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.

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
