Power Struggle?

Post » Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:39 pm

So, are we ever going to get a REAL PC game, with bigger maps, Power Struggle like games, etc?

Are we ever going to be able to ditch the tiny-azz maps and 5 minute games?

I just got through playing a 2 hour Power Struggle match. It got so intense we crashed the server :p

I look at C2 and just laugh.

Not till june, to get the SDk, then allow 2-3 month for mods beta to release, then we all switch to BF3 or mass effect 3.

If you want a real grown up game like Crysis Wars Power Struggle was, unfortunately you will have to move on to the next best thing which is Battlefield 3. :(

I'm gonna have to reinstall Wars just for Power Struggle again. :) I really miss that gamemode whenever I play a different game anymore... I find myself trying to circle jump sometimes too but I end up disappointed. :(

Be honest. Is Wars still going strong? More or less players since C2 came out? I want to reinstall but don't want to be playing a dead(ish) game.

If you haven't noticed yet C2 is pretty much CoD on nanosuit, in terms of gameplay. How well do you think power struggle would fit into a CoD? Dunno about the limits of the game, but who knows how far the modders can take it. They're the ones who could maybe turn this crippled game into some value, since crytek obviously couldn't.

I would say we've trippled out players since C2 came out. Maybe even more. It was pretty dead with maybe 10 to 15 people playing. There's about 50 on tonight. And there was over 100 on this morning. Noob Hunters Mesa was maxed at 42. We played so hard tonight we crashed the server :p

Well, in Crysis 1 and Wars, you buy your weapons with power points gotten by capturing strategic points and killing enemies. There also are no suit modules. C2 with PS will be pretty interesting. Its going to be wacky :p . The modders at CryMod are pretty good. And there are some really good programmers. People who made anti-cheat like SSM all by themselves, when Crytek just stood around with their thumb up their azz.

However, Crytek needs to get better lighting, shadows, physics, water, etc into C2 before anyone will play it. C2 players probably don't notice that stuff much right now, but they're sure going to notice it when they start playing Power Struggle. If PC players don't get graphics at least matching C1 in C2, then C2 and CE3 are ensured a quick death.

Oh dang! I'm reinstalling for sure!! :D

I will just have to wipe the rust off and I will be right back (hopefully) to where my skill level was at 6 months ago. :)

I might reinstall Far Cry also and see how they're doing. :) Anything but this C2 crap from Crytek brings out great memories. :D

Yeah, there's actually people playing C1 MP and Wars of late. C2 was a big boost to those two. People who got disgusted with C2 heard about the first one and went and bought it. Now there on Wars :p

Almost... I hope C2 dies out quickly to send an FU message to Crytek. They need to pull their multiplayer back together for Crysis 3, the first step to that being no Crytek UK involvement at all.

well they ARE releasing the editor and what-not. and besides, I'm sure some modder out there is waiting to get their hands on it so they can make a worth-while modded multiplayer game... or something :S

Hmm... Wait another 6 months and pay money for a crappy game and worthwhile mod, or just play Crysis Wars right now for free? The choice is obvious. :)

Wars is pretty active these days really. NH, BFG are almost always 20+ players. And PS is really more fun than it's C2 "equivalent" - Crash Site.

It looks like C2 MP's purpose was to revive Wars/C1...
