    Crysis 2 PC Demo is Live

    Here it is:

    http://www.gamershell.com/download_70372.shtml

    1.6GB, same as the 360 MP demo, only difference is one of the maps is different.

    Not sure if there is a steam version of the demo.

    Re: Crysis 2 PC Demo is Live

    Looking at peoples impressions, its a straight console rip, the ultra settings on the graphics apparently do nothing to improve the textures. Not really fussed in the online side of this, will probably play the single player, grabbing the demo to see if the PC can handle it alright

    Thanks for this. Funnily enough I was just having a blast on Crysis (1) this morning, still quite enjoy the game.

    Thumbs down Re: Crysis 2 PC Demo is Live

    I can't try this until I get home, but initial reports say that before the menu there's a "Press Start to continue" screen - That's right, before even reaching the menu there's a console controller reference. Also aim assist is on by default in a multiplayer demo - flat out cheating in multiplayer imho. Have an option for aim assist in singleplayer maybe, but it should be disabled permanently for multiplayer.

    All in all looking like a straight console port so far

    What a poor start - Windows Firewall auto-blocks the program. The same program which naturally hangs until it connects to the server, and the Windows key is disabled, so you have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to Task Manager to allow Firewall. And then the game hangs whilst you try to create an account (cant play without one), and 5 minutes of waiting for this was enough for me to terminate the game.
    Poor.

    Poor.
    Just alt-tab to allow firewall and restart the game (skipping the cut scene) wasn't that hard really.

    You aren't missing much, its like CoD with armour and crysis suits.

    Single Player is what I am waiting for, not fussed on the MP side of it at all. It's just another generic run and gun FPS.

    Re: Crysis 2 PC Demo is Live

    not that impressed.

    YEs there is a press start to continue and if you happen to have awired xbox controller plugged into your pc it will start vibrating at various points in game.

    It does look ok but am not impressed as i'd probably only play single player anyway

    Mine got stuck creating accopunt twice but i quit out and went back in put in the username and password i'd set and it accepted them.
