Alcatraz is even more bad ass than the predator - When did the Predator ever kick a taxi into someones face??

Sat into it again last night and had a huge amount of fun. I was re-doing what I'd already played in my friend's house, but decided to try and be a lot more stealthy.
Warning: The following talks about the game mechanics but does not mention any specifics of the plot. If you'd rather not know then avoid the following paragraph
Without giving anything away, when you get to a new "bit", your armour will tell you that there are "Tactical Options Available" and you can pop your HUD into tactical mode where you can tag enemies and ammo (like you could with binoculars in the first game), but it also makes suggestions of where and how you proceed such as "stealth" over on a quiet corner and "infiltrate" through the sewers or even where to throw some grenades to take out a .50 Cal gun emplacement. I hadn't quite realised what the game was trying to tell me the first few times I was presented with this when playing in my friend's house, but last night when I was playing at home, I realised there were more markers on the HUD to point this out and I was able to play the "sneaky git" style of play that I enjoyed on the first game
I haven't delved into the multiplayer yet, but got a fair idea of how it'll work based on the demo. I don't think this multiplayer is quite for me, but it may be interesting.0 -
Got the game, played it through to the end. At least it was a long enough game, fairly involved single player.
The Ai though is just so bad at times
The cut scenes or whatever they are that you can't skip are annoying after a while too.
Graphics wise, meh, not that impressive to me. Multiplayer isn't up to much at all either, wouldn't rate it in the slightest.
As other reviews have noted elsewhere, it seems more of a dumbed down console port than anything new for the PC.
I'm sure those new to the Crysis game playing it for the first time on PS3 or Xbox 360 might be impressed though, I could see that for sure but it just seems like a really lacklustre game on the PC.0 -

I found the tagging of possible routes to be hand holding myself. In FarCry and Crysis you had a more powerful zoom and you could scout out an area without having the game telling you how. Also I always liked to take my time and savour the execution of a plan. In Crysis 2 you seem to nearly always have some NPC screaming at you to hurry.0 -

Aye, saw the sewers part, after I had gone the long way around, killing most of them with stealth kills, and hopping around from tops of buildings.I realised there were more markers on the HUD to point this out and I was able to play the "sneaky git" style of play that I enjoyed on the first game
Agreed. There was one section where I avoided 100+ heavily armed troops by silently avoiding them, but in Crysis2, there is less troops in less room.In the first game (and Far Cry) you felt like you were in an open environment and could do whatever you wanted, here you feel very much on rails but with some limited scope to wander.

So far, I'm enjoying it.
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy it? One of the lads is looking to getting it.0 -

Hey lads
My nickname is brds-headshot
so add me if its possible
I haven't been playing that much of it but I hope to change that
sniff sniff, boards.ie server anyone?
i know people are upset as its not a big island anymore, but if you will look back at it, only 1/3 of the game was island with free roaming. 1/3 island 1/3 that supid space ship 1/3 destryed linier island.
i know its a matter of choice, but i prefer to deal with a a "puzzle" in closed enviroment like in crysis 2. 2 reasons:
1. if you feck up, you cant just run in to wilderness and comeback with all panic reset.
2. it makes you pay more attention to enviroment and surroundings.
all in all crysis 2 is a great great packadge. i will allways remember crysis 1 as a killer of my poor machine thought :P. i heard warhead was more optimised?0 -

Warhead definately runs better, theres little/no fps drops when shooting guns and stuff like that
It's not half as spectacular though. I played warhead first and was really impressed but I didn't realise that the original kicks it's ass till I played through it last month.
The alien ship and the scene where the mountain is coming down are two scenes that warhead just doesn't come close to.
dual wielding in warhead's a good laugh though. 0 -
