Crysis 2 PC demo is out

[QUOTE="AnnoyedDragon"]

Some images I managed to take before I got sick of the fragheads,

This really cannot be max, so shame on Crytek releasing it in this incomplete state. There is anticipation, and then there is ****ing off your fanbase.

[QUOTE="bamboomahah"]the backgrounds look so plain on crysis 2 just some simplistic buildings, lol killzone3's multiplayer map backgrounds makes crysis 2 look horrible.Solus_Christus

You're wasting your time with the flame bait, PC gamers aren't interested in defending this; when it is clearly behind its three year old predecessor.

and this isn't even maxed out dx11

Look at the roof texture on crysis wars, its no better than the textures you posted.

I doubt this will be like the first one. Crytek released a mp demo, twice in 360. We all know that they are targetting the cod players.

edidili

Yes to get the 360 owners they wanted to show off an online that might get the COD onlien players. But for Crysis its always been about Campaign, and judging from the 20-30 mins ive seen of the beta, the campaign for Crysis2 destroys the multiplayer once again.

Sorry but to me Stalker, Crysis,etc.. are all about campaign, online is just a bonus for those who like online. now with Crysis coming to consoles of course they want to get a peice of the ONLINE FPS love that people on xboxlive have.

We live in a ONLINE ONLINE SHOOT SHOOT world for videogames now, if you want to do really well on consoles for a FPS, most the time you gotta put in a multiplayer part.

We'll see about that.

What was the best part about Crysis 1 single player? It's open areas and sandbox feel. Say goodbye to that in Crysis 2. In the first one, the single player was the main focus while the mp was an afterthought. That's why the demo had the sp part of the game.

Crysis 2 is the other way around. They released a mp demo only in 360 ignoring the pc, in a console that is all about mp fps games. Now they released the pc demo and is still mp, press start (?) to continue with limited graphical options.

I hate the stupid menu that moves with your mouse. Hate it, hate it, hate it! :x

It looks so good in 3D... But I'm pretty sure it's using the fake 3D they implemented on consoles, because the framerate barely drops.

[QUOTE="bamboomahah"] level design kinda sucks actually u cant swim undernear the pier17 because of stupid ass invisible barriers.GeneralShowzer

What would be the point of being able to swim? That just nit picking.

It is the way they developed the game. The Sandbox allows for development, of the same things, to three different platforms at the same time. From PC to Xbox 360 and PS3. Of course, all the work has to fall and work with the lowest denominator's hardware. (The 360)

It seems that Crytek didn't bother to change different things regrading different platforms and their tastes.

Copy and Paste the Xbox360 Build onto all platforms = Less Cost.

X(

Played in FULL HD 1080P in Hardcore. Goes silky smooth in my HD 6950 BIOS flashed to HD 6970. It's pretty lame that there aren't more options in graphics settings.

my demo finished 10 min ago, just got back.

i take what i said earlier, maybe they had poor pc's who knows.

but i was getting 100+fps constant at 1920x1200 res in hardcore mode.

[QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"]

remember black ops on pc when it came out?

im hearing its just as bad, these kind of ports need to stop.

ZoomZoom2490

Black Ops honestly feels more like a true PC game than this. Not even kidding.

here is hoping the retail game delivers so more graphical tweaks/ScorpionBeeBee

It's not. Already confirmed. If the configs are encrypted in the final version we'll have no way to tweak it at all.

AHHAHHAAAH dude there's a life preserver in the water on pier17 if u jump on top of it, u can float stand on top/float with it LOLbamboomahah

People will break it.. But I really believe you.. That sounds like a absurd design decision.. Especially with the modding community behind the original.

Dude there has been nothing said about the configs being encrypted....... alot of demos dont let you do certain things that you can do in the full version.

If there is a link were Crytek says NO MODDING and CONFIGS BEING ENCRYPTED then please show me

I have to say the graphics are really great and it is not even DX10 or DX11. Playing right now on hardcore graphics setting generally staying around 40-60 frames per second. Really well optmized so far but I hope my frames won't go down too much when I play on DX11.

