Crytek,

I've really enjoyed the multiplayer game so far regardless of all the issues that have upset alot of people on these boards, but now I'm really pissed off and I feel like giving up on the game.

I reached lvl50 last night, I did this legit and I put a lot of effort in to get there. I was in the top 40 for the amount of games won and I was in the top 100 for the amount of kills I had.

Since rebooting my Nanosuit what do I have to show for my efforts? **** all! Who at Crytek thought it would be a good idea to zero all stats except XP? In all the years I've been gaming, this has to be one of the most retarded things I've ever seen.

The second most retarded thing I've ever seen is the fact that all the gametypes are now locked again. Haven't I already proved that I'm capable enough to play them? Ridiculous.

So to sum up, my reward for my time and effort is to keep my stats on the XP leaderboards, the most pointless leaderboard as it's mostly populated boosters, a rubbish rank badge that looks just like all the other ones, and I got some CELL camo for the weapons I don't even use.

Many thanks for turning a believer into another bitter and pissed off consumer.

I hear you brother, I was 26th in the world for kills before rebooting. I thought it would be just my service record but 6000+ kills all gone and there is no reason for it.

The emblem should be a different colour than the usual blue/green or whatever it is. Like red, purple, gold etc so it's identifiable what prestige your at. No-one knows what you are currently, not much of a prestige when no-one knows your position. Defeatist?

I agree with you about the game modes being unlocked, I was a 2.60 kd player before rebooting. 2.10 now as I don't have enough energy to run 10m without recharging until my modules have upgraded and they're telling me that I don't qualify for the other modes? You're telling me that I can't play on Extraction, Assault, Classic, Pro etc with my friends or clan members until I've invested another 20 hours? You're **** kidding me. They should have said before prestiging that all game modes would locked before arbitrarly locking them.

I like the camo's though, good idea that was. The only identifier of rank.

Things keep getting worse and worse with this game, the list is endless.

Yeah TB, pretty much everything that is wrong with the game I've forgiven, but I'm really pissed off about the reboot. I feel like I've been shafted.

That's a good idea of yours, changing the colour of the emblems. I'm probably at the age now where I shouldn't be bothered about stats and leaderboards, but I do feel like I deserve some recognition for our efforts.

The only respite is you can still join those games if your party leader is ranked high enough, so if playing in a team you can have access that way.

But yeah, the whole system of prestiging and XP grinding in FPS games svcks. 500 kills just to get a module working fully!? Before you even know what you'll get from it or how effective it'll be!? Stupid.

When you've invested as many hours as us into something you want something in return, basic human nature. It's not a prestige unless other people know your rank.

The president wouldn't have prestige if no-one knew who he was, he would just be another man in the street. Crytek must have both the smartest, creative and stupidest people in the world working for them at the same time.

Yeah and until you upgrade it your at a massive disadvantage especially if you don't have stealth enhance III or energy transfer unless you enjoy recharging every 15 seconds. Those Nano-Suits need better batteries.

You must sacrifice something if you want those camos XD

Seriously? I'm only at rank 26 at the moment but I was considering rebooting since I found out you can do it like 5 times or something. That is a horrible design flaw. No rank color change? Re-locking all of the game modes and forcing you to re "prove" your ability to participate in the various game modes. Stat resets? What the ****? It's bad enough there isn't much incentive to play this piece of **** software in the first place but after you get past the bugs, boosters and almost complete silence from **** about the support this game NEEDS, there just isn't any reason to continue playing this poor excuse for a shooter.

As I've said before. This is 2011 and game developers just don't put much effort into this stuff anymore. I have a high attention to detail and if I were in the multiplayer design team I would have caught that day one. Seriously, as I've said it before, Game devs need to shut the **** up about Game Stop and used games sales. People sell your **** games to them because at least Game Stop gives incentive to it's customers to do business with them, albeit they're a rip off in the price department (at least for me) they still give customers a reason to buy from them. I remember Bungie biching about used games sales and mentioning "giving incentive" to buy games new. You know what they came up? A redemption code to unlock a "Recon Helmetz ZOMG" from the Halo: Reach disc. A **** helmet with a cellphone taped onto it. Shady as ****.

Ok now that i know what happens im definitely not doing it haha

Don't bother rebooting unless you really want the camo's badly.

Like I said, no-one AT ALL knows what prestige you are anyway so what's the point. I was playing as a sniper as I had no energy to move around and "run and gun" (since they reset modules) and I went 1KD im my last 5-6 games so can't be bothered anymore. Too dangerous to run around with assault rifle or anything else as everyone else has tonnes of energy to run, jump, armor and stealth as they have all the modules while you have nothing. Running around with no stealth because you have no choice getting yourself killed over and over again.

Relocking game modes is a joke, so messed up that I can't even put it in words. Completely pointless. I want to play in classic so people with modules won't have an edge on me but I can't because I need to play another 20 hours first.

The only respite is you can still join those games if your party leader is ranked high enough, so if playing in a team you can have access that way.

Yeah and until you upgrade it your at a massive disadvantage especially if you don't have stealth enhance III or energy transfer unless you enjoy recharging every 15 seconds. Those Nano-Suits need better batteries.

Completely agree with this. Stealth Enhance 3 is one of the worst offenders, as it's pretty much essential in higher level play, yet takes 350 kills. Mobility Enhance unlocking at level 6 is another one, as is Nano Regen taking 1500 regens to fully unlock.

I also had to get 100 pain in the ass kills with the damn machine pistol just to get ex. mags and a silencer on it so it becomes actually slightly useable. No way am I doing all that again.

