For all of you complaining about never buying DLC. Good for you. It's 2011, not 1993. Free DLC is gone. And it's never coming back except in Valve games. So your loss. You could maybe spend the $10 and have several additional hours of fun, or you can sit around here and bich like a little baby.

Obviously, some DLC is more worth it than others (ie...BC2 Vietnam for $15), but complaining about it not being free is useless. The company isn't required to give you DLC. IF they took the time to make it, they have the right to charge for it.

I have the exact same problem. I cannot download dlc from inside the game. Is there a different way to download from outside the game?

Only the games are listed on there, there is no DLC listed to purchase.

I have already tried looking for the DLC at this link. The DLC does not show up in the store. You can only purchase the full game at the store at the link you provided above. There is an issue where people are able to purchase the DLC but cannot download it from within the game. In that case, if their purchase of the transaction goes through, then yes, going to the link above and clicking on transaction history will show the DLC and you can externally download it there and then copy the zip file to your game directory.

However, my problem is different in that I cannot purchase the game as the purchasing system saysthat I do not have any payment options attached to my account. However I do have a credit card setup to my account. No matter what I try, the purchasing system within the game keeps telling me that I don't have any payment options setup. That being the case, the link above is no good to me because I have no history of purchacing the DLC since the system WONT let me purchase it.

Does anyone have another link that I can download the dlc from manually?

I can see that it's awesome.

And it's not coming back. We live in a capitalist society. It's already proven that people pay for DLC. A company would have to be stupid not to sell it as well.

Wow man, you're stupid lol XD First off, Crysis 2 is NOT a console port, only stupid idiots with ignorance like you think that. It's already been proven how it's not a console port. But I'll explain to you anyways since your so damn ignorant and stupid. When this game was made on CryEngine 3, it was made with the PC and consoles in mind. For EVERY PLATFORM it was built ground up. There are no ports on the CryEngine 3. The game was made on all platforms with the limitations and restrictions being based off the weakest factor (in this case, the weakest factor was the weak hardware of conosles). Once the game is done and set, then development splits. Console versions are polished a bit, packed, and shipped. PC version is then further worked on. All PC specific features are put in and then the game ships for that. But see, EA wanted Crytek to simultaneously release Crysis 2 on all platforms on March 2011. Crytek didn't control the release date. Originally EA wanted Crysis 2 out in the holidays but they pushed it to give more development time to the not-ready-yet Crysis 2 and to let Medal of Honor have a chance at sales. March 2011 came and Crysis 2 was EA's game to sell that month. Crytek had no choice but to release the game, and thus that is why there were so many problems and misplaced texts and etc. BUT, now the PC specific features have been added through patches and stuff. So as the game stands as it is today....well that's how it was originally meant to be released. Now you may be thinking "DERP, BUT CRYSIS 1 HAD ALL TEH TIME IN DA WORLD," but that was because Crytek was not a major developer for EA. Now they are.

Now that I have proven how this game isn't a console port, it's time to explain to you and your stupidity the stance of DLC today. Crytek made DLC...okay....and this DLC for Crysis 2 is paid DLC. But see, EA is the one who wanted there to be paid DLC, NOT CRYTEK. The publisher wanted this. DLC today that costs money is all because of the publisher, NOT the developer. So if you are going to cry about paid DLC, don't blame Crytek, blame EA. EA is the one that wanted the paid DLC so that they get more money. The same thing is with Activision, Capcom, and EVEN Sony. Supporting paid DLC is NOT supporting console ports/console games. Paid DLC has creeped it's way into BOTH the console and PC market. Supporting paid DLC is simply supporting the greedy publishers and giving them a reason to keep giving out more paid DLC. I oppose paid DLC. I hate it. But I can't blame the developers if the publishers are the ones who wanted the paid DLC.

Get your facts right, get your head straight, and get rid of your ignorance. There's no shame in admitting you are wrong because the more you stand beside false facts, the more foolish and stupid you look.

No offence but your stupidity is offensive in some country's.

So what do you call developing something that is restricted to consoles also for PC? Multyplatform? Maby if you are too stupid to actually see how this effects the developing. You wont call it a port, but in reality it has the exact same effect as a port. If you fail to see why people actually call it a console port then you need to stay at the Xbox forum.

I guess thats why Valve must be ''so stupid'' they are actually brilliant in regards on how to treat their consumers. I guess thats why they are one of the most profitable AND respected developers of all time as well. Hmmmmmmmm..........

But that's Valve. They do everything differently. And they're not even near the most profitable. They work with a passion to make great games. They aren't pushed around by some publisher like EA or Activision that have the ultimate goal of getting more money.

And don't act like Valve doesn't do stupid **** too. Go to TF2 and open the custmoization menu. They sell virtual hats and boots for $4.99+ each.

thats just petty cosmetic crap that ultimately doesn't change anything. And don't get me started on publishers, they're the main reason crysis 2 turned out as it did.

Yep, I tried that last night. I spent a good 2 hours trying various things including the above link. I used ccleaner to delete my cache and cookies from all my browsers. My primary browser is Firefox but ever since I upgraded to firefox5 I've had some issues logging into the forum without deleting the cookies, etc.. I even tried using Internet Explorer using the above suggestions from that link.

