Crysis 2

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Game looks gorgeous. Online though...very blah.

The host has a major advantage again like in Call of Duty. Honestly, reminds me too much of COD. Nothing like dumping an entire clip in someone only to have them get one shot off and kill you.

It's not terrible, just not anything groundbreaking. If you haven't played it yet, it's exactly like Black Ops in almost every sense of the word, just futuristic.

EDIT - and holy **** I hate the noob tube in this game. It's like MW2.

It wasn't this bad in the beta's. From what I've read on the Crysis 2 forums, it has to do with net code and the games code.

But unlike you, I'm heavily enjoying the MP portion of this game. I'm having a blast playing it, whether I'm winning or losing, or going amazing positive, or horribly negative.

It's not bad, just it's Call of Duty: Future. There's nothing new here, everything's been done. They took Black Ops and mixed some Halo Reach features in there like cloaking and holograms, and released their multiplayer.

Now the maps are stunning, especially the hotel one where it's basically on it's side.

My biggest issue is, I'm burned out of the "Call of Duty style run and gun with dumping an entire clip in someone then dying with one shot" type gameplay.

I'll still enjoy the single player, but online just isn't for me. I'll give it a few more chances.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

I'm going to give it another chance, but I shared the same sentiments about the multiplayer demo. I liked the nanosuit powers, mobility, and the way they handle killstreaks, but the overall feel was very COD and that's just not my cup of tea anymore.

I don't know if it is the best looking console game, but I would certainly put it up there with games like God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 (haven't played Killzone 3 yet) for consideration. At times the graphics have been unbelievable for a console game.

At times I think it does look the best thanks to some phenomenal lighting, but I find the other games you mentioned to be more consistent art-wise, have better IQ, and performance. Still very impressive for Crytek's first multiplatform effort.

I've been following this thread since release to get info on the multiplayer, this post about the gameplay being like COD is all I needed to not get this game. I was hoping to get rid of Homefront as the idiots online have really ruined the game for me. I guess I'll go back to just playing sports games exclusively.

I got killed by a firehydrant this morning.

Loving this game online. I'm not having issues with people cloaking either. Just hit down on the d-pad from time to time, and you can spot them.

Really has the fun factor of Resistance: FOM.

Sounds like it has the same hit detection/netcode as Call of Duty then, where sometimes you die and you have no idea how because of how they coded the client side hit detection. I'm pretty sure Battlefield and Halo use client side also, but they must code it differently because I definitely feel a lot less cheated when I play those online. Seems like the bullets actually connect.

I'm thinking it might feel a little different if I could play the no respawn objective modes, but they are still locked for me.

I said the same thing to my brother as I loved the first Resistance and this game reminds me of that as no matter how I do it's just plain fun.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Finally got around to opening this game and WOW!!!! Only got one rd in but was it a blast.

I never thought that this game would appeal to me and was I wrong. Gotta take my son to Baseball practice and after that it's on because this game is a winner

Looks like I won't be repurchasing Homefront. LOL!!!

I loved R1's multiplayer. Sometime still play it to this day.Why does it remind you of it because I haven't hit MP yet and this statement is making me very happy.

The one thing that I loved about R1 is that it didn't have all those goofy perks and crap to make the playing field uneven. Is it because of the maps or does C2 make it an even playing field and more based on user skill and not whether I become superhuman and get to own and use the superduper upsidedown flintrubbledouble gun because I play 20 hours online and the other guys playing against me didn't.

There are perks, and there unlockable guns, but everything (so far) seems to be very balanced. I am at level 18 right now, but players just starting with the SCAR (Assualt Rifle) still kill me a lot. So, I don't feel like I have the "magic" gun or "magic" perk that gives me a huge advantage over the competition.

What really reminds me of R1 is, the Nano Suit Abilities. I remember in R1 the Human Side could run really fast as an ability, while the Chimera could look through walls.

The suit is similar that both sides have it, but there are three abilities instead of just one. It really adds layers to the gameplay. For instance, should I cloak when guarding the crash site? It has some advantages, but if a grenade falls near you, you are toast. The armor is nice, because you can survive grenades, but you are easily spotted. The power is awesome too, when you sprint you can really move fast, but it drains the suit energy pretty quick. It has a Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors quality continually playing out.

Sounds very cool. Hopefully Resistance 3 follows this style instead the abominaton that was Resistance 2.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Yeah, R3 is looking promising.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Gave it more time, about done with the online. It's just too much of a Call of Duty clone. The perks are way over used and just doesn't feel balanced to me at all.

Just my opinion, as I know most are loving the online. I was just hoping for something more than Call of Duty: Future.
