Hey,

Here is a link from a youtube commentator discussing the various issues of the game especially after patch 1.02.

Enjoy,

TB

I have to agree with one thing in particular that he said... This is in fact the last FPS game I will ever buy that doesn't come with dedicated servers. Regardless of how fantastic C3 or MW3 is.... I'm not buying it without dedicated servers. **** this P2P garbage.

yea same, i've had it with P2P, soo happy gears 3 is dedicated servers! <3
and if CoD can't afford dedi servers with their billion $ game then they can **** off

What I found interesting is when he said the a lot of games now are being released with problems and it's becoming a trend, and that we will sOon be moving towards not the best games but the ones with the least problems. Take Homefront, s**t game but has less problems than most so it is popular.

This is not a step in the right direction. My MP hopes for this year is if C2 doesn't deliver on patches and DLC then it will be BF3 and perhaps MW3 (if they step their game up). I like the SP on MW2, but found the MP infuriating so left it soon after trying. I gave BLOPS a chance but the connection issues were horrendous, much worse than C2. Evert death I felt was BS and it's all about "who see's who first and camping". I have rarely ever got as angry in my entire life than when playing that game. It felt good trading that in.

I don't mind P2P if it works well, C2 doesn't nor did BLOPS. Halo: Reach worked well from this little experience I had of it.

Dedicated Servers are the future, it's 2011 - we want 2011 technology.

Black ops had bad connections for like 3 days and they fixed it. I can't say "Best connections ever" since I only play from my own house... but for me... black ops connections are really really good. I rarely get less than 3bar connections. I still want better tho.. It's an FPS game, I don't want to play above a ping of 60.

BF3 is now the game I'm waiting on... I'll definitely try MW3 assuming they have dedicated servers. Going to trade in crysis2 here in a couple days (if they don't release one massive **** patch) and pick up BFBC2 and play it till bf3.

I disagree that connections were fixed in three days, I played it a vouple months after release and they were still crap. I haven't played it since January and apparently they have released more patches but I found the game boring anyway regardless of connections. We can agree to disagree on this point.

I do agree on picking up BFBC2 - I haven't played this before but I have seen youtube videos and it looks good and my friends are always raving on about it so if I will might get my FPS fix there, I like the strategy element and the obvious Battlefield environment.

C2 is my first real console shooter, I was never a fan of shooters since I used to play C&C Renegade on PC many years ago. Console MP's seem to be rubbish for the most part from what I've seen, Halo apparently are the only ones that seem to do a good job. The Networking, Migrations, Matchmaking was exemplary and the communication with their fans was above expectations.

Halo reach and black ops were my first two on consoles. I hated them with a passion at first because it took me forever to learn to aim with anolog sticks instead of a mouse. Black ops gameplay is fun most of the time, but with 3 bullet kills and kill streaks like dogs and chopper gunners it just made every little kid camp for killstreaks. I really think kill streaks and statistics are the biggest problem with that game.

Would love to see BF3 come out with no stats. Or at least no stats revolving around K/D. People consider high K/D to be an accomplishment, but really you're only competing against other players that care about K/D. Many 3kd players just simply don't care. I can go 2-3kd every game I play if I actually try to. I just prefer not to unless I'm in a game mode where it matters like TDM. I'm a run-n-gunner at heart. Played Quake1(team fortress) and CS1.6 for years. So this K/D whoring and camping **** is beyond boring and I just can't even understand why people play this way.

I'll die in order to help my teammate get a flag out of the enemy base whereas a bich ass K/D player will watch him die from a distance and use him as bait so his K/D doesn't go down .01. It's really lame.

Whether its P2P or Dedicated Servers.....both still have the potential to be a mess if the wrong support infrastructure is put in place for the games, recently Homefront with dedicated servers was a mess on launch and with Crysis 2, the simple fact a region filter wasnt used has caused issues for so many gamers in many countries

P2P can work fine if correctly used and planned, Crytek simply took it for granted that global connections can play fine together....and were wrong, and their slow lacklustre support to provide fixes and patches for the game has shown that good intentions mean naff all in the real world, this site alone is almost redundant because the depts behind the game dont provide information for the moderators here to share with us, so you get constant "i have a problem" and "where the f is my patch" threads and nothing but empty meaningless generic responses from Admins like Cry-Tom and Cry-Adam

+1

this man speaketh the truth

Homefront only had problems with their dedicated servers because they didn't put up enough servers to handle the load. Either they went the cheap route or the person in charge of estimating the amount of servers they would need **** up. Either way, near the end of the first week of release the servers had gotten drastically better. By week2 the dedicated servers were great. Wish crytek would have had dedicated servers.... or someone on their development team with the ability to realize that connecting to hosts more than 600 miles away is too damn far.

To add to my last post.... Homefront developers really make this company look like ****. If you played homefront from day1, you could go to their webpage and the very first thing you would see is "Sorry, we know the servers are running poorly, we're working around the clock to put up new servers, bare with us." And they actually did. Had enough servers up to handle the load in like... 9 days?

Crytek may want to take notes.

Too true, I hate the K/D kids that want to proclaim their superiority through statistics, which only exist because they dashboard when they are having a **** game.

