Your multiplayer experience, good, bad or cr*ppy?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 4:18 am

I've had just about enough of Crysis 2's multiplayer, I had some faith going in after patch 1.4 only to be let down big time. They said they fixed the problem of losing progress, losing your levels, upgrades and all.

I went in, had a match, unlocked an attachment/module for my grendel, I chose to unlock a reflex sight. Played another match, came back see my reflex sight locked and no module unlock to bring it back. I also unlocked a reward dogtag (those ones where you can choose a dogtag to unlock) at the main menu (not in a server), had a match, came back to see it was locked.

All I can say is :(

I've lost so much level progress, so many modules, so many dogtags! And I'm just over it, it's really all been a waste of time. I mean I can say I’ve enjoyed playing Crysis 2's multiplayer, it can be fun. But for a game that's been so heavily advertised on multiplayer and a "very rewarding" levelling system, it just makes it fall short.

I believe Crysis 2's multiplayer can be so much better than this. I want to enjoy this game.

I've given up on C2's multiplayer for now, when multiplayer is fully functioning and plays how it's supposed to (I wonder how many patches it'll take to get there), I might consider playing it some more.

So, what's you multiplayer experience in Crysis 2 been like? As bad as mine, you given up too for now?

Holy Crap I feel sorry for you. I have none of the problems you are having. My multiplayer progress saves perfectly. The only problem I have is lag spikes but thats because there's no active Australian servers to play in. Other than that and the occasional hacker, my multiplayer experience is just fine.

lol, that's good to hear. Yeah I've also noticed no ones ever in any Australian servers, it's a shame =/ We should organise a time to jump in an Aussie server sometime so we can finally have a low ping match :D I'd do it dispite my annoyance at the unlock system, just for the fun of it.

I guess if i just forget about the unlocks I could probably enjoy this game a lot more.

As for losing progress and unlocks, I have a feeling that it's actually bugged at certain levels. I realise that I do not lose anymore progress or unlocks after reaching lvl 20+. Of cause to be on the save side, I've only unlock modules, attachments and dogtags in a server. No problem since.

Bottom choice for me, I doubt most of the problems will get fixed as they seem to have been caused by sheer stupidity and a lack of any forethought.

Alright, I just wish Crytek would fix these stupid multiplayer issues, losing ranks, unlocks, and unable to sign in.

hey! i have had the same problems with unlocks upgrades etc but i just figured out i need to be in a server when i unlock, then leave, then u have this warning "updating profile data" and its all saved...until i found that out i lost good 20-30 levels (not sure trying to forget-.-) a load of attachements that are unlocked through kills...which werent saved as well, so i hammered my fist onthe table called out loud "god damn f+kcin s#it" and played the levels again. crysis 2 is just too hardcoe to be too angry at it :) oh yea what really reall really pisses me off are the hackers, i dont mind regaining 1-2 levels i did but gettin fragged by nonstop-cloaked tards is the worst.

so far

The only thing I wanna complain about is not about hackers, not about pirates, but stats not saving properly. That is pure idiocy -.-

What gets to me is, why aren't the 360 or ps3 players complaining about unlock and stat issues? EA obviously needed the console versions to be more playable than the PC version because somehow they must think PC players are more forgiving...

I put all the blame on EA, they're the ones that forced it out so soon =/

The Lag/lagspikes are still present after 1.4 patch, game still "freezes" for 10-30 secs, where all players are frozen in place, and u can just run around and get free kills, or i enter a firefight, and the game "skips" several frames, and the person i shot at, is suddenly 6 feet away from where i was aiming at him,.. and he kills me in a second,..

Honestly, i havent played the game for more than 20 mins after 1.4 patch, and i find myself not rilly wanting to play it anymore,...

The game is unplayable until the lag issues are fixed for good,..
Ive NEVER seen a online game b4 whit such bad connection/lag/latency Issues,

This is futile, they are never gonna get this game to run smooth apparently,... even after 20-30 patches, i dont see it ever gettin fixed,..

I disagree, of what i've seen and played it has massive potential, anyways i'm tired of BC2 now pretty much, i need crysis 2 to work and have faith(so long as crytec has the support) it's gonna be one of the best games of the year.

I also appreciate this forum they have provided and the freedom we're given herein.

For the "most part" I do enjoy my multi-player experience overall, but I do feel differently when "hacky boy" joins the server your in and ruins it for everyone.. other than that one particular problem, it's been good. I have only experienced lag one time so far, but I think that's because so many servers are EMPTY and there's lots of bandwidth available.

Sometimes I do wish they have bigger servers out there than the 16 player max, I'd like to see some 20 or 24 player servers, just as long as it can handle all the connections and does not get laggy. I like having "more players" in a game, keeps the game fun and fast paced.

My experience has been terrible, i had such high hopes for this game having loved Far Cry 1 (not 2, that was just a game with Far Cry in the name to boost sales) and Crysis/ Warhead/ Wars and its all just boiled down to a severe let down. Hackers, Bugs, Connectivity Issues, Stats not saving and many more. The stats never really bothered me, just a little annoying everytime i logged on to find a flashing gold star all the time and my retriever module being reset everytime i closed the game (which has now been fixed Yay!!) but i am still stuck with connectivity problems and that annoying gold star. It's a shame really because from what multiplayer i have played it is ace and i enjoy playing it but most of the time im feeling frustration rather than enjoyment.

this is best multiplayer game by far, nothing else come close to the graphics or gameplay. this is truly amazing game and will be considered one of best if not best all time eventually when we all look back and realize just how truly mind blow this game was when it cames out.

I voted bad. This game is pretty fun in some ways (the gunplay is pretty good), but there are alot of things that completely ruin the game. The whole game is an invisible war, you'll die running around in armour mode running and gunning. Everyone knows that armour mode shouldn't drain energy wile you have it on, it completely un-balances it. Not only that, you have a speed decrease of 30% which makes the armour mode pointless, it just makes you an easier target. Crysis 1 was much better in this respect. I thought crysis was always for suiting for peoples play styles? Instead of conforming and punishing someone if they don't stick to one? The only player who would like this game are people who like to sneak around getting cheap kills, or campers.

You have to sneak around the whole time to get any where, because 90% of the time there is a guy waiting with camo to nail you in the head once you pop around the corner. I recently started using the smg's and I found I could run MUCH faster. I could get away much faster and won much more fights. With the scar I felt I was being dragged down by it, just lagging along. Sprint should be about the same speed no-matter what weapon you have.

TL:DL

Armour mode = Underpowered and broken.
Camo = Overpowered and abused.
Sprint = Massive speed gaps depending on what weapon you have.

Don't tell me to use certain perks to make this broken game more tollerable, it's the games fault that I am comming across these problems and they need to be fixed.

You have to be joking right? Crysis 1 had far superiour graphics and gameplay, the abilities where balanced and not watered down for consoles. Also every single Halo game, TF2, CSS, are more superior games in every way.

Comming from myself (Top 2000 in Halo: Reach, topped servers in CSS), I am completely **** at this game. The whole game revolves around how you use the suit abilities, your aim can be **** but win a fight because you where cloaking in a corner and caught the other guy by surprise. Cloak is overpowered, and armour mode is underpowered.
