mw2, bc2, and now black ops all shiped out chalk full of bugs and had to be fixed (or will be fixed) via a patch. Crytek, I implore you not to let this happen for crysis 2. Thanks!

I miss the days when a game was released, it was released, and the developers couldn't touch it afterwards. (unless of course they were willing to make a completely new storyline and call it an "expansion pack")

Games have code that is magnitudes more complex these days. Millions of lines of code instead of just thousands.

There are too many variables these days. At the base though, Crysis 2 will be better thanks to Live Create in terms of compatibility issues (since none of the versions will actually be ports, thankfully), but there are still just too many variables for developers to account for when releasing a new title.

Ya know, if developers test the builds before they release *cough*beta*cough* then they can avoid the most glaring bugs and errors.

I have no doubt Crytek will do their absolute best to ensure that Crysis 2 is the best it can be upon release. That being said, it's impossible to foresee every single bug that may occur and this is the nature of the beast when talking about the PC platform. There are millions of combinations of hardware and software and as such, chances of an issue arising.

On a personal note, i'm very impressed with Treyarch's swift response to the lag issue in BlackOps and playing the game today proved much more enjoyable after the patch.

And as early as December, they should already begin testing Crysis 2 for Pc platforms. So at that point, there's a fighting chance against bugs.