I was also addicted to Quake and CS 1.6, and I've had an Xbox360 since release and have played alot of the FPS's, that is were I get out all of my competetive urges (since I don't game on PC anymore and can't get my Dota fix). There are a few MPers coming out this year i really like the look of, Alice:The Madness Returns (American Mcgee), Rage (Bethesda + ID, that is if they get the MP they have been hinting at working), Brink looks interesting, Hunted for Co-op MP, Bioshock:Infinite (if it actually gets released this year, which I doubt) and of course BF3 which will melt my face if it works to the degree it is expected.

Looks to be a killer year for gaming anyway.

This.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who will gladly buy servers to host rounds for Crysis 2. If the option is presented.

There is a detailed list of what companies provide servers for payment - If anyone is interested in it I will dig up the thread and repost it.

The incorporation of a solid network infrastructure for game engine allows the flexibility of choosing P2P or dedicated servers. Halo's engines are heavily designed for really good P2P connections while other games may not share the same exact benefit, then alternative will be dedicated servers. I believe the Crysis 2 is designed for dedicated servers since PC version supports it, why not implement for consoles and let us enjoy low ping and smoother gameplay?

Just like posts above said, be take small issues for granted, later they become serious problem. I presume Crytek did internal test for international connections, and I wander what were their results that made them decide oh lets go for P2P for consoles, cheap solution

If I could pay a company $20-40 dollars a month to host all of my games like PC gamers do with their servers, I'd absolutely do it. I ping 25-30 to data centers in chicago and atlanta. That'd be great. Unfortunately I doubt that option would ever come around for individuals

Ever think they are busier fixing the game rather than replying to the upteenth thread about how people are worrying about a patch or fixing the game?

Personally If I was a game dev and I came on here and seen thread after thread after thread about the same thing I to would really lack the urge to communicate with these people. I gave you information from Cry - Rich who told me the developers do not engage with the forum directly and use YOUTUBE as a big reference point for bugs and glitches which I really thought would spur people on into creating videos of their problems rather than creating unsubstantiated thread after thread.

In summary if you can make a video of your problem and post it on these forums, get the collective community on here to thumb it up so the Crytek devs will find it because Rich said its their primary bug finding source.

Stop moaning, Get recording......well if you really care about this game and your not some unloved child looking for attention.


TEN HUT!



MOVE OUT!

Wish I had a capture card or a video recorder as I would have posted my particular migrating session issue straight of the bat, plus an amusing montage of the AI doing stupid thing to the Benny Hill theme music....

good intentions

"das gegenteil von gut ist gut gemeint" (k tucholsky)

"the opposite of "good" is "good intentions"."

true.

So now we have to buy ￡150+ HD PVR's now to get this game sorted? lol

Why wouldn't they use the forum text as a reference point also? Yes, when it comes to certain bugs and glitches it may be better to explain in video format. However, there are many suggestions/problems that haven't been mentioned on youtube. How do I know this? I use youtube a lot and seen most C2 reviews. This forum is rich in content, despite the idiot threads here and there. If they implemented 50% of the good on this forum the game would be A LOT better.

I do agree that making the same threads repeatedly is got to be a waste of time and must be annoying for anyone rummaging through them. But in regards to "I to would really lack the urge to communicate with these people". IMO if they adopted this type of child mentality then that's plain pathetic. Thinking "there saying nasty things about me because I made mistakes so I'm not going to help them any more", is again pathetic.

I'm hoping that they are not this pathetic and finally deliver.

Why did your arguments go from intelligent to fanboy so fast? Did they put you on the payroll? They wouldn't have to reply to any of these threads if they simply put a thread at the top of the forum with useful information letting us know what's going on and when to expect a fix. Updating a thread every couple days to ensure their customers that they are actually doing something is not difficult and isn't too much to ask. This is just.... common sense to every other game developer. Want to get rid of all the duplicate threads biching about no patch information? Well then make a thread about it and keep it updated and informed. Easy.

Simply writing an email to Cry-Adam saying "tell them this" would put a stop to the majority of it. I certainly wouldn't be posting about it anymore... I'd probably never read another thread, I'd just check the sticky once a day. We're talking about five minutes worth of work communication to the hundreds of thousands of people that bought this game. It's not a lot to ask.

edit: double post

Its so very easy to sling around the fanboy insult isnt it?

You have no clue what your talking about pal so dont jump to conclusions and yes my day job is managing babies like you......frig I wouldnt accept any amount of money for this.

I explained to you how to contructively do something about this game rather than monaing and biching and complaining about it, it appears your so caught up in your negativity to do anything contructive about it.

YES im pissed off about the bugs aswell but its happened and we cant reverse time and id rather deal with the problems we have rather than whining about them. I explained how to do that and if retaining a positive outlook instead of a negative one makes me a fanboy well il go out and tattoo it on my arse just to make you happy.

There are two types of people in this world, those that talk about it and those that do something about it, which are you?

Oh look, more personal attacking....clap clap clap....such impressive internet showcasing of man hood lol

Are you capable of discussing anything without resorting to playground style insults....I doubt it
