I've been playing multiplayer for a while now and have been trying to get into it but I can't.

Main Reason is the lag issues but its not just that its the low skill jump in FPS style they've incorporated.


I bought this game after having played the beta that it would be call of duty style gameplay with a learning curve of sorts, but its not.

Its just another Cone spraying FPS where Fully autos dominate the game.

Also the Blatently overpowered SCAR doesn't help the enjoyment for me since its the first gun you ever get in the game and thus everyone is using it, And for good reason, its the best gun in the game where six shots will drop a fully healthed fully armoured opponent.


Whats so different about this and call of duty? Its the suit, thats about it, but the suit alone wont keep me playing for months, even weeks.


After I finish a game now I feel like "meh whatever" even when I go into games with like 25 - 0 in teamdeathmatch, when I think back to it, I realise i did not enjoy that game, its weird, This isn't a bad game by any means, its just fairly average, maybe I had too high expectations not sure but the multiplayer effort is sub-par and I give a thumbs down to Free Radical, I mean Crytek UK.

Also what was the patch for? All I notice is that my Maxed out retriever perk got reset which made me rage.

Compared to Call of Duty Modern Warfare, this game has Air Stomp, which is awesome, and horrible controls (aiming sensitivity curve) in multiplayer. And it lags as hell, because the game doesn't seem to be quite good at picking up good hosts and proper players to match together.

That's pretty much the resume.

If you really need others to help point out differences to you, you might as well go and pick up any COD game since they are all essentially the same pile of crap published by Activision.

blendbassist started his trolling session I see

Well Im of the same View point actually.........

and before I would have said this was a skilled game that worked with tactical thought and had a learning curve with the armour and stealth.

And I would have been the last to say it was anything like COD.


Now I realise we still have all these awesome suit powers like air stomp, ledge grab, ability to slide and jump real high but since you seem to now die a hell of alot quicker....did they lower the health? seems like it and buff the aim assist? they definetely have!

When im free running around a map and I get hosed by a guy with a SCAR who is just blindly spraying everywhere, the only reason im anywhere near in his gun sights is because of aim assist and the fact it drops me out of sprint the second a single bullet hits me which is the equivalent of being caught with your pants down in this game.

I thought the beta just played a bit more solid and had very little aim assist which was a nice change from the usual idiotic shooters out there and you also seemed to have a bit more survivability in the beta.

Maybe its just me? but I seem to be dying a hell of alot from full auto close range no recoil spraying and double melee kills aswell as being shot in the back were before I could react and hit armour on and at least get into a contest of aim with them, now its just bang! dead straight away!


I think a nice fix would be to balance the Damage with the rate of fire on the full auto guns and the semi auto shotty so when somebody goes armour they are tougher which would encourage aiming for the head and more precise shooting as opposed to "herpa derp! Spppwayyyy everwar!"

go back to cod then. it's clearly way different from it...maps, nanosuit, abilities. sorry you can't get past fellating cod. gtfo

Yeah but what is the point in all those abilities when you die within 4 bullets and mostly due to horrible hit detection and lag within the game plus you cant perform half of them while in armour because its to slow.

Example: have you ever tried to slide kill somebody? The aim assist just drags their crosshairs onto you and they spray everywhere and you stand up and die in a laggy fashion.

Air Stomp doesnt even register a hit half the time and they just turn around and shoot you, If you try to jump over people they spray were you where and you die in mid air.

If you have armour on it only accounts for 3 extra bullets when the guns in this game have such a high damage level and such a high rate of fire that accounts for barely anything.

I Probably wouldnt mind If there was no in game lag but when people arent even aiming at me and getting kills when I try to perform a skill kill I have to ask myself why did I even attempt to bother using the Nanosuit?

The point being is when you try to use your suit against people who just pray and spray more often than not with a helping hand of in game lag and aim assist along with horrible hit detection they come out on top so its off putting to try skill kills so more often than not you just think mehhhhh I will out strafe and out shoot them next time just like what game? ohhhh thats right COD.

I'll let these videos speak for themselves.

However they forgot to account that Armor mode would of absorbed most of the impact.

Then:

Even though old, still makes some valid points.

Crysis 2 has great gameplay which is unfortunately ruined by a whole host of reset bugs and connection/lag issues. Call of Duty has no redeeming factors.

Btw I tried to kill someone with kicking a car into, LAG IS SO MUCH, that car moves 3 seconds later, by that time the dude sees me and kills me wtf... network is so bad ... come on Crytek give us a better multiplayer experience
