15 minute Interview with Crysis 2 Multiplayer lead level designer

http://traffic.libsyn.com/radarhead/THEGAMEOVERCAST_EPISODE_13.mp3(SKIP TO AROUND 28 MINUTES IN)

Intersting stuff:

Parkour type movement kinda like mirrors edge

clas.s based

Co-op possibility

Nothing like Crysis Wars

Crytek guy thinks crysis 1 multiplayer sucks

Perks and more CoD type of play

Major letdowns:

No prone

No vehicles in multiplayer

Other:

These guys think that the 360 version looks great and runs amazing.

I hate perks and the unbalance they bring, and I liked Crysis Wars. I'll be buying it no matter what, but I really wish they could of been inspired by something other than CoD.

What I've seen from console Crysis 2 so far is hardly what I'd describe as looking and running great.

And why no prone? I spent half of Crysis 1 proned :?

Whats the point of perks? The nano suit has perks! Why make A COD style multiplayer when we already have COD? This is bad.

Parkour movement and Co-Op are welcome though.

Does a game really need prone when you have cloak and crouch?

^Plus if it can stop the dolphin jumping. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Dolphin jumping lol. Let's be fair guys, Crysis multiplayer CAN ONLY IMPROVE. Power Struggle was awesome, but the overrall package was very meh. Perks can be good, if balanced, and I'm sure I read somewhere that there will NOT be Killstreaks. That alien gunship seen in the demo drops off pods in a game type similar to capture the flag / king of the hill. You have to hold the proximity of the pod from the other team. I have faith in the guys who made possibly the funnest multiplayer game of all time (Timesplitters), to deliver an awesome multiplayer. All I want to know is, if there will be a "Virus" mode, from Timesplitters... The amount of fun me and my mates had with that gametype alone was immense.

Yes. Crouch certainly did'nt get the job done in Crysis 1 if that's how you were playing.

I spent a load of time getting spotted by boats while trying to hide in the jungle, even proned.

Thanks for the share! Watching now

So Crysis Wars > Crysis 2 multiplayer confirmed.

Reduction from 32 to 12 players, much smaller maps, no vehicles no objective-based modes and probably only deathmach variants. Maybe even on-fly weapon customization disabled. Meh.

They spill most of the good features from Crysis Wars, the only good news that I see is the existence of a global ranking system with 80 levels and the unlockable stuff, but the game will have no legs with a cap limit of 12 and without a objective-based game mode; will flop in mp as Haze or Gears Of Wars.
