The thing people forget about when comparing the nanosuits

Post » Thu Nov 11, 2010 9:40 am

I've seen many back and forth debates on which nanosuit is better, the one from the original Crysis or the one in Crysis 2, but everyone seems to forget one very big feature of the nanosuit 2: The ability to use more than one suit mode at a time!

My favorite part about the nanosuit 2 is being able to cloak, sprint, and nanovision at the same time, being able to super jump without changing to a strength mode, etc. The standard sprint speed in Crysis 1 was pathetic, and maximum speed lasted all of 2 seconds before running out. Yes, it was far faster, but I found it only to be useful in very specific situations, or just for fun (love dashing straight into a guy and knocking him down).

They're both cool suits, for sure, but don't forget how the new suit lets you stack modes.

Want a in-game example? Activate Maximum Nanosuit in multiplayer and kill the entire enemy team. What I'm getting is that the bonus is actually called Nanosuit 2.0 according to the teams announcer when you activate it. So if that can take down a crap ton of 1.5b Nanosuits (MP Suits) then I'm pretty sure it could wipe the floor with the first one in Crysis 1.

No, it couldn't. Have you even played Crysis 1?

N1 advantages-
Better armor mode (no slow, glow, drain and 100% absorption)
Longer stationary Cloak
Faster speed mode (in single player)
Nightvision
More zoom on binoculars

N2 advantages-
Modules
Nanovision
Multiple modes at once
Much faster health regeneration
Much faster energy regeneration

N2 > N1.

no N1>N2

Nanosuit 2 is not faster than N1. Even in multiplayer N1 is faster than N2. And you don't stop running when you get hit or when your energy depletes. It's like a walking 1-ton heavy, loud, shiny suit. pfft you can't even prone :P YOU can't even RUN backwards with N2! In C2 multplayer, you die faster and armor mode depletes to 0 when you die, it's like you never used armor mode. In C1 multiplayer, you can survive when your in a gun battle and escape easier. Sure N1 has some disadvantages over N2 but Overall, N1 is better to have.

C2 multiplayer isn't N2. It's N1.5

This is about suit comparisons not gameplay things that arnt really tied to the suit like proning, ledge grabbing, stealth kills, etc. Also its been tested, the N2 is actually faster than the N1s speed mode when it comes to multiplayer comparisons.

Nobody is "forgetting" anything. People just have different opinions.

I think suit 1 is vastly superior -except- for suit 2's cloaking animation. IMO suit 2's cloak is way overpowered as you can basically beat the game on Post Human Warrior mode with a silenced Nova as long as you stay in cloak.

Also, I HATE the damned hexagonal spider-web that floods my screen when I hit armor mode in suit 2. Maybe if they'd made it just fill in the corners or something, sh!t.

Using modes together > using one mode at a time. N2 would Kick N1's ass if they fought each other. Power mode ftw.

Remember that the suit in MP is actually suit 1.5/7 not 2.0 thats y theres a killstreak for suit 2.0 which makes you invisible. In campaign your not suppose to die its only for gameplay purposes. In the story 2.0 is incredible in actual gameplay the make it normal so its actual challenging. Also suit 2.0 has the ability to cure the alien disease and use it to become more powerful. Suit 2.0 and gameplay is also smoother making it easier to switch suit modes.

Hears a list of comparisons on the Nanosuit 2 and the first, and don't try and bullshot me, i'm part of the C1 community
N2
1. Interlace modules, but rapid energy consumption. Just called power mode.
2. Armor mode deflects bullets, but glows in an "look, I'ma walking target" blue.
3. Stealth this time is silent, a true predator, but much shorter. Your distorted pavement.
4. Looks beefy, more intimidating. Like the Governator, before his death threat was "i will charge you taxes!"
5. Upgradeable modules allow for a number of variables, doubling some modules lasting time.
6. This time the suit was worth a billion dollars
7. The suit is sentian. and can save peoples memory onto its very big SD card, and can siphon your feces without you knowing.
N1
1. Speed mode, need i say more? You were yellow
2. Stealth was longer, but made the most hideous buzz. You were an outline in the background.
3. Had a huge hump on the back.
4. Fists
5. You get alien cancer.
6. Strength had actually a noticeable jump, and punching didn't drain your power to zero. You were red
7. Koreans made cheap suits available in the 99 cent store by 2025
8. This suits, just a suit. Its has to come off if you want to.....
