I actually have come to these forums on a sad note as DCOM Productions has officially pulled pulled our Servers from Crysis 2. I had a daily moderated, cheat free server for a short time on Crysis 2 that always filled up and had some regular players in the very beginning, but now short lived. I used to be a huge advocate of Crysis and Crysis Warhead because of the CryENGINE, the unique gameplay and story, and the community support. However, with the seeming flop of Crysis 2 in the PC community, we have decided to pull our support for Crysis 2, as it is actually not even in the same ballpark as Crysis or Crysis Wars in regards to physics, gameplay (Singleplayer and Multiplayer), and features. Looking back at Crysis and Crysis Warhead (see video links below), the difference between Crysis and Crysis 2 is like a Grand Canyon. Still supporters of Crytek and the amazing work on the CryENGINE, its a sad step to pull support from Crysis 2, but Crysis 2 is not the ideal of an amazing game that we supported like Crysis and Crysis Warhead.
I have seen this time and time again with any game development company that decides to target console gaming coming from the PC world. It's usually a flop that results in a loss of a customer base from PC users (which mind you, is also almost 3x as large as your console customer base XBox/PS3 combined). I wish Crytek the best in their endeavors and maybe one day we will bring our support back.

I wish best regards to the Crytek community, and to the loyal fans out there who were disappointed in Crysis 2, hang in there! Crytek is an amazing company, and I'm sure that we will see some great things in the future.
