The Marshall and the Feline are my best weapons. There just so satisfying to use.
Though I occasionally use the K-Volt, but the low-damage is a big turn off for me.

Or it's a lot harder to fix bugs in the version that runs on thousands of different computers.
My laptop can handle this for the most part. Sadly, it overheats and stutters real bad after a few minutes
[QUOTE=jechtman;28988958]I'm liking this, Crysis 2 is running much better on my PC than the previous 2 were.
And just to crank it up, I manage to get a constant 9-15fps at extreme with 1080 res and no vsync with the following important specs:

[*]E6550 2.3Ghz
[*]Low Profile GT430
[*]4Gb DDR2[/list]

Thats because the game doesn't have the same graphics as the first two, its worse so that it could be on consoles. And the online saving is bullshit, I gained two levels and unlocked around 3 or 4 medals and than my internet cut off for 10 seconds and I lost all that I gained. So if you play for like 10 rounds, you should click leave session and upload your stats and shit so you dont lose hard earned stuff.

No its not, the textures are half the size they were in the first crysis.

It also plays nicer since their isn't tons of moving trees, with the shading from those moving trees.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Which it isn't unless you're a hardcore graphics whore.
I think Crysis 2 looks a lot BETTER in terms of overall looks.

Of course it's a bad thing, why the fuck would it be a good thing that the textures have been watered down? For better performance? Well why the fuck not include the high res textures for people who can handle it to switch to it, while people who want better performance, switch to the lower res textures? Isn't that how pc gaming works?

I believe this is true too, overall the game looks better than the first, especially the shaders, but the textures can be god awful in a lot of places.

Mainly because he's right, the graphics and technology in Crysis 2 is overshadowed by it's predecessor, which should be obvious when you compare screenshots, and even more so when you realize Crysis supported DirectX10 in 2007, whereas a 2011 game that is successor to a series of games that made huge graphical advancements in the industry only supports DirectX9.
[QUOTE=redBadger;28988550]Because Crytek doesn't want to lose their grasp on the console crowd. Consolers know nothing about Crytek, and a game with a ton of bugs can give an unknowing gamer the wrong idea.[/QUOTE]
Wrong. PC Gamers represent a fraction of sales from crysis 2 in comparison to console gamers, that's why. It's all about the $
The way I see it, Crysis was an impressive technical feat, but Crysis 2 is a more solid game overall.
Just my two cents.
Maybe New York required to much textures to put? :v:

They said Steam was slow at loading for now.
If you think about it, the game is close to 8GB in size which is close to what a single DVD holds. Seeing as the xbox360 needs to be able to read games from the disc in order to play them, the contents on a 360 DVD can't be compressed (unlike a PC game where you can cram and compress a lot of data on the DVD but have the game install on a HDD to be a much larger size).
So basically, the texture sizes are a lot smaller in C2 than in C1 in order for it to fit within that 8-9GB window that they need for it to work on the 360.
This game gets trapped on the opening eye thing and it won't go forward :/ what do I do

The way I read it was "They need to earn the console gamers' trust." If that were true, Infinity Ward wouldn't exist anymore.
Bah, It's nothing to quarrel over.
Mmmm k, just finished the game.
[sp]So Prophet was alive all along. Yeah, he started talking to you using the suits voice, but in the end he's there. Maybe he's with you in spirit, or something. And why is it when that dude at the end asks you your name, you say Prophet. Has he controlled your body or something?[/sp]
Also, it's freakin' stupid that aliens are attacking the earth and humans are fighting each other..
Most of those console fixes are fairly simple ones, note that the PC has large issues that need immediate attention, like login issues, serial key issues and fixing up the anticheat system. After that, Crytek can focus on the little issues.

[sp]Alcatraz himself can't speak, he's pretty seriously wounded (from what I've gathered, 1/4 through Legion). Prophet's consciousness is within the suit, and can speak through the suit.
It's also stated that the Ceph aren't aliens but the previous race before humans. They are underground, hence the whole final level
Not sure on why exactly CELL was sent in to contain the infection, i'm assuming it was Hargreave-Rasch pulling the strings.[/sp]

We have to stop using spoilers.. how much longer should we?
There's no doubt that the graphics in Crysis 2 were designed with consoles in mind. That does not mean that the engine it's running on is worse than CryEngine 2. It has a lot of groundbreaking tech, and it can still make levels as big as the previous one. Hell, we've seen the first level of Crysis running on CryEngine 3, granted, it looked like shit because they were showing off what it'd look like on PS3 and Xbox, but still. The potential and capacity for the engine is there. They just used it more sparingly this time around and seem to have focused more on an overall enjoyable experience, rather than pushing the boundaries for tech. If you were to go into your config files and crank everything up to the absolute maximum, even the most powerful current PC would start to struggle with running it.

[sp]Nah, Hargreave pretty much explicitly states that the Ceph evolved in the oceans of Earth, but flew off into space/buried down into the ground. Which also explains the sudden radical change in Ceph physiology. The ones on Lingshan Island had adapted to a life in space, what with travelling in it and all. I think Hargreave is pretty succinct when he says that they're back to do the spring cleaning and aren't liking what they've found festering in the fridge. Also, they break our bodies down to keep from leaving a mess. They're cleaning up after themselves more than anything else. [/sp]
I say we keep up the spoilers for at least another 2 weeks, at the minimum. They aren't that much of a hassle.
As for CELL, [sp]I'm kind of inclined that Hargreave wanted CELL to take a more agressive role against the Ceph, whereas the Marines would be more focused on rescue of civilians. CELL is a subsidiary of CryNet Systems which is a subsidiary of Hargreave-Rasch, if i'm reading this correctly.[/sp]
