I haven't played Crysis 2 online in several weeks. I'm level 36 and just looked at the leaderboards.

My rank is 10979, which is almost exactly what it was when I last played.

One would think in an active game with a large community my rank would of moved down some in that time.
And I'd say I'm average, not good nor bad when I play games so I'm surprised I've not gone down any.

Your thoughts on this people?

Just seems to make me think the community situation of Crysis 2 is much worse than I had realized.

Well as far as I see it, there seem to be a lot of people who try the game and quit after a few games. All of those people ( I have like 12 of em in my friend list) didn′t even think about using stealth even once. (One of them even complained that he can′t see his enemies, didn′t wanna argue with him about that seeing that he was somewhat right, lol)
It seems to me that many people think this is COD, and start playing it like that. Well of course I and others who grasp the game, mop the floor with their asses.
It′s somewhat a miracle to me how people can′t see the usefullness of being cloaked.

Well this and the serious connection problems and matchmaking issues.

BTW, I constantly move up, though the air gets thin up here. Just for the record I′m currently rank 344 .

It is slightly concerning, I'm keeping an eye on my place in the leaderboards for wins, as I'm currently around 175th...I didn't play for a couple of days and I'd only dropped about 10 places, which I recovered after a few wins!

Your not rank 10979 now haha. Hardly budge since your posted but now your 10984.

I get what your saying though & I agree. Hopefully Crytek will drop a good patch, theve got MYCRISIS stats going & dlc. I dont know they could bring people back, but it all depends on this patch. Some would think the sooner the better but let them take their time so they dont mess anything else up, Besides you can only submit so many patches to MS. You can have as many as you want on PS. I'm hopeful that people will come back.

Probably due to the few people who've brought the DLC lol.
It's probably the most it's moved in 2 weeks.

Let's hope that patch comes soon, because most of my live friends own it, played it properly, loved it, but got sick of LAG and Bugs making it not fun at all after the first 2-3weeks and went back to other games.

Just worried if it's left any longer I won't be able to convince them to return, because it seems the reasons I mentioned are what is stopping people from wanting to play anymore.

Going to be even harder as more new games are released and there are some big ones coming.

Its sad because Call of Duty has left such a taste in the industry.

Don't get me wrong, it has some aspects of it that makes it fun. Which is why many people still play it - regardless of all the issues. However, since just like any business, you want money. If COD can make millions, by doing the same process, over, over, and over again. It sends a little message to developers, "You can try it too". Games that just don't follow the COD formula, tend to not interest many for long.

It then forces dev to consider applying some COD sides to their own game, and hence most FPS at least get a comparision to how COD is.

Hopefully, as mentioned, Crytek don't fall down to the COD movement.

release patch that fixes netcode and other stuff this month and i'll recommend crysis 2 to everyone! free advertisemant also its from a person who plays it so even better and i doubt i will be alone in this!

I'd spread the word too, but there's a problem.

Sorry Dan but I don't believe we will be getting a patch to fix the poor Network Connection.

I will recommend this game to all people I know when/if it is PROPERLY fixed. I have given up on when a decent patch will come. As for rank I posted a similar thread recently. For those who keep saying "those who quit don't know how to use stealth" I will say sorry you are full of sh1t.

Many of my xbox live friends purchased this game, we played it non stop for the first few weeks, I mean hours at a time. Many of us played the demo for quite sometime until release also, so we pretty much knew how Stealth and Armour works.

Thing is not only did the full release MP change from the demo mechanics, but the game is severely and proven as such, BROKEN.

This is from experienced gamers like myself who have been playing games from Wolfenstein 3D to HALO and everything in between and beyond.
I'm 36 years old, my first games were Space Invaders and a "pong game" that ran on C cell batteries, my first console system. And I'll admit I'm not "1337" but "average"my rank is 37 in Crysis 2, showing that I have put in the time needed, along with my friends who had gotten level 50 and rebooted in the first week. One who is at least a professional game tester and has over 100k gamer score and even he quit due to bugs.

So please don't say that all quitters and complainers are just "those who can't use stealth" because many like myself who are complaining, and actually do like the game, which is why we are still here, are upset for real reasons.

If I cannot play a game due to it being broken, that has nothing to do with others or my ability in game.

If I cannot kill someone because hit detection doesn't allow me to kill them after unloading a whole clip into them (all hits by visually and audio registering) yet they can one hit melee or shoot me while I am stealthed or armoured, has nothing to do with me and others not being able "use the abilities"

Being one shot killed across a map by a default pistol while cloaked, by someone who shouldn't be able to see you isn't about skill or playing the game correctly, it's game mechanics, and or cheats.

How do you adapt to that or "play the game correctly"

I don't own a single CoD game, I've played RPG's, 1st Person and 3rd Person Games, point and click adventures, side scrollers, horizontal scrollers, top down, have owned virtually every gaming format since Atari 2600's and Commodore Vic 20's.
So please oh please don't tell us it our fault this game is a fail, when it is quite clear, and if you read the forums properly, it is the game, Crytek and it's coding, not the players at fault.

Cheer's Doomed

Unfortunately Crytek throws out bans left right and centre......

If they ban you Doomed, I'm sure you will be able to air your views (as you are fully entitled) some other way )

I just want to say, as much as cloak needed the decreased visibility is just got, you could have been tagged, and you take double damage in cloak. Also, the M12 kicks ass
