Well after downloading the SLI patch from EVGA I seem to be getting an average of 110-115 on skyline. millerlight89

Playing the PC beta, no sound. Using a Logitech G35 Headset.......

I got the same problem, they most likely won't fix. Best to just run it though speakers.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Can you run Crysis that well. I wish this stayed exclusive. When Crysis came out, it was mind blowing. Now not even the environments are destructible. Such a disappointment . Wish it used up some of that hardware. Ah well, there's Shogun II and Battlefield 3.GeneralShowzer

They were destructible only on DX10 servers in Crysis. DX9 servers were static.

The destruction is in the beta. It looks awesome.

Isn't MP just everyone running around cloaked...?FelipeInside

In the last game i played everyone was running around in Armor playing it CoD style.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Yes, but the same ammount of time passed, from Far Cry to Crysis and from Crysis to Crysis 2. And we've actually gone backwards. Crytek lied to our faces. I remember stuff like "This will be a PC game, not a console game" or "We're not showing PC footage because it looks real" I actually believed that. Not buying.GeneralShowzer

Uhm. Who the hell are you quoting?

I believe Crysis only stated that the PC version would look better than consoles, and it does. They also stated that this will be a pc game, which it is. If feels fine.

Those who are yelling out "consolized" dont understand that its really just some of the textures + FOV that are changed for consoles. The game feels good on the PC and i couldnt picture playing it with a controller.

It's not.

And its true, Crysis 2 does look far better than the console version, that is not a lie.

Secondly "a true PC game" is an opinion, a matter of perspective.

When creating a multiplat game, you cannot make the versions too different. They carry the same name and should be the same game. They have given us better graphics, as most multiplat PC games do. They did a good job optimizing and made it feel right on the PC. In their opinion, it is a true PC game. I agree with them.

All of you just be glad that you could even play it:P I've been stuck at the login screen forever, will have to wait till tommorow now which will probably make me the last person left to try the demo at which rate everyone else will have gone because of their disappointment.

I agree with GeneralShowzer on this one, but it's only a MP demo. Maybe they just ported from the XBOX demo to get it out for PC (things like PRESS START etc). Maybe, MAYBE... the final PC version will have graphic options and other stuff....?FelipeInside

I finally played it. It connected.

First of all i run it on hardcore with good framerate.

The game does not looks as good as crysis imo. It looks as good as the console footage i saw in youtube. SERIOUSLY. I dont know whats up with the engine but the screen reminds me more of forced blury-nes like some consoles game did, rather the crystal clear crysis graphics. The only reason you cant spot people cloaking is becasue its not sharp enough to spot the little edges. I am not saying its full of jagies, i am saying is blurry as hell.

The gunplay does not feel like crysis at all. It feels like your average cod ripoff with console/halo like FOV that feels like its zoomed in and your weapons are oversized and the sights aiming is too damn zoomed.

Hell, some people use the pistol without aiming because of the zoomed in sights.

There are alot of mechanics i dont get in the game, such as the grenades, the sniper rilfe zoom that demands that you press the meele button to zoom in and the suit modes are crap. The armor mode is running down without getting hit. WHAT THE HELL? I am not a starship in star trek, i want armor mode to be activated at all times without running down....also the nano-blur when you activate it, is terrible.

I wont even get to the fact that you cant sprint without wasting suit energy.

It feels like they did it to streamline the hud or something, like they couldnt add many scripts in the game.. in short it is an unnesasary crap design move and it reminds me of universal ammo in deus ex invisible war.

This is straight x360 console port. Thats all i got to say.

As for the game itself? Lets just say that you never know when someone will appear from nowhere and kill you, the gameplay does not feel like what the trailes promoted, instead of encouraging movement, it makes everyone camp 24/7 to restore power.

Also i noticed how no one uses sliding.

This is a PS3 port, that's the one with the Start button:P

Yeah, and that's why it costs 60 dollars - it is the console game.

Found this, If someones interesting In attempting to remove Motion Blur.

+cl_fov=90 +r_DrawNearFoV = 90 +pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov = 90 +r_MotionBlur=0 +g_skipIntro=1
Try adding this to the game's shortcut, according to some people the launch options aren't disabled.

GAF says it doesn't work properly, it turns back to default FOV during sprinting:

As for the lack of graphics options, Crytek's senior community manager says, "The demo does not feature everything included in the retail version of the game; this includes menu options."

Yeah, it doesn't have the nanosuit showcase option:roll:

Armour/Shields use energy, so it's natural that it runs down (specially on a mobile device such as the nano suit)

I agree with your post though, the little I played I felt I was playing console instead of PC.

Still early to tell, have to wait and see final product.

What you mean budget cuts? Its like they changed completly the way it works. Instead of simply making the armor a little tougher. It now makes a shield on the player that runs down constantly.

Also would it hurt them to put this map in?

Also ps3 gameplay and it does not look a bit worse in my opinion. If this is the "the game will be the same in all platforms but pc will have better graphics"

I wonder how rage and skyrim will turn out since they say that they will look pretty much the same in all systems.

I'm enjoying quite a bit as well, very fun, I like the smaller maps, it keeps the action going. I like the ability to spot enemies with the binocs like in BC2. I like being able to jump up and down levels at a time. The cloak is fun as well but I think I actually like speed and jumping better. The unlocks are there but not as numerous as in CoD, it strikes the right amount of balance of reward. The graphics in my opinion are fantastic, I don't know what everyone is complaining about, more importantly my FPS stays steady in the low 40s most of the time. I wasn't really expecting much out of MP, I mainly pre-ordered for the SP, so this is definitely a nice bonus. I hope Crytek will have good support for it, hopefully some more maps and unlocks in the future.Gooeykat

The demo was actually just as generic as MOH imho nothing really stood out as amazing. Really felt like COD mixed with halo reach, but somehow not as special as either.

Although the game ran great and smoothly. Also despite me having 200 ping, I did not notice any visual lag I am very impressed with that. I knew the multiplayer was going to be meh, getting crysis 2 for the story. Demo was a good benchmark though

Just took some screen with glow disabled.

This game is running horribly. I know I only have a GT220, but my monitor is 1440x900, and I can run Crysis and Warhead on a mix of medium-max settings and get 40+fps. I can't get more than 31 with gamer, even with overclocking my GPU. Is AA enabled no matter what? That killed my FPS in Crysis, and turning it off is what gave me great performance, and I think that's the case here.

You understand that the GT 220 is a giant peice of crap right? what the hell did you expect?
