Why are we defending Crytek? The majority of what I see is people complaining, not appreciating what is, but biching about what isn’t. You want to talk about what is wrong with people - then you may need to step back for a moment. One thing our ancestors understood all too well was that there was no such thing as instant gratification, yet you have a ton of people wanting just that (go play online and watch the hacking begin, then argue with me). What our ancestors understood was you had to work for things and good things come in time.

The problem here is not necessarily Crytek's development team, which I am sure have been working night and day to fix these issues, but EA who pushed the deadline, the investors who placed pressure on the developers management staff and pressure to release before it was 100% ready. This is where today's corporate greed comes smashing head on with a development cycle. Most of the time neither win, but corporate never seems to get the message. You have people that understand business and does not understand the first things about coding and bringing a product to market properly. There has always been that fight between the technical side and the corporate side, the corporate that pays the bills, holds the cards, and says how things are to be, pushes the development side to push the product out ASAP. So once it is released, now you have a ton of developers cramming 10-20 hour days each until things are fixed. Not only do you have to fix these things, but then you have to test them so you do not have a new flood of "WTF's" from the users that do not really understand what is happening behind the scenes, adding more pressure from corporate to get out a fix which the developers are trying to find time to fix, test and get released. Again, causing the spiral downwards. This is big business people - learn WTF is going on b4 you start crying foul and pointing fingers!

People that are defending Crytex are cheap people playing crap computers? LMFAO - stfu you little twit, Frank (Frank N. Stein)dominates 99% of the PC's out there right now. I am putting my money where my mouth is and I am not happy that I am missing all my eye candy settings either, but I am mature enough and have enough industry knowledge to know wtf is really going on and this bashing of Crytek is not conducive to a positive response. I know patches are coming, I know that once they do I will be viewing this game like few others will be able to for quite some time. So walk on home boy (as Pantera so eloquently put it)!

Constructive criticism - any one ever heard of that?

You can tell the mature, long time, and hard core gamers. Those are the one that leave feedback as constructive criticism because they want to make it better, they want to give input and direction from their perspective. biching, whining, complaining, cursing at the development company does nothing but show the maturity level of the writer. If you have something constructive to say, then speak up. If all you are going to do is put down and bich - stfu and go play COD online or something and let's wait for the Crytek team to get things fixed.

Has any of you complainers ever developed a product for the masses? Have you ever tried to anticipate if Joe or Mary has this or that driver on their PC that is going to FK up everything? Have you ever released a product that did have bugs, only to be pressured to get it fixed, pushed to get it out without proper development cycle protocols and then it falls flat? AS the Indians would say "Walk a mile in my moccasins" - until you have been there, done that, and KNOW what is happening, constructive criticism is all you can do that would HELP the developers fix their issues so we all have a game worthy of playing online and in campaign. It seems most of the issues are online related, so while they fix that, go try the campaign - 10 hours of pure fun!

With that said - sit back, relax and enjoy the campaign - that works well IMO and I spent 3 days blasting my way through it having one hell of a good time. That is after all why we play GAMES!

Remember people - this is a GAME - not life. If it has issues, Crytek has not simply sat on their hands and said FK U, they are working to ensure we have a product we can play. Until it is released to the masses, you cannot nor will not ever be able to identify all the issues; this is why there is ALWAYS patches for software. This is not life or death or DoD software, it is a freaking game. I am also a HUGE fan of Crysis, I was also let down by things not being what I wanted them to be, but at the end of the day it is a game, I had one great time in the campaign, and now I will wait for the patches.

This is a hobby, work, and gaming machine. I did not upgrade just for Crysis 2- but I most certainly had it in mind and wanted to ensure I owned it this time around instead of like Crysis 1 which still pwn's most people's PC's today!

TBH I hated that tank battle in Crysis 1. It really wasn't that big of a deal.......it was just a very slow slow SLOW part of the campaign and I couldn't wait to end it. Same goes for VTOL mission (OH **** THAT MISSION! Worst mission of the game).

Uhhhh, it wasn't faced paced, because it would have been BORING IF IT WAS FAST PACED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's actually more exiting if your not blowing up something every second. The openness, the visuals and the scale of the level made it feel real, and knowing that you could get shot from anywhere, and that you should take your time made it exiting.

Because if it wasn't UBER EPIC fast paced like the Crysis 2 APC where your shooting down stuff every nano second and driving in one predefined direction, then it might not sell well on the Wii and on the Wii mini.

Console gamers might get lost in the jungle.

And while you are at talking about the intense stuff in the first two games, don't forget me to remind you that Crysis 2 is epic in...hmmm....well basically everything after the first few levels....or I should say first few 30 minutes....

Errr. Consant action =/= exiting.

In COD Black Ops Down, you get to shoot something every second, and you get turbo perks, it's so EPIC!!!



I'm not defending Crytek, I'm just telling all of the rude bastards to be more polite or shut the **** up.
LOL, they should take after your example.

Crytek ALREADY CONFIRMED that they will fix all of the issues, GIVE DX11, GIVE advanced graphical options

Proof or it didn't happen...

LMFAO Some of you guys clearly think you're the **** and are mad and jealous
that games run better on my system including crysis/warhead:D
Mad jealous you say?

Is your IQ dropping as time progresses? Every new thing you say seems less and less intelligible then the previous. You need to allow time for your suit to recharge it's maximum think mode.

LOL you guys bich and moan wost than my chick on the rag
The most intellectually engaging edit in the history of edits.

The edit to end all edits.

Wait, are you trying to say that the rocks and soup cans in Crysis 1 have lower res textures then reloading the SCAR's grenade launcher attachment in Crysis 2? That's absurd!

