http://gamingbolt.com/rumour-crytek-was-paid-money-to-delay-support-of-directx-11-for-crysis-2

According to the rumour mentioned in the title, the money NVidia paid to EA was not for marketing, but to delay the support for DirectX 11 in Crysis 2, so that players would have access to their graphics card when DirectX 11 ‘s support was released. The rumour also says that DirectX 11 will only support GTX 590 in Crysis 2.

lol somehow I doubt 2 million would be worth it for crytek, not to mention nvidia wouldn't step on everyone who bought a 580 and take away dx 11 support just because it's not a 590.

I wouldn't underestimate stupidity. I hope for Nvidia sake its not true. Add this to the 590's massive failure and its a PR nightmare.

Anyway how is the plot for the single player? Is it worth picking up when it goes on sale?

 

[erocker]

Is the new patch out today?

 

[AphexDreamer]

Not yet maybe we won't get it today after all.

Whats getting people now is the amount of hackers in the game.

So many...

 

[TheMailMan78]

But how is the single player?

I thought it was pretty fun. Took me 6 hours on the hardest difficulty, Post-Human.

Damn 6 hours? Thats it?

It seems no one even cares to implement any kind of anti-cheat. This makes online value somewhere between 0 and 0,0001. First it was NFS Hot Pursuit. No anti-cheat, plenty of morons. And now Crysis 2. Disapointing. Is it so hard to add at least punkbuster? Even if it's totally crappy it's better than nothing.

Ya know punkbuster back in the day sucked. But anymore its not to bad. I would definitely trust it more then nothing at all. VAC to me is the best IMO.

 

[RejZoR]

Yeah but VAC is limited to Valve games only so that's not an option. It's also a shame that ppl just have to cheat. I never got the point of cheating and never will. I mean, does their gentlemen sausage gets any bigger because they nail 5000 headshots in 3 microseconds? Where is the fun in running around and nailing headshots one after another without using any skill what so ever? I'd get bored after 0,0005 miliseconds. But some have to enjoy this incredibly for hours. Weirdos...

Dude you got me. I don't understand it ether. Online cheaters and pedophiles are life's big mystery. Oh and just to be clear VAC is not limited to Valve games. Call of Duty: Black Ops uses VAC also along with a few others.

 

[RejZoR]

But you have to buy it through Steam then. I got it from retail store. I'm not sure if you can get VAC in it any other way other than using Steam client and game inside it.

idk seems like a whiner to me, Shoot I've been playing fps games for a long time now and there's always hackers. Doesn't matter what kind of anti cheat used they'll find a way around it. When I was first gaming sure it was annoying but now? don't even notice. I mean if aimbot is the only thing the guy was using in the video why didn't the noob try to sneak up on him and kill him at close range? why continually fire at long range with a medium range weapon against an aimbotter? It's like trying to take out a sniper with a shotgun, aint gonna happen, you need to use your brain! That's the advantage you have, they don't use theirs that's why they hack. They don't want to think about/learn all the elements of the game. They just want to get scores for minimal effort and call themselves awesome.

So no crytek doesn't need to do squat, you need to learn how to play at advanced difficulties and then you'll own the hacker.

some one using wall hack? guess where you'll find them every time? behind a freaking wall trying to spot everybody, very easy to take out

aimbot? snake up on them and take them out with nades or melee

armor? high powered shots to the head (you should be aiming there anyways)

god mode? nades + explosive packs + rockets until you wedge them into an impossible to get out of place. (in cs there were litterally hundreds of places per map) then you can play normally until the hacker gives up trying to get unwedged and leaves or rejoins then you rinse and repeat.

After the 5th time I came accross a hacker I took it as a challenge rather than an annoyance and ever since I seek them out because it's totally awesome to show them their hacks mean squat compared to a veteran fps player.

 

[erixx]

both online and partially singleplayer Homefront is more fun, but the hackers are many these days! like mailman said: misteries of life!

 

[RejZoR]

It doesn't seem to work. There have been checkpoints and i've even exited the game but the sounds are still around.

Are you seriously telling me to suck it up and learn to deal with aim botters..
Are you fing serious?

The shit is ridiculous. Sure there are always hackers but here they go unpunished, there isn't even anything to stop them from hacking. Its just an open invite with Crysis 2. You can't kick, ban or report them.

We didn't get Crysis 2 to play sneak up behind the hacker. They even have no clip, super jump, complete invisibility, and God mode. Are we supposed to just run in circles and shoot every flying mother fucker out there and learn to just deal with it? Are we to just join a server and leave are characters sitting there cause thats as close to playing the game as we will get?

Fuck that man. I didn't buy Crysis 2 so some fags who pirated the game and spent their money on Hacks can just stand there and kill every moving thing with instant head shots.

You want to have fun killing this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2vVMf_9HyY&feature=related

Your liking a retarded monkey throwing shit at a tank. Good Luck with that.

 

[chris89]

It seems to be alright so far (late b'day present)

But some things really are annoying me, that i loved in Crysis 1. Like the Armour mode not draining whilst playing, Speed & Strength mode actually being selectable, and the middle mouse button menu is just strange and rather use that to select the modes then keyboard :/

As also others have said a lack of quick save is really annoying, and that had to disable crossfire to play it is a bit annoying.

When i play more of the game i shall say what i think

wow someone needs to cool down.


seriously


anywho that guy barely moved the entire time. easy to take out. not sure why you think it's hard just because he can pop easy targets in 1 second. Hate to tell you but so can all pro's, they just don't need hacks to do it.

now as far as not being able to kick, not sure how crysis 2 does it's hosting but most fps you can host your own server and if you do so you can personally kick anyone you want for any reason. If that is the case here i'm afraid you have none. Host a server and kick to your hearts delight. If crytek setup and manages all servers then you've got a legitimate beef.

as for not playign crysis to sneak? seriously the suit goes invisible and you don't think sneaking should be a tactic under your belt? everyone should just drop deap from afar with mid rnage rifles? now who's sounding like a hacker?

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.

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.

er, you can complain all you want about c2 textures but the first game was hardly incredible in this regard.

here's pictures i took myself. fresh install of crysis 1, dx10, everything very high, no config tweaks.
http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/10565193/1/crysis1?h=6d5772

there's good textures, there's bad ones, but you're kidding yourself if you think crysis 1 was worlds apart.
