I really think they still don't want to show off the final version of the PC build yet.

ZimpanX



Yeah, but why?

Screens start getting around of the maxed out DX11 PC version and all of the console guys get pissed when they see the PS3 and 360 version.

It's marketing.

Cry of Duty: Nano Warfare!

Crytek is really dropping the ball, I really HOPE this is just a 360 build rather than a true PC version. I mean it is so dumb! How do I know wich settings is the better?, GAMER, ADVANCED, HARDCORE? It is all devoid of any sense of the degree of the graphical level.

[QUOTE="bamboomahah"][QUOTE="mitu123"]

I hate how it doesn't allow you to manually config the graphics settings and still no DX11, we are sick of DX9.

-Unreal-

Dude has crytek even talked about what dx11 will add? i dont think they have. they just say we support dx11, it's a multiplat console game it's not gonna look great to begin with.

I'm pretty sure the full game even in DX11 will look just as it looks in the demo.

I'm hoping for a Metro 2033 on this one and take advantage of DX11 and look way better than the console versions, one can dream.

Maybe that's the case but in doing so it also might piss of "PC Guys" who'll think it will look like a console game then maybe decide to not buy it.

Well it was fun, powers take some getting used to, I miss the wheel. :( Graphics are nice but nothing mind-blowing. Still, it felt like your run-of-the-mill shooter, but since it's multiplayer I'm not too surprised. I'm only looking forward to the singleplayer anyways.

the the splashes from bullets hitting water look better than crysis 2 , but a grenade blowing up water it actually causes a wave on killzone3 and crysis 2 it doesnt lol. in terms of map detail i gotta say killzone3 wins though maps alot bigger and more stuff in them.

The wheel is still there but not really all that useful in the MP now with the hotkeys and the suit and weapon customization on the fly being campaign only.

-and the gun fills half the screen-haberman13

comparison

It's not that bad, but still it does kinda' engulf the old model...

Dammit I thought you meant single player and got excited...oldkingallant

Same here :( Anyone know if Crytek's got plans to release a singleplayer demo?
I'm still hoping they can pull off another game similar to (the best of) Crysis 1. It's one of my favorite shooters, if they can get something even close I'm sure it'll be fun.

killzone3 doesnt have water reflections crysis 2 does crysis 2 bullet splashes in water are better than killzone3. Actual grenade effecting water's surface is way better on killzone3. both have up's and down's with water effects. killzone3 definitely has better textures than my pc running hardcore mode though.

Call of Blursis 2: Reach.

I'm not sure why they felt the need to blur everything.

Also I'm getting a lot of bugs, video not loading and audio dropping and stuff like that.

Decent enough otherwise, though a 12 player cap even on pc makes me wonder why they even bothered honestly.

Still looking forward to playing the campaign, where the real game is at.

Well...dammit, you're right. Why didn't I do that?

From a cursory look though, the equivalent crysis add-on is puny in comparison to C2's. It's guns are still of an oddly larger design for whatever reason. I'd prove it with another gif, but I'm too lazy to make another one right now :P

i do think thats the case, im not sure why, but i would love for them to release a demo chunk of the single player using the final build of the game on the pc, if they do that i think most of the people in this thread would be completely shut up

the wheels options are still present...some of them atleast, there just mapped to different places, i think they may have completely removed the speed mode option and strength mode

They are still there but "automatic", though the only way I really notice the speed mode is that it drains my suit, doesn't relly feel all that "speedy" at all, maybe just slightly faster than normal running speed from the first game but nowhere near the boosts of speed you got from the dedicated speed mode.

8800 GT 512 mb with 181.22 drivers doesnt seem to be crashing and it can do 1024x768 hardcore mode dx9. That still owns console graphics, which are lower than hardcore graphical settings.

So, is Hardcore the highest graphical setting available in the MP demo?

Anyway, getting a constant 60fps on those settings, 1440x900 with fraps turned on. Really curious to see how it runs without any limitations.
