Crysis 2 newest 360 stress test footage!

Loookin good although i think its older(but newer than gamescom) than the sp one from Eurogamer Expo since there is no object motion blur.

BTW. i dont think we should really judge graphics from a bit low quality and blurry of screen video :P

How is this multiplayer test different than a beta?
This test differs from a beta in many important ways. First and foremost, a beta is generally feature-completed. Our test is being conducted very early in our development schedule, and as such many features have not yet been implemented. Additionally, Crysis 2's multiplayer will be polished increasingly more as development continues, so you may experience bugs, imbalance issues, or other quirks that would have already been fixed if this was a beta. This test is also very small-scale.

Looks ok. I was expecting something graphically better, considering people were hypeing this game console graphics king, but the footage for Killzone 3 still looks a lot better, at least for me.

As far as gameplay is concerned, it looks like it has CoD's gunplay (not to say that's bad), with some really cool abilities put in. Should make for a decent online community.

The animations look horrible. It's not running but sweeping fast across the floor. Well thanks a lot 360 for consolizing this potentially great game.

It's on PS3 a well. And I wouldn't blame consoles so much as I'd blame Crytek for making this choice with their game. A console is just a platform to run a game, developers are the people who make them.

This game has console'd written all over it. MFDOOM1983

Looks garbage. How sad. I expected alot from Crytek.

We'll see on release though.

killzone kinda sucks because u cant jump and shoot at sametime. I said this would unbalance the game before it was released and killzone 2 proved im right. i was on walkway seen person on ground below jumped down, when i landed i couldnt shoot right away and the other player killed me i couldnt shoot.dukenukemownsu

Shooting in midair is probably the most ridiculous idea ever ... Unless you plan on killing all your team mates

Killzone 2 is considered one of the most balanced multiplayer games with gen....not sure were you're coming from.

Also, not being able to jump/shoot = inbalanced? Seems more like you just sucked hard at the game. Jump/shoot is one of the worst things in shooters, and I'm glad to see it slowly die out. Not sure why people would want to play a game where everyone is hopping around like rabbits like it takes skill to do...

I dunno man ... If i was wearing all that gear and holding a fun i doubt it'd be able to shoot with pin point accuracy (or at all) after jumping ...

Also, running AND shooting an assult rifle? Almost as stupid as shooting in midair.

Recoil is a big issue here

Looks better than KZ3.Tessellation

Judging from this early,not yet completed and blurry video IMO yes.KZ3 was major let down when i saw it yesterday(graphics related).It looks crisper and more polished than KZ2 but with no post processing it looks kinda like Call of Duty.

Noooo It's not. The classes and the availability of them completely unbalance.

The assult class? Wow

Spawn Killing? Wow

How long it takes you to unclock a class? Leaves the opponent with a huge advantage. How long did it take YOU to unlock the sniper rifle?

Once again, it's ALL the developers fault. You don't blame CD players because a band finally made it big by sellout out to the general public: you blame the band. It's 150% Crytek's fault the game is as it is. Sure, they probably lowered the quality of the game to fit it on consoles, but who decided to make a console port in the first place? Wasn't a plastic piece of hardware, that's for sure.

Took me a weekend to get all the classes unlocked. Assault class can be overpowered when everyone spawns as them, but headshots = 1 hit kill for EVERY weapon, and players can lock out classes/abilities (which the Assault is almost always locked out). The fact that the game can be filtered by classes/weapons alone makes it pretty balanced in the most part.

As for Spawn killing, there's a reason we have a class that can deploy spawn points. It's not the game's fault if there are people who throw the spawn point in the middle of an open field :P

Looks like it's running on a embedded graphics card set on low setting, in safe mode on a PC.

OMG! What a pile of crap...I for one didn't love Crysis and warhead for its graphics because the game was great. Everything i saw from that video looked dumbed down from the 1st crysis. And no im not blaming consoles on the gameplay part anyway crytek you fail!

In whole honestly...WHAT is so good in that shot?Really...what?

So...instead of just shooting him the moment you saw him, you felt it was nessisary to jump down, and shoot at him in mid air...?

Yup, you obviously weren't all that great at the game.

Multiplatform development ain't as easy as it looked, huh Crytek?

It looks OK. Graphics are impressive of course, but I'm not interested in the MP component, mostly the SP. I'll be playing KZ3 and SOCOM 4 around the time this comes out. I wanna play Gears 3 online bad, but you know, XBL "Not Free"...

Edit: And also note folks, that Crytek (Germany) didn't make the MP, but rather Crytek UK (previously known as Free Radical!).

[QUOTE="xYamatox"]

[QUOTE="dukenukemownsu"] i seen a guy on the ground dude, and i jumped down to kill them...if i could of jumped and shoot i could of shot person while i was fallling, plus after i landed i still couldnt shoot and it caused me to die...i should have got that kill but all because of no jumping and shooting unbalanced the game.dukenukemownsu

Oh DAAAAAAMN! Everybody back away, Quake player in da' HOUSE!

Seriously though, Killzone =/= Quake. And shooting someone when you see them =/= camping, it's common freakin' sense. Don't blame Killzone because you wanted to play Quake, but turned on Killzone instead.

When I first got KZ2 it took me a solid 4 days to unlock all the classes. Since i made a new account it took me about 2 weeks to get just the medic class

LOL that's funny every shooter with a sprint button doesnt let you shoot your gun while sprinting. What they should do is let you shoot while sprinting..but the accuracy is alittle less accurate than hip firing. This would help to balance the games better and break away from this silly cliche. THIS NEED'S ADDRESSING^ dukenukemownsu

I'm not sure if I want to shoot while sprinting, but reloading while sprinting is great! The only game that comes to mind which allows it is KZ2. I think there's another that's slipping my mind...

No one cares about your pedigree in FPS gaming. Fact of the matter is this: A game does not need to be like Quake to be balanced. Just because a game doesn't have what you PERSONALLY want it in, does not mean it's unbalanced. For someone who has had such "indepth" handling on FPS games, I would assume you'd know better then that.

Some players seem to be split on the unlock system in KZ2, but it always let you filter your rank (thank goodness for custom server listings too! They better keep it in KZ3). Currently, they're a lot of hardcore players in the community, meaning most of them are higher ranked, but its surprising how many noobs / low levels I see playing :P.

Good thing they're changing the unlock system in KZ3 though. Every career is available from the start, you just have to gain unlock points to purchase your upgrades.

As for spawn grenades, they're changing it up a bit. Tacticians no longer have the ability to place a spawn grenade anywhere they want, but they're the only cIass that can activate predetermined spawn nodes around the maps. I think that's even better considering the tug of war battles that tacticians can now have with one another :P.

Edit: OMG, why are we talking about Killzone? Let's talk about Crysis 2!

Yeah, it's possible to shoot whilst sprinting, but it's not very practical. I'm not sure if it's a problem either way, but maybe it would be nice for at least one game to allow it huh?
