are these fake games

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:06 am

I have the game on 360, but i was told by friends that the PC is where the game can be played flawlessly.
so I found many copys on ebay but they all say "xcept online play is not available. Manual is not included"

are they fake or made for countries without online support ?

The first link says 'email me with questions'. So email him.

It may be that online is not available because the product key has been used.

Failing that, you could always just wait for the steam sale this week. It's an EA sale all week, Crysis day is almost certainly going to come up.

I doubt we'll see 50%. If it does come up I think it'd be optimistic to get 25% off, but 25% off is still a decent price cut.

It would also be a good time to pick up Crysis and warhead if you don't already have them. A friend of mine got both for £5 each in one of steam's sales.

Don't forget to check your local retailers if you want to get the first Crysis games. I found the triple pack of Crysis games at one of the retailers in Austria (similar to the American Best Buy) for €20 in an "EA Greatest Hits" box. Quite the bargain and got me hooked onto the series late last year.

While I'd normally agree with you, I've never seen anyone best Steam's sales without buying the disc pre-owned.

Crysis 1, Warhead and Wars come in a triple pack on steam for £24, which I would estimate will be 70-90% off in the next sale they're involved in. Probably this week, as it's 'EA week'.

Tbh, I'm hoping they choose this week to give BF 2142 its Steam debut; as there will likely also be a 'Battlefield day'

The PC version is the worse of all the platforms. the console ones are the better ones with the PS3 one being the best one. your friends are either PC fanboys or (sorry to say) idiots.

In what way is the PC version worse? Other than the hackers and problems with logging in to multiplayer?

The in game visuals are better than both consoles, and the gameplay is no different.

Dang man~! The game is awesome i have no issues running the game at all.. Only problem that i have is a bunch of hackers that EA or Crytek will deal with. They ruined the game for a lot of us They don't even update any of us as to what there doing to combat this issue!! Heck they have not even updated us on anything;;;

well you mentioned a HUGE one already which are the hackers. and yes the visuals are better, but at what cost? The PC version still has TONS of graphical glitches. i am still randomly falling through the map on the pc version. Also because it is a PC version there is no advanced graphical setting. The visuals between the consoles and the PC in crysis 2 are not very different.

That does it man. You're just an idiot. Every game is best on PC. Console port or not...it's still best played on PC.

By saying the console version is better you clearly haven't played it. I've played it extensively on my friend's XBOX 360 and it looks terrible. Not in the sense of graphics themselves, but resolution. Worse than your average console title. The jaggies and lack of AA are just an eyesore while the actual image quality is just a blurry mess. (I'm sure the console version is better. It must be fantastic running at 1182 x 720 locked at 30 FPS.)

And yes the graphics aren't significantly better on PC, but we did get some things:

Global Illumination. Console version fakes it. It's all real-time on PC.
Anti-aliasing.
SSAO and other post-processing.
Far better water dynamics and more vertices.

Saying there is no difference is just lying.

Sandy Man, you are out of your mind. Saying the console version is better because the PC doesn't have advanced graphics options is ridiculous. In fact, saying the console versions are better than the PC version at all is ridiculous.

The mere fact that I can run @ 1920x1080 makes it better. The fact I have a more stable framerate (even at so high a resolution) makes it better. The fact it's got more advanced effects (as described by a fellow poster above) makes it better. Perhaps above all else: the fact I can control it with a keyboard and mouse makes it better.

The game may have flaws and hackers in MP do svck, but the PC is still the definitive platform by a fair margin.

Not to mention the gameplay difference in MP. I general stink on console FPSs, but I went in and got a six kill streak immediately on the 360, having only played it on PC. I was still trying to learn the controls while doing it. I also watched my friend (a very experienced 360 player) play it, and people general play worse on the 360 live version. They walk right past cloaked people, and generally can't aim as fast.

Keyboard (or keypad, n52 FTW!) + mouse = better than consoles. Period.
