Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 i dont get your wording. a "demo" is BETTER than a beta. Unless they're willing to change some gameplay mechanics from our feedback. well i would sure as hell hope so. gotta at least do a server stress test and whatnot right?

I think that's the "beta" thing right there. I'll help stress test it. Who knows though? I might even like it. It looks like CoD's gameplay but more "realistic". Yeah. That statement is weird, but the perks do make sense because of the Nanosuit. Unlike CoD where being super fast, super-knifer is something the government injects into you or something.

deanb Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 http://static.cdn.ea.com/crytek/u/f/crysis2/Crysis_2_Multiplayer_Demo.exe The Crysis 2 MP demo for PC is now out. This one has the rooftops map from the 360 demo and a port side map as well. I've set up a steam event for Wednesday/Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's totally hanging up on the "creating account" screen. Tips? Just exit and reload. Or create the account on the website http://www.mycrysis.com/register/ I can't fucking play, I don't know whether its my router or something but every server is giving me 'connection to host failed' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's a Gamespy/IGN account. If you've got one. I had one from I think ..Sup Com? Then an IGN account from IGN, then I think I reset it all n new passwords with Borderlands. So when I log in it offers me like 5 usernames to pick from I think a few are from sites IGN have bought over the years too. I'm PyritesSFX if anyone wants to add me. Excel is that the servers with 0 ping? If so filter the list by ping and join the ones near the top that actually have a number. Lowest I can get from UK to a UK server is 90ms though. Hope it's fixed tomorrow. Oh yeah I tossed up an event on Steam for anyone interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirandello Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Account creation doesn't seem to be working for me. EDIT: It's 12:28 AM right now, still doesn't work for me.

deanb Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 You guys could make an account on Gamespy.com and just use that. (That's assuming you guys are doing it from in-game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 thanks that worked Dean last night but not today. Connection to host failed on everything.

Pirandello Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) The game works for me. Surprisingly, games that indicate 100+ ping only have mid-40s/low-50s for me. The game is pretty swell. I'm actually damn kickass (top 1 on the leaderboards, woop!). I was kind of surprised to see that sprinting required suit energy, as well as finding out that the suit's powers were permanently toggled as opposed to automatic deactivation in the original. Stealth wasn't as overpowered as I thought it would have been. For me, there is easily a very noticeable blur in seeing enemy stealth movement. I've gotten a medal or two for killing them while they're stealthed because it's just wayyyyy too noticeable for me. I even managed to pull off a stealth knife kill! It's not fantastically awesome, but what it brings to the table is definitely fun enough. Edited March 2, 2011 by Pirandello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 http://www.vg247.com/2011/03/02/gdc-in-crysis-cryteks-zala-on-leaks-and-love-for-pc/ Interview with Crytek and shiz. My god VG247's font is horrible. Sorry if I've being direct folks their way win the News Feed. “It’s probably fair to say that one of the things we did when we came on board was to just re-write the whole of the multiplayer. So we didn’t really look at either of the [Crysis] games before that. And when you get to play it, you’ll see that it is a completely different multiplayer design,” Zala explained. This explains so much. (on why it is shit.) If you're making a sequel, go look on the older games. Don't look at CoD n see how you can best emulate that like everyone else just with the suit. The old game had great MP, and very different to the current stuff. As it stands there's not much making Crysis 2 stand out. They're still not up for admitting the leak was on their end. And still no media outlet asking taking them to task on that. Just accepting that the pirates downloading it magically osmosed it onto the internet through sheer of will of being pirates.

RockyRan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah, just played a bit of Crysis 2 MP and it's painfully derivative. It's just sci-fi CoD multiplayer. Ugh. The people who were really into Crysis Wars are probably raging beyond all belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just accepting that the pirates downloading it magically osmosed it onto the internet through sheer of will of being pirates. But that's how piracy works, isn't it? Also, are we doing the Steam Crysis 2 MP Beta event tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've been playing the MP Demo a bit and while it's nowhere as unique or good as the first game's multiplayer, it has started to grow a bit on me. Certainly, it feels FAR more tactical than the later Call of Duty games it initially resembles. I've found myself positioning myself tactically, using the radar, friendly players' positions and sounds in the environments to determine when I should get the fuck out of there. Using the suit powers at the right moment is so utterly key. From what I can tell, the game's main problem right now is that it's having trouble actually showing what it does differently until after the point where it's lost most people. I sure as hell hated it at first, and it was just my stubborn way of giving the game roughly five more chances than it actually deserved that got me to the point where I understood the game enough to get into it.

But that's how piracy works, isn't it? Also, are we doing the Steam Crysis 2 MP Beta event tonight? I may of used crappy wording(actually in looking I'm missed out a "did not" before "magically". My point being that the act of people pirating the leaked build isn't what put the leaked build onto the torrents. And Crytek need to come out and put their hands up on the matter instead of their current smoke n mirrors act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, feels like high res PS2 game, I've never seen so much bloom since Oblivion. Yeah I do wish I could turn it down a notch. It's just as bad on every setting.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah, I got what you meant, I was sarcastically mocking those who pretend like it's the people downloading it who put it up to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You suck at sarcasm. Didn't this happen yesterday too? Put like a on the end or something. Finally, played the demo... MY FUCKING EYES ARE BLEEDING!

TheMightyEthan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 lol, I figured it would be obvious, since I was acting like I was under the impression that pirates just magically osmose content onto the internet. Back to my question though: are we doing the steam event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I won't be able to, I can't get it to connect to 99.99% of the servers in the list. But if you pop into chat on the time I'm sure there will be a few able to play, they've been playing on and off the past few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
