[QUOTE=NotTarts;31021689]I can't make heads or tails of this. Is there even any lighting there? It looks like a room but I can't make out the walls. CryEngine is far easier to use than Source, but Source is more flexible if you know what you're doing (AFAIK).[/QUOTE] I'm comparing hammer to sandbox2, and I'm pretty sure sandbox2 is more flexible no matter what you're doing than hammer i dunno if the cryengine 3 code sdk can compare to the source engine code sdk since it isn't out yet, if that's what you meant

I'm probably wrong :P [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12527604/images/games/cryengine3/oceanfog.jpg[/IMG] Can anyone get the Modular Editor working? It looks like you can select a whole bunch of building modules and it generates a building for you (awesome), but I'm not sure how it works.

The best thing I cam do is generate an ugly island with an ugly texture and slap a few trees on it.

seems pretty ambitious

[QUOTE=Goodthief;31059698]wow that's amazing, too bad none of my friends own crysis 2[/QUOTE] Pretty much like this, thankfully some of my Steam friends do own it.

[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;31058041]Has anyone seen this [url]http://tech2.in.com/news/pc/crysis-2-coop-mod-in-the-pipelines/229622[/url][/QUOTE] Oh, so CryEngine 3 does have networked AI? Fucking finally, you don't know how much that pissed me off with the original Crysis.

Like Crysis 1, you can't interact with dead bodies. I think it's down to german video game law, and for the same reason I don't think any fixes are allowed on associated sites like Crymod - this is going on what I remember from Crysis 1. Anyway it's breaking immersion for me in my slow motion shootouts and I want to fix it. I've tried a flowgraph to possition and trigger a blood particle effect on bullet impact but bullets dont "hit" the dead body so it the effect spawns in the wrong place.. also there's no sound etc. Anyone know how to go about a better fix?

Still waiting for the Crysis 1 conversion

[QUOTE=Legend286;31064785]Oh, so CryEngine 3 does have networked AI? Fucking finally, you don't know how much that pissed me off with the original Crysis.[/QUOTE] What's networked AI mean?

Made with CryEngine 2 in Crysis 1, but whatever. [video=youtube;KaFFqxwSYt4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaFFqxwSYt4[/video] This was my second map. In my opinion it is [b]really[/b] easy to make good looking outdoor maps.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;31070151]What's networked AI mean?[/QUOTE] I'm assuming it means the AI is capable of working in a networked game, i.e. two people playing online in a map with NPCs will both see the NPCs doing the same thing at the same time because the AI is calculated server-side instead of client-side

2 questions 1) Is this game good? 2) Is it as good as the 1st Crysis

[QUOTE=lowlifeuk777;31075336]2 questions 1) Is this game good? 2) Is it as good as the 1st Crysis[/QUOTE] For all the crap people give it, it's a TON of fun in SP and it's pretty decent MP, but doesn't have much depth. It's less visually realistic than the first but it looks significantly "cooler." Think StarTrek 2009

Not as much.

Crysis 1 was way more fun. :v: Choosing angles of attack and styles are what made it so great. Crysis 2 just funnels enemies straight into you in most levels.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;31070151]What's networked AI mean?[/QUOTE] Well in Crysis you couldn't have AI in multiplayer because the engine didn't have support for it, but as there's a working coop mod in the works I presume they finally supported it with CryEngine 3. After all, what modern engine doesn't support multiplayer NPCs?

[QUOTE=lowlifeuk777;31075336]2 questions 1) Is this game good? 2) Is it as good as the 1st Crysis[/QUOTE] single player is a fury of orgasmic visuals multiplayer is as far as I can tell a bunch of cloaked people running around with a shotgun

Compared to Crysis 1, playing Crysis 2 really felt like I was playing an idiotproofed version of Crysis 1. It's hard to say what's wrong with Crysis 2, but overal the game just feels really confined and limited. The game takes you by the hand way too much, and the 'tactical options' it gives you, in the majority of cases, add very little in terms of an alternative approach. It's mostly just 'use this ledge for a shortcut', 'pick up this mounted weapon' and such. Things the player should easily be able to figure out on his own.

Guys, Sandbox 1.1. released...

[QUOTE=Goodthief;31084209]single player is a fury of orgasmic visuals multiplayer is as far as I can tell a bunch of cloaked people running around with a shotgun[/QUOTE] You forgot nanovision. That's all they do, walk around cloaked with nanovision until they see a heat signature. Then they either just blind fire or mash the melee key. It get's old real fast.

I myself have never even bothered to use one of the tactical options.
