Crysis 2 360 impressions- Demo #2

Anyone played the demo again that came out yesterday? I thought this 2nd demo was great and they made a lot of improvements. The hit detection which was a big problem from the first demo has been fixed and overall it just feels like the game runs much smoother. The graphics are breathtaking and I can't believe they achieved these kind of visuals on the 360. All in all I had a lot of fun playing the multiplayer matches. Also the Peir 17 map is beautiful and fun to play on. Skyline is great too but I never got a chance to play on Pier 17 the first time around. Also I was surprised to find out that you could swim in the water on that map. Definitely picking this game up day 1!

This game will suck.

I thought the first demo was awesome. Hated it at first, but I gave it another chance and it grew on me. Didn't even know there was another out, but if they made improvements then I'm stoked.

It's still as horrible as the first demo.deleterguy

Did you really play the 2nd demo or are you just making a knee-jerk response from your dislike with the first demo. And if you did play it what to you makes it horrible? Horrible? Come on now.

Same here.

I'll be an oddball and say I like it. Like everyone else has been saying, it's pretty much a mix of CoD and Halo. I've played a ton of Halo multiplayer, but I've never owned a Call of Duty title, so that might be while I like the Crysis multiplayer. Horrible? Not at all. There's a very solid online offering here imo. But as addicting as CoD/BF/Halo? Probably not. Frankly, I'm more interested in the single player.

I also felt the controls were ironed out a bit in this second demo, noticeably improved from the beta, but they still take some time getting used to.

Played the last demo and enjoyed it. Lots of gameplay elements, sliding and climbing and what not. Fun in my book. The way I look at it its what Halo should have been this gen, instead of the stale gameplay we got. I actuallyfeel like a super soldier in Crysis...

I don't think people understand just how awesome that is to do. If it's within arms reach you can climb it and it definitely adds to feeling all super powerful with the nano suit.

Friggin awesome! All the run n gun CoD fanboys need to learn to use their brains, Not just their reflexes.

Eh, I thought it was okay. Nothing really special. I just wished the graphics looked better...orb_03_2006

Arguably the best graphics for a multi-console MP. So no idea what you're talking about...

BTW second demo was a lot better. Better FPS, controls felt directer and better hit box.

Yeah when I saw that comment my eyebrows went up in my head. I mean for cryin' out loud just take a look at the Pier 17 map and go down by the docks and check out the realistic 3D water. Heck jump in and go for a swim. You can even assassinate someone in the water I just discovered! Very cool stuff. I'm a sucker for water so when I saw it and took a swim I was in heaven. Lol I've died a couple of times checking out the scenery if I'm being honest here.

Theres so many games that I am unsure of this spring that I can wait for the review.

Just wondering did you try the new demo released yesterday? It's really good.

idk but i think it will be relased and ppl will be like "ohh cool......." and it will quietly die in the next few months i thought it would be more impressive but its like cod and halo had a baby nothing new but a generic fps

I disagree about it being generic. To me this is nothing like Halo nor CoD simply because of the nano suit. There's only so much you can add to a FPS game but the nanosuit really spices things up.

It's a big improvement. Energy drains almost too quick now, but it needed to be balanced somehow. I'm sold on it. Also, those graphics are amazing. It's damn near photorealistic at moments.

Still laggy, still sluggish, still as much popup and levels and unlocks from the other beta don't carry over to this one. I don't see why they bothered releasing a second demo, since (extra map aside) it's identical I'm hoping to see a great Crysis 2 singleplayer, but multiplayer is badBlack_Knight_00

Didn't experience any of that and pop-up was hardly noticeable to me.

havent tried it

It was alright. I think that it feels like a $30 purchase for me later one than a day one.

I DL'd the demo today and it was awful...I quit after 2 minutes. The visuals alone are enough to make you quit. It was talked about how good this Crytek 3 engine is and so far on consoles AND PC, its underdelivered.

I was disappointed in the new demo. Old one (hit detection aside) was better imo. What the hell did they do to the movement? Why does jumping feel so ridiculously light now? I liked charging my jumps and feel like a heavy mother****ing badass, now its lame and I often overshoot my desired landing. Also, the Jackal, my favorite gun before, has been nerfed to near uselessness. I hope there's a lot of better shotguns in the full game, because free-running over rooftops, enabling cloak and jumping down into firefights with the Jackal was my favorite thing to do, but now its outclassed by hipfire. Bull****. Still, the game is a lot more fun than CoD and I'll likely pick it up, I'm just disappointed in the supposed "improvements", when of what they "fixed" wasn't in need of fixing.

It's far from awful and looks great for a 360 console game. IMO the best looking console game right now. What the heck were you expecting? You're obviously judging this from PC standards which is the wrong thing to do and you should know better when judging a console version.

i tried out the Demo #2. Thought it was pretty decent. I downloaded the first demo, but the bastards deleted it before I could try it out. I HATE when they do that.

Any more impressions for this demo. I'm still loving it!

I'll be an oddball and say I like it. Like everyone else has been saying, it's pretty much a mix of CoD and Halo. I've played a ton of Halo multiplayer, but I've never owned a Call of Duty title, so that might be while I like the Crysis multiplayer. Horrible? Not at all. There's a very solid online offering here imo. But as addicting as CoD/BF/Halo? Probably not. Frankly, I'm more interested in the single player.

The first demo's vertical and horizontal sensitivity settings were odd for me. I could never find the right balance so I was either aiming super slow or overshooting my aim, which I've never had a problem with before with an FPS. Did anyone else feel this way and if so, is it fixed in the new demo?

Can't say I was impressed with it really.

I'm the sort of girl who looks for something different or interesting in a game, this one just...didn't scream anything at me, really.

I thought it was an improvement over the last demo and they fixed a few of my issues with it, but overall it is still a no-go for me.

I felt the gameplay itself was very lackluster, pretty games are okay but if they do not have the gameplay to back it up then there is not much point.

I actually am more excited for Homefront than this one.

Did I mention that I can't wait for this game? I really want to sink my teeth into the single player campaign now!!
