Guys i had been playing crysis 2 for some time. Though i am hugely disappointed with the graphics, but i have made a very interesting observation about it.I donot know if this only happens with my pc.Only people who are playing crysis 2 can see this hidden graphics enhancement.Ok so in order to see it first fire up crysis 2 single player.Then stand at a particular position on the map.Look at the ground or trees.Now switch to armour mode.Now if you notice carefully for a brief second before the armour mode activates the graphics looks very sharp.Then as soon as armour mode fully activates it again switches back to its blurry state.As if in that brief period the textures become super sharp.To obseve this mysterious thing more closely look at a tree or ground then activate armour mode.

When you sprint, the screen flashes in blue, just like when you activate Strength mode in Crysis 1.

there not hidden graphics lol its just an effect to tell you you used armor mode

yeah its like some sort of texture sharpening effect

I have a strong feeling if DX11 patch is released.The game will start looking similar to the way it looks in that few second.

And even sharper than that in Armor mode?

Or maybe DX11 will just be a tick mark patch.Crytex has intentionally locked the maximum setting and will unlock it after a so called dx11 patch.They managed to block that maximum setting in every way possible but in that fraction of a second before the armor mode activates it gives us a sneak peak at the ultra setting.Becoz if you look at building when activating armor mode you will notice how much better it looks in that few seconds.

I thought actually that the blur/haze is an effect to make Crysis 2 APPEAR to have Anti-Aliasing. It's essentially a "cheaper
method to free up GPU cycles. It could have been Bulletstorm that did that though, I don't recall. I read something about it somewhere.

quit smoking that sh*t

Here are two pictures, one regular and one taken in the transition to armor mode. Decide for yourself.

Couldn't you just force AA through NVidia control pane or EnHancer (dunno the equivalent for ATI)? Anyone here with a supercomputer even bothered to try that instead of relying on in game settings?

This has been discussed before,

TRUTH: There is a sharpening filter being applied to your entire view, Crysis 1 had the same option (for developers) in the Sandbox editor. It has NOTHING to do with 'hidden options', anti-aliasing or the textures.

@xxbacon That is exactly what i am talking about.It looks much much better.

Are you just going to ignore my post that disproves your myopic nonsense?

He will, since that doesn't put the blame back on Cryteks shoulders...
