So...what's the point of continuing past Level 39?

Post » Sat Sep 05, 2009 5:24 am

So I finally got to Level 39 and unlocked the last of the guns I'm interested in (and was pretty disappointed in the lack of upgrades...how about a focusing system for the X43 Mike to increase range or something...anything..).

Anyway - what now?

Crysis is fun, but I'm finding myself struggling with the 'So What?'. Sure, I could push for Level 50, but there isn't much sense of satisfaction to be had given all the hackers/exploiters out there. I could try to get all the tags and assessments, but let's face it - they're pretty much useless (except as a faster route to get to L50..).

I don't mean this to come across as a whine, but am I missing something? Is there some benefit to moving ahead towards Level 50 that I've missed? Some cool gun, ability, a rainbow coloured Nanosuit - anything? Or after a certain point does it just become about the XP and the numbers?

And if it is just about the numbers, maybe we could prevail upon our digital overlords to clean up the damn Leaderboard. It doesn't take much to auto-filter out the obvious cheaters out, and it just gives them something to point to and brag about.

Honestly the 'solo player' fun dries out when you finish unlocking everything, weather your happy with whatever you have at a given level is somewhat your own personal path. I do say that I found once I did reach 50 reboot was out of the question, so for awhile I thought I was somewhat done with the game till I found that playing with friends raised the bar significantly. The solo fragfest dried out but when you add in the blast of playing with friends and the teammodes (Ctf, Crashsite) I find that having a squad buddy makes the fun seem to last forever.


I hit 50 at about 40-50 hours of gameplay, I've racked up the hours to about 120 now.

I just like the competition, so levels don't really matter to me. I DO, however, like stats & as such Rebooting is out of the question ATM. You guys know if the stat-wipe was intended or something that Crytek is going to address?

Isn't there an Achievement for reaching level 50 in Multiplayer?
That would probably be the only reason to keep pushing for level 50, though, if everything is unlocked at level 39.

why do you constantly need a carrot dangled in front of your face to have fun? Crysis 2 itself is fun....not leveling up and unlocking junk. I'm lvl 39 but i've had my preferred loadout since like lvl 20. I just play because its badass!
