Nope. A 2007 game that no one could run properly until 2010. Not fair.
That's a terrible arguement.
You didn't need to max out Crysis at 1920 x 1080 to make it look stunning.
I can't see how anybody can deny that from an "OMG amazing graphics" point of view; Crysis 1, a 2007 game (which still looks stunning today) beats Crysis 2 hands down, regardless of mods. I think that's what the OP is ultimately getting at.
I think because Crytek set the bar so high with Crysis, people had incredibly high expectations for Crysis 2. Seemingly, too high.
No Crysis does not beat Crysis 2 unmodded. Ok fine omg the grass underlay texture has a higher resolution, but compared to unmodded Crysis 1, Crysis 2 has better lighting, particles, water, and overall image quality than Crysis 1. Crysis 1 had better physics and texture unmodded though.
Modded Crysis 1 does beat Crysis 2 hands down though.
