Just so you know I have a 3.1 K/D before we get started..
Right so I go into a Game and I was bored of Running and Gunning with the Feline so I try out some skill based weapons like the DSG and Grendel, And it felt such a chore using these, this is normal because they require more focus and aim but, the problem is that, There is no Reward for using these.
What I mean is there is No notable advantage to make you want to use these even though they require more skill to use, Theres no kill time advantage since the Scar does the same damage as the grendel ( yeah, I know right? ), And the snipers are only advantagous when used at long range and get the first shot.
Coupled with the Lag/Hit detection issues it makes these guns even more of a chore to use and if anything, are a disadvantage to use and feel as if they're a "lol" gun used for humiliation.
And this is the reason why it's just another call of duty, It's a Run and Gun talored Game where other styles of play, although are taken into account, are at a disadvantage.
There is no progression in skill, theres not a "step up" in skill. It's Insta win gameplay where you have the easiest and most effective way right from the start.
It seems that Crytek focused more on Visual beauty rather than the gameplay or rather the multiplayer was a hollow job in my opinion where they've just lifted a Call of Duty system and implemented Crysis style features on top.
It's kinda hard to explain but, even when I do extremely well like 24 - 0, after the game I feel like " bleh whatever ", It's not a bad multiplayer by any means, it's just, meh.
I Really loved the Campaign though, Its one of the best campaign experiences I've ever had in my gaming lifetime 5 Stars on that.
I'm just really dissapointed, I was expecting a skill based Multiplayer, something that I havnt seen in a new release in years, its boring very quickly and lacks depth.
