I've stopped playing because the gameplay is simply boring.

They have done literally nothing inovative with it.

yes get back to playing 18th century graphics pls we dont want you here anyway.

What's with the hating? Counter-Strike is the perfect example of how to do a mulitplayer game right; the original mod was released in 1999.

It's been around for 12 years and it still has a ridiculously strong community and tons of servers.

Do you honestly care so much about graphics that you'd rather play a broken game like Crysis 2 over a game that works so well, it's still going strong 12 years after its release?

Silly.

Theres nothing special about cs at all, would take 1 day to design a game equally good really.
And yes i know what im talking about im a programmer.
Also if you find c2 gameplay boring i kinda question how you would NOT find cs boring, point that piece of **** gun in a certain direction, and hope your opponents HP drops.........................?? While looking at graphics that are worse than in LEgo Batman.

Cos retards are still playing crap ops. C2 is a far superior game. And the MP gameplay is amazing. But it does have its fair share of bugs.

I just wondering how many people will buy the next Crysis (3?) on PC after all this? For me (I owned both Crysis and Warhead + The whole pack again ) was to main reason for buy the multiplayer. But its failed on all levels. I still can't play more than 5 min before the disconection. Leveling is impossible because the previous reason. And Its really pi***** me off I was forced to play multiplayer with a thousend of people who's just simply download the game for free. And I don't mention the Hackers or cheaters.
So big fail for us to buying this game, but for Crytek its even Bigger.
Regaining the reputation is always harder like build one.
And the multiplayer is dying after 2-3 weeks? I'm wondering Why is that

P.S. DX11 patch? Ha. Keep it. I am not playing this game anymore..
But the box looks good on my shelf. For me the Crysis series end with Crysis 2.
Amen

im really disappointed as well and I thought this was going to be a good experience but I guess not. It amazes me that SLI has been in existence for at least 5 years if not more and this game cant even run properly using sli. That is amazing to me especially knowing that Crysis 1 had zero problems running SLI when the game was released.

same thing happened to MW2. It was so overwrought with hackers that most quit after a month or so. The pure hype has kept that one alive. I'd really like to see this cleaned up. I actually enjoy the game.

Walking into a Team game only to be leveled by a guy shooting a LAW like it was a mini gun (I'm being serious here) is a bit disheartening. <:\

What I hate is the "Soft hackers"; guys that have hacks that auto aim but not by snapping. They always finish with 25-40 kills while everyone else are hovering around 11 or so (if they're doing well.) It's hard to see it on the kill cam but when that killing shot should have missed me by 20 feet judging from the way the gun was pointed....*shrug*.

I'm still playing a lot of Bad Company 2. As it stands now, I can't get anyone from my clan to even buy Crysis 2.

^ This, you hit it right on the head! I am so sick and tired of this happening and people being fooled into thinking "oh those guys are just good" My ass they are. Nobody consistently goes 30 and 6 or 23 and 2 every game all the time and always coming in first place too. FPS games are to random and a lot of luck also. There is only so much skill needed to do good in an fps, its not like a career you build up and work on over time. Being good at a fps is 70% how fast your pc (including good peripherals like a gaming mouse for accuracy) 20% skill and 10% knowing the maps and good spots to shoot from.

Most guys in fps games like this are STUPID enough to believe that people legitimately are so good that they can always go 30 and 3 every game and it just makes me shake my head and realized how stupid these kids really are. A few good games in a row is one thing, always coming in first place no matter who they are playing against and always having a 5.0 to 6.0 KDR is unrealistic without cheating.

Hands down, i haven't played alot eaither... all the random bugs, and hackers ticked me off... it's a huge shame, cause the MP have huge potential, it simply was not done at the time of release...

Americans always were complicating their life, overdoing gaming rigs by using more than one GFX card (while one good card is better than 2 semi-decent/old cards AND 2 uber cards doesn't make sense because it's just overkill), using more than 4Gb of Ram "for gaming", playing games on 30+ inch LCD siting just 1m from it which doesn't make sense and so on

The fact is.... there is no need for more than one graphic card in your PC to enjoy all games on MAX settings and more than 35+ FPS, so SLI isn't priority while making game. Ppl got owned by their own stupidity in matter of building gaming rigs, and now cry over company which didn't make game 100% compatible with SLI. They did amazing job on creating engine which work on 3 different platforms, and should get a medal for that.

Are you retarded? 4gb of ram is freaking joke. Do you know anything about gaming and pcs? Windows 7 uses 1.5gb of ram just to run in the background, other things running will probably at the very least use .5gb of ram, so you telling me that 2gb of ram left over is enough to run high end games? Go back to your xbox.

Amazing conclusion that i am console user, where did u get that, from your ass? lmao You are only one who don't know anything about PCs.
To answer your question... YES 4gb of ram it is what system and any game can use at once, any additional memory over 4gb won't be used and thats a fact. ONLY 2D/3D graphic rendering editors and video editors use over 4gb ram. This is basic and common knowledge :p

Win7 64bit + additional small programs running - max 1.5gb ram
Crysis 2 - not even 1.5gb ram after few hours of plaing
= there is still lot's of free memory left.

Conclusion: YOu don;t need more than 4gb of ram to enjoy any game on max settings with smooth graphic animation.

Umm no, 2gb of ram for games is no where near enough, it might run it but it wont run it well.

