lol "Apologists" ;)

So what do people think about DX11 patch then?

I more than welcome it, it's only a positive thing, can't see any bad coming from it. I reckon after this update, Crysis 2 will be the best looking FPS currently to date, IMO.

Yeah I suppose, but I think it's a smart move from the programming department, I mean finding and fixing bugs....no one knows how long this can take, bits of code may even need to be re-written, and in a AAA title, that is **** loads of code, even with 50 odd programmers.

With Dx11, that is something they know how to do, and can get it out to us in not too much time.

From Crytek's point of view, it is there best sort of "please the crowd while we fix other stuff" device, they will be hoping form this update, that the community will be admiring the new DX11 grahpics, which will give Crytek a few days bug fixing so when people come back after DX11 patch asking where the other fixes and patches are, they might be able to say "here you go".

IMO that is their plan :P

I prefer to gain a better perspective of things before i rush to forum proclaiming the rapture, been on enough boards to see the same thing over and over and over again, threads about getting money back, threads of hate, threads of I WANT I WANT I WANT...happens to EVERY major release and the games stay popular within their domains.

For example, coming from a background of Arma 2 and IL-2 (for all their flaws, my favorite games of all time..Crytek should consider it an honor to tear me away from those two for so long), Crysis 2's problems are so excruciatingly minor that trying to get my head around those who claim its the worst thing since...whatever you dream up for all i care, is next to impossible. The game runs relatively fine, has a good story, better paced and doesn't have you sprinting through endless forest just to take out a comms tower (albeit a very pretty forest).

It just feels more like a game, one where i will actually go and read up on the Crysis "Universe" like i do with other Sci-fi games like Halo, Gears, Killzone, MGS (yes, i'm very limited on my sim only approach to PC gaming...Crysis is a mere exception). It has depth

Glad to hear you like the game.

I was playing crysis 1 the other day (as EA gave me a copy free due to the pre order) and found that cr2 is exreamly updated for a DX9 game over cr1 and also the controls are much better also lighting to and management of the suit is usable in the scene Q and E for fast switching between cloak and armor as I never used lean in the first place ONLY for dancing over a dead body that took alot to kill =) IMO DX11 will trump any game coming for AT least 2 years or more. yea there is a few bugs that need to be put to rest but with all games with a high Caliber you will have that. All I want from crytek is a better surport with modding cr2 to open the city up a great deal with a VTOL flying through central park in a 20v20 1 km sq mp or heli or tanks

tbh I don't why they didn't in the first place, I mean most pc gamers could support it, my guess would be they ran out of time, would explain a lot.

i love crysis 2, the campaign is a masterpiece, with a lot of replay value

the MP is also fantastic, although the hackers problems during the last weeks have made it dull but, with the new patches, hackers a very rare now, i only wished that the nanosuits had more health, so you could even react when they attack you.

haha anyone spot that? how is it that 2 different posters are signed fuzz lol?

hmm anyway dx11 will just be cosmetic. better, but only cosmetic. I am trying to like the game but i cant, after playing the original Crysis i cant help but be dissapoint by the consoley gameplay of Crysis 2.

I wish the graphics could be better but hey at least they gave us the game, and for me the campaign was one of the best I have ever played. Thanks Crytek for a great campaign because I can't really find good ones now a days.

I'm actually holding off playing the game till we get it :) Played the first hour a few times but I'd hate to have moved on before we see the full glory of Crysis 2. Hopefuly they include some better textures but I fear that the physics are gone for good.

Indeed, that is quite a loss and rather detrimental to immersion. This is a non raging thread by the way so I suggest you adjust your tone and CAPS usage.

As is, you're confirming my "raging apologist" observation while adding a flair of childish condescendance to it.

It isn't a loss or a loss to immersion. It goes without saying. That's why I'm mocking you. It also doesn't add to any argument about me being "apologistic" to Crytek. Your perception is blinded by your own agenda. I'm just simply mocking your stupidity.
