Ok, I have to say this first, for DirectX 9 this sure looking pretty damn amazing. That being said....I have a fairly top fo the line pc i paid 2500 in parts 12 months ago to build. This things eats everything i throw at it including this game. I really wish though that I could have seen it try and play a DX11 version of Crysis 2 that would have made it cringe a little.

The game has a TON of minor annoying bugs as well and the AI is about as smart as a girl scout with a Sniper rifle.

Whats with the GLOWWWWING lights everywhere too? The night levels seems to ahve every light shine a glare that was totally unrealistic and annoying. It seems like they simulated lighting for the older consoles and ported it on the PC.

Where the heck are all the Graphics options? Come on Crytek not even Antialiasing or Motion blur? That was half the fun of crysis, tweaking it to your personal preference....bad Crytek!

My Judgment: NOT worth 60 bucks for a technical showcase, but if they release a patch fixing those bugs, the AI, and upgrade it to real DX11 not just simulated crap then i'll be a happy camper in that aspect...somehow i doubt they will do that.


This is definitely more geared towards consoles unfortuantely, and I somehow doubt that Crytek really did focus on making this an awesome PC game first, then work on the console version.



last note... Gameplay and the story was rather fantastic. Kudos to that!

Forgot to add, Crytek, I gathered a nice chunk of Alien Catalyst and each time i gathered it the game wasn't recognizing it, I think i actually only got about 1/3rd of the total catalyst.....kind of a major bug...

I guess you put it in a nice way.... i would say LieTec you guys svck.

This glitch astounds me the most. I have it, and I can't play the single-player...

I found the vehicles would steer much better in this game than the original. Wish they gave me a serial code so I could play the multipayer though.

I Reall hope they Add a Sandbox editor. It was way too much fun Modding Cryengine 2. Please crytek!

I agree with the BLOOM overkill. If we can find a way to work around the console via tweaks like we did with Crysis 1. We can change the way Crysis 2 feels and turn it into CRYSIS 1 graphic mode

Only if we can figure it out. I'm beginning to think the BLOOM has something to do with HDR settings. Makes me wonder if we tweak that would we be able to TONE down the BEAMS and GLOW? Dunno.
