Greetings!

Just like the subject says - there are some things in Crysis 2 that cripple the experience for me.

1) Kill Cams - Is it just me....or do they look terrible 99% of the time? Camera tracking on grenade throws is horrid. Actions hardly ever match up. (including the sound of gunfire matching with the person shooting) Sometimes (maybe from lag?) shots I fire that land prior to my death often are never seen...which makes me question of they even registered at ALL! The broken/ugly/buggy kill cams pulls me right out of the experience rather than showcase any great moves like it should! CoD: WaW didn't have the best kill-cams in the world....but they were pretty sweet. Hell...ANY modern game with a kill-cam does it better than this....Why do they have to svck so badly here?? Ever watch a kill-cam when you die from an Orbital Strike?? What a MESS! It should be EPIC...it is very very far from epic. Glitchy...shaky garbage.

2) Server Browser - It's damn near useless. Nearly every server is empty. The few that are not are usually full. This could be just a lack of community I suppose. Ever try and pick a server while the browser is building the list? Yeah...fun isn't it? It's like trying to catch a greased up chicken while wearing an eyepatch! So we're forced to let the whole list load...(which again...are mostly empty) but if we switch tabs....and come back...we have to wait for the list to refresh AGAIN! Why do games like Unreal Tournament (released many years ago) have flawless server browsers...and a game from 2011 feels like a chore??

3) Chat system - More like....WHAT chat system?? You can type IN-GAME only...(pretty much) BUT...only while you are alive....That makes sense?? So I wanna type a quick message....I have to hide or cloak and just prey no one sees me??? They always do....so you will DIE half way through your message....then your chat screen disappears immediately...and you get the buggy kill-cam.....so you skip that and are forced to respawn....leaving you only a tiny bit more time to finish typing before you inevitably get killed again standing there like a moron! You CAN chat between matches....but you have to click the CHAT tab first??? WHY?! THis is pointless on servers where the count-down timer is uber fast. You don't have time to type anything! Also, if you give us a access to the console....why not show player chat there too? WTF?! If you miss something someone says....you're pretty much screwed. Unless you wanna go find a corner to hide in and try and type back.."What did you say?" Of course...someone will just run by and kill you......This is yet another aspect that pulls me OUT of the experience. Why should I feel detached from the HUMAN players i'm playing with? Just buy a mic you say? Well...lots of us prefer to type. So much for being able to B.S. with other players comfortably...

4) Air Stomp - Good luck getting a kill with this! I think I have only ONE kill so far with it.....Do you have to be EXACTLY on top of the enemy? Is there any splash damage at all?? Most of the time you're left standing there looking stupid as you slowly stand up...while the enemy empties a clip in your face.

5) Coward Kills - Next time you play online...count how many times you die from being shot IN THE BACK with no logical way to defend against it. You can try and argue that "Ooh..you just svck..." or "You should not leave yourself open" but be honest......count how many times you get shot in the back out of nowhere and are left tapping your button to skip the horrible kill-cam in frustration. Wish we would only get HALF of a point for shooting in the back.....cloaking and un-cloaking...then shooting someone in the back is just cowardly and too prevalent.

6) Weapon Switch - I'm mainly pissed at how when switching to my grenades....I am forced to slow down to a crawl for a second or two. What is the point of that???? Why can I NOT sprint and pull out a grenade at the same time. Where is my character storing them.....in his socks?? The game is fast and frantic....especially if your play-style involves close-quarter-battles and a ton of ledge grabs and running (ie: the mobility perk) God forbid you switch to your grenade as you try and run...you might as well just stop and hold up a sign that says "SHOOT ME".

7) Slide - I love to slide...but doing so isn't always easy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow us to have a key-combo mapping for sliding! I use R-SHIFT for sprint and R-CTRL for crouch....Holding shift with my left pinky and being able to mash it down onto the CTRL button below it can be a pain in my ass. SLIDE should have it's own key or allow for a key-combo OTHER than SPRINT + CROUCH! Sometimes it doesn't work....so I will be running toward someone full speed....and then I stop and crouch like an idiot because it didn't make me slide. Unacceptable!

8) Hologram - Yep. I love it too! Why not have the option to AUTO-SWITCH BACK to ammunition after I deploy one? Why am I forced to switch it back myself?? Sometimes it doesn't switch back if I hit it too quickly! End up activating a hologram...spotting an enemy right away...and shooting a 2nd hologram at him. Unacceptable!

I am starting to feel better already.....kind of... ^__^

I spent good money to buy this game at release. Since then it's been crippled by hackers and bugs. There is soo much about the game that blows my mind...and so much that makes me wanna blow my brains OUT! Arrrg! I am willing to over-look the lack of DX11 support out of the box....and the lack of tweakable graphic options....I am even willing to svck it up and deal with the many server issues....hackers included! But all of this other stuff just makes me mad. Too many of the fundamentals of FPS games was done poorly. (mainly kill-cams, key-mapping, server-browser and chat-system!!)

I'm so with you, mate
Hate these bugs, how could they not see them... tsts

Im glad to see I am not alone on the main point I made at the end....
.....now I really DO feel better! Thanks for the reply!

