Questions about final release of Crysis 2 - NO HATE post

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:35 am

Hello People/Crytek

1. What will be the final system requirements for Crysis 2? The demo runs amazingly well on my system - AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE 3.4GHz Quad, Single ATI 5770 1GB DDR5 , 2GB DDR2 and Windows XP DX9. I can max out this game at 1920x1080 hardcoe setting (28-40 FPS) which is pretty playable with very mild drop in FPS. If I turn down the resolution to 1280x768 hardcoe (45-55 FPS) it runs bad ass and I don't mind the little washed up look. So the best setting is 1920x1080 Advanced (40-50 FPS) setting is pretty cool. No drop in FPS, runs beautifully. Am I safe and sound (including Single Player) when the original is released on 22nd March?? Can my system handle this game on DX11 if I upgrade the RAM to 4GB DDR3 and Windows 7?

2. How many weapons are in the original game? Does it come with rocket launchers, variety of pistols, assault rifles and sub-machine guns? I am bored of using the same SCAR and other default weapons. Do the maps allow vehicular combat?

3. Will Crytek provide pre-loading options for people with slow internet connection? I have a 768Kbps DSL connection and it takes days to download 14 GB of data so it won't be possible for me to play the game on the release date.

4. What kind of Anti-Cheat system will Crytek ship with the original game? Yesterday, the european servers (Especially German) were full of hackers.

Please reply. Thanks.

1: the minimum specs are posted in a sticky, I'd say if you can run the demo well you are all set for the final game

2: the exact final number of weapons in uncertain....you know things can very well change from the beta. But I can tell you that rocket launchers are in and shotguns, sniper rifles.... as well as more esoteric weapons like microwave cannons and the like. Also each weaponcan be upgraded so it feels and works differently. This is for campaign tho I'm not sure MP has the full range of weapons. Vehicles? So far the answer seemsto be no but honestly you do not need vehicles to have good matches

3: Steam often allows preloading...where did you preorder your game from?

4: Crytek confirmed they will have anti cheat measures in place they did not say whichones tho.

29 weapons. And the MIKE is the only "esoteric" weapon, unless you still find railguns sci-fi.

I pre-ordered it from EA Store India (EA Download Manager) for 20 dollar = 999 Ru.

29 weapons!!! With attachments it would be bombass. Hope we get to play all these weapons in MP.

1: the minimum specs are posted in a sticky, I'd say if you can run the demo well you are all set for the final game

Hope it stays the same. I see in Steam - Video Card: NVidia 8800GT with 512Mb RAM or better, ATI 3850HD (SUBJECT TO CHANGE) with 512Mb RAM or better... That 'SUBJECT TO CHANGE' worried me.

Thanks for the replies yall!!! Can't wait for the full game. This game rocks!!!

You can see the weapons in the stats list in the demo. They're all in multiplayer.

I was happy to learn that they didn't abandon the Gauss Rifle in single player or multiplayer. Although it is not as cool as it was in the first game.

I'm pretty sure there will be vehicles, they have an award called road kill, what else could that mean.

Running a GTX 315 512MB @ 1280 x 768 on Gamer settings with a framerate of 20-25. Playable, but laggy. You'll be fine; my GPU is ****.

You're gonna make me look through all the official MP trailers until I find the one with the player kicking a car into someone, aren't you.

Ah, here we are. 0:50.

uh....note that the "multiplayer" achievement have a "multiplayer" note next to them

the one achievement in Crysis 2 that involves vehicles is "speeding ticket" whic is obviously a SP achievement given the context

Kicking a car into someone and killing them will help you get the "fastball" achievement
