The realness 2.0

Last Alcatraz Mod

Maldo HD Textures

To name a few. There are other mods that are maps away from the campaign of Crysis 2's story and they can look even better

Wow that texture mod is fantastic!! Gives me a reason to actually finish Crysis 2. I do wish grass textures for games would be like like actual blades of grass though. Seems like all grass textures look like crap, but hopefully someday that will be possible.

It would take extra power to render each individual blade of grass though which would kill your system

But check out this guys work, I used to follow his tutorials on CE3 stuff and he did his own grass it's pretty sick

This is actual grass and not some flat texture

I played through it with Maldo HD Texture Mod, Blackfire Mod, and Quality Mod. I never took any screenshots though to show you what it looks like

Actually it's still flat textures. And besides, the CryEngine SDK already produces extremely dense grass. You don't need to render blades of grass to have it realistic looking.

I absolutely hate blackfire's mod. It makes everything bloomy and blurry.

The blurriness can be disabled by pressing either O or P. There are 3 different levels of DOF. I played with minimum on but you can disable it entirely. I may not have noticed excessive bloom from the mod itself because I installed the mod before ever playing the vanilla game. There was a lot of bloom though

Ah I see. Yeah I know you can toggle the DOF but that's not what bothered me. The colours or something seemed off and everything was very hazy and hard to look at, the bloom was a bit much. I'm more a fan of just simple colour correction mods and textures anyway because vanilla C2 looks great it just needs a bit of tweaking

sorry to revive this but is there a way to get maldo HD textures to work with the realness 2.0? this whole time iv been using the blackfire mod because the majority of people seem to think its the best mod so i just went with that well today i decided to try the the realness mod, and wow, it looks so much better. wish i would have tried it earlier lol but i cant get the maldo mod to work with the realness, anyone know how? or if not are there other texture mods i could use with the realness instead?
