So, who likes this game?

The game looks great, is fun to play, and the multiplayer is satisfying. It's far from the buggiest release I've played, but the AI problems, server browser and multiplayer issues, and lack of meaningful graphics options detract from the experience. All those cons will eventually be fixed, though, and when that happens it'll be like a koala crapped a rainbow in my brain.

I can't really write a review as I have yet to be able to play it through due to bugs and all, but during the short time I played Singleplayer and Multiplayer (Demo), I really enjoyed this game. I wish it had DX11, but I bet they will patch that in later or face the horrid wrath of the PC gamers, but even without DX11, it still looks good. I just need it to work now D:

I like it very very much regards to all issue (i've had only one ), this game is good, i must say much better than 1 crysis and all "modern" fps if u know what i mean ;), this few bugs i believe will be fixed in short time, single campaign is juicy it reminds me Prototype and the sentence "Be a weapon" is very accurate imo. But the biggest cherry on the cake is multiplayer with good ideas for fun. So yes this is very well placed 50 euro. Keep up good work Crytek team :)

Can anyone explain what the levels of the ARMR/PWR/STLTH are for on the dog tags?

Single Player blew me away. I had too many goosebump moments. I can't wait for Crysis 3 and hopefully a movie will be made down the road cuz if they did a movie, it'd be BADASS in 3D. Imagine yourself in the nanosuit :D

I like the game. There is some stuff that does piss me off though.

Aside from ranking up, you level up your different suit modules separately. You'll unlock stuff for your suit in the same way you unlock stuff for your weapons. It's pretty cool, actually.

Does the ranking up of the different aspects of your suit (pwr/stlth/armr) make those attributes better in the future?

Meh, it's nothing special.... I honestly don't find it looking much better the Halflife 2 when that came out. It feels clunky, fuzzy, innacurate, there's some bizarre lightning effects. I got a high end gaming rig that runs pretty much everything on max settings, however Crysis 2 is giving me the infamous xfire/SLI flickering bug so maybe once they patch that, there will be some graphical improvements.

The gameplay itself is extremely linear, and there little to no destructible environment. Aiming and getting hit seems to be off the mark too, and the AI doesnt seem too intelligent (they just stand there and shoot at you - I saw little to no flanking or hiding behind cover)
Textures such as a cash register on a desk or a PC are very poorly drawn, and are infact what reminded me of Halflife 2's textures.

The point I'm trying to make is, the game itself isn't terrible, it'd be ok if it was a standalone title.
But the hype that surrounded it due to the roaring success and innovation from it's predecessor, I expected the "next big thing" from Crytek. It's certainly not the new boundary-setter what I expected after the thrills of Crysis 1 and Crysis: Warhead, and I can't see this game ever being used as a benchmark.

And it really does feel like a console port, I'm not seeing that sharpness in the graphics, that "something" that defines a high-end game that uses high-end hardware.
I'm not a console hater, but this is not a PC game, and it certainly is not worth it's name.
