So I love Crysis 2 but I cant play the game anymore too many problems and the lagg is horrid, Ive been watching this game and it looks very good does anyone know if it will have dedicated servers or atleast not crappy connections like crysis 2 had becuase im about ready to give up on wasting 60 bucks on games that are broken. Will this game be more promising? if anyone knows comment thanks. (Im not bashing on this game)

I'm not sure about the servers, but I really don't think Crysis 2 had a problem. I never really saw a ton of lag, and lag really isn't what breaks a game.

Oh snap, How about you go on Mycrysis fourms and tell me that again.

When I played the Crysis demo on xbox I didn't have any connection problems. Then again, I only played a handful of games before I raged at the gameplay.

you played the demo not final game. Im talking about the final product was a mess in lagg and glitches

i admit crysis 2 on 360 lagged onme in some games bad and i have a 12mb dowload and 1mb upload connection

This runs on a highly modified version of the iDTech4 engine, the same engine as their last game. So if youre a PC gamer, and if you're that worried, go hop on Quake Wars (I think you can get a free demo) and see if lag is an issue for you.

If youre a console gamer, though, there are no Dedicated servers, so they may have had to change things a bit to get peer to peer to work. The console version of Quake wars is also not a good representation of Splash Damage, as the port was done by another company...poorly.

How would anyone know this? And return your wal-mart router

Dedicated servers are not in Brink. It will be P2P on all platforms.

Until we play the game ourselves, there is no possible way we could know about the connections online.

I'm 99.999% sure there's dedi on PC

Good try but my connection is perfect Running a Csico router and its not from Wal Mart though buddy.

I did say I never saw lag, and that I don't think lag breaks games.

I have the same worry OP.and yes Crysis 2 sux jus because of the lag.

I'm sure they had time to test the lag and fix the problems related with P2P.

I'm not really seeing the relevence here Crysis 2 and Brink are VERY different games, in Crysis 2 I rebooted
(prestiged) twice on stealth kills alone because my crappy 3 mb connection made bullet detection completely
unuseable (point-blank shotguned a guy sitting still 4 times, he turned around and shot me once.....dead). But
Brink is a COMPLETELY different breed, if you can't get kills in Crysis your not going to get anywhere, where as
in Brink you can go an entire match without fireing a shot and do very well for yourself and your team. Simply put
if your connection to a lobby isn't so great don't focus on combat, role a Med/Eng/Op and play support for that game,
hell you may get more exp than you ever did playing combat

Yea I feel you same sutff happen in Crysis for me Hopfully this game will have good connection i like how this is kinda like BFBC2 only better it seems

Crysis 2 was the most frustration I have had in a long time and no this game I feel won't suffer the fate of Crysis 2 because like their previous games it will be relatively bug free. Crysis 2 set a new standard in buggy games and this was not expected from a AAA developer. It was just sad.

I don't know about crysis 2 but Brink is using peer to peer like COD so I except about the same connection or better playing co op, since your friends won't quit and you can have people with the best connection host, also sorry about COD comparison thats the only P2P I know off the top of my head.

by they do you mean SD? cause crysis 2 devs didnt fix anythin from the demo to the actual game...

P2P is fine if it's done well.

SD are a company with proven history making excellent multiplayer games.

I'll be surprised if we have problems.

And to the guy saying "lag doesn't break games" - compare Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood before the patch that came out right before the latest DLC, and after.

It's still playable more than half the time, but it's dropped from 80 - 90% of matches being good down to maybe 60% on a good day.

I think its poor speculation until it drops...

Stop spreading false information, thank you.


BRINK has dediacted servers on PC. Perhaps not for Campaign, because this requires drop-in/out matchmaking, but definately for Freeplay and Stopwatch mode.

Dedicated servers are a definite yes for PC. The front page of the game's official site confirms this. :confused:

As for Crysis 2, I still cannot believe how prejudiced people are toward that game. It's a fantastic single-player experience and a pretty decent multiplayer experience. The MyCrysis forums are full of people who are intent on bashing CryTek for any move they make, and it's actually pretty disgusting to see how determined they are to hate.

The hordes of people saying such hyperbolic absurdities like "Crysis 2 is the worst game ever" for whatever reason lost all their credibility in my eyes.

I know its a bit off topic, but I really didn't think the single player was that amazing at all. The whole fact Alkatraz was just body really miffed me off, didn't get at all connected. And really had to force myself to finish the campaign, not at all compelled.

But I can say that the lag really did kill Crysis for me as a 360 player (with normally really quite good connection)
It was never anything cripling... but always enough to really annoy me and just put me off of the game about 10 hours into multiplayer.
So yeah, I can understand the worry the OP has, unfortunately none of us can really say anything about it.... Yet.

Crysis 2 xbox beta lagged also. I ended up getting that hyped up home front trash instead.
