    Re: Crysis 2 Thread

    Finally got this, looks lovely @ 1920 @ mid settings, looks good enough & I notice the hardcore mode doesn't make it look significantly different so I'll leave it at that for now!

    One thing that bugs me is the radial suit menu, in Crysis you clicked, selected & away you went but sometimes I can select stealth, the button doesn't highlight, then by accident I keep seeming to use the binoculars (B is assigned for that, I don't need it on a menu too!)
    It seems like it has most issues if you're in cover, as though it wants you to choose that 'peek over cover' or whatever it's called option rather than going into stealth/etc

    Still, it's lovely looking, gameplay is 'ok', I'm looving the weapon sounds, very satisfying although a little too much blood splatter when you hit someone.

    They aren't fully invisible. Look for ripples, shadows, listen for footsteps. Also Visor Enhance will give all enemies a red glow when looking down sights.

    Also, remember when killing a cloaked perons, it's a lot quicker. They take way more damage in cloak.

    Re: Crysis 2 Thread

    Yeah the cloak is only really effective if you are quite far away from the enemy. Quite easy to spot a cloaked enemy at close range.

    I still cant quite get into the MP, its good but it feels a bit too clunky to be what it is, which is a run and gun. I think warhead worked quite well on MP (before it got crappy mods and hackers on all the servers) as the clunkyness didnt matter, it was more akin to battlefield so it worked kinda well. Its like they set out to make it more like COD which i can kinda understand as thats what the kids want nowerdays but there isnt any real reason for those gamers to play crysis over COD.

    Its not terrible i just jhavent really got into it yet, not sure if i will to be honest as i keep going back to BC2

    Re: Crysis 2 Thread

    Honestly IMO i would say no but its worth actually playing it yourself before you make a decision, as you can see there are people on here who will say it really is worth getting so its very much up to personal taste.

    Yes, it is £15 well spent. I've been playing MP every night since I bought it. Not even touched the SP.

    Re: Crysis 2 Thread

    I'm really enjoying the SP, not touched (and won't touch) MP. At least I can flog my Ltd Edition codes eh?!

    Storyline is a bit strange & all over the place. I'm enjoying the locations, wish a few more things were destructable as it's only the odd tree & shack/cover. Far more linear than the original but I paid £23 for it & I'm happy with that price

    I have been wondering about this was gonna wait till they'd sorted DX11 but I think I'll get distracted by other things before that happens.

    Is there a major reason people are moaning about DX11? What will the differences be? Looks pretty damn good to me as it is and I won't say no to free eye candy but I'm not going to whinge about it.. ?

    I asked the same thing early in the thread. Someone explained it very well.

    Dangel's post? Doesnt say what the actual need for dx11 is?

    I'd google it if I could be bothered but I'm happy with it as-is for now

    Cheapest I can find it is for £23... Am I missing something?

    I bought it on DVD & it comes with EADM, doesn't integrate with Steam. Needs a connection to activate, I don't believe EADM installs the patches automatically so you might be ok.

    It's now £23, was available from EA Store ages ago for £15 as a pre-order.
