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

Snip

[QUOTE=Fisk;27649735]So anyone got a free try code for XBL?[/QUOTE] Trial users can't download Gold-exclusive stuff (I've tried it before, waste of a 24h code)

[QUOTE=leach139;27649774]Trial users can't download Gold-exclusive stuff (I've tried it before, waste of a 24h code)[/QUOTE] Ow, ok nvm then.

[QUOTE=Fisk;27649803]Ow, ok nvm then.[/QUOTE] Why not buy a month of Xbox live? If you got some online games of course.

Damn this is ridiculous it has the same bugs as Crysis on PC. If the framerate goes up the game speeds up and if it drops then the game tries to keep it looking smooth. The bad thing about this is the controls feel like someone smeared jam in my controller. What the fuck Crytek?

the melee length is fucktarded really, this game feels like mw2 with super powers LOL MELEE FROM 15 FEET AWAY XD

Huzzah, but shame its not for PC. So why diddnt the americans let us Euro's play today anyway?

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;27649925]the melee length is fucktarded really, this game feels like mw2 with super powers LOL MELEE FROM 15 FEET AWAY XD[/QUOTE] People using speed mode and melee and then switching to strength and back to speed is fucking dumb. The power switches just fast enough for a super fast strength speed punch with a 50ft reach. Holy dicks

What do you mean switch to strength? I thought there was just armor and stealth.

[QUOTE=RAIDEX;27650009]What do you mean switch to strength? I thought there was just armor and stealth.[/QUOTE] Doesnt look like it to me. If memory serves me right strength is red and speed is yellow, looks like people are using those modes.

The pistol has more damage than any of the weapons that you get on the mp Beta.

So who wants to take bets on how long it is till they fix this shit? Im guessing before days over cause there appear to be quite a few bugs and sploits that need to be patched.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;27650027]Doesnt look like it to me. If memory serves me right strength is red and speed is yellow, looks like people are using those modes.[/QUOTE] AFAIK they butchered the game and only have armor and cloak in MP. If you hold down jump you do a strength jump and it takes away energy. and sprinting takes down energy too.

Why isn't it letting me download this. I've got a months membership on Gold. It still says "Buy" and then tells me to upgrade to some shitty-ass family pack for £65. [editline]25th January 2011[/editline] It's working now. The Xbox doesn't seem to be very good at recognising if you have gold or not...

I would go and fire up the Xbox to try the demo, but I really can't stand the Xbox controller for FPS games. I'm fine when it comes to Sports or RPGs, but FPS no way :P

[QUOTE=BigHeaded B;27650424]AFAIK they butchered the game and only have armor and cloak in MP. If you hold down jump you do a strength jump and it takes away energy. and sprinting takes down energy too.[/QUOTE] Yeah its like that in Crysis as well so that doesnt surprise me. Was playing a little while ago and it appears some people have found a way to use Strength and speed. Anyone have any idea on how this is done?

[QUOTE=superdinoman;27649998]People using speed mode and melee and then switching to strength and back to speed is fucking dumb. The power switches just fast enough for a super fast strength speed punch with a 50ft reach. Holy dicks[/QUOTE] I miss the old method of power changing. And just so everybody is clear, when you sprint, it activates speed mode. Jump/melee/slam is power automatically. Only cloak and armor are toggle able.

Well I guess it's better that way since strength and speed were only situational.

[QUOTE=BigHeaded B;27650653]Well I guess it's better that way since strength and speed were only situational.[/QUOTE] I liked the old method better :frown:

I really hope the PC version doesn't have the 'sluggish' controls.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;27650692]Fuck me I didnt even notice that. No wonder this shit is bugged and glitchy as shit. I liked the old method better :frown:[/QUOTE] As do I, but it sorta makes sense. As stated before, speed mode was fairly useless to activate, it makes sense to have it go on when sprinting. I'm a bit disappointed in power mode, though. I just miss the radial changer.

Cloak saved my ass so many times.

[QUOTE=IceBlizzard;27650695]I really hope the PC version doesn't have the 'sluggish' controls.[/QUOTE] I hope it runs well on a semi average machine. Hopefully Quad core isn't a minimum requirement (I have Six core just sayin).

[QUOTE=cyclocius;27649241]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.[/QUOTE] You have to collect the dog tags from their bodies.

[QUOTE=IceBlizzard;27650695]I really hope the PC version doesn't have the 'sluggish' controls.[/QUOTE] I'm sure the sluggish nature of the game is completely due to the analog sticks.

[QUOTE=FearGX;27650776]I hope it runs well on a semi average machine. Hopefully Quad core isn't a minimum requirement (I have Six core just sayin).[/QUOTE] I dont see why not. My old PC has a Dual core and runs Crysis maxed out at 1680x1050. [QUOTE=BigHeaded B;27650787]I'm sure the sluggish nature of the game is completely due to the analog sticks.[/QUOTE] I have a 360 controller on my PC and Crysis does not behave sluggishly.

Is it just me or are the death animations fucked up?Someone shoots me in the back and I fly back and other shit like that

[QUOTE=superdinoman;27650826]I dont see why not. My old PC has a Dual core and runs Crysis maxed out at 1680x1050. [/QUOTE] Cry Engine 2 to Cry Engine 3 is a hurdle, as well as many Graphic tweaks, enchancements and improvements, especially some of the particle effects. I just hope Crytek adds some Optimization.
