Some food for thought "MP" (fair read)

Post » Tue Aug 18, 2009 12:22 am

Well to start I love this game and I don't like biching, okay maybe a little since I probably do it about seventy times a day.

Most things in this games MP I can understand, but sometimes when I play I don't understand. Today for instance I seen an enemy from the opposing team, running on "Pier 17" running cloaked behind some windows of glass at the mall on second floor. I watched him and lined up the shot,waiting for him to come around the corner. I start firing when he came around (GET THIS!)....after he's been running.. with cloak on....(I KNOW RIGHT?!) I'm firing at him with maximum armor on and he still beats me when my energy was at 70%. I thought to myself... come on really. (Yes I had fully upgrade armor enhance III. Plus cloak tracker III on too, which blows and often doesn't work)

My misunderstanding is that after he's been running being cloaked and then coming out even if he starts firing first and it comes down to that shootout...(which it did!) there should be no possible way for him to win, he would have suit energy low or none at all. I can lose that's fine but when its because of BS that's when.... I'm like wtf?

Secondly having friends that I like to play with, and watching the "learderboards" I recently added a new friend or (what I thought to be a cool) friend, he was like a level 23. One day he came online for about an hour and when he got off. I checked the leaderboards he was now a 44!. Knowing that he boosted to get there because he has no skill and cheats. I sent him a message saying I don't play with boosters, he then has the nerve to tell me, I'm bad and a cry baby because he passed me.

Different occasions going into matches for "Capture the Relay" and hearing the voice loop over, and over, and over. I ran in there shot all those kids and sent the guy that was boosting a message that simply read, "pathetic". I mean come on some of us we would like to enjoy the game, not watch you piss on it and bring shame to the game, with your attempt at achievement whoring, boosting and just generally f**king up multi-player because your a little b*itch.

Ahhhh that feels better.

Now I don't know if from the first story the reason I got killed was because of game mechanics or lag. But to me no energy vs armor.. well wtf? Second Crytek should ban boosters.

MAXIMUM RAGE............ gone :)

Your first issue sounds a lot like lag or hit detection issues. I've had similar situations (although none as extreme as that) where I've started shooting first with armour on only to find myself on the floor. Now I know my aim isn't bad as I had my sights trained on the opponents the whole time, so I would assume latency issues (which I know are common in Crysis 2 so far) or the hitboxes are off.

As for the boosting, I haven't played enough of the multiplayer to have seen it yet, although from past experience in games like COD, I know this to be very annoying. At the end of the day, the way I look at it is that they simply are not good enough on their own to level up well and simply need help to do so. In the end, you'll still have no probs beating them when it comes to an out-and-out firefight

Why are you reposting the same story several times?

@Axemaniac88
I agree with the first paragraph but not the second. If they boost they gain access to weapons earlier then they deserve to or have worked for thefore now giving them the same playing field with equipment the players at higher level use to do well, that they have earned.

By doing this you will still yes conquer them but not as hard, as when everything is unlocked. I like pure competition. Not cheaters, hackers, modders, glitchers, boosters, and little children. Purely competitive and legit.

See what I'm saying. Shame to the game.
