I only recently got Crysis 2 about a month ago, since I was looking for a new FPS to play. Cod had become unplayable in it's brokeness, and Halo had simply become boring after a while. After playing Crysis 2 for the first time, my mind was blown. Great graphics, cool energy-suit (nanosuit) system, and awesome guns.

Needless to say, as I went on multiplayer, I was equally pleased with the performance of the game. No super overpowered weapons like in COD, and few (not none) spawning issues. It had the baseline experience of Halo, where one had limited firearms and had to choose for the exact situation at hand. The speed of combat was that of COD, intense and quick. But the health and player technique was that of Halo- with all sorts of powers and different things the player could do to help turn the tide, other than his weapon.

I was, still am, thrilled with the game. The only thing I hate to death is the DSG, simply because I svck at sniping. Which is why I was amazed as I came onto the site for the first time to see 95% of topics/comments pertaining to how terribly unbalanced or broken the game was. Internet problems, weapon inefficiency, bullet lag, etc....

My NAT Type is Moderate, which as many know, isn't the best connection to have. In fact, joining other Xbox Live parties is even a hassle. That doesn't stop me from having a 2. 68 K/D, though. (Yes, not as high as 3, but I don't play to win) I've never had actual LAG in a game where my bullet detection was delayed- or even missed. Every game I play my bullets either hit of just miss because my recoil builds up too much.

I've never seen the "grain" issue, but that's probably because I never play singleplayer twice, and that's where I've heard it's at.

So people, lay down your guns of hatred and appreciate Crysis 2 for what it is- a unique, innovative turn in the FPS series. Is it perfect? No. By no means. There are still minor frustrations throughout multiplayer, such as the "Bump-lose-energy" scenario, or the melee-damage counter. But they're fixing it- they're fixing everything they can to make the experience better.

Just thought I'd help remind people of a better time when they may've appreciated Crysis for everything it WAS, and not everything it WASN'T.

I like it.

finally someone who uses the gray matter in his head! thank you sir for not being an ignorant kid, that blames the game for his own lack of skill!

I agree with this post 100%

Crysis 2 is about as unique and innovative as the spork. It took two games and merged them together.

I'm not really saying it's not enjoyable or that it's an awful pile of trash... Just saying it's not either unique or innovative.

Me too i LOVE this game !!!!!!! I hope there is Crysis 3 soon

The game itself is amazing, the gfx are arguably the best. Campaign is memorable. Multiplayer.. meh...

You seem to get matched with good hosts if you don't experience any hit detection failure. Not everyone will suffer form the same issues so just consider yourself lucky that your experience is great. I wish mine was. Not that I am lacking skill because I usually MVP all the games I play, that being said I am far from being issue free. I suffer form terrible hit detection lag nad getting disconnected form games repeatedly. I have cablevision IO internet I get speeds of 20mbps down and 5mbps up which is more than enough to play online on 2 or more counsels at a time so it is not my connection.

I agree the game is beastly and much needed change of pace form other FPS. It is far form unique yet a mixture of other games to bring one great package. That being said it's not without issues. Lets be honest here.

Which two games? Sure it has classes, perks and killstreaks, but thats where the comparison between crysis and whatever games you have in mind ends. Classes killstreaks and even the modules do not determine what a game plays like. It gives the game more depth.

Yeah, it's not just a mix between COD and Halo. As the above said, it does mix familiar elements between the two- but the Nanosuit defines the game, fittingly. By utilizing the nanosuit so that it's customizable to nearly every style of play, no two players are exactly the same in what they do and how they use it.

This game is unique in the fact that it's taken hints of other FPS's and thrown it all into this wonderful blender called Crysis- creating a unique baseline experience with familiar elements that new players (to the series, not to FPSs) can relate to, while still maintaining the franchise favorites.

MP is fun but too oftn the lag is horrible. I have a wired connection which works extremely well on all other games but in this game it seems the worse your connection the better it is for you.

i agree =) in my eyes the only problem is the servers but the gameplay makes up for it to me. with cod you just felt like if someone shoots you in the back you're pretty much dead but with crysis you can turn on armor mode, sprint away or try to go invisable. if you're a good player you can counter most things the enemy throws at you and if you're a bad you'll just complain about lag and that they should've died when its proberly just because they outskilled you i do miss the big open battles of the first game but crysis 2 has a range of clever maps and very intense gameplay overall my favourite multiplayer game since the first crysis
