[QUOTE=Xenomoose;28894240]The Cloaked Ceph before you entered the Spire were the epic bosses. They'd probably be a bit more epic if you couldn't just stealth-kill them.[/QUOTE]

I activated Nanovision and sprayed them down with the Scarab, and then I hit the last one in the face with the Jaw. Weren't too hard.

Also, how can I replay the campaign without loosing anything, I heard that's possible?

[FlyingDog]

[QUOTE=Mrfantasticool;28894141]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.[/QUOTE]
Some of it's still in there, shipping containers will bend if you land from high enough up next to them, some dumpsters and garage doors will do the same. It's supposedly procedural, as you said, so in theory you could apply the modifier to any object. I remember using the Sandbox 2 editor solids to make breakable walls. It was buggy and it didn't look great, but if you made the area small enough it wouldn't matter.

So you are expecting me to look at some obscure, shitty, wiki that is probably edited by 12 year olds that decided to name Nomad "Jake Dunn". There is no official source from Crytek that refers to Nomad by that name.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;28892212]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.[/QUOTE]

Find a different lobby. The host sucks.

How did you get 16 players? I thought the rentals only allowed 6v6 for ranked.

[Raidyr]

Lots of 8v8 ranked servers up.

Yeah.
Hop to it.

[marticus]

I'm really dissapointed with the lack of graphics options, but mostly the half resolution textures.
Whyyyy? This is PC ffs.

[/QUOTE]

Because I haven't tried that like 100 times already. Thanks. :rolleyes:

The problem is it doesn't match you up to people nearby, it just dumps you anywhere, so you end up with a host halfway across the world.

[ThePunisher1]

Having major difficulties trying to play online, every single server I join cant seem to start the match, the ticket for the match just continually resets to 10.

Actually, if you look them up in the Sandbox Editor, you can see the real names of ALL the Raptor Team members. Prophet is Major Laurence Barnes, Psycho is Micheal Sykes, and I forgot Aztec and Jester's names but they are in there. How's that for official?

EDIT: Found the other two names. Aztec is Harold Cortes and Jester is Martin Hawker.

carlos hernandez and tyrone johnson

that's not their actual names but it might as well be

[Tuskin]

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;28895669]Psycho is Micheal Sykes[/QUOTE]

Which is also why in Warhead at the bottom right of your HUD it says "Sykes Mod"

Psycho modded his Nano suit? Woah

[Generic.Monk]

[QUOTE=rooky;28893182]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[/QUOTE]

Turn down AA using the config tool, I'm running at a constant 30+ FPS on all extreme except AA on a 4870.

I kinda tried some editing, of course it's absolute crap but everyone has to stat somewhere :shobon:. Some tiny spoilers in the video seeing as it's a singleplayer video :v:

Hooray, apparently Multiplayer is down.

[b]Edit:[/b] It's back up by the looks of things but Friends is being particularly unstable

[chills2]

Damnit, Air Stomp was working again for a while and then BAM, no damage.

[Xenomoose]

I, too, am disappointed with Air Stomp. If they upped the splash-area a bit (and by "a bit", I mean "3-4 feet") so that you wouldn't have to get right on top of someone to actually affect them, I'd be happier. I mean, I'd understand if it was just a multiplayer thing for balance reasons, but there's no justifiable reason for it to be so nerfed in SP as well.

[chills2]

It's a bit of a joke, especially since people tend to move before you land and then they just spin and kill you.

[Xenomoose]

[QUOTE=chills2;28896226]It's a bit of a joke, especially since people tend to move before you land and then they just spin and kill you.[/QUOTE]

If you could still have enough energy to armor or cloak and find a hiding spot to recover it'd be better. But usually a failed Stomp is a Death Warrant.

[Lizzrd]

It'd be nice if it worked like melee did.
Tap ctrl, do less damage but retain about half energy.
Hold ctrl, instant kill, lose all energy.

Horrible music choice.

[FlyingDog]

Air Stomp is a bit useless, but apparently it grows in size and power the higher up you do it from, to a maximum of 220 damage over 7 metres.

[Puvleek]

[QUOTE=Kopimi;28896804]Horrible music choice.[/QUOTE]
It's just a bit too loud.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw the ending.

So basically, don't try to do it from a 2-story rooftop like I did, and instead try for several stories up? Got it.

[Matthew1]

The multiplayer is addicting on this even if it is a little annoying with the not so good hit detection and the fact that the Scar is kind of the only good weapon on multiplayer. The sub machine guns suck.

Also has anyone had the bug where after you stealth kill someone on multiplayer, you can't shoot your gun?
Also level 12 being the highest level you can get your stealth/power/armor up to isn't very good

[Chickens!]

I'm gonna leave multiplayer for a while until the next patch, because between the Perma-strict NAT and the buggy MP the game is just making me angry.

I'm just not playing until we get multiplayer stats to save properly and ranked matches starting.

Honestly I'd LOVE DirectX 11 but my main focus is just being able to play the fucking game lol
Such a shame too, the gameplay is really fun but I'm annoyed by the fact that I need to re-create my class every round.

Could you give me some examples of what would be more fitting?
Fitting music is probably one of the few-ish things I'm absolute rubbish at. :saddowns:

I don't understand why people make hacks. They do it for a game which doesn't benefit them pretty much at all, but fakes thinking that they are good

[rrkpp_]

I hate hackers just as much as you guys but oh my god can we stop all asking "WHY DO HACKERS HACK I MEAN JEEZ ITS NOT LIKE UR ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING".

Seriously, stop fucking asking that stupid question :colbert:
Hackers hack because it's fun to see yourself getting tons of kills, lots of points, etc, its fun to laugh at people because you're trolling/griefing them, it's fun to exploit problems in a game you probably think is shit, and think to yourself that somehow you being a huge douche is "sticking it" to the developers, and the poor saps that DARE to buy a game you don't like.

Everyone knows why hackers hack, so stop asking that stupid question please.

[Legend286]

I finished the SP, spoiler time.

[sp]The part where I found out Hargreave was a preserved body was cool, and when Tara revealed she was CIA all along. Then we all went for a beer in central park but before we could drink the Ceph made the park rise up into the air. We had to go in a helicopter to get to and fight in the park which was good but we nearly died, but at the end we found out we weren't dead because prophet told us and got up to see HUGE CLIFFHANGER and CONFIRMED SEQUEL and the fact the suit is talking for me, which was coooool. Then we came all over.[/sp]
