So, I've played around a bit, oly managing to rank up because of "lucky" kills, but I would like to know if there are any tips to get better. This is my first time playing Crysis 2 ever, and I really enjoy the game, but, it seems in-game, I will be running and sneak up on someone and think i'm shooting them, but it takes 5 seconds for me to kill them if even and 1 second for him to kill me, i would like to know what things I should do to improve, and what things I should do in game. if you don't want to help, dont comment please. Thank you in advance!

I think you should start by watching how others play and find your own play style your comfortable with.

A lot of people play differently in this game because of the stealth and armor modes plus the different modules that comes with them. For example, I'm mostly a stealth guy but have 2 varying styles that go with that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5CpGy5lShY&feature=player_detailpage <<<< This is me playing with modules that benefit moving quickly and stealthily. While this style does give me lots of kills, I usually end up with more deaths than my other custom build.

The other one focuses more on being able to kill easier and small-long range combat while having stealth for quick escapes.

These are my 2 best style of playing but other players prefer armoring up and hunting cloaked players which knocks out my first.

But as a general tip:

1. Never stay in one spot for too long(10secs at most).
2. Determine which direction the enemy will likely come from.
3. Try and use all your suit abilities to the utmost (Like tagging enemies with visor).

Also if your using SCAR and it still takes you a little longer for you to kill opponents then you might wanna check if you are lagging or have high ping.

Thank you, yes, I bought the Limited Edition Crysis 2, so it came with the Scar, and I have one upgrade on it i think for extra ammo. I always seem to be out of energy too! xD Thank you for your help though. Not many veterans want to help lower tier players, so I really thank you for this

You say that you're usually low on energy...
I have one suggestion: Only jump when you need to. Don't mindlessly bunny hop around the map.
Also, whenever you change cover or just want to move somewhere else, turn on your cloak. You'll remain unseen as long as your energy lasts.

When your energy runs out hide in a corner to recharge before stepping out blindly

Yeah it will be hard at the beginning. I always felt energy ran out too fast. You'll find it much better after you upgrade/unlock your modules. Esp those that reduce energy usage like mobility enhance, armour enhance and stealth enhance upgraded to level 3. Think of the kind of playstyle you have and choose the modules best suited to that style unlock and upgrade them first.

Other things which I personally do:
Map nano vision key to mouse 4/5 button so u can quickly switch in and out of it to catch sneaky stealth guys
Don't fire at every damn target you see. Only shoot when you're certain you have an open shot and a good chance to kill someone you spotted. I spend most of my time stealthed and many players do. You also die fast in this game. When you fire even with a silenced weapon many things give you away and an enemy is often cloaked nearby. Shooting and exposing yaself without killing someone is sure to get you a low k/d ratio.
When you can, unstealth or armor up before firing. It stops ya energy going to 0 when you fire from stealth and will allow u to cloak or run away after the kill

Edited for gramma and clarity

I remember the time when I had low class modules.

It really helped me build up to being energy efficient so much that I actually feel like nano-recharge and energy transfer is giving me unlimited energy.

Plus I loved the holo-decoy, it works so well.

You guys are scuh a great help, I hope tomorrow when I get o I will remember everyone's help here and play better. I appreciate everyones' advice and I'll let you know how it goes. Night(:

Technically, there are not many people that are super skilled at the game or are veterans since the game is so new.

I tend to get top scores a lot. My advice: Aim for the head, do skill assessments, and ALWAYS be aware. If you need to reload, go into cloak. If you can't find ANYONE and you're running randomly, go into cloak, because you're out in the open. And be accurate. If you miss two shots, that might mean you lose the fire fight. Accuracy is key.

And try to use different weapons online. Experiment to find your best one. I love using the Marshall for example, so I play in close range fire fights mainly. If you're a mid to a little long range person, go for the scar or scarab. If you like to shoot from a distance but not sniper distance, use the grendal. If you want to snipe, snipe.

Also, Majestic is overrated and K-Volt is underrated. Just sayin'....

A lot of new Players will find the random re-spam/spawn, hyper-speed arcade play, compounded with all the RPG magic weapon buffs, and map knowledge/tricks just too ridiculous a challenge of patience as a reasonable entry point to find enjoyable, fun or rewarding in any way.

Thankfully there's Assault Mode that offers short, one-life, tactically deep game-play that eschews all the Casino/Arcade 'special prize' for a 'special boy' magic casnio rewards for kills, and focuses on game-play.

Assault Mode still rolls with the steep learning curve of any Crysis MP mode, with the added skill based challenges of assymetrical game-play, one-life, and a time limited objective. Assault Mode rolls all Players on a much more level playing field where skill prevails over 'special prize boy' weapons (as there are only three standard loadouts available per team), if you die early from your folly, you get plenty spectator time (but not too much) that you can not only learn from your mistakes, but from the examples of others and better understand the game.

Even if you like the other 'magic casino special prize boy' game-modes more the Assault Mode, you can still use Assault Mode as a good place to start, and to learn the dynamics of the game, and you still get magic bouns points for magic special weapon prizes and gay weapon bs you can use in the other gay, er game modes....

Dude, what?

Don't feel like reading everyone's posts, but I doubt anyone would mention this.

Some people do power jumps the moment they get shot, it only works on noobs and rarely on pros if you're lucky.
When someone power jumps, their hitbox becomes WAAAAY fugged up. So it allows them to dodge a few bullets, yes, but a pro would just aim their crosshair right on the spot of where you're going to land, and the moment you touch the ground, you're immediately dead. And when you're power jumping, YOUR own shooting also fugs up, as in your bullets won't go to where you're shooting. For the most part, it's a huge gamble.

So in short, be a bunny when you're facing noobs, but I'd advice against that when you see a pro that knows what they're doing.

You could abuse power jumps better if you're using the Marshall, though. The Marshall's hit detection is very iffy, and more so when you're in power jump or when the opponent is power jumping. From my experience with using the Marshall, also confirmed by the ridiculous deathcams I've seen, if you're shooting with the Marshall while power jumping, you only need to AIM IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION of your enemy and you'll land hits. As in, your crosshair doesn't have to be anywhere near them. <-WTFBBQ. Vice versa, if your opponent is power jumping, you only need to aim in their general direction and you'll hit them. In other words, if you abuse Marshall with power jumping or if your opponent's dumb enough to power jump while fighting against a Marshall, there's no aim involved, just shoot in the general direction.
The Marshall's hit detection is pretty bad when you aim normally, but waaay too generous during power jumps. Is that Crytek's way of balancing the weapon? That's quite a retarded idea... If I see a bunch of bunnies with the Marshall after this post, I'm going to hate myself.
They oughta fix this soon (not likely), Marshall + power jump exploit is pretty h0m0 imho, but all things considered that weapon doesn't have that much range, so it's not too annoying.

To summarize all that again, abuse power jump on noobs, don't use it on a pro. Or be an asshole abusing the Marshall + power jump combo, there's going to be some hate directed to you, or should I say A LOT of hate. Seeing that you're hitting them without aligning your crosshair into them will also make people think you're hacking, but whatever it's in the game.

I can already sense somebody about to bash me saying that Marshall + power jump isn't BS at all, but don't hate on me, I'm just reporting what I've done and what I've seen.

Take your e-peen elsewhere, this is supposed to be a helpful thread.

Practise in the unranked servers and get some skilles from their. Then move onto the ranked servers. It's all I can say to you
