BumbleBee · Jan 30, 2011

or how about 6 months like Starcraft II. lol

This guys credibility went out the window when he refered to Battlefield's controlls being sluggish....sluggish on the crappy 360/Ps3 port maybee... Ugh console shooters annoy me.

BumbleBee · Jan 30, 2011

I am pretty sure Battlefield Bad Company 2 was designed on the PS3 from the ground up.

Not for the PC it wasn't. DICE repeatedly went on about how the PC version was the jewel in the crown and that they did it first and then the console ports.

In regards to Crysis 2 - nice GFX = meh. It'll still be a lacklustre game like the first 2.

Bad Company 2 (PC) is a console port. everybody knows that. even the news headline agrees.

Bad Company 2 For PC 'Not Just A Port,' DICE Says

most of the development cycle is spent on developing the console versions because of the technical challenges.

The crysis series had been a favorite of mine for multiplayer! It's like halo without the toy guns and lack luster power suit. People who could control the suit won the game. Not just the folks who could shoot. Mix the two together and those players were demons.

Their blogs told a different side of things.

I'm just not into 6 vs 6 online game play. It's too cramped for my taste. According to the developers these maps were designed for 6 vs 6 only. If a demo does come out I may try it just to see what's what but that's about all. And that's only if there is some anti cheating program used this time. We will see...

johnnyfiive · Jan 30, 2011

Hrmm... this definitely won't take any crowns away from the CoD series, especially on Xbox. This game will flop on 360 :\

Any of you guys with a 360 play it yet? The map in the demo looks terrible. I'm sure on PC it will look fantastic on a capable rig, such a shame it even came to consoles.. it looks so shitty.

Frick · Jan 30, 2011

Wait, there is a PC demo coming? I thought they wouldn't release one.

EastCoasthandle · Jan 30, 2011

There was a big backlash towards EA/etc so now they are including a demo for the PC from what I've read.

jellyrole · Jan 31, 2011

Thank god..I loved the demo, but the fact that Xbox 360 was what they targeted makes me sad. It shows where they put there priorities...

take a guess what platforms microsoft has under it's control.

people bitching has nothing to do with it, microsoft flashing the $$$ does.

EastCoasthandle · Jan 31, 2011

I'll correct my last Tweet, the demo will be available before Crysis 2 is released, that's the latest news

twitter

douglatins · Jan 31, 2011

If you say the maps are designed for 6 people that's sugar icing crap. Make it a 12x12 damnit, even more

EastCoasthandle · Jan 31, 2011

That tidbit of information can be seen in the video. It starts around 3:14. Oh, and he implies (to me) that this will be P2P.

Mussels · Jan 31, 2011

PC better have dedicated servers... and bigger maps.

Lionheart · Jan 31, 2011

Downloaded the Demo via Xbox Live, froze 5 times, deleted

........... Awaiting PC Demo :toast:

BumbleBee · Jan 31, 2011

it's so hard to find information on Crysis 2 (PC) in google when every result is for Call of Duty lol

ViperXTR · Jan 31, 2011

let's see how this old system runs this game XD

AlienIsGOD · Jan 31, 2011

I ll try the demo out when it hits PC, should be interesting :O

erixx · Jan 31, 2011

During the steam holiday offers I bought Crysis Wars, and the MP is not what I would call fun or interesting at all... SP has been pretty much the same since FC1, so if MP is also a boring cliché, I will pass this one.
