Crysis 2 PC Demo Coming March 1st.

ivicagmc · Mar 2, 2011

Looks like Nvidia and AMD will have to create their own games if they wont to sell their cards in the future. Consoles are definitely taking game producers, and destroying PC gaming. Noting new from Crysis 1. Crytek, you really disappoint me. No more art in creating games, no more impressing gamers with incredible graphics, it's all about $$$$$$$ and consoles now...

crytek has been sticking it to PC gamers for some time now.

not all developers are turning into trash. check out DICE and BF3, this is a title I do not expect to be disappointed in.

I've go a problem with starting games after I join a server.

After I join there's no vote going on, just a list of players joining and leaving - nothing else happening. How do I start playing? Or do I need to wait until the current match is over?

Oh and sometimes there's a countdown in the server lobby "Match starting in ... ", but it gets stuck on 1. Anyone else had that?

fate is on your side, you were not allowed to play this trash for a reason! save your sanity and delete it now!!!

on the helpful side, it is a beta, so there are bound to be bugs.

You neither confirmed it nor gave any advice to overcome it... spammer

ivicagmc · Mar 2, 2011

Try few times with different servers. If doesn't catch up in 10s or so, it wont. Sometimes I had to change 10 or more servers to get in...

jimmyme · Mar 2, 2011

After titles like BC2...im not holding my breath for DICE. Considering also that BF3 is running on Frostbite2.
Im just waiting for RO2:HoS!!!!! Tripwire FTW!!!!

oops BC2 ....

Lol after playing the demo, I think the rumor where Crytek intentionally released a leaked version of the game to the public makes much more sense now. IMO they somehow knew that they will disappoint PC gamers.

HammerON · Mar 3, 2011

I was so sure that Crysis 2 would not be a counsel port based on some web articles, but freak'n Mailman was right

I am sooooo sad!!!
Long live the Mailman and his infinite wisdom :toast:

catnipkiller · Mar 3, 2011

played the demo yesterday
now the sound wont work
restarted 5 times done everything i can think of
time to uninstall

boise49ers · Mar 3, 2011

So far plays smooth and sound works great, but that was only 10 minutes.
Game play is OK if you like shoot and scoots. Like MW2 with futuristic perks.
I liked Crysis SP , but didn't care for MP. Thinking this may be the same.
I'll wait until it drops like the other one has before buying it.

besides being the top shooter released last year, and being an assload of fun, allowing you to blow up the environments and encourage good non cod-esque teamwork... whats wrong with it

Well the fact that it was a broken product. And by that I mean the game did not function correctly online. Lag, rubberbanding, terrible hitboxes, terrible ballistics, broken melee, average PB controls for hax, graphical problems, patches that broke other parts of the game..... and and and. Not to mention lack of MOD TOOLS, lack of maps.....and and and...it was just a port, plain and simple.

Don't get me wrong, part of the design was eventually successfully executed: encouraging teamwork, destructible environments, vehicles. Its debatable actually if the destructible environment had ANY large impact ultimately on how the games were finally played but anyway. The graphics were good and I did have some fun at times, but it always melted into blind frustration with the "console" issues it had.

But you are correct the fact that it was the "top" shooter released last year shows, as Ive repeated before, PC gaming isnt dying.... its already dead.

considering that frostbite engine 1.0 was built from the ground up for console as DICE's intro into that market (I mean real intro) the fact that they did so much to make frostbite 1.5 what it was on PC shows quite a bit of dedication.

BC2 was by no means perfect on release, but it was no more broken than BF2 on release. one of the redeeming traits DICE offers is continued patch support, even years after games release.

OK. I guess we will see, its just that Frostbite from a PC point of view was tragic so lets hope Frostbite 2 will be similar in name alone. Im not sure it will be?
I think as long as BF3 is moddable it will be great! But im not sure it is?

but argh we are too far off topic now!

TheoneandonlyMrK · Mar 3, 2011

Funny this game had less problems then any other On-line shooter I have ever played in the last 5 years. I think I have to agree with the others you are trolling.

PopcornMachine · Mar 3, 2011

a lot of whining here. The game works fine for me.

If it's supposed to be a shoot'em up free for all, and I think it is, then it does that well.

I just don't like getting killed so quickly. But I'm getting better.

well im happy someones not in the shit then cos the demo wont start an effin game for me,ive been in and out of servers for half an hour n not once has it started,it pings at 0 for every server and theres no official servers listed not a good start.,

what with the dx11 hold up im hard pushed to go for a shitty gold dog tag itll be hacked in ten mins anyway gits

I did have a go on the first night tho, i quite liked it and if they mixed up tight maps with some ol school crysis sprawlers it would be mint however after several attempts over the last 2 days to play it i still cant get in a game (can join but never starts) im starting to thoink it was a ONE time demo. wtf crytek -----------diks
