Actually, the textures don't usually bother me. It's just that sometimes I'm stuck against a wall for a while and I notice it's really blocky, and completely flat. Things being completely flat is annoying sometimes, but not really.

What I miss the most is actually the physics from C1. Destructible environments are so much fun, but in C2 So much stuff is just fixed in place. Destructible environments are something that are definitely noticeable no matter what resolution you're playing on, and they're something that CE3 flaunted in its demos that simply isn't present. In C1 when I shot a try bark shattered and eventually the tree crashed down. In this game when I shoot a tree flat bullet holes appear next to it, stationary, while the try continues to sway back and forth.




i have to agree when theres a pause in combat ''cloaked behind a crate or such'' ''or first seen when your in the sub the guy next to you has low res armor and all the dead bodys do aswell in the game or the living dead bodys'' you tend to take a look around and see stuff that should look better

not having the destructible enviroments svcks i remember shooting trees and plowing into walls to kill guys in crysis 1 other then those 2 gripes and some of the other bugs i think the game is good

so theres a way to take some of the crysis 1 textures and shove them in this games texture files huh is there a guide on crymod for it ? and anyone planing on making a physics pack if the textures and such are interchangable can physics be added to objects?

Man they could rename the game to Crysis DIY (do it yourself)
Want better textures --> fan made texture pack
Want to set up advanced graphic options or toogle crouch/aim --> fan made config aplications
What is next?
Fan made AI fix, Fan made quick save, multiplayer stat saver every 5 mins, menu music fix?

Kudos to all smart Crysis fans that are helping to fix this game. I admire your patience.

i hope they do they work faster then a official tech team no hoops and ladders to jump XD thats why i hope pc gamers get modding tools if we do im guessing someone would even come along and rework the whole single player game XD

unless this is one of the "security" fixes
they are talking about

makes me wonder how the DLC section is going to
work for PC version

I know this is a pretty easy thing to do, and the OP did explain it well, but I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly, is there a more specific tutorial available?

its not the fact that it looks low res when it zoomz in its the fact that the first ones used higher res textures and overall looked better. Games graphics are supposed to get better, not worse. Im enjoying the game but it does anger me it looks identical to the 360 version.


Let me get this straight. It doesn't matter how good a game looks, but games just have to look BETTER. Even if the game looks totally brilliant that doesn't matter because it has to be better than the last one? Ok.

The game looks pretty darn good compared to all the other things out there and runs even better. Oh, but of course that doesn't matter. The game looks good and runs good but what's this? Some console you don't even play on looks similar? All the good looks and good performance doesn't matter any more because you want your system to feel superior? Ok.


Faith in humanity = -100000

I agree with you at 100%, i don′t undertstand why so much hate about Crysis 2 graphics.Yes, grass for me looks kinda bad and i even a have a graphic glitch(ground is too black) and i can sware that sometimes i get that ground texture as it should be, depends on servers and times(at least for me).I just can′t remember the map′s name where sometimes i got good textures and others got 'black ground textures'(talking about Multiplayer ofc.)

I played Crysis 1 and yes the graphics are better than Crysis 2(if they update the game with dx11, it will look better, dont forget it), but you to have(easy, not necessarily admit just a bad expression lol)admit that Crysis 2 Multiplayer is better than Crysis 1 Multiplayer(and yes i have the original Crysis and i played MP a lot besides of being a Cod player(not anymore).Example: People complaining about maps being small and linear is stupid. in my opinion, yes, they are small when comparing to an Island scenario, but for me New York was a good choice,a good change after two Crysis in a Island...the maps are not defenitely so much linear as people complain(ex:nice elevations, variety of paths(you can go from A to B in many ways in the majority of maps), also the nanosuit is better now and more balanced and if you want to use vehicles just go Single Player.Crysis 2 gives us less freedom, but camone we are playing in NYC locations and they look nice and play nice,so, why so much complain?

