To be honest, by anology with the developers Brink, Portal 2, we can act more loyal to the players, who all this time and still play in this NotPatched product and see how to kill their game turning it into a trading floor - an anologue of COD and other shooters. Here is another example: Battlefield Bad Company 2, where developers have produced revised maps from the first game processed by the second. And then a single company maps are available for play in multiplayer for $ 10 per person.

Maybe this is not money, but buying for the whole mass of games that I have each month to supplement the $ 10 - is inadequate. even in the best MMORPG EVE Online all updates are free. People only pay for the subscription. Shop only with attributes, books and other junk. and a successful MMORPG and the project at the moment.
let's say I have 10 games shooters ... and that I should spend $ 100 to support up to date, these 10 games? this is nonsense easier detergent currently let on veins than paying so much.
even if everyone that MEGAaddon which is essentially nothing new to the game does not add, but only complicate the current process of entering the server. cost $ 1 - it is huge money from around the world, it's not my problem and not a problem of players, that the model selling heroin to children so inadequate, that can not normally play other people are not bought an addon.

This all about that industry, not EA or dev's of this game...did y wan't support this industry **** bricks??

I have not played in Crysis 1. But I fell in love with Crysis 2 on movies and did not hesitate to buy it. But I was able to play only after the patch 1.4 (could not get into multiplayer). Even after he left the game with bugs, glitches, cheaters. I believe that the policy of Crytek must be different. You could release the first DLC for free in deference to the patient players. Especially since it contains 4 maps of a single company and no longer something new. If you decide to sell it for money, while leaving the game a bunch of bugs cheaters - it will be the failed project, in the gaming industry. I know that my words no one will listen but still. Just open the top players and see how people have 2-5 Promotion (and take the first line leaders) to spent time in the game less than a day, but this is impossible. And these people continued to play, I'm sorry for you.

Honest opinion from a DLC owner: It is fine so yes go and buy it if you want.

The trolls and haters on this forum will probably try to make it seem that this is a disaster don't listen to them, despite the teething problems of getting these maps installed I'm actually glad I bought them in the end as they are a lot better designed than the standard maps, nice open spaces in transit for instance.

The only problem now is that the haters are trying to put everyone off buying it. At the end of the day it should be their loss not yours.

Are you dumb?

You're just enabling crytek to this stupid ****

Are you dumb?

To do what? Expand the game slightly for a fee? Give it a small bit of life by adding a couple of new maps to those who wish to pay a bit more for their work?

What the heck is wrong with that? I got the money and I'm tired of playing wallstreet and skyline on endless rotation.

doesn't look like any hating is required to kill the DLC. The extended login issue has already killed any chance of a player base in multiplay on the many Australian servers. There are literally 2 servers that fill up at most in a day and at least half the people on each server tend to be foreigners from what I've seen. So even if the DLC is free, and considering all the bugs and issues I'd think it should be, sadly I'd have to say I won't be playing it even as a freebie. Why? Because the community in my region is practically dead.

Real shame too because what few games I managed to have where there was decent ping and no aimbotters... they were a LOT of fun.

u talk s*** mate

The maps look quite good from the video I saw, but $10 is a bit much -.-

As the guy quoted in the first post:

I myself would wipe my arse with the amount of cash I paid for the dlc, considering most people have gaming rigs 10 times better than mine I wouldn't of thought money would be a problem with most people.

Anyone who buys the DLC is a fool and is being thought of as a fool by EA and Crytek, guaranteed. If you don't see that then you are blind.

and u who wid wipe his ass wif 10 bucks good 4 u mate

I see it from a different perspective:
Me and my clan mates are having a blast with the latest Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit racing with or against each other. The problem is: the DLC's (two were released) are console-exclusive. The basic tracks and cars get boooooring and you feel left out that console guys get new content you don't. We would gladly pay more than 9 Euros for new content if there was any. Bearing that in mind: I am having fun with Crysis2. No bugs in there for me and I don't run Dx11 either. Like noobinator said, I like having new maps to play on too and 9 Euros isn't much for me either. Going to the cinema e.g. is a lot more expensive and maybe not even es time-consuming.

Yes, the PC plattform used to get DLC for free. But these times are long over since the rise of the consoles. I'm surprised people didn't figure that out by now. People feel entitled to free new content because that is the way it was in 2002 or something. We are not a lead platform anymore (and before someone mentions it: no, Battlefield3 will not be any better or change that, it will be released in a buggy alpha state as all its previous installments). Crytek is not the first game developer to raise a fee for DLC, nor is it the first company that releases DLC for a non-bugfree product.

People who are interested in getting new content certainly have their motifs to do so. Tools? Fools? Come on. Things on here tend to go really melodramatic. And I thought the PC community was the more mature one.

Cheers.

you dont expand a game by releasing a mappack you expand a game by keeping people play without any bugs erros glitches after that has been fixed THEN you can release mappacks.

