5 things that need fixing in Crysis 2

Crytek, get your **** together. I know this is a great game n' all, and I like it, but there's a few things that need major fixing. Considering this is your first foray into consoles, I'll give you some slack, but if you want your game to be remembered and earn that average 90 review score benchmark, your multiplayer needs to be memorable, but most importantly, working.

1) Power slide needs to be easier to use

I like the whole power slide ability. Better than Far Cry 2 in that you can shoot while sliding, but worse than Far Cry 2 in that a lot of times it leads me to just crouching. When I'm sprinting, a lot of times when pressing B I'll just go crouch, instead of sliding. That difference got me killed. Either I'm not doing it right, or the sliding is messed up. Fix it, because I can see so many used for this.

2) Tactical view needs a longer range and detects cloaked users

Tactical view is great, and supposedly detects cloaked people. But it doesn't. Make the range bigger so we can see when a cloaked shotgunner is running at us, or at least include a suit module that allows you to increase the range. Also, make sure that while cloaked, you still give off heat. Just because I'm invisible doesn't make me cold. It's probably the only way to detect a cloaked camper without being 2 seconds away from getting your face mashed in with 6 shotgun pellets.

3) Assault rifles need a bit more power

Machine guns chew through the Nano suits at medium range, shotguns at close range, and sniper rifles at medium range. SMGs aren't usable in the demo, so I don't know how they fare. But assault rifles feel a bit too weak. Not exactly useless, but I think it needs a bit more power. Just a tad bit more. I should be able to go through 2-3 enemies when shooting with decent accuracy a clip, not 1-2.

4) Melee needs to be consistent

Sometimes, melee takes one hit from the front or back to kill. Other times, it takes TWICE as much. Not good. I don't know if it has something to do with the hit boxes (see below), but it needs to be consistent.

5) Hit boxes need fixing

It's all over the place. I've been seeing enemy kill cams, and sometimes it takes like a few bullets to drop me, but when I'm shooting, it takes an entire clip. What the heck?

I'll do another post regarding the 5 things I do like about Crysis 2.