Once patched, this game will rock even more and if the dx11 support came along with some official advanced graphics options, that will be a blast!

Suggestion: Cry-Adam(Crytek) if you read this(i know it′s off topic) please consider seriously the implementation of Punkbuster anti-cheat and let server admins control the server, instead of just a defined map cycle, also an option to vote kick would be nice!

A Multiplayer tip: to efficiently track stats, do the 'customize equipment thing' in a lobbie(i join a empty one just to change modules, weapons, attachments,dog tags), then leave the lobbie, close the game, re-open it ad you will see that everything is saved.

Stop wasting time hating in stupid things, time is precious and some people just spend too much time posting insults and being a douche in theses forums(It′s my opinion, you could hate on it, i don′t care)

Take care...

This is doomlords explanation how to do it:

More detailed guide:
You will need: Crysis 2 and either Crysis 1, Crysis WARHEAD or Crysis WARS (pick one)
What to do (for this example I will be using Crysis 1):
1. Go to the "game" folder in your Crysis 1 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game)
2. Find the file called "Textures.pak"
3. Make a copy of textures.pak to somewhere else (desktop, for example)
4. Rename textures.pak to textures.rar
5. Extract the file using WINRAR (right click -> extract files...)
6. You should now have a FOLDER on your desktop called "Textures"
7. Copy this new Textures folder to Crysis 2's "game" folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2\gamecrysis2) Note that in Crysis 2 the "game" folder is called "gamecrysis2"
8. You are done. Note that this will only replace terrain textures, not objects textures

EDIT:

Ive heard you could also try out Rygels textures.. if youre brave enough to use them ( in the same way as it was described earlier) you could increase the ground texture quality even more.

EDIT2:
How should DX11 increase the texturequality?
What could be done is to increase the geometric detail via tessalation and add some more volumetric effects to it but the textures will remain the same even with Dx11.

Look at Crysis. Back to Crysis 2. Back to Crysis NOW BACK AT CRYSIS 2. Sadly, it isn't Crysis. But if you stopped using the textures that came with Crysis 2 and replaced them with textures from Crysis it could look like it. Look down, back up, where are you? Your in a park with grass so real you can feel it between your toes. Whats in that file? Look at mine, It's that anti-cheat patch for the multiplayer you've always dreamed off. Look Again, THE PATCH IS NOW DIAMONDS. Anything is possible when you develop for PC before consoles. I'm on a Ceph Gunship.

:D

MAXIMUM MEME Crysis is sewious buisness

Damn, you made me laugh while I'm at the office (and shouldn't be browsing Crysis forums, but anyways).
*thumbs up*

I create texture pack (some textures are changed on hi res). Download it from here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FYT9YF78

How to Install:
1. Download file (exe archive)
2. Run it.
3. Enter Path to game (for example, C:\Games\Crysis 2, nothing subfolders! )
4. Press "Извлечь."
5. After install bat-file ReplaceTextures.bat run aftomatically, it rename Testures.pak (create backup) and create folder Textures, textures loading from this folder. If bat-file don't run, you can run it manually from folder "Crysis 2\gamecrysis2". In this folder exist file "RestoreTextures.bat", witch repare old textures if you wan't it...

P.S. Sorry for my English, i very bed speak it...

I very bad speek eng.... But now i think about new version of pack and find new textures...

Opv, are you Doomlord on the Crymod forums?

No. I am not Doomlord

LMAO Good job in succeeding to take away the style in C2.

Other than that grass shot everything else looks ugly as sin

Style in Crysis 2? You mean the low res textures?

You do know we are expecting a patch this week right?
Yeah I'm a little scared don't want to be banned I wonder if this is considered a hack[/quote]


LOL you really think modding crysis 2 gets you banned? Dude it's just a graphic modding like we did in Crysis 1. Improve the beauty of the game. What kind of input made you think you'd get banned? O.o[/quote]

CHANGING THE CLOAK TEXTURES.
