I figured that there's so many discussions about the Crysis 2 multiplayer that there might as well be a thread dedicated to it.

My experience with multiplayer has been fairly variable. I love the concept and I love the game when it works fine. Personally, the two things that irk me are matchmaking and hit detection. The new patch seemed to have resolved a lot of connectivity issues but I'm still ending up in the middle of a huge map trying to hunt down 3 people. IMO, it would be nice to throw everyone into one huge map. Also, hit detection is very irksome. At times I have emptied entire clips into people and they still seem to kill me, at other times I kill them in a matter of seconds. I suppose some of it is lag but I'm 100% sure that a large part of it is still hit detection. If Crytek could fix these two issues, I'd be a very happy man.

Have any of you guys tried the two DLCs? If so, what's your experience been with them?

Also, it would be great to share nice strategies and loadouts here. Personally, I got my ass kicked for a while before I figured out what works for me: 1) find hotspots on the map; 2) stealth; 3) stalk; 4) kill; 5); take cover and recharge suit; 6) rinse and repeat. All this is done with a SCAR and the stealth enhancer, threat tracer, and weapon pro modules. I find that modules are what make or break a player's game.

So yeah, do you guys have any other strategies or is that what everyone basically does?
