After playing on a server where quiete everyone had a high ping I realized what balance/gameplay elements are destroying crysis 2 mp for alot of people (so far the alpha looked promising).

1. the cloak
make its as powerful as you want - for singleplayer. In multiplayer it only adds a big amount of randomness an delay (resulting in teleport-like-movement). Make it impossible to shoot shortly after deactivating cloak and make it more visible. For me being invisible should never be possible, only make it easier to pass dangerous places and escape easier.

2. the laser
mastering the recoil of automatic weapons is crucial an fps games, especially on small cq maps. Crysis 2 is full of pretty powerfull assault rifles (with already almost no recoil tap firing), so why taking away the only skill to master with these weapons? Not to talk about the faster strafing bugs...

I know that you will not remove the laser but plz keep in mind that sth like this should be bound to extreme disadvantages such as a highly reduced amount of ammo or a decrease in the fiire rate.

if you will reward aiming and good movement in this game and you will be one step ahead of shooters like bf3 and cod.

Thank you

What the hell ?
How should laser result in lower amount of ammo or a decrease fire rate ? Where do you guys get those crazy ideas from ?

1.Cloak - Not in agreement
2.The laser should either always be visible to everybody, make it unavailable during cloak, have no reticules when hipfiring without the laser pointer etc..

If you gonna balance things at least make it make sense

I guess you haven't played against a good cloak player with a high ping right?

Anyways the laser sight should only add more accuracy while you're shooting from the hip, that's all.

Said the pc gamer to a console player. You couldn't be any more wrong.

Yes so?

We cannot nerf cloak because someone has a high ping. Disabling laser while in cloak makes perfect sense since cloak works by light diffraction.

...from playing, and not only talking about this game. Do not start a realism discussion here...we all know that a sci-fi game is fictional, do we (how can a laser decrease spread?)

I dont care about storyline and other stuff, you can play in sp whatever you want.
I am an old school gamer so a multiplayer game has to be balanced and simply work, everything else does not matter for me.

Yes, but there is no reason to make such drawbacks from using laser, apart of course from that an old school gamer Bluntar666 wants it so.

I speak for alot of people which played and still playing this game on a, let's say "high" level. Why do you think is the laser banned in some tournaments and servers?

Do you want to play some rounds with me using a laser while you are playing the weapon without attachments? Not that I am too good, but perhaps I can give you a different view on the lazer

If you choose not to use the laser attachment so be it, it's meant to have drawbacks and advantages - Easier aiming over nothing(really decreased recoil which is stupid, should remove reticule for most weapons) at the disadvantage of being more visible(don't use the pointer so wouldn't know) and slightly slower movement speed as with all attachments
