Crysis 2 multiplayer is realy not that bad!

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:13 am

I didn't think I would like it but the multiplayer isn't that bad. There is no other game that gives you as many game modes & options. The individual modes have their own merrits but to be able to play from classic to pro modifiers is quite nice. Some servers are better than others but for the most part I like the game. I think everyone dose. Why else would there be so much activity on these forums. Good gaming to ya!

I agree. It's just connection issues with a lot of people because the servers are getting overloaded and Crytek has a lot of things to fix right now at the moment. Essentially, I wanted Crysis 2 just for SP. Never cared about MP in Crysis before. But the MP is actually pretty sweet.

The only issue now is, even if MP is working well for you, then you might run into hackers, which SUUUUUCKSSSS :/

i'll 2. that, when it works, it works, and makes one of the best MP experinces i have had for a long time... however, it does not work very offen wich is sad, as i see ppl running out of patience, my self included..

Hopeing for a fix soon... before next weekend, seems like the game could have been delayed a month or two for some polish...

SP is a blast tho, and as stated above, MP is aswell when it works.

I agree, but hackers and pirates are a huge problem. Multiplayer doesn't even check serial key so pirates have full access to all servers. What ****.

And if you think that's not a big problem or say sth like "all fps games have hackers and pirates", look at games like BFBC2. No pirates have access to multiplayer, and punkbuster+private servers with competent mods and large communities prevent most hackers.

Why don't these companies ever learn?

The level up system means that those who are high ranks have better equipment, which means they can get more kills and higher ranks. Crytek created a self-fulfilling prophesy there where if you play against higher level people, you're having a rock battle at the bottom of a well.

The maps are small and claustrophobic. Sniping isn't an option like the last game and the lack of vehicles saddens me. In fact, the exclusion of any vehicular combat is just pathetic since that's what made Crysis great.

The servers are buggy as all hell. I've only found two I've been able to connect with consistently.

Already I've started to meet hackers (You'd think Crytek would have learned from Crysis 1... when I meet someone who can shoot me in the foot and gets a headshot each time, I know there's something up). Don't even start to say I'm wrong to lay that accusation at their feet, I'm a programmer and the whole idea they've consistently had loopholes exploited is sad. If it means giving us less control in the editor, so be it.

The game modes are limited. You're basically choosing from Capture the Flag, Team Battle, or an ugly monstrosity of a free for all. The one where it's Crysis Suits vs. CELL is pathetic. The second the Crysis Suit team gets a kill they get decent weaponry, which means suddenly they have both the suit *AND* really good weapons. Whoever thought up the game mode needs to be fired and fast.

I know the multiplayer is bad when after playing it for a while I'm left with a sense of disappointment and that I've wasted my time. In the first one I generally left feeling rather happy, even if I lost, seeing as how I enjoyed myself at least and learned something new tactically.



The Single Player I was disappointed in personally. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it wasn't great. I mean, the first one (both Warhead and regular) you just sat there and went "WOAH!". In this one... eh, it all feels like more of the same. "OK you guy in the suit, go into this base, either infiltrate or shoot up these aliens/humans, and get out". There wasn't really anything spectacular like the train mission in Warhead, the tank mission in Crysis, the part where you had the VTOL fire support in Warhead, etc.


Overall, to me, this entire game is a bust. I would have done better pirating it than paying almost 60 dollars for crap.

The first Crysis/Warhead multiplayer is still much better!

I was disapointed there are no vehicles. I was trying to look on the bright side. All the MW2 lovers must really love this game. Seeing they stole the kill streak awards & the fact the armour is useless. Run & gun is the trend unfortunately. These are the things that made me feel I wasn't going to like it. I'm sure when the campers find their spots my view will change again but for now I'm surprised that I like it.

If you played the first Crysis there was a hugh issue with hackers being under the map. So Crytek put water under the maps. Then the hackers were somewhere in the sky. Not to mention the guys that would fly around in the choppers & kill everything that moved while they were invinsable. Not to mention the anti-air tank would blow itself up when you tryed to use it. The memories!! Tear in my eye. lol
