I'm not leaving Crysis 2, and I will be buying Crysis 3 on the release date, sure, they have issues to fix. Who doesn't??

As long as they can ram their cocks in the mouth of these problems lol they"ll be fine.

The hope fades each day when no new patch is released still. :/

I bought this on release (March 24th in Aus) and I really hope they patch MP before the community abandons it. I loved Far Cry, but never got to have a real play with Crysis 1 as that was around the time I swapped to console gaming. I can tell you this about Crysis 3 though, I will be waiting several months after release to get it, just so I don't reach the same level of frustration i did with this.

calling the MP unplayable is misinformation, i've put a good 10 hours into it and have only had game ruining lag in about two or three of my matches

It might not be unplayable to you, but I have an issue where I get Migrated from 98% of matchs I play well before they are over. I get dumped in a dupilcate game, with the same time, score and players corpses but i'm the host in an empty game, that is pretty much unplayable.

And not it's not my net (6.53down, 1.03up, should be fine for console gaming) and it is not my wireless. I've tried playing at 2 other peoples houses, my brother has wireless with Internode (Aussie ISP who host dedicated severs for their customers) and it runs the game perfectly, no lag what-so-ever. And another friend who has a wired conection has the same issue I have at home, I don't know if it is my disk, my Xbox (I doubt it, it is only barely 18 months old) or just the game it self, but that issue renders this game pretty much unplayable for me.

I still have hope though it's running low, I find it funny that one of the moderators took 5 minutes out of his day to lock one of my threads because it was in the wrong sub-forum, but he can't even take 5 minutes to say "yes, we are aware of the issues and are working on the patch". Horrible, horrible, business.

I still love the game, just want it to run at it's full potential.

Ahem....

My hope is gone for them, they are another garbage developer that won't fix anything and is very silent when it comes to fixing anything. I thought black ops had problems, this the f*cking motherload of problems. I should have followed my hunch and gameflyd the game instead

Seriously check your modem, I have a pretty mediocre connection, used to get dropouts on my net alot even though after multiple speed tests my internet appeared to be optimal for playing games, however I used to get dropped from Halo games all the time and Crysis games as well. Like you, I was like wtf, **** this imma go dance (I'm a profesional dancer btw, I'm also straight, no judgement) lol. Anyways I finally unplugged my damn ethernet cable from my 4-way modem and hooked up to the 1-way one that the cable from the wall feeds straight into (sorry I don't know the technical terms) and immediately had optimal playing, I could even play that stupid ass bf heroes game if I hooked up my laptop. Anyways point is I was biching too until I bypassed my 4-way split modem. Also your neighbors could be hogging some of your pipe, just saying.

For me it isn't any of that, I went through all my ports and even researched modems and routers to see what was going to give the support I need for extended gaming sessions. Fact is, I have never had an issue like I have with C2 with any other MP game I own on Xbox (And I have a monster collection with over 20 MP titles). And my wireless is locked, so no one is stealing my bandwidth - although I do occasionally get to steal other peoples that don't lock their own connections (Shhh - Don't tell them, that is between me you and the interwebs).

It might not be unplayable to you, but I have an issue where I get Migrated from 98% of matchs I play well before they are over. I get dumped in a dupilcate game, with the same time, score and players corpses but i'm the host in an empty game, that is pretty much unplayable.

Don't worry it's not your equipment. My setup is ideal for gaming, I'm wired to the router, and my ISP prioritises gaming.. thus my ping results are excellent. I have terrible problems with this game, to the point where the MP is unplayable. When I say unplayable, I don't mean that it won't load at all. I mean that it is not even close to being a level playing field, making playing it completely pointless... unless you're a glutton for punishment of course.

My friend is has fibre optic broadband with great pings... he never gets angry when gaming, but the lag with this game made him rage.

