Crysis 2

I’m almost at the end of the game. One of the collectible souvenirs is hidden inside the statue of liberty head lol.

I would use “r_glow 0” instead, because that doesn’t effect the values of the hdr effect itself, it just removes the godawful glow it puts on surfaces.

Lamps disappear when I use that command

Been trying the multiplayer with some people. At first i thought it was awesome, but the more I play the more I realize its just another CoD with some cool features.

The lack of maximum strength or speed is disappointing, especially since you can “kick cars” now, which you have very minimal control over, as opposed to the original where you punch them over, and still drive them, and it also functioned as a quicker way to take down enemies. No more customization on the fly in mp either, and the stomp is fun, but its probably going to get old fast.

Despite the flawed execution of the original’s power struggle gamemode, they really should have tried to take that and improve on it. Crysis Wars did help somewhat, but it really needed a bigger upgrade. It’s a shame because if they improved it for Crysis 2, it really could have been something special, and more than just a Battlefield/CS hybrid.

The SP still seems pretty good from what I played though - will wait till the release to play through, and hopefully the custom map makers (including myself :p) and the mod scene will do wonders with this game. The first one was really wasted potential in terms of mods, the only good mod to come out of it was Mechwarrior.

God they better do a better job with this one. The first was absolute garbage gameplay wise and was nothing more than a tech demo for graphic whores.

i agree… loved the style since it was similar to HL… but gameplay was fkn strange… invisibility-mode was ultra overpowered… etc. etc.

Its because of the preconceptions people have when playing crysis. Almost everyone starts playing crysis having heard that it was a graphics whoring game with shitty game play like 9001 times.

When standards are set low what would normally become pleasantly surprised becomes more than that.

People who can’t get past the hate, play the game already disliking it not allowing themselves to like it because of preconceptions of it. Most people who dislike crysis were bias from before they even played the game.

how do you know? for me crysis just isnt fast enaugh… + the controls of the game are just too complicating (changing the suit modes for example…)
yea graphics were nice but other than that it was nothing special.

I’m quite baffled at the amount of people that say Crysis 1 was just a tech demo, I completely disagree because the gameplay was actually quite unique, It let you tackle each playthrough in completely different ways that were actually fun to experiment with. That kind of freedom isn’t found in tech demos.

the tech demo part was benchmark_gpu.bat

Vehicle destruction. It was kinda off putting how much C1 boasted advanced destruction and shit, but it’s vehicle damage system was no more complex than Halo2+'s. I expected more GTAIV style metal bending, and now (hopefully) we’re getting it.

Gears of war’s architecture is nice, I thought. The whole destroyed beauty thing was cool. I mean at least there was a purpose for it to be so gritty.

As with Crysis 2’s portrayal of NY, it isn’t accurate at all. It’s not the most colorful place in the world, but it’s most certainly not 100% gray/ blue everywhere.

I go to NYC all the time. I love it. Kickass food. [COLOR=‘Red’]But in terms of architecture and color I still prefer Philadelphia. I wish there was an alien invasion game set there.

I’m just hoping with this climbing system that the buildings will all be scalable. That would be fucking awesome.

Aliens wouldn’t make it in Philadelphia

But they all felt the same and had the same outcome.

Crysis 2 does feel a lot better to play. Even this unfinished one.

Agreed.

Well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.

I played it, I liked the open gameplay, and how the nanosuit was simple to control. I really don’t see why they needed to make it simpler to use for console. They could have used a pop up menu + dpad, same as the PC menu. My console playing friends I showed didn’t have trouble using it at all.

and Yahtzee recommended the game too, so good enough for me

I will probably like Crysis 2, but that doesn’t change the fact that the nanosuit was dumbed down more then it needed to be. You can’t even use strength in multiplayer except for “kicking cars.”

[Medevilae]

The game no longer gets past the start for me. It crashes on the opening logo cinematics.

Did you try the solutions in this thread?

[DeleteThis]

Too lazy to read last few pages, but I thought the game isn’t coming out until March 22. So how are you guys talking about glitches in the game?

[Imonfire]

Edit: Leaks happen.

I finished the game. Also I saw your edit.

you originally said “wait for the final version to be released” or something like that

[Fuskox]

So I DL’d the leak, and there’s no sound…any fix?

[sersoft]

again in system.cfg

s_FormatSampleRate=44100

s_MPEGDecoders=16

I didn’t have the problem myself but I was hoping to fix the random buzzing sounds to no avail

[Fuskox]

Um those aren’t in my system.cfg, mine has

; crysis2

sys_game_folder=GameCrysis2
sys_dll_game=CryGameCrysis2.dll
sys_user_folder=Crysis2

r_ShaderCompilerServer=
r_ShadersRemoteCompiler=0

log_IncludeTime=1
sys_languages=“english,french,spanish,german,turkish”

r_displayInfo=0

Added them in, was working fine with sound then started the game and sound just stopped. Ugh

Running in a lower resolution is all that was recommended but that doesn’t do anything.
