Found this on N4G site, the download is 1.6gb as someone found out on steam servers, so it matches, and the download is from EA's site after all.

Sweet, downloading now. Though it probably won't work since the servers probably aren't up yet.

I know I'm just being paranoid, but where does the demo link exactly come from :?

Just want to make sure this isn't some elaborate bull.

God damn it! Just installed the demo, and they locked the graphics options... I'm guessing this is running on DX9 or DX10... no DX11 guys sorry... and you can't play around with the graphics options its not available in the demo. It locked out! damn you Crytek!

Create an account at Mycrysis.com, then login with that info.

Will I use that when I get it on Steam too?

Edit: and would it be possible to change my username?

The hardcore settings look better than the beta. Just sharper textures and more detail.

They did? You can still select from three modes. "Gamer", "advanced", and "hardcore". I don't which is supposed to be the highest and lowest though. I'm guessing "gamer" is lowest and "hardcore" is highest. Regardless, it looks like ass and plays like ass on my rig. Maybe the apparently slow framerate was due to lag though, I only played one match. Assuming it was low FPS though that better get fixed. There's no reason at all why a rig like mine should be getting crap FPS in this game, especially considering I was pulling 60FPS average with CCC level 6 in the original Crysis.

Lag lag lag lag I mean Internet lag, game runs fine on hardcore. All the servers are in Aussie and places that aren't the US, which means they suck.

It runs really well on the ol' girl and looks pretty good. But I am also wondering what the settings are set to. Originally it had my resolution at 1040 x and it was windowed despite being set to full screen. If anyone else is having this problem just crank up the resolution. I set mine to the native 1400 x 900 and it still runs okay. The suit powers have been reduced. So you have Armour, Cloak and vision like a zoom thing. High jumping is automatic now. Not sure how I feel about that. Just glad to get this up and running!

lol what is with the Press Start at the beginning! I wasted half an hour looking for the start key!! Hello?! Where are you?! :lol:

So I turned on FRAPS and apparently my framerate is okay on hardcore (ranges from 35-55). I'm guessing the issue is connection lag and the terrible FOV settings.

There seems to be a good amount of AA being applied, I can barely see any jaggies standing still at 1680x1050. I'm sure I'd get like 60fps with my GTX285 if it wasn't for that...

Crysis 2 doesn't use MSAA i believe but a postprocess AA mixed with temporal for far away stuff.

It's pretty fun. :)

But why do they keep on locking the graphics settings? I think many inluding myself downloaded this as a way to see how good it actually can look and how well it runs on your system.

Aslo I feel a really do miss the dedicated speed mode compared to this automatic one you barely notice. The lean to suit power hot keys swap annoys me sligtly as well but than I can live with, not that bad.

Still taxes the system, would like to try it without AA...
