Just got this evening, First impressions

Post » Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:55 am

So I picked the game up this evening. Liked the Single Player for the most part, the graphics have quite a few issue’s in spots but they still look nice.

Multiplayer is different I’ll say that much. I’m not real sure on the whole Nano Suit yet still trying to figure out if stealth should really be in the Multiplayer. I’m not real sure. You can see them up close but 90 percent of the time I couldn’t. I’m not sure if it was because every lobby gave me 2 bar connection or not or what. Just not real sure on the stealth. An it regenerates so quickly. I see the basic point. Use the stealth as you move around, don’t deplete your energy, activate armor when you see enemy ect.. Over and Over. I’m just trying to figure out if the whole game is going to be based on that concept, stealth, armor, stealth, armor, stealth, armor. I’m not saying anything negative about the game. I really can’t I haven’t played it long enough to even have that right.

Just saying if it is the whole stealth , armor, stealth , armor situation. I’m not real sure if I’m for that. Yea the suit should have a part in MP since its such a big deal in the game. Just don’t think the entire multiplayer should revolve around it. it’s a first person shooter. Not a suit wearing and shooter . Just seems there is a awful lot of emphasis on the suit in the multiplayer to really enjoy shooting. I’m sure I just need more time with it, possibly better connection lobbies and what not. Just tossing out my first impression if anyone really cared to read it :) You all enjoy your night, or day, whatever it is wherever you are :)

EDIT* It also seems like they need to zoom in on the map in the bottom right corner of the screen just a bit, Maybe set that whole thing up a tage bit better, I mean its not horrible or anything, just seems like its alittle small. The window for it is fine in size just the images inside it are a tad small In my opinion. Anyone know of a way you can zoom that bad boy in a bit?

Oh also on the 5th match in, I joined a lobby, it loaded game, then as it was about to go to the actual starting of the game, I got a black screen, Froze my PS3 up completely, I couldn’t' even soft reset, I literally had to Hard Reset the PS3 using the switch in the back, This really irritates me, I can't stand resets of the ps3. I can deal with soft reset here an there but Hard resets. Grrrrrrr!

I know what you're saying about the stealth. When I first saw this in a YouTube video, before I bought the game, it kind of made me hesitate. I bought the game, anyhow.

I thought that it was going to be something like Killzone 3, where the cloak would be in a class of some sort. Just having the stealth, and armor as basic things on your suit is all right, though. I mean, it does get annoying, getting killed by something that you didn't see, but at the same time, you can't blame it on the class the person was using, and the fact that you can use it whenever you would like to makes it a little easier to understand.

All in all, I think that this game is great. I think that once people get the stealth, and armor thing down, the cloak shouldn't be much of a problem.

Actually you just summed up perfectly how 90% of the population plays Crysis 2, lol. I honestly wish the armour would be completely removed from the game. There's no need for it if everyone is going to use it every single time they come across an enemy.

And if you always have 2 bars I'm surprised you don't hate the MP with a passion.

The same could be said about Marathon+Lightweight+Commando or OMA tubing. If something is overpowered, it has to be balanced. It doesn't matter if everyone can use it, that's not what makes something balanced.

Point is that the suit IS the game. If you want a standard FPS game then play Black Ops os some other straight up military game like Bad Company 2. Games like Cyrsis are different because of what they give to the game. In this case, the suit. In the case of KZ3 it is the Helghast and ISA and the completely different feel of environment and control.

Every game has it's own gimmick. In this one it is the suit, so to take it away would be pointless. You play this game online because of the fact that everyone has the suit and you have to adjust your FPS strategy to cope with it. You have to force yourself to play differently and therefore it becomes a different game and gives you a different type of satisfaction from the gameplay... because of the suit.

Yea, I'm not saying anything negative about he suit and its armor/stealth. I like it in the game I suppose. I just think their should be more of a limit on the use of it. The Shooting of a FPS should not rely solely around 2 things, armor stealth. Obviously anyone that plays the game can adapt and get used to it, doesn’t mean they have to agree with everything. Who says someone can’t disagree with a function of part of a game and not like it? I still enjoy the game its fun, I just think too much focus is on the suit in multiplayer. Yes its different than most FPS’ers I get that, I like that. Just stating in my OPINION that there is too much emphasis on the armor/stealth aspect of the suit in multiplayer.

That is all :)

Played some more today, realized the lag is horrible. As far as the shoot out thing goes, yea its lag. I was having crap games all day, Then finally it gave me host, I owned everyone like it wasn't even funny barely breaking even all day long, get host and go 35 and 2. I really think their is something wrong with their match making system too. For some reason every lobby or game your in, The host is always full everyone else is 1 or 2 bar connection while maybe 2 other people get 3 bar connections. So obviously it cant be matching people up correctly for this to be in every single lobby.

A really irritating thing to me is the fact you can’t hear enemy gunfire, what’s up with that? Your getting shot for a minute but no sound to relate where its coming from. (yea I know look at the map for the red dot), either way sound should be there. I think if they put a little more work into the matchmaking system it would do a great deal of good. I can’t believe I don’t have host every time like I always do in P2P. Just the one time and it was awesome owning everyone. Yet I still feel as it is really unfair especially when they are matching the worse people possible with the host, just makes the host advantage stand out like no other.

Other than that I question if the nano suit should have such a huge influence and impact in the multiplayer. I mean I like the function’s of it integrated into the MP, just seems ridiculous if your lagging seconds behind stuff, you never see that stealth person when they get close , lagging. Any who I like the game I really do just question the matchmaking, the huge emphasis on the nano suit capabilities in the MP and that pretty much all right now. Still good game I like it. Just needs a little fine tuning. :)
