Crysis 2 Multiplayer Beta and how to play it TODAY (xbl gold only) - Games

How do I tell if I am hosting the match? I swear I am always the person with the best ping (4 green bars). In fact, the highest I've seen other than myself is 3 yellow bars. Also is there a reason why Xbox games(the ones I have played at least) don't have a numeric ping?

Why no PC beta dammit cmon crytek

[QUOTE=Brod Ster;27682364]Why no PC beta dammit cmon crytek[/QUOTE] console test

What's up with when you die? I swear every time I don't even notice I'm getting shot, them bam! Popping noises and instant death.

And Why small maps? I want to have large scale battles all over NYC, or at least larger parts of it

[QUOTE=stepat201;27679165]Calling it single-player heavy is pretty silly. A game like Red Dead, Elder Scrolls or Mass Effect is single-player heavy. Crysis 2 will be about as single-player heavy as Call of Duty.[/QUOTE] Well nobody played crysis 1 solely for the multiplayer and I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same on PC for crysis 2.

Just doesn't feel good in any way[/QUOTE] thank god this is a ~beta test~

[QUOTE=Brod Ster;27682945]And Why small maps? I want to have large scale battles all over NYC, or at least larger parts of it[/QUOTE] One map in a demo does not represent the rest of the maps shipped with the game.

Its really fucking addicting. I spent like 3 hours playing it and they just flew by. Its pretty average but damn i dont know why it was so addicting.

[QUOTE=-_- JJ;27678279]The best 2 strategies in my opinion 1. go stealth with shotgun 2. run round punching people know any other good one's?[/QUOTE] Get into the secret spot on top of the map and snipe. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] Also, FUCKING FREERUNNING FUCKYEAH.

Has anyone here pre-ordered it yet?

[QUOTE=5killer;27685298]Has anyone here pre-ordered it yet?[/QUOTE] I will be once it is on Steam (assuming it comes to Steam)

The multiplayer felt so played out it wasn't even funny

The demo is really fun actually, there are a couple of flaws and quite a lot of bugs, but I'm sure or hope at least, the actual game will be a lot better. I'm annoyed though about how it's a bit like a cross between halo and call of duty. I really don't want this game to turn out like that. Shame I'm not getting this on PC though, it would be so much better.

Aw, just multiplayer. Was hoping for a SP demo on pc.

I wished they'd give a Singleplayer demo but this is still fine.

My Xbox locks up whenever it loads into a game. Guess I'll wait for the PC demo I guess.

At least we'll be able to see if the game is actually clunky or not.

I swear to god if the PC version is only 6v6 with P2P like the Xbox version I'm hopping on the next flight to the UK to kick Crytek UK's development staff in the balls. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] Seriously. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] All of them. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] In the balls.

I agree. Part of what Crytek should have been doing specifically for the PC is to make some large scale maps for at least 32 players.

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;27666134]lol,you're right. Levels,attachments,killstreaks... Now it only needs camos.[/QUOTE] Crysis had that shit before cod 4.

Yay, PC demo coming soon.

Crytek already stated that there will be a higher player count on the PC.

Whoa what the hell happened to the posts here? It's like some of them vanished

[QUOTE=redBadger;27701329]Crytek already stated that there will be a higher player count on the PC.[/QUOTE] Did they say how high? To be honest I don't see the rooftop map working well with too many players so hopefully some other maps are designed for more.

[QUOTE=Black0ut;27702373]Did they say how high? To be honest I don't see the rooftop map working well with too many players so hopefully some other maps are designed for more.[/QUOTE] All they said was, "higher".

PC? Hell yeah, let's see If I can max it with my 6870. :smile:

Pre-launch demo release? That means we wont even get to try it on the PC for another two months! What the fuck.