For airstomp to do good damage you need to have a good amount of height, simply power jumping and stomping won't be enough. I personally love airstomp, got it maxed out at lvl 3 and it's currently the only armor module I use.

I hate the frickin′ lobby:(
Totally killed the game for me, and it′s the only reason I don′t play anymore.
I also agree with everyting you said here, though it wasn′t enough to keep me from playing, as I think it′s a great game if it weren′t for the bugs.

OMG.... you make me laugh with

"Why can I NOT sprint and pull out a grenade at the same time. Where is my character storing them.....in his socks??"

Totally agree with you about the granade thing.....

More like between his butt cheeks. Which would explain why the sprint mode is only a little bit faster than a normal person sprinting. He has to slow down to dig out the grenade, if he does it while running he might end up losing them all.

That list was hilariously true. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to have the chat in the lobby as an option, where you have to click a tab to chat. It just doesn't make any sense.

I have also encountered several anomalies with grenades. One it disappears if you are equiped with it and you climb onto a ledge and secondly grenades also disappear if you are killed while throwing it and it also disappears when if you are killed and the pin has already been pulled.

hmmm in all i agree with you goat-tounge, but in 3 points im critically (not to be bad, just my opinion):
for chat: well you are in game, so you have to know that you risk to be killed. what they could better is that you could be able to chat with your buddys you have in your buddy-list. but you can only send or take part on invitation.

kill cam: hmmm i saw often that im not killed only by headshots, i died by melee attack, grenades, shot in back,...

slide (and generally all controls): look on options and define all controls so they have a use for you. look what u need and u neednt.

then other opinion to these things
and air stomp, well im not so good in it but i see if i would work on it, maybe i would be good too, i dont use it anymore. would better if this would be included to the player without module. there are some modules i dont see any use, like see food steps of enemy, see fly route from ammos,..

sprinting and changing weapon yeah would be better. and i would find it better this one: if i remember right, you in crysis and warhead, you didnt have to change to granades, just choose a key for throw chooses grenades. i like this better.

yeah the game isnt perfect, but i like it. if i wouldnt see any positives on the game i wont play it anymore. yeah sure, crytek could make better, but at all i think its playable.

Look on the bright side.
Crysis 3 will be coming, since it's supposed to be a triology. People won't buy it blindly again, cause there is no legacy that will seduce them to.
And if they pull this **** again, the customer will hit them in the company-groin. The money-sack. And when it happens, I will stand on a mountain top, laughing like an evil Nostradamus.

I am like most of you guys hoping that they turn Crysis 2 into something better, something good and worthwile. But I am pretty sure that this won't happen. So I will simply enjoy the future retaliation. Ppl stop wasting your time on this forums. You'll end up a poor sod like me.

I totally 100% agree with you about the stupid killcam thing. Especially when players aim with iron sights or reflex and you see the shaking UP and down. Seriously makes me think it's aimbot hidden they using OR they hidden and enabled the aim assit or it's just a stupid killcam tracking glitch. Orbital Strike lag is sooo annoying mostly in Skyline map. Pisses me off. I agree how they really need to fix this stuff. And nobody is wasting their time in forums. The devs do look into this, we got extra patches because we mention bugs like these or problems that needs to be addressed to correct our judgement ingame.

And if they pull this **** again, the customer will hit them in the company-groin. The money-sack. And when it happens, I will stand on a mountain top, laughing like an evil Nostradamus.


Roflmao....

yep i agree, u made me laugh!

there a few things that cheese me off as well...

- like no fists as weapons (like crysis 1)
- no dual hand guns (like warhead)
- too slow sprint/speed (compared to crysis 1)
- no jog/sprint - just walking
- the nano suit voice tellin me what to do all the time in single player
- the tactical options available a.k.a retard mode in single player
- showing me where the ammo and flank and ledges and stealth and snipe spots are in single player
- the super LOUD "NANO VISION ENABLED"
- the list goes on...


but i still play it all the time.. i just wish they would fix these things, really...

Lots of things you forgot to add, but you missed this really important one.

Say, you're on a huge killstreak, you've survived for so long that your gun ran out of ammo. You're trying to find a gun off a dead guy, and when you manage to kill a svcker with your secondary, his gun stays strapped onto his body. Same thing happens to the other corpses you see lying around. Doesn't happen that often, but more than enough.

So you're telling me, you're wearing a suit that's strong enough to kick a car a mile away, but you can't strip a gun off of a corpse...?
What? Super glue > nanosuit?
If we had such ridiculously strong glue, might as well weaponize it, glue all the aliens in place and lay down some hurt. There's your Crysis 3 idea right there.


I'm thinking it's a glitch, because normally there'd be guns lying all over the floor in high traffic areas... But when you start seeing a gun on a corpse, that's probably the glitch acting up. You know you're probably not going to find a gun when you need one.

Seriously, this game loves to punish players that are good. You survived long enough to use up all your ammo? Well, you're not gonna get another gun cause everybody applies super glue to their guns when they die.
