It'll be interesting to see how the graphics come out 'real world' on the 360, of course this must be played on PC though, upsetting Crytek went with the 360 demo instead of their PC fans.

Does no-one do SP demos anymore?!

I played the PC version at EuroGamer last year and have to say, it didn't feel like a port at all.

good to know

I also thought it would be a port since the 360 demo is going to be an exclusive.... but if you say it didnt feel like it then thats good to know!.

Shame they still didnt do a PC demo, im sorry but how does exclusive demos help promote anything? If anything they are just restricting it to xbox 360 owners who want to buy it and not letting ps3/pc gamers have a look.


Anyways, that trailer looked pretty damn epic, i cant wait to see the final product. I wonder if they will make it so you can rank up just like in the battlefield series (no not cod... cod had it later than bf!) as personally i dislike losing ranks/weapon unlocks after every match

That just looked like HALO. WTH?
Btw, I am also pissed that they did a "exclusive" demo fro XBOX when the game is meant to be for PC. Way to go Crytek, thanks for remembering us PC gamers!

Don't worry about it. Pre-ordered it for the PC, played the 360 demo last night and got nowhere. It's a joke of a demo. Sat 2 hours looking for a game at which point I got so sick of looking at a waiting for session screen I went and played Bulletstorm instead. Probably going to cancel the PC Pre-Order and wait for a few months until it hits £10~ for the 360 tbh. Not wasting time on a game that can't even get simple netcode right.

I am not the only one, xbox forums have thread after thread about the same issue. It's also putting US and UK players together so unless you are host you have no chance from what I've seen on video's of the game play.

Gave the 360 demo a whirl last night, didn't have any connection issues and got straight into a game each time. Can't say I enjoyed it though, didn't feel like anything special.. quite a frantic spray n' pray fest imo.
Can see the campaign being quite enjoyable while making use of the different abilities and what not. Perhaps a different map and game mode would do a better job of selling the multiplayer aspect to me but as it stands, I'm not overly keen.

Finally got into a few games last night and I must say, the multiplayer is poor at best. Pings all over the place, full clips not registering at all and they get you in a few bullets. The powers the suits have seem glitched in the games I saw last night when you would go invisible but yet on the kill cam you are in full view or the weapon is camouflaged and yet your body isn't xD

So glad I took advantage of the EA store glitch in November where this was pre-order on PC for £15. Wouldn't pay for it otherwise, if it was £30+ I would of been cancelling my pre-order by now. Fingers crossed this has one epic single player campaign.

I wish I'd have bought the £15 deal, it HAS to be worth that even though I only play SP.

MP PC demo coming soon - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...demo-announced

Again, no SP demo?!
