However, the story mode is not the bread and butter of the game. The multiplayer is. I too experienced many of the horrible and game crippling errors that prevented having any fun in multiplayer. This week the Crytech team fixed a lot of them, or at least posted work around. (The most annoying for me was the unlocking dog tags and equipment glitch, but the fix is pretty easy and now it all works.) Getting in to multiplayer can be tough. I've spent a lot of games dieing four or five times in a row and qqing hard. The real gem of multiplayer though is its complete opposition to other fpses. Most modern fpses focus on accuracy and killing fast. In Crysis 2 the game is about fire fights. You're a Nanosuit operator, not some flimsy cardboard pansy. Firefights last and both sides can take hits before dieing. Though the weapon selection is a little lacking, it's still an incredible game. Just today I played Extraction and went 15/0 over the two rounds. I was brought to almost dead multiple times, but with some quick reflections and suit function swapping continued on. Though the game is glitchy, and it may not ever be the successor we wanted to see, the multiplayer is a true gem among fpses, especially computer ones.
TL;DR Crysis 2's multiplayer is incredible and we can't continue to judge the game based on its lack of caliber to Crysis. Crysis multiplayer svcked, pick one or the other and deal with it.