It's clear that in games that have matchmaking problems like this one, some people (for whatever reason) are predisposed to having a lag advantage... and some people are predisposed to have a lag disadvantage. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. That explains why there are some that can say they have little to no problems and others who have a whole list of issues. Within my circle of friends we seem to have noticed a trend that those of us with better quality internet (based on factors like ping as opposed to download speeds) seem too be effected much worse than those with lower quality internet. Either way, peer to peer hosting is a joke.

I have the opposite problem. About 50% of my games have a 4bar host and 1-2 bar everyone else. Literally about 20% of them are 4bar host - 1bar everyone else. The reason I say I have the opposite problem is because my games REFUSE to migrate hosts. I have only seen a host migration 2 times since I started playing this game and I'm level 50. I don't understand why it doesn't ever migrate.... tho my connection isn't the best host, it does better than a lot of other people's and I'm sure that a lot of other players in my games could be much better hosts than me.

Then the worst of all... I find a great game, 4bar host 3 bar everyone else. So damn rare... Then we go to intermission and not a single player leaves... yet the host changes for no reason and we're back to 4bar/1bar. Which makes it impossible to even "surf" for a good host by leaving/joining games. It's really **** stupid.

Yeh, Larry, I have only talked to 2 people so far that have the very same problem I do, thing is, I don't even get much lag while I am playing, I just can't get a game to play through to the end. Seriously, I've had this game since release and I have had 6 maybe 7 FULL games without getting migrated into my own duplicate game. That is why I lose it with some of the fanboys (but really I've been pretty calm considering I can't actually play a full game). I have NEVER, not once had anything remotely like this issue with any other MP game I own, I've even begun going back through my collection to see if it is something that has happened with my ISP recently - Nope, only Crysis 2. That is why this is beyond a joke.

Yes I do because Crytek RichW who I played with in a game stated that a patch is currently going through certification and this was last Friday.

People dont seem to have any patience at all.

I am noticing a trend that ppl with better internet connections are having more problems.. seems like the devs are trying to level the playing field and are screwing it up... not just with this game... bad lag comp is running rampant in these p2p games lately. Im not gonna lie when i get red bar in C2 i get excited cuz i know im gonna raqe lol. Anyway i stand firm that the MP in this game is secondary to the SP which i thoroughly enjoyed. I think this may be as good as it gets mind u BLOPS has the same problems for the most part and they have enough money and devs to take over the world... and i think C2 mp still gives them a run for their money. Just my thoughts.

i've stopped playing online a week ago and i don't miss it.
and no, it's not my connection. every other game works fine, nat type is open and so on.
still crytek hasn't even adressed server/matchmaking problems except or "- A range of networking improvements, including fixes to host migration" listed in the notes to that "patch" (or, joke, as i call it).

honestly, i don't see them fixing this. ever.

but even if they do, i'm gonna get only a used copy o crysis 3, if at all. crytek won't see any money from me anymore.

calling the MP unplayable is misinformation, i've put a good 10 hours into it and have only had game ruining lag in about two or three of my matches
Same Here

In the end the people who say they are not lagging, and the ones who are jumping all over the map foreverone else that or your to **** at this game to notice lag. Hit detection in this game is borderline some of the worst i've ever seen.

I understand some people are completely oblivious to the lag and problems but most other games i play (Black ops unfortunatley, and Halo reach are fine) Im not really angry or anything just kind of waiting to see what happens i fixed my modem several times but nothing so far has worked.

I think in the next few weeks this game will be dead. On top of people who have the game and are complaining, the faults of this game are spreading to potential buyers and naturally they have no interest in obtaining a copy. Bulk that in with the fact theres hardly anyone on the leaderboards (compared to other shooters), lack of forum communication, long waiting time for a patch and just generally messed up game play ,menus,stats resetting,music problems....you may aswell give this game a spade so it can bury itself.

I think in the next few weeks this game will be dead.

Very well may be on the decline if Brink proves to be a success. I know I'm waiting for it. But I'm also having a blast with Crysis 2 online, so I don't plan on getting rid of it.
