ok i know this is a bit of a small thing - but still...
2D geometry is being used throughout crysis to save on memory...
best example is on map sanctuary - look at the church roof

I hope we get POM with the DX11 patch ^^

Maybe because it's, um, multiplayer? Anyways i hope DX11 does something...

How do you explain Crysis 1 then? Even without mods, I was playing maps in multiplayer with little 2D geometry. The only thing in Crysis 1 that was 2D were the particle effects (activate stereo-3D mode to see what I mean).

At least your not being picky......

Console I guess.

Its also in Singleplayer

Didnt crysis 1 do this in DX9?
Just wait for the DX11 patch that they announced to come out. IF it's still there, then we have a problem.

That is disappointing. I play on xbox and I come to the PC forums to check out whats going and this shouldn't happen. 2D geometry is and should only be for consoles. Damn shame. Crysis 1, who did you have six with to make this terrible looking baby? Crysis 2 is like your fat friend who happens to be one of your best friends and is a girl. Shes ugly, fat, but having fun isnt annoying like trying to go have fun with some stuck up barbie.<----My point is Crysis 2 has gameplay but doesn't carry the Crytek "break everything with amazingness" name. Well that turned into a strange ramble........

ppl are giving crytek too much credit for optimization. But in reality low rez textures and flat geometry improves the framerate

No benchmarking site is using crysis 2........game is epic graphics fail. HDR =/= good graphics

Agreed. If you turn off r_hdr and r_bloom in this game, the game looks piss poor.

This should all change when dx11 features are released, at the moment it looks good for dx9. If you turn off hdr in crysis 1 it looked pretty pooey too you know -_-
