Wardice, you're not exactly right.
Does this game really push the limits? That was how Crytek advertised it

I don't think he's talking about this game. He's talking about the engine.

Which makes his line of prattle even more out-of-touch. I bought a game expecting a complete product, not a phantom of things to come, wrapped in corporate intrigue.

Ofc that we know what they did, or what they didn't do. If you can't see that then you lack ability to interpret surrounding you world and common sense.

Crytek HAD a legacy to protect and a decent reputation. In my eyes they blew it with breathless propaganda. They didn't deliver on what they said C2 would be.

Ha, word!

And to you! It's good to see other people who know what it means to an empowered consumer.

Hey, I don't go praising Crytek, yeah, they did mess this game up pretty bad... but that doesn't mean the engine's messed up. I too spent money on this game... but the mods make it up big time.

See, people are asking for mod tools for BF3 but that is unlikely since FB2.0 is too heavy. I even thought Crytek wouldn't even release the SDK, but that didn't happen and I'm happy.

Unless the mod tools allow huge MP maps with bigger teams, there is no way C2 can be saved.

It's fun, but only in the same way CoD is fun; it's a fast-paced tiny box shooter. It sacrificed performance and gameplay for aesthetics imo.

Well from my experience i can't really say anything bad about Crysis 2, i did enjoy long and intense SP, fantastic graphic, rich and intense destroyed NY environment, and many moire things. But i didn't have any Catalyst bug, various AI bugs, nor even game crashes, and even my MP despite fact that i did had slight problem with saving unlock is working very nice. The only think which is annoying me are those almost not existing anit-cheat futures.

For sure some people were having or still have problems with game, maybe because of game itself or maybe because of some external problems like software/hardware. I am sure for one thing, i am almost each day playing MP or even SP and i will keep doing it because i did had and still have great experience with Crysis 2.

Cheers.
man did you played Crysis and Warhead yourself? did you completed both?

I've never said that the engine was a problem, because in fact I wouldn't know if it was. I have no interest in modding, nor do I use mods.

Wardice, you're not exactly right.

I don't think he's talking about this game. He's talking about the engine.
I was talking about engine and game itself.

Wardice, you're not exactly right.

It isn't? I see many things with surpassed many thing which we can now observe in FPS games like, engine, graphic, music, AI, gameplay. Honestly last time i was so amazed only by HL2, Crysis 1 had great graphic and only this one thing, gameplay was boring as fck.

The engine does NOT limit the PC..

Say what? Engine limit PC in many various ways, depend on how engine is coded some things in PC can't be used with engine, or depend on engine abilities many PC won't be even able to run graphic which engine can create.

This is your point of view, not a fact. C2 blow away any FPS game right now available, sure they could do few things better but still this is best FPS available and thats a fact.

It's our responsibility as consumers to let a company know if the product they produce is not what we expected based on their marketing or if its simply not good for any reason in our opinion.
It's your right where you can choose to do or not to do, not responsibility.

Your argument is obsurd in that we should just accept whatever we get when we buy something just becuase we bought it.
I never said that.
I said that it's in customer interest to be aware, to understand what company is doing with product or how it is developed AND then decide to buy or not. I was aware of what we can get in the day of release, and i did choose to buy this game, for me it was great decision, but if i wasn't happy from game then it is my problem not someone else fault.

man did you played Crysis and Warhead yourself? did you completed both?
Yes i did and your point is?

i found the answer in your upper replies =)
u found it boring so we just have too different points of view on FPS

cheers =)

So, let me get this straight, MY point of view is "not a fact", but yours is? That is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing I've heard today. There's another aspect of going outside that may benefit you, and that's fresh air.

I totally agree.

So they didn't fail at graphic, just on way how they were developing game, and this is not even a fact, just your point of view, since obviously game have better graphic than any game right now available, even Crysis 1 look worse on Very High settings in many ways.

PS: And ffs Crysis 2 it's not a port Jesus, you clearly don't have clue how this game was developed, so let me tell you in most easy way possible. First of all there never was C2 coded ONLY for console and then ported to PC, from beginning C2 was coded at same time for all three platforms. It's like having one terminal connected to PC, PS3 and XBOX360 at same time. And developers in same time were writing code for all three platforms, so there never was a freaking port, since from beginning ONE GAME could work on any out of three platforms.
For game to be a port you need first create game exclusively for console and then change source code (port it) so game could work on PC. And C2 never was created only for console =.="

Well, yes, you said it and the Cry guys stated the same in multiple interviews: it was coded for all three platforms at the same time and it delivers the same stuff to all of them. Are those three platforms the same in terms of technical capabilities? No, but they wanted all three versions to be same, from Xbox 360 (the weakest link) to high end PCs. Is this so different from a nvde and crude console port? No, or maybe yes, because the end result is quite like playing a console game on a PC emulator. After all, most emulators apply some general resolution/effects enhancements.
Funny thing, developers also complicated their lives a lot, because working with a Capcom style engine (which starts from the PC and then scales down to consoles. Too bad Capcom doesn't release many PC games...) would have made things easier and better, especially since CryEngine 2 was PC native.
One last word about 3D, which, according to Cevat "maybe I need to hire a real PR" Yerli, had to be one of the pivotal elements in Crysis 2: Playstation 3 has its own 3D support, PC has 3D Vision, Xbox has none (no matter what a couple of micro(soft) guys said a year ago. They were insulting 3D, by the way). So what did they do? They invented a software-based "fake" 3D which looks buggy at the very least (on the PC, but how many console users do have a 4000 EUR 3D TV?).
No hate, this game has potential, but it could have been much better and much less buggy if Crytek had focused on each platform individually. Heck, they own 3 or four studios around the globe!

Pretty damn nice post. I feel like an idiot after buying crysis 2.

I did single player in like 4 hours and I am done with it.

Multiplayer... has a different story ...

- First days cheaters pissed me off damn bad, leading me to stop playing instead of QQ in chat window and looking for a vote to kick button which yet I have not found it (Even patch 1.4)

- After patch 1.4 I Saw less cheaters...but I am tired of fooling around in a small map and sitting on my ass next to a drop pod...Where are all those tanks, HUM VEE's, choppers, hover crafts????

IMO crysis2 has been failed. unless you crytek do a miracle and update the game with a free DLC with loads of stuff...Big maps and gameplay like crysis wars with DIRECTX 11 ...

To be honest tho, the campaign got boring as soon as prophet shot himself and this Alcatraz guy comes out of nowhere.

And I quickly...no, instantly, lost interest in multiplayer when I ran into 5 consecutive servers with aimbot fly hackers everywhere.

=D
i made my day man =DDD

It's quiet horrible how the marketing was made on this game...like any other game.
When you want informations about a game you are waiting for you make a google request frequently to get a video like "pre-purchase the game, it's so awesome". It's like this around 3 month before launch...
Next medias are making the advertising... they test the game only on X360 or PS3 and they give very good marks for the game...all of them.
Next thing you do is buying or pre-purchase to get a discount...and next you get ****.

Media testers never test the game on multiplayer, they never test it on PC and oftently svck the cock of EA and Activision.

Now a really basic rule: never pre-order a game. Wait an entire month before making your decision...

I have never seen developers with such narcissism and incompetence to fix bugs. Crytek...you really svck and post launch.
You don't know how to communicate with your ex-fans and you don't understand what we are telling you. Don't even try to sell us a DLC before dx11 is out, and you fixed connectivity problems.

Let me quote something for you...
"In my eyes they blew it with breathless propaganda."

In your eyes, in your personal opinion, which means what your are saying is truth in your own mind, and it doesn't have anything to do with actual "facts".
