One thing i didnt see in the crysis multiplayer trailers were vehicles. Did they remove tanks and planes and the purchasing system? That made me sad cause WMD's and Alien weapons made Crysis 1 fun...

They removed them to accommodate consoles.

Not true, Bad Company 2 had vehicles and large map design even on consoles, it's just a design choice.

Not really a bad choice either. The first game basically had a multiplayer with two generic shooter game modes and Power Struggle. Which was slightly, only very slightly unique with a points system that was a direct copy from Counter Strike. That's it. Everything else was just courtesy of the SP.

Frankly, vehicles can ruin a game. Vehicles in Call of Duty wouldn't work. Why? 'cause the game's designed to be a fight-ground, not battleground. Similarly, Crysis 2 is also set to be a fight-ground, as opposed to battleground. Which also means no vehicles that the user can specifically control, such as tanks. It simply wouldn't make sense.

As to which one is better... Well, if you compare the sales of CoD and Battlefield, then it becomes pretty apparent that the masses prefer a fight-ground. As such, a very good fight-ground game will be significantly better than a half-assed battleground game (First Crysis). Actually, it might very well be a much better game than most other games. Given, of course, that it is very well made.

Crysis 1 MP was mediocre, at the very, very best. In all honesty, it was actually terrible. Everything about it was terrible (with the exception of the nanosuit which, as I said before, is a courtesy of the SP).

I don't quite see how some people can still play that game, but I feel sorry for whoever is.

I was mostly referring to the purchasing system. Even still, vehicles are a rarity in console shooters. There's really only Halo and a bunch of other isolated cases.

I'm sorry to hear that you svck at playing Crysis, but there's no need to bash it just because you do.

hey hark, stop flaming at peoples OPINIONS. Ever heard of opinions? Here is a wiki link for you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion

Hey bloody, did you not read THIS line of his post: "I don't quite see how some people can still play that game, but I feel sorry for whoever is."

He started flaming first. Please learn to read before jumping to conclusions.

Thats his opinion. HE feels sorry. He is not going around telling you that your a idiot for playing it! Thats flaming.

I never called him an idiot. Again, learn to read, please.

Yeh, they're going in a different direction. That doesn't make it inherently bad though.

I never called him an idiot. Again, learn to read, please.
Your right, your just attacking his skills at a game.

Thats not better.

and he attacked people's tastes in regards to games. He was pretty much asking for it by saying Crysis multiplayer svcks on a Crysis forum. You claim that you don't hate me and yet you try your hardest to find faults in my posts. Please grow up.

stupid forum didnt post my message

Are you two a married couple or something? Please say yes, because otherwise it would mean that you're actually serious.

Well, in case you are serious... OK then. The first Crysis had a brilliant multiplayer. It was the best multiplayer game ever created. It was so popular, the servers needed to be restricted, so they wouldn't crash from the load. Is that what you wanted to hear? Well, there, I said it. Feel happy now? I said it svcks because, well, it does svck. Have you got any proof of it not being terrible? Because, frankly, I have proof of it being terrible. That proof is the lack of players in Crysis MP and Crysis Wars. Right now and back when it was released. Even then there weren't many players. You want to take a wild guess as to why that was the case?

Crysis community or not, everyone knows the previous Crysis MP games have been crap. And as I've said before, anyone who believes otherwise is only fooling themselves. I wouldn't be saying it and it wouldn't touch your nerve like that if it wasn't true. I think you know I'm right and that's why you're acting like this.

As for my Crysis skills, well, I was actually pretty good at it when I did play it. More often than not, ending up either the best player of the match or at the very least, on the top 3 spots.

sorry to hear that.
well honestly you are missing a great thing in my opinion.
in my opinion, i thought the power struggle mode was the best in crysis MP.
i found it more fun than deathmatch. i looked at crysis deathmatch....and i was like pfff.....deathmatch....ahhhhhhh......same old same old.....tried it....i found it okay...wasn't too much addicting. so i tried power struggle, now that...i found it more fun to play and interesting.
crysis mp was fun tbh. the nanosuit functions were both fun and frustrating to use in MP.
i would have like more MP modes in crysis though;something that make us utilize our nanosuit to the fullest.:S
donno why you don't like it....or why people say it has bad MP.....but meh...who cares....
it's not like i will stop playing just cause they say it svcks or so.....
it's like telling me bittergourd/marmite (which i love so much btw)taste **** so stop eating bittergourd/marmite....haha and like i would listen to tht.rofl.
~as long as I like it, i'm fine with it...ur opinion is deem void~:P

Popularity does not equal quality. Way to show your ignorance, bud. Crysis has excellent multiplayer because of Power Struggle, the suit modes, and weapon customization. You call it a mediocre version of Battlefield, I call it vastly superior to Battlefield. There is a lot more to Crysis. The only similarities are big maps and vehicles.

I just hope the Bros keep the the no soup for you server up

Nope and that's not what I said either. UNpopularity, however, is another story. If you think the first Crysis MP is vastly superior to Battlefield's... WAIT, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, calling me ignorant. Very funny, indeed. No, not really. But I'll play along.

actually, when it comes to multiplayer, popularity does mean quality. plus, other than the stuf from sp, it really seems like a half assed multiplayer, the vehicles lag like a bich, theres at least one hacker per game, and half the time you are just spraying at your oponent, that doesnt sound very fun to me

No. Let's say that popularity is the amount of people who play or are aware of the game. Popularity means that the the game was well advertised - thus it is well-known and popular. Your assumption is based on the implication that a game will be more well-known if the game is of good quality. A game can be popular and of bad quality - the two are not mutually exclusive. Thus, because the contrapositive of the implication that your argument is based on is not true (if a game is not of good quality it is not popular), your argument that if a game is popular, it is of good quality, is not logically sound.

TL;DR

Popularity doesn't equal quality. You can sell a **** game to a lot of people and it doesn't magically make it better.

Wait, you claimed you were very good at the game and yet you claim that half the time you are just spraying at your opponent? When was the last time you played the multiplayer? Hop onto a server with skilled players, not noobs. As for vehicles lagging, it's called the internet. If you have a high ping, you lag. Hackers are a rare sight for me, are you sure you're not mistaking good skill for hacking?

to dj iceman, i dont know why you keep bringing this up when there is already a few pages discussing that, with you on it, i guess you have fun starting flame wars and whatsoever, its also called trolling btw
and on your unpopular = bad quality, have you thought for a moment that there are a lot of reasons for crysis being unpopular than just the quality:
there is the learning curve that most ppl hate and end up quiting
the advertisemant of this game was almost none
the general thinking about crysis is that 'ZOMG u need a 5000€ pc to run tha ****' and 'crysis is just for graphics' so many ppl dont even care to try the mp
the anticheat protection was so poor that sometimes it was more like a hack fest than anything else which also makes ppl quit
with C1 one of the probs is that there were almost only huge maps so some pp didnt like that and quit right in the beginning
and so on...
so yeah, the game svcked cause crytek didnt solve any of this issues but the game in itself is actually good, thats also one of the reasons most ppl were expecting a improved version of this game instead of this completely different thing C2 will be
