Why people compaining about graphics?

The games going to have DX11 and I doubt it will look worse than Crysis 1 did.

The Demo is a Demo of the MP not a Demo of the Graphics.

And so far the MP demo is hella fun. I personally can not wait to get this game. Its got me more hyped up than Portal 2 and I love portal 2.

But don't get me wrong, I am getting both :)

Im glad to see someone iz enjoying it:toast:

And Mailman will say "I knew you would!!" hehe

Btw, now i can't log in to test a bit. Wolfenstein demo was good....

Lmao:laugh: yes he would:slap:. Aaah gotta luv glitchy demo's:rolleyes:

I played the Wolfenstein demo awhile back, I found it was pretty fun but never ended up buying it for some reason:twitch:, do you have the full game? And if so, whats it like? Worth buying via steam:p

maybe its punishment for the Beta being leaked. . . . . . .

and this isn't a beta, thats why its sad, and to me the gameplay is like a COD rip off with stealth or somethin


very dissapointed.

I only want this game for its Single Player experience:rockout:

Same here, i never cared for the multiplayer aspect of Crysis, and after playing this Crysis 2 MP demo, i still could careless about it.

I'm really hoping they polish it up by putting in more graphical options for PC gamers.

All hope is lost. The SP will have the same graphical options. Geforce.com offers the first benchmarks on some popular Nvidia cards based on playing a level in SP of a near finished build. It doesn't say if it has dx10 or 11 (I think not! at least not yet which is worrying)

here's the link: http://www.geforce.com/#/Optimize/Guides/crysis-2-benchmarks

@Lionheart : I referred to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it's MP demo lasted for years and years. It is/was WWII themed (flamethrower!). But the game has also a lot of horror levels. On Steam there is a never edition of it that I have not played.

Am I the only one who enjoyed playing Crysis 1 MP :eek:

sigh....noobs :shadedshu

Seriously....how can you not love Power struggle mode....chasing cars with your vtol in Mesa then blasting the passengers is an endless pleasure.

Forget about about the Instant Action mode, hopefully they will have a power struggle-like mode...hopefully.

the demo is supposed to sell the game to people who want to check it out

Demo: A demonstration, as of a product or service.

Sure but considering it does not have DX11, its a demonstration of what to expect from MP not of what to expect graphically. Although personally I think the graphics are great for DX9.

It's a poor demonstration. For DX9 graphics, in my opinion it looks horrible and it looks like something that the original Xbox could run. Looks like corporate gaming America got a hold of this game, wrung it through the "what sells" machine and spit this out. Definite not buy for me.

Yes! And in dx10 mode you had destructible environments. But these are today just memories...

Consoles killed the PC star!

I just had my first game of the MP Demo.........wow.......

Poor crysis.... why did they kill it. Is money everything!?!?!?
For Crytek, i guess the answer is F-YEAH!

This for me sums it all up.... Start screen where it says: "Push start...blah blah"
I look down: "Where is the start button on my PC" .....idiots....

Is anyone else dissapointed?

So here is what am gonna do.

I'll wait for more information about the game, if they confirmed that there will be a Power struggle mode or something like it with more vehicles then I'll pre-order it. If not then I'll wait for it until it reaches $5 on steam, sounds fair huh :)

Gah, I hate when companies are to lazy to fix stuff like that. Hopefully they were just lazy for this demo and not the full game

Exactly a poor demonstration, not a very accurate one at that. Heck the Leaked beta's MP had graphical features that this demo doesn't even have. Like the way water doesn't splash on your screen when you walk through falling water, it did in the leak.

I will admit it does have some console amenities but to say it has graphics that the original Xbox could run is absurd and down right immature. If you want to discredit the game then at least use respectful arguments.

I will agree that Cry engine 3 main focus wasn't on improving the PC's graphical potential but more along the lines of getting it to run on Consoles. However, I find it hard to believe that they would regress things on the PC either.

As far as graphics go I say wait till final release and say what you will. Gameplay wise, if this isn't your cup of tea, no ones forcing you to drink it.

I like it.

Have to agree with the other guy, i also do think it could run on the original xbox lolz, movement feels like I'm using analog sticks, the game is piss poor wouldn't waste a sec more of my time on it.