What bugs/glitches that effect you from playing? List in detail rather than just saying "bugs".

are you all PC gamers?? I think we should do nothing... yeah... all of us.. the PC Crysis 2 ... don't buy the DLC and crytek will cry and they will think twice before releasing something that will really change their customers experience... rather than forcing them to buy 4 maps that will be used rarely...

let count the chance of these 4 maps will be used in multiplayer... <----- maybe many don't buy the 4 maps and who has bought them will suffer lose about $10 look, there are 8 people who have the maps, $80 <=== I can feed my wife and my self for a month

Yeah boys its something awesome.... the first DLC must be free! the more its too expensive i think that should cost nearly 5 dollars

Here there is no hatred, only fair voting without a certain orientation. These opinions are important for all community as a whole. The question is put not from a position of hypocrisy or greed of end users. Such as you already will soon pray for the sake of old "new" sold to it again under the pretext of "novelty"... Because of such loyalty of users the game industry has turned to garbage concourse of plagiarism where games in which are born it is impossible to play, where there is a competition whose cheats and aimbots it is better at early stages of a beta... Where one of examples isn't given proper attention to the safety, to that a current situation with SONY. Anybody of anybody of what doesn't accuse... Nobody says that whose that work should be free.

This moment has already come, when the virtual good is on sale worldwide for quite real money... It isn't bad and it is not good... But quality of an end-product for users invariably decreases. The weight of factors and already dead projects testifies to it... Therefore the name of this game symbolizes crisis of quality of projects let out on the market. To me of 27 years and it quite suffices to argue so, I play since 2000...

And the company in a single mode is realized very much even well... Nevertheless, the majority modern crossplatform games is worse PC than the focused.

On the other hand even such frank lack of talent as minecraft today buy as hot pies... I won't be surprised if 2012 is next year of worthless and semidying projects.

People have already forgot to choose and demand... Reflect what company CCP Games activity which is the publisher and the developer eve-online sensitively listens to opinion of community and God forbid their actions will go counter with Council of Stellar Management who to it will play then? And here it is absolutely not important what orientation has the project, as release of paid contents purely marketing course... And frequently the failure.

Steam visually lets know as it is possible to sell a junk to absolutely nobody necessary for real money and several times... The Prices fall off to one dollar... Though at the moment of an exit game could cost within 50-100 dollars.

So yes, it completely your choice if want.

i find the the new maps very refreshing after playing none stop skyline evac statue and the rest, it got to be very repetitive knowing snipers and campers positions. these new maps are quite big and offer some really good game play. thats my 10cents worth, i think the game is quite good and will only improve when they fix these bugs, myself i have not really had any problems, only the unlocks having to redo them when i first load the game.

are you all PC gamers??

It'll probably be the opposite, crytek will think the game is dead and probably move on to developing something else like Crysis 3 or a new timesplitters rather than expand the game further.

Like MLT-THOR said the times have moved on since you got everything for free, we're lucky that they've even announced dx11, sandbox 3 and mod sdk as a lot of other developers are ditching this for closed source gaming. Crytek if they release the mod stuff will probably be one of the last developers to do so.

It's a bit ironic that the console gamers seem more mature about this, crytek shouldn't have to mother us and provide everything for free, they are a company at the end of the day.

Anyone found a bypass to download the DLC and play it online for free yet? Because as you can do that with the full game I can't see why you wouldn't be able to do it with the DLC too.

and u who wid wipe his ass wif 10 bucks good 4 u mate
This isn't 10 bucks problem i think...but y probably wipe yourself after all ~_~ Nobody not tell y that i won't buy anything...perhaps i'm too want new maps...but how fair to me buy maps from single player revised to multi? CoD BO have better map base, and different map packs, that would i pay for ;D...or mb no...

Or y just saying that too hard to crop few maps from single and got money from air? Certainly for you even it will be the favor and a god-send.

They charged $10 more than a PC title should be, and the game's not even complete... Then they throw a DLC at us, and ask us to spend $10 MORE. It's not even anything new, they just took some maps from the singleplayer, and reworked them for multiplayer.

Hell no, I'm not buying this, or any other future DLC. I might stop buying EA games all together, this means no Mass Effect 3. I didn't buy Dragon Age II, didn't even torrent it.

WHY THE **** WONT CRYTEK GIVE US THE MODDING TOOLS FIRST.

OH YEAH< MODDING TOOLS ARE FOR FREE< AND FREE CONTENT IS A RARITY (ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ALREADY PAID FOR IT)

They're not just ripped maps from the SP, they are themed maps on the SP but not the same. The only one that looks close is compound, the others are all different.

To me people on here are blowing it all out of proportion, using their bad experience with the standard game (which some might not even be anything to do with the game and more with their ISP's) as an excuse to warn people off the maps.

To put it simply to people who can play this game OK:- THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DLC MAPS!!

If you can play this game ok without major problems your experience is going to be exactly the same with the maps.

The maps are better than the standard ones so IMO it is worth the purchase if you're sick to death of skyline or wall street.

The only problem now is the servers and lack of players, not because "Crytek svck" but because haters/trolls are coming on forums like this trying anything they can to warn people off buying it and trying to make out crytek as evil or some ****.

A bit ironic that they're moaning about Crytek giving us a lousy experience yet they are trying to ruin ours just to prove a point.

I would pay for it if they fixed the disconnects and random crashes to desktop, and gave us some graphics options (like Crysis 1) so I can play it on my laptop faster. $10 isn't a lot, but it's the principle of it that counts.

"Thanks for spending $70 on our game, now give us more MONEY"

I really like this game. It's great fun. I just find the attitude of Crytek (EA?) appalling. No respect for their fans at all.