The 1stCav - you still didn't address the issue of of those of us who STILL can't login. After paying as much as I did for my copy, don't you think I at LEAST deserve to be able to try it?

No, because the soup cans in Crysis 1 have lower res textures then reloading the SCAR's grenade launcher attachment in Crysis 2.

Obviously i got under you skin why else would you feel the need to try to Belittle Me with such sophisticated pvssyr

LMFAO people like you are so easy to decipher

Well, I'm not exactly trying to be the riddler here, but I basically did just unbunk your trunk in the third degree.

Crysis 1 Rocks

Why are you defending Crytek?

COS THEY ARE **** AWESOME. <3

^....Lol

One Gunner, I'm guessing those that didn't play the game are the same ones that criticized Crysis 2 on it's many faults. Boring ass Crysis? Remember the tank battle level? On that big open field? I guess that doesn't compare to driving the APC on that fixed highway level in Crysis 2... Remember the last level of Warhead? When **** got real?

And why do you have SSD drives in a RAID 0 configuration?

Haha good one

The reason for defending Crytek is because of this--->BEING A TRUE FAN

FYI, Crysis 2 isn't done yet. EA hasn't given Crytek enough time to finish. THAT'S WHY THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN THE GAME.

You idiots criticizing aren't helping. You guys are ignorant and are turning these forums to ****. We don't need **** assholes like you biches. Crytek ALREADY CONFIRMED that they will fix all of the issues, GIVE DX11, GIVE advanced graphical options, AND GIVE Sandbox Editor 3 sometime in the Summer. >_<"

BUT INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING THIS DEVELOPER, you **** assholes just hate and hate. Crytek poured blood, sweat, and tears into this game, and the result is amazing and can be seen with the epic campaign and engaging multiplayer (if it works for you. Servers need to be fixed, they are overflowed and are getting crowded like nobody's business. BUT they are still better than when Black Ops or some **** first came out).

This is almost as bad as hating Zack Snyder because svcker Punch was a flop. The guy is an amazing director, yet he messes up! So what!? One mistake means he's crap? **** that, that's just pure ignorance. And as a matter of fact, since EA is the reason for Crysis 2 not being bug-free and complete, IT'S NOT EVEN CRYTEK'S FAULT for these flaws!!

If you are a fan of Crytek and Crysis, do stay on the forums and CALMLY express your complaints and do constructive criticism....otherwise, GET THE **** OFF, we don't need bichy whiny teenagers crying with hate.
A true fan = more like a fanboy it is :p it doesnt matter.. OP is right, altho his metaphores were far fetched; the man has a point.. people have the right to complain and people should stand up for them selves.. if EA is a such a douche bag of a company, why is crytek still doing business with them? i mean they could easily join bethesda, 2K, THQ and rockstar.. the fact that they arent saying anything about the upcoming patches and fixes is really annoying and is what makes all these people complaining.. IF they said that they werent gonna support dx11 at launch, they wouldve lost a few sales, but people wouldnt have been complaining about all of these stuff.. both EA and Crytek are HUGE douche bags at the moment and they HAVE alot to make up..

and to op +1

Quoted for truth. It amazes me the way that people defending Crysis 2. It reminds me of Hellgate: London with its fanatical fanbase who would violently shout down anyone who dared to question the game's integrity. We all know that game's fate (spoiler alert: It went down in flames and is no longer played by anyone)

That said, this game is a failure. Crytek has failed. Blaming it on EA doesn't make things any better as well. Also, if we're to use your lovely example with the director Silent... you're trying to tell me that a single amazing game qualifies someone as having a "legacy of excellence"? That's just stupidity.

It's not too hard to inform the people that they are addressing issue. Why wasn't that sticky where they say they're working on it posted sooner? It takes all of a few seconds to post that. Instead they went on with silence, which caused more issues. It would appear Crytek's programmers are also their PR people judging by the success they've had in both areas.

Anyway, another +1 for the original poster. He makes a good point. You want to defend Crysis 2 and Crytek? Go for it. However you're only going to drive more people away and chip away at Crytek's fanbase/income by being douche bags about it.

I'm taking it you didn't read any of the posts after that, including the one where I came up with a good reason to have them in RAID 0.

Precedents don't really exist here do they? That's why the same question get's asked and answered, the same topic brought up 12 times in a row with no semblance of long term recollection...

Ye i did read the post where you`ve explained raid vise.

The ones defending Crytek are Crytek employees and people who haven't touched the MP.

The MP is broken like ****, still in early beta phase. I didn't buy Crysis @ launch for the the SP, I bought it for the MP, because I enjoyed the demo (it actually worked!). I now regret buying the game at all because I can't play MP without being disconnected and losing my perks/levels (and yes I only play on ranked servers).

I paid $60 for a beta and if you bought Crysis 2, so did you.

I agree.I also payed 52€ for the darn thing,just because i thought that i would get SB3, real fun MP experience,and replay-ability in SP,but i was wrong cause MP is buggy as hell,SP is linear and i can only dream of SB3
Im not a graphics fanatic,so in that terms i was satisfied with how the game looks.All in all,if i count in pluses and minuses i score this game 5/10.

Gunner just needs to recharge his nano thinking cap, he's been using it too much lately and he need's to unlock the MP perk that allows him to recharge it faster.

This. Poor Gunner needs validation from this forum because mommy and daddy don't give him enough. Probably from a family full of abuse. Maybe divorce too. Nano suit won't fix that hahaha

Wondered when the "why are you defending?" threads would pop up. Go ahead and cue the defending defender threads. Then we'll all have to ask why people are defending the defenders...

Also, quit feeding the trolls.

I wasn't gonna go that far neilthecellist, jeez, lol.

He just needs to press start to begin so he can crouch and recharge his nano cap upgrades.