Crytek really screwed up not allowing to config the graphics. The bloom and motion blur is annoying.

[QUOTE="Snugenz"]

Wait, its like Halo and CoD ?. How is that even possible.

Snugenz

Do I really need to explain how that is possible?

Well considering they're fairly different FPS's then yeah, which part is like CoD and which is like Halo.

Hahaha, Call of Duty is Halo with military skins, only difference is CoD is a little more twitch gameplay. Atleast in my opinion, I'm not a fan of Call of Duty for that very reason.

Exactly, it should DEMONSTRATE what the game is actually like not be a beta test leftover. A DEMO should be almost like the full version except for being multilplayer only or having a very small portion of the game to complete (often times levels that are different from the real game).

Yeah? So your making baseless assumptions? Should we make this kind of assumption for Dragon Age 2? Oh thats right its GREYED just not activated right now.. Its a demo, you can not make a claim that it will not exist on release.. Its baseless.

Every other demo I played on the Pc allowed to to configure the graphics setting. Even in Crysis 1 demo.

Not Dragon Age 2 apparenlty :lol:, and rarely do the demos release with dx 10 or 11 capability that usually at the release of the game.

I hate demos.

There has to be more graphics options in the final release. I didnt think my GTX 260 could max the game and it did. I will wait on buying it though. No need to pay $60 for the single player.

I am glad you agree with me..

I've played several matches of the demo on PC and I'm really enjoying it. It's really fun and though it will be completely obliterated by BF3 later this year, it makes for a nice, fun distraction.

It's disappointing if the settings really are that limited, but eh, I'll live. It seems like a step down from Crysis and Warhead judging from the demo, and I know this angers a lot of people, but as for me, as long as I'm having fun I don't really care. It looks decent, it runs nicely, and I really enjoy how the MP plays. That's all that matters to me, tbh.

Still, it's a shame that I may not be able to push my rig with this game, guess if the rumors are true I'll have to wait for BF3 for that.

TreyoftheDead

Yeah. I say a lot of **** about the graphics and what-not on these forums, but I really did enjoy how the demo played for the most part. As long as you can toggle ADS in the final version, I'll be cool with it.

Did anyone notice the sky.... its a pasted texture, its not moving.... trees don't move either.... this is unacceptable for crytekLookAnDrolL

Again this is a demo not a benchmark.

We play games not watch em.

[QUOTE="devious742"]

Aim Assist is on by default

Really EA?:|

Solus_Christus

Any reason as to why you're comparing Crysis 2 MULTI to Crysis 1 SINGLE player?

Crysis Wars maxed with the highest CCC settings:

and this isn't even maxed out dx11

Do you really think that it will be that much different at release? Ok, let's say you're right, what about the demo. The maps are small, only 12 players but everything is static. There were no destructible objects at all. That's not the Crysis I know. Crysis was like this.

Crysis, needless to say, places graphical expectations on Crysis 2. Is it really that unreasonable that people want to look at them; and compare with its predecessor?

That makes no sense. Why would we take a precedent and compare the new iteration to the precedent ... oh wait.

Compare them all you want, but wouldn't it makes sense to factor in the gameplay? I've heard one complaint about the gameplay from every single person complaining about it. Which it's a cod/halo hybrid. WTH is wrong with that? Both games are AAA and great online. How many of you have actually played the game more than 10 minutes?

Graphics are a small part of what made Crysis great.

I made it quite clear earlier that I am not a multiplayer fan, and that the multiplayer demo's only use to me was to look at the game on my PC for the first time. Yet you still made that criticism.

haberman13, you're overreacting. the game looks nice and stop blaming consoles all the time and try to understand why developers tend to go multiplats these days. it's not rocket science, really.

Stevo_the_gamer

My point was that neither the beta leak nor the demo had destructible objects like Crysis 1. You really think Crytek somehow locked this feature until the release?

I find the gameplay to be pretty fun and decent. Jumping is great in this game along with grabbing on ledges and such.
