Do you think Crysis 2 is better than Black Ops or Homefront?

Post » Tue Dec 02, 2008 6:53 pm

I've recently got over my addiction to call of duty and perfect timing cause Crysis 2 brought me back to the Playstation 3.

Basically what the title say, do you think Crysis 2 could beat Black Ops or Homefront or any other fps?
Why?
What needs to be improved to beat those games?



My opinion:
I believe that Crysis 2 feels a bit like CoD4 with a little Halo in it. It has clearly turned me off from Black Ops.

Homefront MP is discouraging at best. It's a great style, setup, good enough graphics, etc. game but, the party system is broken. You can't get into games with two or more people (in my experience). I quit playing Black ops a while ago until the map pack came out. That didn't last me long. Crysis 2 is good, damn good.

I love the game, and am doing great at the MP, just the lag is killing me :(

Yesterday was great and I only had a 1-bar for a 1 out of 12 games, the rest were either 2 or 3. Today, I have been on a 1-bar nearly ever game. I hate losing fights that I would easily win because the person is 3 second ahead of me so I end up dying before I had even shot, although I was aready sighted in and putting shots into his chest. Oh how it svcks to get hip sprayed by a person with a better connection. :(

I noticed this last night with the 2 bar connection. I have high speed cable, a wired conncetion, and a pretty new linksys dir-655 router. I wonder if it's a server issue. At least I can connect with friends on this game.

i personally think that Crysis 2 and homefront are both better than COD BO
homefront i think is really good but they do need to sort out the online and quick certainly quicker than it took TDU2

crysis is a different type of fps and in that it is different from COD BO and Homefront so i will be playing both but no doubt and seen some little bits already there are gonna be people out there that are gonna bich but Crysis 2 it never fails game companies no matter who they are can't always get it working correctly first time

The Prophet told me to... **** on Black Ops! ;)

And Homefront is unbearable to play right now, so I′ll be playing the **** out of Crysis2. It′s just amazing. Couple of fixes here and there. IMO the real problem is the multiplatform thing. They start developing on the weakest platform (xbox) an port from there on. Sure the PC has the best performance of all three, no doubt, but the PS3 has still more horse power than the xbox, but still we suffer because of bad ports. Dev′s finally need to start developing ON the PS3, not porting to the PS3. I haven′t played KZ3 but I guess that it works fine and sure, this game looks hella good.

So final statement: Yes! Crysis2 blows BO (which is dead to me i think) and Homefront (unbearable, but it will get it′s chance) out of the water with a big **** stomp.

A few days ago I bought the Homefront. It has a few deficiency. The campaign is fine but I finished it about 4-5 hours :( Only 7 stage. Thats really short sadly. In the MP sniper rifles hasnt got any attachment. WTF? There isnt a variable zoom scope and this is a problem when you want to shoot someone who is 200 meters from you....you cant take it a silencer...the MP has only 12 rifles. I remember there are 4-5 assault rifles, 2 SMG, 2 LMG, 2 sniper rifle. You cant take two attachment for any rifle. And finally, the game can only 720p :( In the MP there are helicopters, tanks and other armoured vehicles which improves the atmosphere. Homefront was a good idea, but failed in execution. So I think thats not a rival for Crysis 2.

I play Black Ops since when it came out last November 9. I play with the MP about 400 hours. This tells us what I'm think about it. Thats an absolutely perfect game for me (and other 7 million people). Awesome campaign and MP. The campaign is three times as long as the Homefront and more beautiful. The MP is flawless with more maps, weapons, attachments than the Homefront. I think better in all respects. I really love the CoD BO, but after more than 400 hours of multiplayer has become a bit boring for me.

I need a new challange. I checked all the existing trailer about the Crysis 2 on the last few months. Last week I downloaded the multiplayer demo. I played with it about 40 games. I saw, I tried, I fell in love and I feel that it will be a worthy successor for the Black Ops for a long time. Only 8 hours left until I get my copy :)


Congratulations to the Crytek team. Good work! The errors are rectified as quickly as possible please.

For me it is my service provider :(

Never choose Telus, they svck. They average 7mb/s, and the British Colombia average is 10.5 mb/s. For me, I have <2mb/s download, 0.30 mb/s upload, and a ping of 355 :(

I seriously have at least a 1 second delay when playing now, so I end up dying when I would have beaten them 90% of the time on a good connection. :(

Killzone 3's online is an unbalanced broken mess.

This is fairly decent, if we could get servers, rather than sticking with P2P which ruins all multiplayer experiences for me.

I haven't been able to try out Homefront much because of the crashing on PS3, and Black Ops is included in the comparisons for a joke, I presume?

I'm playing Homefront now.

The SP is short but interesting, not amazing, though a good story.

MP, yes a lot of people are having trouble - isn't Crysis 2 as well with MP now? But I am not having any trouble except for one particular game mode, a game never kicks off. But the other modes work fine, and the Battle Commander system is excellent - being asigned a target for bonus points, or being marked & hunted more exciting. I'm on PS3 & all in all it is a good game. However, the graphics are pretty low quality. Still, having a choice of infantry, drone, or vehicle is why I decided HF rather than Crysis 2 as you have more variety of gameplay: I do not need tons of weapons which have the same function, I want something different which HF offers.

Just got Homefront as a rental but not played it as Crysis arrived same day. BLOps campaign was dog **** (IMO). Way too much frantic shooting, not enough tactical options. The MP however I really enjoyed. Well balanced and a great upgrade and promotion system. Never once had a server problem.

Crysis 2 SP is awesome. Having not ever owned and Xbox I have no idea what HALO plays like but for me Crysis 2 is a completely original take on the FPS genre. The graphics, the sound, the music, the gameplay...all top drawer.

Crysis 2 MP ... I love it. I'm pretty good at getting my ass handed to me at the minute as the suit options make it a totally unique style of play, but I am already hooked. Have had a couple of lag issues but I am sure that it is just the new servers taking the strain.

Anyway that my 2 cents... *cloak engaged*

I hate Call of Duty I've never played any of this games. C2 is just better, you don't need improved. Crysis is better because it's Crysis.
