So I've played all the Crysis games but never the multiplayer apart from a quick bash on the BETA for Crysis 2.

Seems the forums are full of threads about how broken this game is and to be honest at first I never noticed it, then it crept in with the appalling connections and Typhoon annoyance but I've finally found a setup I can play with and especially these last few days have hours of enjoyment with decent connections and a host migration that has only not worked around 3/10 times, which isn't too shabby at all.

I think the map design is excellent much more varied to other FPS out there namely Call of Duty and the game actually takes a bit more skill than the norm, being able to manage your suit and spot the cloaks means homing your reactions in a different way.

No game is perfect Black Ops 2 has suffered massively with poor connections in recent weeks, it took 7 patches for me to finally feel as though Gears of War 2 was decent enough but I stuck with it and I hope that this game irons out its flaws so that others can get the same enjoyment I'm having right now with this varied and different shooter.

MY SETUP
Weapon - Scar with laser sight, extended clip, muzzle break.
Modules - Auto Armour, Weapon Skill (2), Aim Enhance (3)

K/D 1.70 Team Deathmatch

Nothings perfect out the box online and I agree with most that Crytek need to answer questions more actively and acknowledge the community but the game for me so far is great.

MY SETUP
Weapon - Scar with laser sight, extended clip, muzzle break.

If I remember correctly extended clip only gives 6 more shots... Does that actually help you? Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather use Fore Grip for stability, and connect more of my shots. And in comparison to the felines extended mags (60 -> 90, a 30 shot difference) the Scar's extended clip doesn't actually do much. Or does it??

...it took 7 patches...

Hopefully Crysis 3 doesn't take that many update to be fixed. I've heard somewhere before that each title update costs 40K$, too, so it's unlikely that will happen.

To be honest I've never even looked at how many more rounds it gives lol. I just found that sometimes I'd kill one guy move on to shooting the next one close to him and I'd reload mid fight doesn't seem to happen with extended mag, don't get me wrong I reload all the time but mid fight it's tough. I used to use the foregrip but with Aim Enhance (tier 3) I've felt no difference with taking it off.

I feel that the Scar's accuracy is through the roof already, so Aim Enhance wasn't worth having. I switched it for Rapid Fire, lol. As for reloading in the middle of a fight.. I tend to just finish 'em off with a pistol, and usually if I can't do that, I'd have died anyway. The Nova and Hammer are a LOT better than some people might think, IMO.
