Hm, most of those actually look pretty bad.

Just look at this, it looks like nothing else but your trusty filter smackdown.
I also wonder where that eerie white comes from, it's not like Crysis 2 had any frozen parts.

Well, now we know what they've been working on this whole time. Isn't that lovely? hm?
It obviously looks better, but imo it still looks almost like Crysis 1 =/
Although I haven't played C1 in a while, so I could be wrong

@Bloax lol ya the white, I think I played Portal 2 too much yesterday cause when I saw that pic I thought "That's a nice place to put a portal, and from this height there would be some good momentum"

Yes! This is all the game really needs outside of DX11. POM and better textures.

Leave it to the community to fix cryteks mistakes.

Its rygel texture mod for crysis 2, which was very popular for crysis 1

I'm not familiar with the POM acronym, so I'll assume you mean Parallax occlusion mapping.
It also needs the modding tools, getting rid of as many hackers as possible, and um....ya I think that about covers it.

Edit: HOLD ON WTF, that was made by a MODDER? >_> probably shoulda read that.

Crytek aren't making these textures, it's a community modder.

Well Crysis 1 and Warhead textures were pretty crappy too, before Rygel released his 2GB pack.

I installed warhead the other day, thought it looked kinda dated, maybe i'll try one of these Rygel packs with Crysis1.

Crytek needs to hire this guy.

Vanilla Crysis and Warhead aren't "bad" by any means (they both look miles better than Crysis 2). Remember these are 3-4 year old games.

Get the Texture and Objects packs, it makes a big big difference.

Watch Crytek release a patch(1.3) blocking this mod from taking place. Ha

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 12:16 am

dont say that man

» Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:10 pm

The rygel texture update for Crysis 1 & WARHEAD was/is absoluteley stunning.
Everyone of you, I recommend you to install it.
The graphics are 1000x times better (and if you use other configs too, you're bringing your PC to his knees

)

whats the best config file to use

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:27 am

I am using the Mster Config, but there are maybe better one's out there

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 7:49 am

you guys are morons, this is some idiot trying to repain the mona lisa so she looks prettier. crysis 2 is a masterpiece and only the smart people understand just how good the graphics really are. rest of u look at it and dont know ur butt from face, leave it alone because it is the best this way.

Use the Extreme Quality mod. It makes the game look truly cinematic.

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:29 am

When does this texture pack come out? I'd like to try this as soon as possible. Also, does the extreme quality mod improve textures?

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 5:27 am

extreme quality mod is only for crysis1. The texture mod is still in development for crysis 2. Since crytek was kind enough to gut the whole modding community and not releasing SBE, it might be taking longer to do QA.

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 10:40 am

I think Crytek are quite clever. Why bother bringing out a game with great textures if there are modders doing your job for free?!

Bravo Crytek, Bravo =/

Im quite sure he is constantly pulling his hair out because of the UV mapping on some geometry
