[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;28891392]seriously who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make the gun take up a quarter of the goddamn screen and in some cases overlap the aiming reticule[/QUOTE] The game is consolified to shit, we know.

[QUOTE=Legend286;28891413]Valve.[/QUOTE] the only valve game that does that I think if L4D2, so no big loss, and besides it isn't nearly as bad as crysis 2 where judging from your weapon viewmodels you hold your pistol 2 inches away from your right eye

I've just finished the campaign. Now it's time for mult- [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/2z9ks5x.jpg[/IMG] [B]GODDAMNIT[/B]

oh for fucking fuck's sake

So any idea why my SLI'd GTX 480s aren't being used fully? I've tried with the default SLI profile and EVGA's "SLI Enhancement" one, but the usages are still at 99%/0%. And when I forced alternate frame rendering, my FPS dropped to around 20. [editline]30th March 2011[/editline] And I'm getting around 30 - 60 FPS outdoors (also around the same during gunfights, depends a bit), 70 - 100 indoors at 1920x1080 on Extreme. Is that normal for a single GTX 480?

Damn. MyCrysis forums are so fucking retarded. Everyone complains about no DirectX 11 for Crysis 2 but no one knows what DirectX is and how to friggin' spell it. [editline]30th March 2011[/editline] Fuck!

[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;28878592]Keep unlocking it in each pre-game lobby then it will eventually stay.[/QUOTE] And keep spending unlocks?

God damn you guys are lucky. I used my GTS 8800 and the game peaked at around 15 FPS, and I couldn't manage to up the graphics any without the whole machine shitting itself. Just ordered a new graphics card and it should get here today. I can't wait to play this game with manageable FPS.

Here's a story about my Multiplayer experience: [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/1_menu.jpg [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/2_full.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/2_full.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/2_full.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/2_full.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/2_full.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/3_lobby.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/4_promotion.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/5_headshot.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/6_conn_lost.jpg[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/1_menu.jpg[/url][/media]

Exactly the same story here and I pre-ordered this game for MP.

So, uh... what's the point of having advanced graphical configuration options when the game looks practically almost the same no matter what? Compare! [media]Crysis: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/300311/1301494697.jpg http://www.upload3r.com/serve/300311/1301494643.jpg[/media] [media]Crysis 2: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/300311/1301494771.jpg http://www.upload3r.com/serve/300311/1301494793.jpg[/media] Now, most people can run Crysis 2 at High, which is the lowest currently available level. What would added configuration options do apart from add the ability to make the game look slightly worse or better depending on your personal preference when you'd probably be able to do it more precisely using a configuration tweak?

[QUOTE=roxahris;28892085]when you'd probably be able to do it more precisely using a configuration tweak[/QUOTE] So, instead of using a menu that lets you change all of the graphics variables that really change something, you want to go look for a CVar list (or somehow get it from the console) and browse through the hundreds of variables (or search by keywords) to find the exact ones, then test each one out and see how they affect the game? Yes, doing it "by hand" would be good if the menu is lacking something, but if it's not, why not use it?

[QUOTE=zenith777;28891832]Here's a story about my Multiplayer experience: *Images*[/QUOTE] It's the same for me on the Xbox, except instead of server full messages I have to sit in the matchmaking lobby for 10 fucking minutes. Crytek need to fix this shit.

If you guys see a guy named Coldfusion with numbers in his name, leave the server, he's an aimbotter that sees through cloaks etc. He got 72 kills in one round.

For some reason, the game's performance has taken a drastic hit. I've OC'd my 5650 GPU to 600/900 and it runs the game at 25-30+ fps on 1440x900 at High settings. I hit a new level yesterday and ever since, the performance is terrible - I'm getting 15-30 fps at max now. I have used wasdie's config tool and another one but even tweaking the settings is resulting in terrible performance. It's now stuttering every few seconds too. Could it be my GPU ? I'm at 80 degrees max with 600/900

I think I'm done with multiplayer. There's too many connection issues to put up with and I get dropped from every other game. :frown:

[QUOTE=dass;28891778]And keep spending unlocks?[/QUOTE] You get the unlock point back. Just keep using that one on the same thing.

He sucked though so he wasn't much of a problem. I killed him 80% of the time because he would just run straight at me with an unsuppressed weapon and think that I couldn't see him. He also found a way to get in side the church on that exact map. One my my teammates killed him while he was in there with a grenade launcher. Serves the coward right.

This is seriously pathetic that I can just go into my XML files, make me have infinite energy and have it work in multiplayer. Seriously even MWLL does these checks, a fucking MOD for Crysis 1... [editline]30th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;28893595]You get the unlock point back. Just keep using that one on the same thing. [editline]30th March 2011[/editline] [/QUOTE] You don't even need to do that. You keep your unlocked attachment even if it says "locked" in the menu, as long as you don't go and buy something else. I put a silencer on my DSG-1 for example, lost it for whatever reason in the menu but earned my "unlock point" back, but I still spawn with it in-game and my sniper rifle still says "Silenced DSG-1" in the menu. [editline]30th March 2011[/editline] Also in SP I'm seriously getting pissed off at the pinger parts on hardest. It's insanely fatiguing having to play thorugh these big alien section, then deal with a Pinger + infinitely respawning enemies THREE TIMES IN A ROW back to back with no breaks. Jesus fucking christ

Is it somehow possible to play the Demo (I just want to see if i can run it) after it went offline? It took me 5 hours to download just to realise it's over :frown:

I was kind of wondering, what happened to the dynamic metal deforming they promised/showed in the trailers? I've never seen any of it in the entire campaign. Also its a damn shame they 'streamlined' the multiplayer, it used to be so awesome when you had enough funds to buy a TAC tank and fuck shit up with it.

Okay, so I just played through the 6th and last hour of SP on Soldier, and let me say, I was positively surprised how consistently they put minibosses in it, I like the SP in general, even though its hugely linear. The ending was extremely disappointing though, I expected an epic boss fight, what I got was prophet talking. I mean really. And I won't rant about MP any more, I'm just gonna replay campaign and wait for the SandBox.

yea i didnt like the last level. the cloaked cephs were too easy to kill and then i just stealthed past the rest of the regular cephs, as i didnt realise it was the last fight id have [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/blog/cheating[/url]

I [I]really[/I] don't like the MP. The demo was fun...
