i dont think everyone hates it but a few things happen

no cheat system

people lose ranks weapons and more

LE dont work

servers dont always start

connection problems randomly

lack of communication from crytek staff

and some more

do we all hate it no do we deserve some kind of communication and support yes do we get that so far no.

i can understand that people are pissed some payed 60 dollar/44 euro for this game and having all kind of problems for more then a week thats bad and had to be fixed already.
The game has issues, Im not gonna lie. But all those things you listed are being worked at, they will be resolved soon. As of now they have workarounds which are stickied on this forum until they get fixed. And BTW here in EU the game cost 50 Euro, not 44, but then again we pay more for every game. So if you look past the bugs, do you still think its a bad game?

people talked about crysis warhead i checked that out and damn what a difference more destruction and such with a older engine.

we have a new engine and now only the graphics are better but thats it.

do i support ea/crytek? mmm i dont know anymore.. they need to do alot, to let the majority of the gamers get there faith back in ea/crytek

time will tell.
CryEngine 3 is not less powerful then CryEngine 2, its rather the opposite. Its just that the developers chose to downscale physics and stuff to make it compatible with consoles. I cant say I like this, but I understand why they did it. PC just doesnt sell as good as consoles do. I would have done the same thing if I were in their shoes. When they release Sandbox we will be able to make Crysis 1 maps in Crysis 2, with the same amount of physics, same scale. Hell, it might even be possible to simply convert Crysis 1 maps to Crysis 2 maps.

And lastly, dont blame Crytek, blame EA, they're the ones rushing an unfinished product out.

Hell, the discussions in this forum are crazy
Well, the problem is that Crytek has built up huge expectations with Crysis 1. It was technically a step towards the future, so PC gamers like me had the expectation that Crysis 2 would be the next big bang in graphics. They've chosen to develop cross-platform, so it wasn't. It is just confusing that a sequel looks worse than it's predecessor, because we live in a world of constantly advancing technology, we're not used to a situation like this.

Does this make the game bad? No.

It has lots of good things to mention, once you've dried your tears about the fact that it's just a cheap console port and the MP is broken. Before the release I thought "NY svcks, city is lame" and I didn't like the idea. But I just bought it, because I needed some fresh action, and that was exactly what I got. I pretty much enjoyed the campaign and I had much more fun than in Crysis 1 - this is the weird part. The new nanosuit feeling is great, the weapons have a nice handling. Yes, you have less space to walk around - BUT you still have lots of choices how to play, and this is a real strength of the game. Don't want to fight those annoying bastards? Just cloak yourself and pass 'em. Go in, and do it the hard way? There are nice mounted heavy machine guns to take (I love them, they're badass :3 )

But all the flamers are right in some way - I didn't manage to join a single MP server. Not a single one. So, for me it's completely broken. (Patch #1 already applied) For that much cash this is really bad. Next bad thing is the missing feedback from Crytek about patches. They should prove eggs and say something like "We're working on patch version X.XX but it takes around 3 weeks.". Textures ... hell, why didn't you guys just put hires textures in there? I bet you have created hires versions while developing and then lowered their resolution. If not, you did something *really* wrong. The look of the game is still nice and I enjoyed some places like the Grand Central Station, but don't look closer to .. anything, or you start crying. Some textures look like in World of Warcraft *puke*

Story is really american-style overdrawn patriotic hollywood .. stuff .. a little bit ridiculous, but who cares, focus is on action and kickin' alien asses, what the game does very well. So, I hope they fix MP and deliver a PC patch to make the game better fit that platform. D-X-****-11, baby

But the first playthrough is a bit ruined now, it was fun, but not as cinematic as it could have been. :/

**LONG POST AHEAD**

I have to agree with alot of the problems with the game..
Crysis was one of those games that i enjoyed but came to late and didnt buy Crysis 1 or Warhead day 1 but more like month 8.

The story in junction with the first 2 games is terrible!
Sorry but you cant expect to feed people **** and tell them its candy and not expect some pissed of people. They should have either made the story continue from the previous games or make it a seperate story but based in the same universe and have nods to the originals. Not a half and half mess like it has.
The story has huge holes in it and doesnt even try to make up for it. They wanted to make it so people that will be new to the series will not be lost but what they have done is mess up the story for people that are not new in Crysis 2 and hearing from a friend make the story in the second one really hard and confusing leaving people with tons of questions about what half the flashbacks are about.

The diffrence in gameplay though from Crysis 1 to 2 is huge and very obvious to PC players such as lack of driving/vehicle sections and how herded you feel into linear corridor sections.
OK forgive the change in scenery due to console restrictions i can live with the City landscape but that isnt the annoying part.
They took the freedom part of the game and made that linear aswell. Those Tactical options are laid out for you! The game is designed for people to be told how to approach sistuations which is stupid. It doesnt leave you any freedom at all.

Think about it how many times have you played sections and found yourself doing what the games tells you to do for example kicking that car obviously left on a ledge above an enemy and then going to that large 1- Snipe marker in your tactcial vision instead of making new and interesting approaches? Or when you come across 2 guys and it makes a point to leave a silenced pistol lying on the ground prompting you to pick it up and use it.... Yeah Thought so!!

If you really think about it the game is designed to make you do things certain ways, most games are such as slow motion interactive cutscenes and things like objectives. But even Crysis 1 wasnt this bad.

I dont really mind the game that much and the gameplay is fluid as you are playing. Keeping that in mind the Bugs/problems with the game make that point mute as even though it plays well when things work most of the time for alot of people its broken. Im not going to list every bug etc go look in the forums as im sure lots of people have posted about them.