Nothing seems to work. One thing I have not tried is leaving my credit card info attached to my profile overnight. typically I only add my credit card info to the website long enough to complete the transacation, then I remove it. Do you think there might be some syncing issues between the in-game purchase and the gamesas website? That being said as soon as I stopped trying to purchase the DLC I removed my credit card info.

Any other suggestions?

dirt 2 valve games,battlefield and lost planet had free dlc...

I will never buy paid map packs period. Hardly anyone plays them. I've seen it time and time again starting with BF2 Booster Packs.

The following link is Crysis 2 player stats over a period of a few days at 30 minute intervals. Most players seen playing DLC maps was 25.

MoH Hotzone, another paid DLC that has no players anymore. http://mohstats.com

BF3 will be no different.

BF3 DLC will be on a much larger scale than CoD or C2. 4x 64 player maps with classic re-playability and items from bf2 beat out 5 maps of SP content with a gun that svcked in C1 and a useless smoke grenade.

Crysis 2 maps are clearly made for lightning rounds, unlike BF2/3 maps which are almost games in themselves.

yeah. support Crytek.

and we got the perfekt server with ALL DLC-maps including the old maps! you are welcome!

and at the right price, with a reasonable amount of content, bf3 dlc maps just might work. knowing EA, they'll probably only release 1-2 maps per dlc, the price, however, I cannot predict.

We just wanna know the names of those that have the DLC so we can join up and play. That's the purpose of this thread. Trolls can gtfo and let us continue with getting to know who has it. We don't really care about the ones that don't nor why you don't buy it. Yeah, I wish it was free too, but it is what it is. We just wanna promote the DLC so we have more players to play with.

true words geronimo1

ps: if you want to, you can add me in game!

Actually I buy Crysis 2 after they decide to release the Engine/SDK in August. Although that could change down the road, but by far this is the most well established engine that's going to be available for free. Compare to UDK that you only get the game module part, it's actually better to support CryTEK so there are more competition, which might at the end lower the cost of any future indie game dev.

Back to this topic, no, I won't buy DLC anymore, same reason to many other mentioned before, it separate and isolate buyers, and in a way punish those who bought them. I do know how many hours of work have to put into making them, but to me it's not a good way to push your game. I mean approach like Valve did is way much better. People willing to pay for DLC is because they appreciate what developers put efforts into support their customers, but if only 5% of your customer buying it, why not release the map for free and let them decide if it's worth the price tag? Make some shiny armor outfit that doesn't impact game play, but still can brag about that I purchase this to show my support to dev. In the end CryTEK could get more out of it. If TF2 is sustainable even transition into Free 2 Play, why not every other "DLC" map packs? We can already spot a trend that fewer and fewer gamer actually pay to buy dlc, console or pc alike.

Even Halo or Gears have to make those dlc map for free after a while so people come back and play them. For those annuals ware we saw, dlc doesn't even worth buying, before you get to know the map, the next game is out, and there will probably like 3 Day 1 DLCs waiting for you. I don't care if free dlc come back or not, I just don't think it's a valid way to earn money and treat your customers. It's like buying a VIP seat for a 3 on 3 football game.

Dice has said that their DLC will be at the level of BFBC2 Vietnam.

Blackop and other trolls kindly GTFO....I am trying to keep this thread legit and for ppl who support crytek and bought DLC to post here, so that everybody can add them. Sandbox 3 is coming out tomorrow, you will have plenty of free dlc them.

Dont like the thread and still cant control you urge to troll, go make another raging thread

Paid DLC's hasn't worked for them yet. BF2 had 2 booster packs and an expansion, bf2142 had one booster pack, bc2 had one expansion pack and moh had one map pack. All have very low to no players compared to the stock versions of the game.

Stats for Game: BC2 PC
-- Total Servers = 6,122
-- Stock Servers = 5,453 (25,321 players)
-- Vietnam Servers = 669 (1,352 players)

Stats for Game: BC2 XBox360
-- Total Servers = 3,238
-- Stock Servers = 2,816 (19,186 players)
-- Vietnam Servers = 422 (1,241 players)

Stats for Game: BC2 PS3
-- Total Servers = 3,470
-- Stock Servers = 3,075 (21,450 players)
-- Vietnam Servers = 395 (947 players)

That's quite the gap from stock to Vietnam. Even COD MW2 and Black Ops suffers low player counts for the paid map packs.

BF3 Back to Karkand will only have more because it's free with pre-order. Lets see how well it goes when other paid content gets released.

This morning, during an investor call, EA announced that Battlefield 3 will have three times as much DLC (DownLoadable Content)than it's predecessor, Bad Company 2. Bad Company 2's most notable DLC was the Vietnam pack released in late 2010.

Once again you fail to understand what ''trolling'' is.

I as well as other users here are simply stating their opinions in a non-flaming matter. Do I support Crytek for making some very poor choices? Nope. Am I allowed to give my opinion on the matter? I sure am. And by the way, I bought DLC#2, mainly out of boredom. I'd also like to add I don't support Craptivision and their crap DLC.

in that case I will add u ingame and play with u
