Crysis MP Beta OUT!!!

on fileplanet.

Ive downloaded it and ive been playing it.

Here are my screenshots so far.

Q6600 @ 3ghz (atm)
8800 Ultra @ stock

1280 x 1024, High settings, no AA

around 60-70fps

with 8xAA goes down to around 30 fps.

But still very playable. No idea what the controls are or anything so I cannot so you any uber headshots with sniper rifles or picking people up and thorwing them into jeeps etc.

**Remeber this is only a beta and im using the latest Nvidia beta drivers***


Some odd graphical bugs as you can see above and in this screenshot. Only see it in the water but it isnt that often.

THESE IMAGES CAN NOW BE FOUND : http://gaming.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=9827


Thats your lot for now and maybe for a while 'cos im just going to be playing this for ages I think.


Tis very very good so far. :)

Where's the link!!!! Do we need a BETA key to play this?

Other internet reports seems to suggest it's been closed for the time being already! See here

Holy carp! Thanks for the post - any chance you could try 1600x1200 with no AA?

:)

fook man nice one!!! are the environment fully destructable in MP mode? did u notice any lag?

Damn, they look good.

Definately looks like the benchmark for graphics and hardware for the forseable future, have to get a key asap and get it on my brothers PC with his 8800GTX and 24 inch widescreen...

Thanks Azza, I've mentioned this on the front page.

You have to be a subscriber to get in line for the next batch. Im not paying fileplanet for a demo tbh. Would rather wait to final release anyway.

Neon

Shame, i'd of liked to of benchmarked my gear. Ah well 25th for the public demo :)

Until the 25th I guess there's always ET:QW demo to while away those hours :P

game looks real nice, thanks for the screenshots

Fileplanet did the same to us when i was modding for the insurgency mod, our first release was to go through fileplanet first for like first 4hrs and fileplanet would pimp our mod with ads on their site, didnt want anyone else getting it before them all so they can get people to sign-up to their service..... In the end their download servers and mirrors failed to cope with the large amount of people trying to download our mod, we had fans waiting in stupid fileplanet lines for 2 hours before they could download our mod. :O_o1:

Im gonna wait for the full release. :)

any chances of this coming out to the open public before the end of the week?

Im sure some people will start mirroring it. :)

Azza, you might want to take those screenshots down; Crytek have said:

On behalf of Crytek and EA we ask you to not post any content if you signed up for the Beta. It is a closed event and is covered by a NDA you have accepted during the sign-up process. Posting screenshots, videos or other internal information from the Beta is a violation of the NDA and will cause in an immediate and permanent ban from the Beta program.

lol.....ooops

meh.

I'm still waiting for a damn key! the later videos I have watched on gametrailers and youtube show it to be amazing though! even in dx9 :)

Hey Azza are you using Vista?

Guys in black suits & shades will be at your door in minutes!

I saw the beta first come up but couldn't get a key (not a subscriber) & have been waiting days for a new batch! (on the incrysis forums)

I only want to see how it runs & have a quick blast (ie not even go online)

Think i'll have to ask santa for an early christmas present! I''m pretty annoyed I don't know anyone with a key to use just to register the thing (once thats done you dont need to go online correct?)

Azza you should not be releasing any type of information, pictures or videos with regards to Crysis MP beta. You are bound by NDA rules and subject to banning if caught by crytek. Crytek have "eyes and ears" watching over the internet for being dis-regarding NDA rules. The beta is for those with beta keys only. People have already been caught and had THEIR unique beta-key banned.

What we can tell the community is that crysis is highly optomised for all pc's ranging from old (2-3 years ago high ends) to now. Crysis will be very scalable on every system as we beta testers have seen so far. All you need to know is whether you are after graphics or gameplay, or both, and change your pc hardware accordingly if you wish to do so. Everything that has been said by the devs appears to be true.

From what i have seen, crysis is looking very good indeed. You'll just have to wait till the 25th boys & girls.

oops drunken post ::embarrassed:

Does anyone have a release date on this game? looks amazing, cant wait.

nov 16th isn't it?

I'm interested to know how beta keys are being cancelled on the basis of the NDA being broken, if for example I posted something (which I can't as I dont have it!) then how the hell are they going to find out my key from a screeny?

Assuming they would perhaps get your email address/nick from the forum (breaking the data protection act surely?) & pass it onto FP to compare to their list of founder members with keys (again surely breaking some privacy law?) then they'd be brealing more laws/rules than someone posting a screen!

"Greetings participants (beta testers),

This is a not so friendly reminder for everyone participating in the Crysis Multiplayer Beta. We are very serious about the NDA and will act with the most possible strictness. No matter how safe and internal you think whatever external forum you are posting on is, chances are too low it isn’t. We are lurking through all possible places in the net and you never know where we have access to.

