They aren't stupid you know. They know exactly what they can do, and how to make more money. They didn't bother even testing the PC multiplayer.

The demo for PC was late, and was only released due to the leak version of the game. They weren't even planning on releasing it for PC in the first place, it was just straight away ported from Consoles. How much time you wonder it would take to remove 'Press start' to begin? Or just a couple graphics settings you know? It's just **** values in a config, it takes less than an hour to integrate those in the menu.

Good thing they remembered to remove 'Press start' in the final version and bloody Autoaim, but who gives a **** about graphics settings. Let the users make that for us because Crytek is:

1) Either **** lazy.
2) Is **** greedy and at the same time lazy enough to do minor work like that.
3) Wants on purpose to **** on the PC fanbase for **** and giggles.

Multiplayer, as of right now on PC, is unplayable. Almost every ranked server doesn't work, the lobbies don't start. People's rank resets once they restart a game, or at least rolls back a level. Each login requires to enter the CD-Key every single time for many people. SLI / Crossfire users with godlike specs are having mad flickering.

The game is not bad, it's fine. Good even. Look at the 360 forums, they make threads to talk about balance and diffirent things, while PC is clogged with 2000 topics about how multiplayers does not. ****. work.

How do I get my moneys back? I wanted a PC game not a cheap ported POS. Everyone who worked on this game should be fired because they have no idea how to make games. Get a Clue EA.

I really really feel riped off here. I will be telling everyone I know who plays games to never buy another ea game, and for them to tell everyone they know.

(more rage here)

Im getting sick of retards like you,
1. you are not telling us what is the problem
2.the graphics look amazing even on dx9 (much better then crysis 1)(and yes you are an idiot if you think otherwise) also they will patch it to dx10/11
3.EA is the publisher
4.who gives a f*** if the game is ported if it works fine with pc standard graphics, options and controls
but yeah the game has a lot of problems hopefully they will fix them.

TBH I dont blame EA / CRYTEK for producing the game for consoles. There used to be a time where there was a very big difference between the graphics capability and processing of a PC vs console and it used to pay to develop it for a PC but nowadays those margins have narrowed. That means in order to make the most money you need to develop where your biggest user base is and nowadays that equals consoles.

Look at crysis 1. They developed for the PC only so it meant the potential market was limited in size and the gfx/processing requirements were immense so very few people could play it as it was intended. Crysis 2 on the otherhand has xbox / PS3 / pc game markets and when it comes to the PC market, any off the shelf PC can play it.

Its all about making money and the strategy they have chosen will mean that crysis 2 shall dwarf the sales of crysis 1.

I can see a lot of developers going down this route which could potentially cripple nvidia/ati sales because games just dont need powerful gfx cards anymore. It will prob get to the point that nvidia/ati shall have to pay game developers to use new features in order to sell their new products.

It's a **** awesome game, the fact that it was made for consoles as well as pc has not hurt the pc game much, it looks good and it's a fun game, both sp and mp.
SURE it could be dx11, have better textures and shaders like Crysis1, but it's not like what we have now is a BAD result.
LOTS of bugs, sure, but if you work around them you have a GREAT time.

Well this is my first post, and the only reason for posting is, and i quote; "Crytek you are a big pice of ****" Personally i enjoy the game, Yes it's not perfect, and yes it will be improved upon soon, i mean I'm a Crossfire user who had insane flickering, but instead of whine about it to a forum because i felt the need to tell the world what we already know, i fixed it, and it's fun.
But If all you can do is bich and moan that black ops ( the game that banned somewhere around 12000 legit users because of a bug between the disc and steam ) is better than Crysis 2, then personally I'd rather you kept your opinion in your own little mind.
Also nice misguided rage post OP :)

im also getting sick of this fanboy kids.

It's not a PC game? WTF am I playing it on then, a toaster?


that statemant says it all. :D

it is a pc game. im playing it right now on my pc. there are some things that bother me, sure... but those things are really minor things.

there are the hints on objects you can interact with... press "button" to "do action". thats totally a consolification. true. but does this break my game experience? not really. i would be more happy if i could turn that sort of stuff off if i want to.

what else? hm. maybe the checkpoint system? maybe... farcry had it to. for me personally it acutally encourages me to play more concentrated and more careful. with quicksave/load its more like, hmm, lets quicksave, rush in that room, pobably die, if, just load last quicksave. cheaters found the console command for saving pretty fast though. thing is, its not a lack of the function, it is a design decision to NOT have the quicksave/load function.

cant really think of anything else. well, except that the suit voice gets on my nerves, but thats also a minor issue.

the mutliplayer runs fine for me too, now. i didnt encounter any bugs yet, but i played only a few rounds. important is it runs. i had some major issues first, but it had nothing to do with the game, it was my router. also i was told that every shooter that was released the last 2 years encountered lots of starting issues. so, nothing unusual here.

the game runs fine. it looks amazing on dx9, i will look even better on dx11, i guess. but do i care? not really. because 1, i dont have a dx11 card, and 2, i am a gamer and rather have my constant 60frames per second and good optics than 30-60 (or less) fps with ultimate fancy optics.

uh, i'm playing super mario on my computer right now too... that doesn't make it a **** PC game though. This is more like a cheap xbox360 emulator ROM than a PC game.

No it isn't a PC game it's a multiplatform game, something we knew about for the last 2 years (E3 2009), the primary feature of the advertised Sandbox 3 was the ability to create a single art asset (animation, texture, 3d model) and have it implimented in real-time on every major platform with the cryengine 3 doing the platfrom specific code optimising for you, maximum effeciency.

How anyone can claim to be ambushed is insane considering the massive ammount of advertising that has been given, Crytek clearly want to be the next Epic, if you can't stand that Idea then that is fine but don't pretend it was done in secret.

1-Game isn't done. EA didn't give Crytek enough time.

2-Game is getting done through patches and updates.

3-You are impatient.

4-This is not a PC game or console game. It's multiplatform game with the ability to be awesome on whatever system you play on. Newflash: This is not new news.

5-DX11 and other PC specific features are confirmed.

6-You are not a true fan of Crytek. Leave the forums.

7-It's impossible to port a game on CryEngine 3, thus, Crysis 2 is not ported. It was simultaneously made on all systems at the same time. Whatever happened to one version happened to another. Then it was finalized and split. THEN the final touches were given to each individual platforms. But as I said, EA didn't give Crytek enough time, so these final touches are going to happen through patches and updates.

8-The game is awesome.

9-You're a noob.

10-Go away.

Crysis 2 is not crysis 1

thats why it is a different game, if it makes any difference rename the game.exe and cross of the name on the box art and enjoy the game for what it is,
not what you thought it should be despite massive ammounts of advertising claiming it not to be.

Try not to think. Only a real Crytek fan doesn't think!

Just say "CRYSIS 2 WAS SO AMAZING!", and you'll be a TRUE Crytek fan, lol.
