The Crysis 2 Thread

crytek has serious security problems if this is on a dedicated server, because shit like this should be literally impossible.

rule number 1 of client / server architecture is to never trust the client. unless you are the host, this shouldn't be possible, ever, at all.

Well it is and so is this.

EDIT: I found a vid showing noclip.

That vid is awesome! It might be totally unfair, but it's funny as hell.

Oh and that music track is great. I'd like to know what it is so I can get a copy.

Finished the game today.

darnit...I have the 1.1 patch but still am experiencing bugz galore. My Ping say's 1,000 ...I keep logging into Multilayer and each time it's telling me that I have Bonux XP, etc (the shit you get from the LE deal) I have to renter my gun configuration, and also my Sniper isn't unlocked already and I am at Rank #12 ...suggestions? This may happen to me 1/3 times I play Crysis 2 Multiplayer...

 

[ctrain]

Has it really been confirmed by Crytek now?

see, i don't know where people were getting that it was confirmed by crytek... because it wasn't.

No dx11 guys!!!!! no patch plans! as seen on mycrysis http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=15962

Thank you (not) to Amd, Nvidia, Crytek and the industry...

Except that isn't what they said.

 

[erixx]

I don't know, I try to just play games and not follow all the fans blowing for months, but the expectation was DX11, although now they are erasing every trace of it in their papers...

Isn't this really strange, back in the day they made a special AMD64 Edition etc... Is this as simple as "Consolitis!"

BTW, the game looks extremely good, best ever, so maybe its the Ultimate DX9 game, but..

 

[Flibolito]

I just watched the movie Skyline, a movie version of crysis 2 pretty much hehe, check it out.

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

lol yeah the aliens there pretty much reminded me of Crysis

They were promising incredible experience before the launch so that they lured many potential buyers, but when they had to deliver it, they brought us half baked and crippled stuff. But they don't care now. They have cashe in our money and now they can take as long as they want for DX11 and all the fixes...

pre order our game! awesome DX11 graphics! etc etc!

Not forgetting the fact that they also failed to disclose the DRM scheme...

Yeah, that's the main problem with these protection schemes. Before the serials you could return the game easily. These days you only can if the box is not opened (the transparent foil still on it). But how can you see that the game is rubbish if it's still packed? So it's a lose-lose for the end user really.

I expected this personally. hence why i didnt bother wasting my money on this console port

It would have been foolish not to expect this, despite all the claims of no compromise on the pc version, even though we are dealing with a multi-platform release. I might have picked this up in a Steam sale at some point, but the fact that they failed to disclose the third-party DRM has more or less convinced me that my money is better invested elsewhere. It boils down to a matter of respect and Crytek/EA (and also Steam in this case) have shown their clients very little.

 

[Over_Lord]

hmm... well, in that case crysis 2 runs even more shitty than crysis 1

crysis 1 with dx10 and aa at 1920x1080 would give 32fps on HD5850, and thats those huge environments and thousands of trees and foilage and beautiful water to render.


now remove all those, cut dx10 to dx9 and small packed envorinments, i get 36fps... an improvement? not really..

Yet you bought Homefront?

 

[Flibolito]

I'm still skeptical on this DX11 patch that's supposedly in the works. Something sounds fishy and I know crytek aren't the best patchers in the industry since crysis and warhead received minimal attention after release. Imagine how Cryengine 2 would look if they would have kept tweaking it and patching all the problems. Instead other people are up to the challenge and get the game to look and run better with .ini tweaks. Last night I ran crysis with 1 of the mods at the custom resort level and omg that game was just so ahead of its time. Time will tell if we get to enjoy DX11 when it does happen I might consider buying it at a more reasonable price.

If you buy the game via the internet/catalogue (and it was posted to you) in the EU you are protected with the distance sellers act which means you are legally allowed to return it in 28 days for a full refund as you are unable to asses the quality of the product before purchase.

I'm very tempted to return my copy, not because it doesn't have DX11 but because they said it would do, and are now locking any threads that remind them of that fact. I'm pretty confident they will be doing a DX11 patch, just not right now.

Maybe the GTX590s they were testing the DX11 code with blew up and burned all their copies of the DX11 patch in a cleansing fire of doom...

 

[AphexDreamer]

Here is my take on the situation.

Assuming DX11 isn't a stand alone patch, they are probably trying to fix the plethora of bugs to get just one patch for the game going.

Just my assumption.

Or maybe they are just really having a hard time getting DX11 to work the way it should.

Or maybe the the whole DX11 on the PC is some sort of marketing plan.
Get more sales on console or something.

 

[yogurt_21]

Ok now your ridiculous posts makes sense. You haven't even played the game.

Crytek does manage all servers.

Hackers can do a lot more than what that video shows. It doesn't even scratch the surface of their capabilities. I'll try and get a video for ya of some of the crap they can do.

EDIT: I found a vid showing noclip.

yeah ctrain said it, if crytek is running the servers that's seriously the most moronic thing I've ever seen. They should be able to manually force settings as the server and the client's settings shouldn't be able to override the defaults.

so no dx 11 patch, online play lets the clients do whatever the f they want and a 6-12 hour sinlge player? 60$ eh? where do I sign up lmao.

To be fair I've not seen any official servers. There are EA partner companies/hosts which run affiliated servers but that's as close to official servers that I've seen for PC. The rest of the servers are dedicated servers from hosting companies who rent them out.