Graphics wise its a good looking game dont get me wrong but isnt as good as it could be on PC's.. i think the reason this gets some people so angry is why settle for anything less than what can be acheived or what has peviously been achevied in Crysis 1.
We understand that it made the jump to consoles and that is the reason alot of the game is the way it is on the PC there is no denying that. Im not calling it a port outright but you cant say that the PC release isnt severely affected by its console cross-eyed imbred cousins.
Hopefully the Dx11 patch *for the love of god let there be one soon* will fix some peoples tempers about the looks of the game. I would be happier with the game as it is but with better textures and physics, and yes i do have a Dx11 setup.

The multiplayer is not original!! Anyone that says that about any recent game is wrong as nearly all games in the mainstream take aspects from others. That said it plays well when you get a session in which there is no bugs (once again im not listing them all) or cheaters. There is also some balance issues in my opinion but its a new game so thats not an issue.
The Nanosuits incorperation is a nice one and i like the familiar feeling of COD with a Crytek twist. You cant blame them for taking hints from the most succesful MP games in the last 5 years.
As far as the map sizes and diffrence from Crysis 1 MP and the new one it really doesnt bother me. They made it diffrent that doesnt always mean bad.

Overall this game is a let down currently. If they made it a brilliant game on the consoles so much so that it was outselling tons of others then fine i could live with it. But the fact that all my friends on 360 have not bought the game even tho they were made aware of it. Its not beating any charts down anywhere makes me think they compromised what made the game good to make the game meh over all platforms.

Was expecting a bit better from Crytek after liking the first 2 and im sure alot of people wil lfeel diffrent but this is my opinion that doesnt make it better than anyone elses.
Wont be buying a day 1 purchase again from Crytek sorry to say. Was hoping this game would be better than the previous titles but at its current state i just dont belive that it is. That said i wish them the best and hope that with the higher sales they get from the console market they show appreciation to the Pc fans and make the next one better.

I cheered for lack of driving to be honest.... at least in Crysis 2. 1 's mechanics worked "ok" for cars and boats (which wont be in NYC, Im pretty sure), but tanks and planes... HOLY ****!!! Look, I've NEVER heard of a tank skidding out.... Crysis 1 made them miserable to use because they DID... regularly... and dont get me started on that damn carrier you drive at the end of Crysis 1.... SEVERAL times that almost made me quit....

So to see less vehicles with this past, I was HAPPY.... now that I see you are basically unarmed (which makes more sense since you cant be in the turrent and behind the wheel physically at the same time) while driving in Crysis 2, I will cheer louder. This is a shooter... being unarmed svcks.

All patches have to go through an approval process. They have to be verified that they work and its not easy to do this. You can not honestly think that this can be done overnight. It takes time and given its Crytek they want it to be good and stable.

Well, the game obviously didn't go through QA for the final build (there's no way some of those bugs made it through).

Very good game! Some bugs here and there but still a very good game. Only a dev team that are loving what are doing is capable to make a game like this, so I really believe they are not happy with all this bugs and are working really hard to fix it.

Crytek team, thanks for this game! I already finished it two times. Don′t listen the haters. You must be proud of your creation. Thanks again!

How this game was released in it's current state baffles me. I mean, wow. I can't remember the last time a big name company released a game with so many obvious and downright ridiculous glitches.

Losing XP? Check.
Losing perks? Check.
Connection issues? Check.
Log-in issues? Check.
Cheaters online? Check
Music loop errors that were in the demo (and reported on this site numerous times), but have yet to be fixed? Check.

And I'm not even taking into account the SP or asking for DX11. I'm just asking for MP that actually works! Don't worry though, I've learned my lesson. You're never getting my money at launch again Crytek.

bichy fan who clearly forgot how little anyone even wanted to touch multiplayer the first time around? check

going to get flamed for saying it like it is, especially as this person probably wants to say "well Crysis 1..." and blab on in a wall of text no one cares about? check!

My friends and I didn't buy this game for the SP, we bought it for the MP because we were impressed with the demo. I don't care about Crysis 1, that's in the past. What I care about is spending my cash on a game that is clearly broken at the moment.

You say that few people wanted to touch the MP, yet you seem to forget that MP is all the rage these days. You are blind if you think otherwise. Or do I have to bring up Call of Duty? It's a different time and a different market, are you really that idiotic to understand that times have changed?

Most of the promo vids for this game were OF the MP. They were heavily promoting the MP aspect of this game, and regardless if a few or many people were interested in the MP, the fact of the matter is that they advertised the product handily, and that product is extremely broken atm/infested with cheaters and has yet to be fixed.

I find it hilarious that you qualify valid complaints as being bichy. I dare you to say that any of the things that I listed are untrue. But wait, you can't.

I'm convinced that anyone who considers this a worthy crysis sequel are just too young to know better.

I mean how could you live through the 90's as a PC gamer and not see how pathetic the current state of the gaming industry is. Crysis2 might not be the worst offender, but it's clearly part of the problem.

It's about to reach critical mass, though. I mean the same thing happened in the music and movie "businesses"

Whenever an art-form turns to a cash-cow, quality takes a back-seat to quantity and marketing hype. But the sheep eventually wake up and realize their being served garbage and a revolution happens.

I think gaming is about to hit one of these points. It can't get much **** before even the clueless console tards start noticing the quality going down.

Not a very good game.