Violating the NDA will result in an immediate and permanent ban from the whole Crysis Beta program. There are no warnings or second chances for this. If you are caught, you are out. If you don’t want to miss a great experience just don’t do it."

secondaly: Each post you make imprints your ip address. This will be tracked back to that of which when you install the beta key as it requires an internet connection. During this time you give away your ip which they can use to confirm with registered users of forums.

sweet dreams.

But don't they have to be an admin on every forum then to see the IPs?

Suppose this is Crytek they have the power.

I can't wait for Sep 25th, hopefully i'll have my new PC by then and play the Demo :D

My IP has probaiblly changed a few times from when i even downloaded the key itself.

you're starting to sound like a crytek nda spy, plus seeing as this is your first two posts I am starting to belive you are :naughty:

Maybe I am and as soon as you mention the words 'Im playing Crysis Beta MP' anywhere im going to ban you from playing the game so you have to wait 9 days until you can play the SP Demo. Ive even got your phone taped so when you tell a mate to come round to see it ill will sudenly crash mid game and humiliate you. Muahahahaha

let me know when fileplanet are releasing the 2nd batch of keys will ya :laugh:

ooooo no azza, i mean ripper is starting to sound like one :P
although i can see the way ive ordered the quotes does make it look like its you :D

minor edit to clarify :heckle:

and yea anyway, who gives a crap about being banned from a beta when you got bioshock :D, rapture. i like that name :mrgreen:

If the OP is ignoring the nda, where have the screenshots gone?

I think it was. ;)


Just had confirmation that Crytek spoke to Hexus.

:crazy: **runs away** :crazy:

Ooh, do we get to watch Running Man being remade with Azza in the Arnie role? ;)

LMAO. i can assure you i made no attempt to tell crytek of this. As you already read in my post, they have their own eyes and ears searching the web for NDA breakers. I had no part in any raid that may have taken place. I swear!

cool :D
i mean your situaution does make it look like you are a crysis agent :heckle:
3 posts all in the crysis thread :laugh:

Im sorry if i came off harsh. I just think that if you have a beta key, its a previlage and it cames with rules that should be followed. NDA's are there for a reason, crytek didnt put it there just because they wanted to pi*s people off who break rules by taking their keys off them.

Batch 2 of the signups for this beta http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/crysis/beta/

thanks man, i was checking and saying when the hell are they gonna release it.

Plenty of screenies & vids out there if you look. If hexus gave away my IP to any old company who asked for it i'd be having words with my solictor ref data protection!

No way they can trace easily whatsoever & if they find you *oh noes, i'm banned from the beta i've already been playing & will be publicly be released soon anyway*

That divx video site has some luvly vids, I'm not breaking the NDA by saying that as I don't have the beta therfore agreed to nothing :D

why is it a privilege? he pays fileplanet a monthly sub and thats the incentive for ppl! It also helping out crytek hugely, by taking it out into the real world

The whole crysis mp beta has been a complete farce and what a rip off having to pay to download a mp beta demonstration, a privilage? ..i don't personaly think so, nothing but a scam.

And what's the deal with EA here?, why can't they let anyone have the mp beta demo for free from EA link?. they are going to make a shed load of money for crysis, tight fisted (bleepers).

i know it pisses me off that certain BETA demo's have to be paid for anyone to play it!!

well thats one of the bonuses of having a fileplanet account, would be no point having one if everyone could join on stuff etc, they gotta provide some kind of service. maybe they'll release it as open beta soon till nov 16th. at least u get the single player beta on 25th. even after this moaning once you play it im sure you will like it. its like ut but realism and the maps are hugee! :D

weather its a bonus or not, you still paying for a beta. which in most peoples eyes is lame. BETA'S should be free ffs

well i guess this is one special beta from ea :P, dont forget they also offer loads of other betas so when you got an account its beneficial if you like testing lots of new games. this is only a monthly subscription account which is i think i paid $6.95 or $9.95 for. havent renewed the subscription since july so its been well worth my while.

yes but your still paying to play those beta's . At the end of the day beta's are suppose to be open to the public and free for testing purposes, i recon that if the crysis mp demo was free and open, they will get more feedback from potential customers.

there is always one or two that have different views than the masse's, fair enough you think its worth it but the majority of us dont :)

dont worry you'll get your beta sooon :P, you'll find it suprising to know when the crysis 2nd batch was released and i got one, i was starting bioshock that day. and i havent been playing crysis that much.

yeah totally agree with, effectively your helping the company finish their product and PAYING for the privilage, trouble is to many ppl are willing to do that. I would have been prepared to do that with tf2 if i didnt have hl2 and ep1, so i think ill wait rather than pay twice! and ripper is blatantly from either ea or crytek lol

Last batch of keys right now.
