Is ANYONE Playing the New Mappack?!

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:55 am

I bought the new mappack and the maps are decent, but the main issue i have is i can't get into anygames anymore. I don't want to play team instant action (where i assume everyone is playing), i want to play objective based games. I was able to play crash site the first two days the map pack was out and ever since i haven't had the fortune of amassing a complete lobby of players.

I am waiting for the next patch to come out before I even consider getting the map pack. Just my 2 cents.

Exact same issue here, this is ridiculous, I have managed to be patient with the whole one player in the lobby has full connection and the rest have 1-2 occasionally 3 bar connection, but this takes the fcuking biscuit, pay £10 for a map pack that dosent even find players, and im pretty damn sure the majority have this pack now.

I love this game but theres so much crap to deal with in MP, think i might go start a fresh campaign and clear up any achievements on there until Crytek FINALLY decide to fix MP. : /

From what I heard plus gameplay videos I seen I decided not to purchase the map pack because the maps same to be fairly large while I prefer more fast paced run and gun type games. That's probably why my favorite maps are Terminal and Skyline.

This is true, you would probably take to them more if you had played Crysis, the maps were all huge, but like you said smaller maps suit your play style.

Love the new maps, just wish they were integrated into the regular playlists. As good and big and diverse as they are, there's only four of them and thus they do get boring after a while (especially since everyone always want to play Crash Site and spam with the L-Tag...).
And I don't think that many people actually bought it (in protest to the MP issues), or, if they did, were set off by the then still horrible connections and stopped playing altogether (apparently a lot of us were under the strange impression that there would be some patch or update to fix the MP issues included in the DLC... weird, I know).

I would love to play more games on them, though... Sadly, even if they fix the matchmaking, I still won't be able to easily play with people from the US (I'm in Germany, right now), since the net-coding is apparently way too cumbersome.
I still think it's weird I can play pretty much every other online MP with people from all around the world without any lag at all, but as soon as I get into a Crysis 2 game with someone from overseas, time... slows... down... Movement... ... sluggish... ... Deaths... ... for... ... no... ... reason...

@en3my
Granted, the maps are large, but all of them feature small interior areas of strategic value, that in most games create hotspots of vicious close quarters combat.
True, it can be annoying when Crash Site Spawns put you on the wrong side of a map as big Park Avenue and you have to hustle to get somewhere but end up being sniped before you get anywhere.
But in the end, the big maps are like two or three smaller maps combined, almost like Liberty Island (which consists of Statue and Evac Zone), but with much more in the way of interiors and vertical gameplay. If you get to know them, I believe they offer a place for every play style.

Or maybe I just want more people to buy the gorram DLC so I don't feel like I've wasted money on something I could only use once before it's used up.

Thats Transit. I don't like that one either. It seems too sloppy. I cant move smoothly on that one.

Many people are still waiting for the patch before buying. I do the same and I hope Crytek gets the message.

Crytek are surely aware that the vast majority of us aren't going to line their pockets with more gold until they patch this game.

To be honest, the DLC should have been free with all the problems we've had over the 9 or 10 weeks.

Crytek, if you want another pay day you will have to patch this game to make it a 'finished' product

The new maps are excellent... when you can get a game. Thankfully Team IA is my favourite, because you've got no chance of playing anything else.

The priority should be to intergrate the new maps into the standard playlist, before I too go chasing after a refund.

Im getting really pissed off with all this BS now.

In the last few days I am lucky if I can find any game in under 4/5 minutes on the original maps. Truthe be told I've just quit a lobby 3 times because of how long its taking.

I haven't played the DLC in days. Its broke as hell & i'm far to impatience to be waiting up to 10 minutes for a game so I don't bother.

Its a problem on your end then, because as far as original content is concerned i find a match on any game type within 5 seconds of entering a search, granted the DLC is **** and im searching for a refund, but honestly the original maps and gametypes, I have no problem at all and im from the UK o.O

Up until a few days ago I had no problems. I was playing Crysis then I was disconnected to DL an update for either Crysis or XBL & since then i've had problems

Regarding the refund. GL with that m8.

I've tried Crytek, EA & Xbox. None of them give a **** that its broke. I've argued till I turned blue in the face. The only thing is to wait & see if they fix it.

I defo got 1 pal.

Because I didn't know what the update was for I sent the last few people I played with a msg asking if the update was for Crysis or XBL. Some sent a msg back saying xbl, but my Bro said he didn't get one from xbl, he was playing black ops.

So was it XBL or Crysis? One of them got an update.

Could this be why i'm not finding games or shouldn't it be a problem?

I stupidly got the new map packs and waited an age before I could find a game.

Strangely over the last few days since I down loaded the new maps I could not even find a game to play on any of the original game types. Last night I played for an hour, no problem finding games. Then after several hours went back on line after midnight and I tried every game type and no luck of finding any games. I would normally connect to a lobby or game within 30 seconds to a minute. What is going on?

Honestly, I find it weird how many complain about the lag etc. I'm sure you have problems, but I very rarely encounter any at all. Also, I love the new maps. Transit is... wierd, but I still like it. The next map pack NEEDS to have a map based on A Walk In The Park, that'd be awesome :)
