Hi Crytek, i want to thank u guys for this great game! Its unbelievable how good it is! Im enjoyed the Singleplayer and have now +10 hours fun of playing the great multiplayer! i hope we seen some new Maps or gametypes in further dlc! The Controlls with the PAD is like playing with a mouse on PC. Very good work!

Buy ps3 version and whine

A lot of whiners here; like in every game-forum
Im playing the PS3 Version!

Also playing on the PS3 and loving it.
I usually stick to the PC for shooters (kb+m just feels more natural for it to me, but then I'm old... in my day, the mega drive only had one shooter, and it was pants), but wanted this on the big TV.
Got utterly destroyed in multi, but then I'm just terribad like that (damn twitchy kids with their bunny hoppin' and their duckin' an' a divin'...).

Would appreciate a little more freedom in customising the controller layout though.

Yes, console control customisation has always been an issue, normally the best you can hope for is a few different configurations although i have had a few experiences where you were able to set your own control setup.

im also loving it the game rocks!

never had my machine freeze, no lag what so ever and only lost connection to 1 game out of about 150.
im sure the majority just whine about things for the sake of it

big up to crytek great game

I've never quite understood why all games don't have the Tekken option; hold the button down, cycle through the action options, release to set.
I'm no programmer, but surely that wouldn't be worlds of work more than putting in half a dozen variations on the same theme?

You would think so wouldn't you mate, i believe its more of an engine issue rather than a game issue. Most small development companys will use a already existing game engine and or technology and build their game around that, the problem arises when the licensing comes into play.

There are various types of license available and varying prices to match, a lot of the time the extended license, usually the one that allows for extensive modification of the engine comes in at a heavy monetary cost to the developers wanting to use the engine and is not a viable solution, nor is coding their own engine due to time constraints and budgets and often pressure from the publishers to get the game out there on the date predetermined by them.

For an example just look at how many recent games are still using the Unreal engine without heavy custom work done to it, the reason is licensing issues.

Many independent and freelance developers are choosing open source engines or engines with much smaller licensing fee's as the fee's for the more well known engines and indeed easier to work with engines are just to high.

So having said that, adding such functionality to games such as custom control config is easier said than done and not somthing a lot of companys will consider purely due to the expense factor. If of course they have the rights to modify the engine in such a way then they should of course add this functionality as it is not hard to incorporate as you have stated.

So i see no reason why this functionality was not added to Crysis 2 as they own the the engine used for its development. Crytek might have missed a track there, but i feel the control scheme works well given the complexity of the game.

This is a great game by far.. I'm just having connection and glitch issues like everyone else.. I don't think where actually complaining about the game itself but rather the Crytec Engine to run this game. If were all going out and spending 60 bucks on a game it better well be lag and glitch free IMO.. This isn't the 1st gen Nintendo system were we had to blow in the game to make it work. Technology is much better today and we should not have issues..

Yeah I agree, fantastic shooter, fantastic fun Amazed they managed to get it to run on the PS3's hardware considering the great graphics and the amount of things going on at any one time, might get it on the PC when I finally get my G73 gaming laptop with Sandy Bridge, crank it up to 1920X1080 and then see how it looks in 52 inchs!

One crash so far in SP and none in MP, heaps of fun too in MP looks fantastic and runs smooth so no technical issues yet.

Great to read a positive thread on here. So much ridiculous ranting elsewhere on the forum. Must be one of two things (if not both): little kids who saved up all their coins and thus have exceedingly high expectations; or folks who are getting pwned in MP looking to vent frustration at their own lameness. Good shooter, case closed.
