When I heard Crysis 2 was going to be in NYC, I really thought the open environment gameplay would carry over especially since it was the exact same developers from Crysis and Warhead. I thought we were going to have the option of reaching our destinations by city blocks. For example, if I had to reach Central Park, would I take 51st street or 52nd to start off? If we had up to 2 or 3 different city block routes to choose from, the game would have been much less linear, and actually feel more like the real NYC(if you've been there you know there are ENDLESS routes to reach your destination, it is anything but linear).

everyone did lol
btw, you can buy MP map pack for just 10 bucks!

yeah 10 bucks is nothing for me as well as honor is nothing for CrEAtek
i better get some beer for 10 bucks instead of supporting bugged product just to hear next bunch of promisses that will never be done

Haha i totally agree

^lol you two had the same avatar and for a minute I thought you agreed with yourself...

Anyway for only $9.99 you can get 4 new places for hackers to raqe your game!

Just FYI Crysis and Crysis warhead were not made by the exact same developers. Warhead was made by Crytek's sister company. Cant remember the name off the top of my head.

for 10 bucks i'd rather buy ... hmm wait... tear it into confetti and post it here just to piss of crytek hahahhaha

Having slightly less openness than Crysis doesn't hurt the game one bit.. Now, if you could alter the way the story plays out and not have specific, linear objectives, then open world would be great. Otherwise, it's just a distraction.

Crysis 2 takes the same gameplay feeling of the original and cuts out all the distractions.. Not that a complete open world would hurt the game, it's just the lack of it doesn't make it any worse. They knew from listening to feedback from the first game that they wanted a more focused game for the sequel. (Talking strictly about single player here... Which is perfect the way it is other than a few minor bugs)

wrong.

I was born and raised in New York City. Crysis 2 is NOT AN ACCURATE representation of the city. And just because you stick "CELL WALLS" to cut off sections of the map doesn't make it any bit more realistic (if "my" section is being quarantined, why is that the minute I open fire, CELL soldiers from over-the-wall don't try to hop over and overwhelm me? There's NOTHING behind those walls!!)

Slightly less openness?
Crysis levels are set in a few square miles. Crysis 2 levels have you choose between the left side of the street or the right side.

Same gameplay feeling?
You havnt even played Crysis.

Crysis 1 was just trees everywhere
A city takes much more time to create
I dont blame Crytek for this

if that is correct... so what? i for one rather prefer a large area with forests, fields, towns. insted of a street and a petrol station. if you have ever tried using sandbox 2, the maps are quite more stuffed then you would think. in the editor of crysis 2, a petrol station would.... oh wait

I think, you was childishly optimistic. When I heard that Crysis 2 will be in NYC, I thought that it will be like Half-life 2 in City 17 but bigger than it and with nanosuit. And I got from the game exactly what I thought. Although improved stealth and vertical gameplay surprise me very much.

Warhead was made by Crytek's sister company. Cant remember the name off the top of my head.
Yeah, it was Crytek Hungary.

Do you have a time machine or what? Cause, you know, Crysis 2 shows us New York in 2023.

LOL this isn't GTA, and the game would lagg like hell, if would need to make so many objects...

never knew it, but this is the first thought that came into my head after i started SP...
Crysis and Crysis 2 are too different games that have the only one thing in common - nanosuit and few mentions of old heroes. that's all


Same gameplay feeling?
You havnt even played Crysis.
advise you to try it out
this game still looks more then just awesome
Crysis 1 was just trees everywhere

oh man comon!!! what did create CrEAtek?? skyscraqers on the background drawed with low resolution JPG??? you could say that if you had the same freedom with Crysis 1 but in CITY. yeah that must be just amazing and it take lots of time for creation
but make thin linier streets and decorate with houses on background? nah
MW2 devs did the same but MW2 SP gameplay is just as far from Crysis 2 as the Moon is far from the Earth

WTF?! if crytek could not do it properly they should not have done it at all.

Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead were both linear. Each were like...well basically, using a coreographed sandbox for each level, except the levels were big and the way how Crytek could make Crysis 1 was like this: "Okay we got a few trees. To place a tree in the game, we press right mouse button. *Holds right mouse button and drags it across the whole level.* K, im done with this level "

With Crysis 2, Crytek made it this way: "Okay, we got that building model. Place it here and here. Then we got THAT building model...place it here and here. We got these so many posters to put all over the place. Oh yeah, don't forget we got a bar to make with glasses....and some trucks and..." You see the point im making?

Also, we don't know if the DLC is free or not. Nooooobs lol.

whole post was fail, but this line was epic fail.

I've been to New York a few times and crysis 2 did not feel like new york at all. Everything was too small and linear. And how could they not have a level in central park?? Yeah apparently the ending was in central park but it was basically just chunks of it floating around with a few trees and benches thrown in. And then, you only get to play in less than one half of the area that makes up times square. No driving taxis either. No destructibility of buildings, even if they're made entirely of glass. Too much fake-looking and ugly, unrealistic color grading. I could go on and on, but this game was an insult to a great city. Hopefully eventually another game can do an accurate representation of it.
