I've seen alot of negativity on the forum regarding Crysis 2. I'm still experiencing some bugs and problems with multiplayer not tracking info and not registering my LE bonuses, so yeah, I have some complaints, but I don't understand where alot of the criticism of the graphics and gameplay is coming from. So what I would like to know, what shooters are you comparing to Crysis 2 when you say it doesn't look good and isn't a good game? Since Crysis and Crysis Warhead, some of the bigger shooters I've played have been modern warfare 1 and 2, Medal of Honor, Homefront, Metro 2033, Bad Company 2, and the god awful Black Ops, all titles with similar styles and play to Crysis 2, and Crysis 2 looks and plays better than these games. For reference I've played all these titles recently on a Phenom x4 965, 8 gb 1600 mhz ram, and a gtx 570. Yes, the 3 dx11 titles I mentioned do have better environmental shadows, but overall, Crysis 2 still has more environmental detail and a more impressive scale. I'll admit, I do miss the very open jungles of Crysis, but most of Crysis 2's firefights are still vastly more open than the other shooters I mentioned, and can be tackled in more ways.
So am I missing some amazing shooter that came out recently? What exactly are people comparing to Crysis 2 that prompts such a response?
I also agree, partly though.
The Graphics and functionality of this game is good. I was actually surprised that I can play this game so well on my Laptop which only has a Core 2 Duo T5800 and a 9600M GPU.
Now the one main thing that I do not agree with is that you added in Bad Company 2 to the style of Game Play that this game and the others on the list have. That is not true in my opinion. The main reason I do not continue to play those other games you listed is because of the style of game play they have. Bad Company 2 is different from them. It may not feel like a true BF game in its game play, but it is different from the other games you listed.
You also said that Crysis 2 is vastly more open than the other shooters you listed. Sadly that is also not true when comparing it to Bad Company 2. Bad Company 2 has a more open environment. That is one of the main things that makes it have a different style of game play from the others.
I can not speak for the Metro 2033 game. I did not play that game.
Metro 2033 is very inconsistent at times the visuals are absolutely amazing, but at other times the quality bar drops somehow.
Metro 2033 probably doesn't get much better than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg_RcB91x2o
