Invisibility aka noob mode and no decent anti-cheat protection totally ruins this game. Ive encountered a few hackers today which anihilated everybody on the server from stupid invisibility mode.

Catch is they werent even decloaking when shooting us. Why have you changed invisibility Crytek??? the demo was very balanced concerning this noob feature.

You were able too see from far away cloaked players when using Nanovision. Now even from 5meters theres barely a freaking faint shadow.

Since when the hell invisibility makes your body heat dissapear?? no really since when??? since when the f. using invisibility, also turns you into a cold blooded snake?? do you guys ever watched Hollow Man?

Right now the MP is like this > Cloak > camp >kill>Cloak > camp >kill. WTF?? and ultimately it's the perfect advantage for hackers!!!! they dont even need aimboot, nametag hacks and stuff. They can just use infinite power to use with cloak mode and thats it. The game itself "cheats" for them for free!!!

My final point is, make the cloak be completely visible from all distances when using Nanovision. It was like this in the demo and it was simply well balanced!! if you want to save multiplayer mode from total extinction, PLEASE do what i asked!!!

I think a bunch of people are still hacking at times and not hiding behind the cloak if you will. I have come across a bunch of people that seem to know right where I am all the time and make some really rediculous kills. I've played enough to spot something that does not seem normal or possible.

I think it's too late to save the MP part. I saw only 16 people on North American servers playing around 10:45 Am EST today, and it's a DOUBLE XP WEEKEND!

Cool game, but some abuse and cheating is really ruining it for some.

Exactly the same here!

Invisibility aka noob mode


Invisibility is meant to be part of the game along with all the other suit powers (the whole selling point was the suit). The problem with cloak now is nanovision isn't buffed up enough to counter it, the heat signatures need to be clearer and slightly further range to make it less useless and easier to spot cloakers than normal sight.

yo its cloak, not invisibilty

I started a interesting debate about this a while back, lot of people had different points of view.

I found out that while playing standard more i noticed atleast 80% of players that play run around cloaked all the time. I kinda got annoyed getting newbed by some camper waiting around for me in some corner while cloaked. so now I play on classic mode only, it removes the nanosuit and problem is solved, makes the game experience much more enjoyable. as for cheaters, i play on my own dedicated server, if we come across a obvious cheater they get banned.

Classic mode lol, may as well go play COD, one of the best things about Crysis before Crysis 2 was the extended firefights players engaged in, a lot further away from cheap COD gameplay.

Cloak is overpowered yeah, but Nanovision has been fixed after the demo, because you see a lot fewer players running around with the stupid thing ALWAYS on. It's almost cheating in it's own way, getting to see people so easily before they can see you, just as stupid as getting away with being constantly invisible.

A better way to fix it would be to make the modules like cloak tracker actually work well.
Or as other people suggested in another thread, disable sprinting when in cloak, or have the cloak invisibility weaken as energy drains.

Because not everybody has cloak right? If someone gets the drop on you you got outplayed long before any bullets were fired.

L2P

How about a game where it's not just about who gets a cheap drop on someone first, there's not enough fight in that. Doesn't anyone remember / know what Crysis used to be like?

If I recall correctly, being cloaked is not actually being invisible, it's the suits ability to reflect light in such a way it makes you appear invisible, if so, then that should also reflect the ability of nano-vision to see it clearly, even if it's made to pickup your heat signature? Also, the more advanced your stealth mode is, the harder it is to pick it up. Stealth mode does'nt always seem to help.. I've been cloaked and had people find me from the other side of the map and wondered how the hell did they see me?

As a person who went from Full Armor mode to Stealth power i can say

1: The cheaters nickname was LTiberious? The bastard shoots from cloak, sees cloak a mile away and then yells in chat that he owned ya?
2: Nanovision is fine. It doesnt need a buff. The mobility enhance nerf gave a chance to the armor users. Buffing it - sux.
3: Dude, i love cloak campers. Free frags 4ever. Believe me, they are the easiest frag you'll ever get. Beware those who use War tactics.
4: In the demo cloak was useless. Hell, thats why i played Armor only mode.
5: Runing in cloak is the whole idea of cloak. Not to be seen while runing.
6: Whining about you not being able to see cloaked people - go play some assault....

and bla bla bla usvck

This should go separately.

Cloak reflects light and TRIES (!) to hide your heat signatures. The level of the cloak doesnt affect visibility (only shadow not being cast on level 2)

Some people are able to see cloak from the other side of the map, but usually - we call them cheaters. 'Cos hey - who likes them?
