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

[QUOTE=backfoggen;27647858]bad. they're very delayed. people say it feels like you character actually weighs something, but for multiplayer it just blows. pc version apparently doesn't have that problem.[/QUOTE] I must agree, hooked up the Xbox and oh lawd. When you press an action it takes about a second for the action to actually start. Im sure this will get fixed.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;27647231] (Yes I know Xbox has Dev tools but for levels not mods)[/QUOTE] xbox has dev tools? Since when? You mean sandbox supporting xbox? That's only for cryengine licensees.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;27647883]xbox has dev tools? Since when? You mean sandbox supporting xbox? That's only for cryengine licensees.[/QUOTE] As far as I know you can link the Sandbox editor from PC to the Xbox but you may be right havent been keeping up with Crysis 2. Also the menu layout in the Demo is awesome.

[QUOTE=Melon_Mapper;27647866]All console games do that :P, crappy pads, also when is the actual demo out?[/QUOTE] not really. killzone 2 and crysis 2 were the only games where i actually felt handicapped by the lags. look at halo reach, which also has some framerate drops but keeps the precise controls all the time.

Oh, the closed beta is the demo...

[QUOTE=Melon_Mapper;27647942]Oh, the closed beta is the demo...[/QUOTE] Yeah its alright for an Xbox game but you can see where they cut stuff back in comparison to PC. Frame rate is not stable at all I keep getting drops in particle dense areas and when you blow shit up the frame rate seems to hit 20 or less. You can see they spent a lot of time on the ToDs to make the lighting nice but the texture and model quality is cut back and it looks like they are using some software AA to smooth edges. All in all its decent, definitely worth a download if youve got gold. Edit: My Xbox crashed from overheating :frown:

[QUOTE=defyant;27648025]atleast it's good that they're not trimming both down just to compensate for consoles, and instead just the consoles how's the combat though, and mode changing and stuff?[/QUOTE] They kept the nerfed super punch :crying: so no insta kills. They nerfed invisibility, if you get shot when invisible you die in a couple hits. Sliding is pretty boss though and super speed seems faster to me but there appears to be a delay as I said earlier when you do an action. Havent got a chance to try out the 2 powers at once thing as my shit overheated.

Ahahaha oh god, this is so bad. This game should never have been made for consoles.

Hahahaha the controlls are beyond aweful!!! i still enjoyed it though :D

You're lucky, I was standing there, saw an enemy turn invisible, I was walking backwards watching him, I clicked up on the D-pad and that brought the binoculars up, so I end up aiming at an enemy with binocs, and then dying.

Gameplay wise it's pretty decent. Got your create-a-class progression, the armor was simplified into pressing one button for Max Armor and the other for Stealth (things like super speed, superjump, and super strength are on by default). Weapons feel real nice, arguably better than CoD because besides the overpowered shotgun you can't really spray effectively. Included in the demo is a rifle, a shotgun, an LMG, and a sniper rifle as well as a pistol and grenade options. Headshots seem to do no more or only slightly more damage than body shots, which is a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. Spawns are pretty bad but then again it shares CoD's rotating spawn system, so it's no more troublesome than in those games. Real nice to see melee to the front requires two or three good hits, a welcome change from the more recent FPS games. The part where Crysis 2 fails (from what I have seen in my ~hour long gameplay) is technically, and boy is it some fail. Textures pop in and out randomly, animations get stuck on, models don't load properly, sound cuts in and out, FPS drops occur often enough to become annoying. Lag is absolutely atrocious, both network lag and the controller lag the press has been reporting on for the last 6 months. It takes up to 2 seconds for a kill to register as a kill, the killcams are completely of what happened on your screen. Hopefully some of these problems won't make it to the PC version, but I feel really bad for console gamers if this is the shit they have to put up with.

i've been sitting in the lobby waiting for a game for 30 minutes now ...

I really liked it, it's just that playing FPS's with a controller is fucking impossible. Takes too long to turn around and the aiming goes too fast.

I just tried to play it but I keep getting disconnected.

I'm disappointed.

I can't understand why EA doesn't release a demo for the PC. It's like they want the piracy numbers to increase.

Just played this, really enjoyed it honestly. Only thing I'm slightly confused about is how to get the "killstreaks" working, I can get MAXIMUM RADAR but that's it. Also, Xbox Live kiddies cannoy Comprehend Armour, it's all about Stealth with them. Some kid shouted at me because I was using Armour and he couldn't kill me.

Jesus fucking christ, the lag is unbearable. Shot registration is okay, but the game just feels generally slow. Nothing I do happens for about 2 weeks.

I love the gameplay, but I hate it on the Xbox. Crysis just doesn't feel right on a console.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;27649311]I love the gameplay, but I hate it on the Xbox. Crysis just doesn't feel right on a console.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's a fucking great experience, but only without all this delay. :argh:

97% from the download finishing and I get disconnected from live. What the fuck?

Are the vehicles back? I loved crysis wars. :saddowns: Fucking around with vehicles erryday

Why the fuck betas are for X360 only? This is incredibly stupid that it's not for PS3 and PC too.

[QUOTE=pawelte1;27649552]Why the fuck betas are for X360 only?[/QUOTE] Ask the producers.

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;27649539]Are the vehicles back? I loved crysis wars. :saddowns: Fucking around with vehicles erryday[/QUOTE] AFAIK there are no vehicles at all. There is a call-in alien gunship thing for 7 kills in a row.

[QUOTE=RAIDEX;27649590]There is a call-in alien gunship thing for 7 kills in a row.[/QUOTE] Lol. So the multiplayer is Call of duty: Future warfare.
