And here I was thinking this was an issue fixed long time ago =/
I'm very sorry if this is a double post but c'mon.
Crytek, I'm very happy you're doing everything you can to make your game better and your fanbase happier but this CD-key check seems like something that can easely be fixed, especially considering we're forced to create gamesas.com accounts =/

I think a good amount of there fanbase is VERY happy, considering they got the game FOR FREE and can do everything I pays for!

Check the date m8... that topic is really old and free MP is not working anymore i can assure you

i think you are looking at the wrong date. His post was posted 6/25/2011. Also i know its not fixed because my friend is still playing online and he doesnt have a legit version.

I think he ment the date of the url I linked.
It's not that old tbh and asking around, there are apparently still a lot of ppl playing crysis 2 without buying it.
I don't understand this though since Crysis 2 is so much fun and full of potential yet to be explored.
Crysis 2 costs 17€ ffs, why not buy it? -_- (http://www.g2play.net/store/Crysis-2-EA-Download-Manager.html)

(for those wondering, I personally bought 4 games, 1 WoW gamecard and 1 DLC pack from this website, they are highly trustable even though their prices sometimes seem too good to be true :p)

They're giving you DX11 for free and you're still whining about that? That's not even a problem worth fixing like the Orbital Strikes and hanging lobbies.

because these cdkeyless guys will not hesitate to cheat.

I agree about Orbital lag strikes, but the hanging lobbies isn't really a problem except a few players leave before it loads. Which is probably a concern for you, but not most players.

M8, it doesn't work... I've been following MP online free on a website and people are whinning now that they can't play. They tried all window opportunities and it isn't working. Some say they managed to get into lobby but as soon as the game starts they get dropped.

I think I have some knowledge on this subject. I've seen it empty out many servers. It's a concern for all server owners who pay for the servers and spend time keeping them populated so others (like yourself) can enjoy the games. We already shut down one very popular server because of the hanging lobby. We got fed up with having to repopulate the server.
I can live with it. Our CrashSite server is usually full and when it does empty, we are usually able to repopulate in minutes. But many servers aren't that fortunate. This has a 2 prong effect: The servers die out and the players migrate to any populated server and bring with them their high pings. So the players are left with a few fully populated servers at any one time and a bunch of server owner/admins (that provide these servers for the public) sitting on their empty servers. I understand what you're saying. The owners are just a small portion of the public. But we are the ones that provide the services that the public takes for granted.
On a side note: the only reason I made that comment about the whining is because I was only quoting what amputate said (a few posts back) in another post. He called it whining because it's not what he wanted.

I think there are a lot of things that need fixing in this game and they'll all important to some more than others.

Hanging lobbies, lag orbital strikes are kinda okish and acceptable to play with. kind of.

Though illegitimate players are more prone to cheat their ways and annoy the hell out of legit players and won't hesitate to ruin the whole server without strict admin presence.

Crytek, seriously illegitimate players are prone to cheat and annoy the hell out of legit players, for the x of god, eliminate them, wasn't it the first thing that you should do for proper MP?

Not saying MP is completely broken or totally unplayable but, seriously
No punkbuster, No proper CD key check, it can't be described as other than total negligence of legit players.


Fix hanging lobbies, strictest CD key check, isn't it the first thing that need fixing anyways.
Ain't it the first priority works to make a proper working MP? I really can't believe this.
Am I wrong? crytek?
