bangtail 0 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Wow, you're so much better than anyone who plays Crysis 2 /sarcasm off. I can understand you not liking it but I am neither 'dumb' nor do I suffer from ADD and I enjoyed it. Edited March 31, 2011 by BangTail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krycek 349 Posted March 31, 2011 ??????Crysis 2 really requires the same amount of button presses to play and easily beat the game. Oh....you can cloak with button, that really takes it to a whole new level. And really? Crysis 2 has a terrible hollywood story and cinematic setup made specifically for dumb people with ADD. Not sure about you but I judge a game of how much fun I had with it.I enjoyed Crysis 2 and I had very few moments of "man im bored",the shooting mechanics(pew-pew part because you know after all it's still an fps) were very well done,the combat was exciting and the cloak option was a nice and this time actually usefull side option. Besides if you got Crysis 2 primary for expecting a great story I think you got the wrong game,try an adventure or an rpg.Crytek always had a thing with mutants or aliens so I'm not sure how much innovation you could bring to this part after gazillion shooters.What did you expect on the story part:"A day in the life of a squiddy"?

froggyluv 2135 Posted March 31, 2011 Only played Crysis 1 demo -I liked certain things ie. fighting humans, tho their range of engagement was too low. I remember attacking guys on a beach from a few hundred meters out -no return fire :( The alien stuff doesnt appeal to me. Reminds me of Half Life -great fighting Marines -terribad fighting on XOXO (alien world or whatever). The editor looked nice tho for Crysis. Questions: Is there an editor and how robust? Are all firefights frenzied and twitchy or are there some prolonged rifle battles? Is majority fighting against human or alien? Is Nano suit a must or can you play without?

ziiip 1 Posted March 31, 2011 1., No editor at the moment. :icon_ohmygod: 2., The lenght of firefights depend of difficulty. If you play on hardest, you can die very fast so you must stay in cover. 3., I have only played a little so I cant tell. 4., I think that the invisibility is very useful on hardest, but its really up to how many times you want to retry a scenario.

nodunit 397 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) No editor? Pweh? That's odd..sandbox2 came with crysis 1 from disk.. has anyone checked to see if SB2 is by chance compatible with Crysis 2's levels? the cloak option was a nice and this time actually usefull side option. Bwuh? what do you mean? It's always fun to cloak and pick off a squad, leaving the one guy to search for you in utter confusion as he finds his friends dead..it's just a shame that their balls are so big they never experience fear....though that could explain why they cannot swim very well. The various Crysis/Crytek forums are going to explode. :p I'm not sure how the community stands on it but there are many dissapointed with the graphical downgrade and several people are already working to bring crysis 2 up to the original's standards..then likely the extreme configs of the original. Apparently many of the textures even though were re-used, are half the size of crysis 1. I wonder what new things they will bring to the table with whatever new things CE3 has to offer them, they are a strangely innovative community.

Yeah but I sucked at using it in Crysis 1:p.The energy was going down too fast like walk 5m bang 0 level.There were situations when I miscalculated my energy and uncloaked in front of 4 angry north koreans or mg nest.

jblackrupert 14 Posted April 4, 2011 A texture pack [user made] has been released but it's only the textures that were reused from Crysis 1 and then cut in half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted April 4, 2011 Wouldnt I need the beta to use that? Not that I'm not satisfied with the current textures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted April 4, 2011 Wouldnt I need the beta to use that? Not that I'm not satisfied with the current textures. It's for the full version. Crysis 2 reuses a lot of the Crysis 1 textures but they are half the original resolution so the texture pack puts them back. It's about 428MB. It's making the rounds on Torrent sites.

maddogx 13 Posted April 4, 2011 Makes you wonder why it was so hard to just leave the original size textures in the PC version in the first place... :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted April 4, 2011 Oh nice, thanks for the link. I have also seen the C1 Scar wip for C2. Makes you wonder why it was so hard to just leave the original size textures in the PC version in the first place... :confused: Hehe, that makes sense.

ziiip 1 Posted April 8, 2011 Dx11 patch is indeed coming. "We would like to announce that there will be a DX11 patch released for Crysis 2. We are working to get the best out of DX11, so we’ll wait to announce the features until a little closer to release." http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=16516 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted April 8, 2011 I remain hopeful. If I see it make the light of day, I'll probably finally purchase the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) I'd rather wait for modding capabilities before purchase if I were you. I mean the new SP content is great (excl. the AI and the story details) but it only lasts for so long and the MP is average. Btw, can you recommend me some sweet sweet maps for C1? I have seen so many jaw dropping maps that are not likely to be released. Edited April 8, 2011 by ziiip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted April 8, 2011 And high-res textures instead of those crappy pixelated console ones. For Crysis 1 check of the Niveus castle map. http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=35022 hmLzNbPXMDg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nodunit 397 Posted April 22, 2011 Well it is good that they are falling in to back the community up once more, if that happens I may yet buy crysis 2..toying around in sandbox 2 was..quite fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggyluv 2135 Posted July 14, 2011 Anyone try the new DX11, Hi-Res and editor patches? Good game or fancy tech demo? Still on fence with this game as it just looks so damn twitchy and alien-y :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baff1 0 Posted July 14, 2011 I haven't bothered adding DX11 or any of the patches. maybe next time I build a new PC? Since it went console I have given up on the tech demo side of Crytek completely. Which is not to say it doesn't look good, only that it doesn't really push a system like PC exclusive titles used to. The gameplay however is very good. Gun fights are just lots and lots of fun.

froggyluv 2135 Posted July 15, 2011 ^Yep, picked it up last nite for $39.00 on Origin -that system sucks btw as it was a 5 hour DL on my 20 MB line :D Started with the DX11 and Hi-Res pack and meh old PC handled it fine on everything Super/Ultra/Extreme -way to go 460 SLI! Gameplay is fun-ish but repetitve and graphics are just insane -almost to the point of obscene overkill and you start wondering what kind of game this could be if that effort went into something a bit more mature. Editor is fun to mess around with and a big reason I decided to hit "buy". Have to admit I really do like the feature of your gun being able to elevate over obstacles.
