have made this moronic thread.
It doesn't improve textures, if that's what you're trying to say. I see so many people say the textures in C2 are bad and I've yet to see an example of a bad texture in the game.

I've seen a lot of comparisons between Crysis 1 and 2 though and in most cases Crysis 2 has better textures.

Oh I get it, you're being sarcastic. Let me show you some examples of the outstanding texture quality Crysis 2 has to offer:

Look at the links posted. I award you no troll-points.

some morons here never seen any game using dx11 thats why so many moaning idiots about dx11,if you have pentium 4 and geforce 8800
get a job and buy a better computer,or rob a bank,or buy a console its only ￡270,LOL,you cant compare dx11 with dx9 coz dx9 is crap.

Have you been outside lately? If I see a slightly white object in direct sunlight, it doesn't reflect a HUGE bloom and give off a corona and lens flare.

Also, if I see a flame in the dark, it doesn't have a flare that looks like the sun....

Yes, light can wash out and enhance white/bright areas... but not like this.

Strange... DX9 is "crap" yet all of Crysis Warheads and Crysis 1 textures and effects can run in DX9... explain your logic please.

Also, check the first of this post for screenshots after tweaks. If you think those textures/images are crap, you need glasses or are expecting some graphic miracle.

My Graphics Tweaks - We don't need DX11

Meanwhile.... Back in the real world.

Crysis Warhead is Crysis light. It is now 2011. Message ends.

Acer, you are adamant about DX11 and it somehow turning this game into the masterpiece you want it to be. Do you think it "running faster" and "tessellation" making this a better game?

Wow just wow. For the retarded op. DX11 has better performance than DX9. Offers much more than dx9 will ever. yes the real only visual effect of it is a more advanced DOF and Tessellation. But thats not just it. Tiy wukk get way better looking graphics, without the performance hit. Also, If you even looked at the textures say of a building. THEY ARE FLAT. Where DX11 makes them stand out. IE:Tessellation. No graphics "mod" or "tweak" will ever compare to DX11 graphics. Now why dont you actually get a computer that can run dx11 well and go come back when you actually see that dx11 is much better than dx9 will ever be. Im willing to be this kid just wants dx9 only because either A: he's a console kiddie thats mad that pc games get better graphics or B: using some **** pc that can barely run crysis 2 as it is and is mad that people with better computers will beable to run crysis 2 at dx11 on extremely high res's without performance hits.

Ok.. "A DRUNK MARINE", here are my specs:

- Quad Core @ overclocked to 3.4ghz
- 4 gig RAM
- GTX 570 ASUS OC with voltage mod
- Raptor HDD
- Windows 7 64 bit

Been PC gaming since 1989. Yeah, I am a console kiddy who took the time to tweak my graphics settings for the best effect, post screenies and post here. Amazing.

I am saying, YES, DX11 could add tesallation but there isn't a single blockbuster game out there that makes a strong case for DX11. It isn't the savior you think it is gonna be.

in the patch they are more options ....

Show as multiplayer tweaks!