Umm no, 2gb of ram for games is no where near enough, it might run it but it wont run it well. You really dont know how ram works I can tell go look it up. So now you saying 2gb of ram (one stick)is good enough? Now your only running single channel ram (since the game is only using one stick of ram it cant run dual or triple channel obviously) ok I shouldnt name call sorry about that but you dont know what your talking about. You need to go look it up.

There are some legit players who have the ability to do consistently good. However they represent a small percentage of the overall players out there. And then you have the skilled hackers who know how to hack and get away with it. They toggle their hacks on and off to supplement their scores to where they're consistently finishing at or near the top without questionable KD ratios, and occassionally throwing in average games finishing in the middle of the pack as to not draw attention to themselves.

There are too many variables in these types of games to where no matter how good you are, you can't control getting shot in the back as you're shooting somebody else. Or the occassional spawn deaths that happen nearly every map.

Exactly, no one can come in first every single game all the time. THere are to many randoms.

Actually, Crysis 2 plays surprisingly well on the system we built for my little 3yo nephew.
AMD Athlon II x3 450, GT240 512MB, 2GB Ram, Win 7 HP 32bit.
Just have to play at 1280x720 with high settings.
I loaded Crysis 2 on it after I built it to see if it would work and I ended up playing on it for 3 hours with no issues.

you have to be a complete idiot saying that SLI is to complicated and then centering out Americans the only gamers with two graphics cards. Im not even going to explain SLI or the strategy for developing for SLI which is not difficult at all. And all you want me to do is praise them for multiplatform developing. there are hundreds of developers that have already accomplished this and have done a better jog then Crytek.

Sorry, but you're wrong. No game requires over 4gb of dual channel ram.

Take my system for example:

Asus P8P67 PRO motherboard
Asus GTX 480 + Arctic Cooling AXP cooler (875mhz core/1750mhz shader/2000mhz memory)
Intel i5-2500k (4.5ghz)
Corsair XMS3 4gb (1600mhz)

This computer can run any game I've thrown at it on full graphics with steady fps (50-60 for the most demanding). It can run Crysis 1 at full graphics with 16xAA with the above fps.

Now if you think running one of the most demanding games out there at a solid 50-60 fps isn't running it well then you're clearly the one who doesn't know much about PCs.

EDIT: I assume you're not taking into account the GFX cards dedicated video RAM. 1gb seems to be the standard nowadays.

I saw no nothing of interest in the MP. And barely anything in the SP. Only optimization. Gameplay was boring too.

This make me laugh...

You just describe an example where your are running game on 2gb memory stick without or not including OS at all xD Nice thinking dude.....

I didnt say it cant run it. But the more ram the better it will run it. 4gb is the minimum, and that leaves no room for memory errors either. Also means your going to be running one stick, so no dual or triple channel mode then. Also 50 to 60 frams per second is slow. Ya 60 is fine if it stays there and never drops but I doubt that that would be the case.

I didnt say one stick for the whole pc. I am saying if u have 4gb of ram (2, 2gb dimms, ) and the os and other apps are using close to 2gb that only leaves you the one stick to run the game.

How is 50-60 fps slow? wtf?
40+ is fine
Human eye cant really see a difference from about 50-60+ anyway

edit: hell, even 30+ fps is fine

How is 50-60 fps slow? wtf?
40+ is fine
Human eye cant really see a difference from about 50-60+ anyway
My friend can see the difference between 50 fps and 60 fps.

But I agree that 40+ is fine, even 30+ is all right.

Being good at a fps is 70% how fast your pc (including good peripherals like a gaming mouse for accuracy) 20% skill and 10% knowing the maps and good spots to shoot from.
On consoles it's 70% skill and 30% knowing the map. I suppose that is one pro of playing on a console...

But the more ram the better it will run it.

Worng, there is no difference in game performance between rig with 4gb memory and 8/12/16gb.

4gb is the minimum,

Wrong again, 4gb it is maximum which any system together with game can use. Basically nothing will change in matter of performance/FPS when you bump ram over 4gb.

and that leaves no room for memory errors either.

Usually i have 1gb of memory free while playing Crysis 1 which is ATM most demanding game and i use 4gb of ram. I means that there is still plenty of memory for errors etc.

Also means your going to be running one stick, so no dual or triple channel mode then.

WOWUT? :X

Also 50 to 60 frams per second is slow. Ya 60 is fine if it stays there and never drops but I doubt that that would be the case.

Human eye can't notice difference over 30fps. Anyway... i have 4gb of ram and can play Crysis 1 on maxed settings with around 40 stable fps. Since C1 is more benchmark than game, any other game will be have over 50-60fps stable.

I didnt say one stick for the whole pc. I am saying if u have 4gb of ram (2, 2gb dimms, ) and the os and other apps are using close to 2gb that only leaves you the one stick to run the game.

Where did you get idea that OS is using FIRST stick, and game SECOND lmao When you have mounted 2 stick it works as one memory bank, OS and game are sharing this space in same time.

Human eye can't notice difference over 30fps. Anyway... i have 4gb of ram and can play Crysis 1 on maxed settings with around 40 stable fps. Since C1 is more benchmark than game, any other game will be have over 50-60fps stable.Yeah, it can. My friend can tell the difference between 50 and 60 fps.

If he is super human then yes Believe me, its not something which human brain "learn" by training, simply aver brains can't register difference in amount of displayed frames per second above 30-35fps. It's beyond human perception so your friend is misunderstanding something, difference in how graphic animation is more smoother is one thing and see difference in amount of displayed frames is another thing
