In the two days since Crysis 2 has been released, I have played several dozen, frustration-filled matches. In that time I have not once, NOT ONCE, had a ping over two yellow bars. That is PATHETIC. The online code in this game is some of the worst I have ever seen.
Pulling the trigger has never felt more irrelevant in a gunfight. Killing in this game is a matter of chance.
Sometimes I can take a guy out in one burst to his unarmored head. Other times, I can empty a clip into his unarmored face without even phasing him.
Sometimes I can take a guy who's armored up out with a few bursts. Other times, I can hit him with a grenade and unload a clip into him with no effect.
My K/D is 1.6. It's fine. Skill is not the issue. I know how to play the game. The problem is that the game is frustrating and unsatisfying because I never feel as though I'm in control of the outcome. If I kill a guy, I feel lucky. If I die, I feel unlucky.
Fix the online code. Fix the hit-detection, and for **** say do it fast before Crysis 2 goes from a contender in the FPS space to an afterthought.