Yeah I was thinking about rebooting (to get some new dog tags) but probably won't now. There's just too many disadvantages. This situation pretty much sums up the game - lofty ambitions and with great innovation, but let down by a few crippling issues. I think the message for Crytek (and indeed any other developers of games) is that to keep players invested long term then the key is in the detail.

Did Crytek really expect that a player who invested 20+ hours to welcome a leaderboard reset?
Gamers love stats, isn't that why gamesas was supposed to get a stats upgrade?

I'm not exaggerating when I say the game is unplayable unless you have stealth enhance III. Without stealth enhance I'm a 1.5 kd player, with it 2.6+. That's the difference between me getting 7 kill streaks once or twice a game vs. struggling to get a maximum radar before I get killed for killing someone and not being able to make an escape cos I have no energy or they find me sitting in a corner recharging. Completely retarded.

They should make it so that you have Stealth Enhance III on all the time, so then perhaps the other 7 modules in that tier are actually used. There is nothing strategic or tactical about recharging everytime you jump or run 15m or kill one person. It makes a run and gun game slow, absolutely pointless. This is not BFBC2 it's Crysis 2. Sitting in a corner recharging is NOT tactical, calling it energy management is ****.

prestige bro

Well, I am right now around 250 overall in kills. Probably 1100 in xp. I am lvl 45 and will get the opportunity to reboot in a few days. Crysis 2 was the first FPS multiplayer game I really played. WHen I started, my K/D ratio was at .49 and gradually settled at about .56 in my first week. I have gotten a lot better since then, and it's at about .88 now. I am pretty sure I'm doing about 1.3-1.6 routinely now, occasionally going 5:1, but overall I am doing better than the majority of players. Also, after leveling up several perks I am confident that Stealth enhance and mobility enhance are by no means requirements for high level play. I believe that if you are sitting in a corner recharging your suit, you need to re-think your strategy, and you probably aren't as good at it as you think. If you are 2.5 KD with all good perks, and 1.5 without, you are a 1.5 KD player, period.

Anyway, I believe I will reboot to reset my ratio, just so I can get the achievement and see how good I am actually doing now. I can play 4 hours not going below 14-9, but averaging 18-9 and I'm lucky to gain .01 on it currently. I have 4000 kills, so I would have to get 600 or so kills without dying to break even at a 1. I think I may reboot and consider it my gain.

Ok now that i know what happens im definitely not doing it haha
Same here

Stealth Enhance and Mobility Enhance only allow you to move more, little else.

Who are you to start suggesting that those two modules are not required for high-end play when you have 0.88 KD? You don't use them hence you're low KD, perhaps you should and inform us of the results after 20 games or so with the full upgrades.

So your suggesting that if I get 2.60+ KD then it's not legit because I like to move around alot? Because I like to move around I'm a bad player and haven't earned 2.60+ KD? You might like sitting in corners every 15 seconds and recharging and dying often, which seems the case by your appalling KD. But I like to run, jump, slide, armour, stealth and evade attacks (TO USE MY NANO-SUIT) you like to sprint, recharge, jump, recharge, stealth for 5 secs, recharge. Not for me to be honest but each to their own. When it takes to 2 mins to get across a 200 metre map because I keep running out of energy it's no fun for me. I didn't buy this game to keep watching a blue bar (ENERGY) rapidly decreasing and increasing all game.

It takes more energy to move in this f'ing nano-suit than it does for a real person without a nano-suit. I can't run 20 meters before having to recharge on this game, I could do that without breaking a sweat in real-life.

Think before you speak next time, thank you.

I hear you brother, I was 26th in the world for kills before rebooting.

26th in theworld eh. That's great for you. Probably not so great for the people you've killed since you probably got most of them through lag benefitting you.

I'm host about 5% of the time, so lag never benefits me. troll fail

I'm not doing this then, what is the point in resetting stats?

New Camo's and a prestige emblem that looks the same as all the others. Complete waste of time.

I played upto rank 10 this evening, but it's funny how a game that filled me with so much enjoyment now leaves me feeling empty since rebooting.

I'd love to know who's idea it was to zero all stats except XP. Did they think that players would enjoy seeing all their hard work destroyed and then have tons of fun doing it all again? All it's succeeded in doing is make me question why I bothered in the first place and make me not want to play the game again.

That's quite sad in a way. I've been playing games since before leaderboards, achievements, unlocks, etc, etc. I used to just play games for fun, but accumulating over two days game time just for it to be erased with the push of a button really takes the piss.

Lets face it, we need another game on the 360 that the community will want to play on xbox LIVE for a long time. Fans of Halo, CoD and Gears of War have been doing it for years. I want something new, a game of real quality and enjoyment and I really wanted Crysis 2 to be that game. There are too many games released that are barely good enough. We consume them in double quick time and it's onto the next one. There are so few games that are the exception to this rule.

With all the problems that Crysis 2 has had, I've seen all the negative posts on these boards and though "this game is great, what's all the fuss about?" But the shenanighans surrounding the nanosuit reboot have made me so angry I don't want to play the game anymore.

Roll on Brink!

^^Yeah I really love the game but it's the small things like this that make it a bit 'meh' and cold towards its players.

That is a terrible mistake to get rid of player's stats by using the reboot feature, it destroyes the fun of playing the game for long period of time because it makes progression useless like if you wasted your time to level 50.

What it should do is only resets your guns, ranks, modules and challenges and nothing else. It shouldn't be hard to fix. In gears of war 2 they completely changed the progression system so this shouldn't be a problem.

If you do nothing CRYTEK, your game will die pretty fast.

Sincerly.
A gamer that wishes only the best for Crysis.

I think they should leave the stat reset until they fix the multiplayer.
