Crysis 2

Priori

Hi guys,

I have a ps3 running Crysis 2, all the latest software downloaded etc.

Just want to know has anyone else had problems with the game crashing (freezing) just before the 'press x to begin' should show (at the initializing screen). Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't, and I honestly don't know if it's a problem with the game or with my console. Other games are working fine.

It's started working again under another user profile I've set up, but I've lost the progress I've made so far. Time will tell whether the error crops up again at the same point in the game...

Finished this the other day, didn't think it was anything special.
Towards the end of the game it picked up a bit, it was quite good then.
But it felt like a bit of a slog for a lot of the start and middle of the game.
It does look class though, I'll give it that.

I'd give it 6.5/10.

Ya the same happened to me twice during the game. Best solution is to just restart that mission as opposed to resuming game at the checkpoint. Worked for me.

Hope that helps.

Kinda dissapointed in this so far and I can't put my finger on exactly why. Having not played the first one, I guess I don't know what I was expecting. I'll stick with it, there's some cool aspects to keep me interested for a bit longer anyway.

i like it being long instead of short like most fps these days

Shiminay

I don't know how you could call this a "long" game at around the 10/11 hour mark tbh. Long by today's BS Console standards is still short by any other standard.

alex1997123

yeah but the best selling game for the past rwo years in cod 3-5 hr campaigns

Grayditch

10-11 hours for a FPS is grand.

Same as myself. Just picked it up on the 360 and can't find a single game. My connection is fine, my NAT is open and yet every time I look for a game it just dumps me in an empty lobby.

Everyone us back to cod lad. Like they allways do...

I plated a week ago and got in to a game with alot of poeple. Took good few tries thought. I am afraid that this game is dead. Peer 2 peer bull**** did not helped at all. Biggest issue for me was lag. Its impossible to play with lagg when milliseconds count when you need to turn on shields.

I got €33 cash for trading this in at the CEX place on Liffey Street. Happy days.

None. The only news is that it has been pulled from Steam and it's getting a new map pack.

DirectX 11 patch and his res textures incoming next week.

Crytek is almost ready to release the long-awaited DirectX 11 graphical enhancements package. New information is that a high-resolution textures pack will also be released. For enabling the DX11 features you will need a DX11-compatible graphics card. The hi-res textures pack requires a 64-bit operating system and a graphics card with at least 1GB of memory. Both packs will be released next week. To use the new features you will need Crysis 2 patch v1.9 installed, which will also be out next week.

Below is a list of changes and additions that the upcoming patch will bring for the PC version of Crysis 2.

- Fixed issue in MP where player stats weren't always saved at the end of a game

Finally

Cant wait

Not much use to me. Only have a DX10 card. Thinking about overhauling in the winter sometime, new mobo, cpu, memory and gpu too. Oh well.

ShadowHearth

A little too late?

Who wanted already finished the gAme. Multiplayer wouldn't be the strongest part of the game too.


I guess it will still be one of those games for: " I bought new pc, now lets kill it by running crysis on it for 10 minutes, and then back to your usual games. "

You should still see some improvements as DX11 is a complete superset of DX10. The DX11 runtime turns off DX11 exclusive features when it is running on a DX10 hardware.

So you will still get the addional DX10 benefits.

Your post is a bit old, but the game does that while it searches for games for you to join. It should tell you really as I made the same mistake when I played it first too.

When the patch comes out I want this thread filled with screenshots of what I'm missing out on otherwise there'll be bannings.
