Oh by the way, the game doesn't support SLI (at least for me)

EVGA released an SLI patch for the demo.

Finally played with a account created on the spot.... THIS IS UNREAL TOURNAMENT IN NEW YORK

1st thing I did was jump of the skyscraper and big desolation was I didnt hit the ground. My fall ended really soon with the killcam.

I finally got through and played about 30mins of the game........Thoughts so far it looks good, not great, gameplay is ok too, but got boring pretty quickly for me, just same thing running around shooting, not enough nano suit functions to make the MP gameplay interesting.

The game was lagging for me too, felt like 30fps most of the time but with 25fps dips, felt like crossfire wasn't wrking but thats no surprise being a demo, but then I checked MSI afterburner for GPU usage and it was 99% on both GPU 1 & GPU 2.....sooo not sure whats going on there, but if crossfire was working then the performance I just got was fucken horrendous plus my 2 HD6950's are overclocked:rockout: soooo who knows, Im not too worried about dis game anyways, just thought I would share my 30min experience & opinion:toast:

Is this game truly a port?

Lol, TheMailMan told us so! :rolleyes: *Even though it was obvious

I gave this game another try this morning. Honestly, what crap. I don't like CoD at all and I'd rather play that. This game is a pretty big step backwards from the original.

Ah, forgot to tell, runs well at all maxed out, as 1950x1080, no probs.

But.... I am bored over the top of "Who is faster with the mouse FPS games!" NO THANKS ANYMORE. Forgetten BAttles, Darkest Hour or Far Cry 1/2 is so much more rewarding.

Port? Of course, menus are made for babies, horrible. There's a "PRess Start" and also a "Do not power off your TV or something" haha freaking idiots!

Then you have these "Boxing/NBA/Footbal championship" screens in between deaths or games, that resemble so much Arena/Torunament games, and completly destroys the realistic feeling, if there's any.

Now I was wondering. We always say: Crytek makes great engines, more than great games. Well. What games used the Farcry 1 or Crysis 1 engine?.. Anyone?... Oh Mamma.

Aye, me to. This feels CoDish but with worse maps. In CoD you at least have well defined goals and ways to reach those goals, here it feels like a bad early Counter Strike map, but with more chaos (bad chaos).

And the motion blur makes me kinda sick.

Scalable and shit? The only thing I though was that it was going to be a sandbox type game a couple weeks ago. I was wrong there. Anyone can read the many articles around the internet and gather it's a port. Anyone can look to see that this game is being released on multiple systems and know it's a port. You can pick up the demo and see it says "Press Start" and know it's a port. I knew this was a port at least a year ago from the Cryengine 3 demo they were doing on a PS3. But yes, you told us so. Oh, it's going to rain at some point at your location sometime this year. When it does rain, I'm going to say "I told you so." Get over yourself.

VV Definitely not me, but since this game resembles the sheeple's choice, Call of Duty series it will sell very well.

Good evening Maestro W1zzard! :)

And yes, the panoramic views are nice, but the maps are small. A demo is supposed to support sales...

Really, no DX11 option in the demo? That's more of a buzz kill than Buzz Killington.

As far as MP goes, I purchased both Crysis and Warhead, and played maybe 2 cumulative hours on multiplayer between them. IMHO, Crysis is a good single player game, and a terrible multiplayer game (just like the new[er] Wolfenstein).

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 :)

A lot of demos don't usually have all the bells and whistles but that doesn't mean you can't get a vibe for the end product. I don't see Crysis 2 selling well on PC, but it will on consoles which is all Crytek seems to care about when they developed Crysis 2. It doesn't look any better or worse than Crysis or Warhead in my opinion, unfortunately I was hoping it would be mind blowing (visually) like Crysis initially was at launch.

This doesn't mean I won't give the game a go though, single player is what Crysis is about. Everyone knows the multiplayer is garbage and now with a demo out it only proves how crappy it is. I had a blast playing Crysis and Warhead single player and I'm sure Crysis 2 will deliver a good 6-7 hrs of single player experience.

I'll pick it up when its $29 in about 2 months. lol.
