Brings my decent machine to a crawl, game has stunning graphics. was never fond of the the crysis multiplayers anyway, love the single play though so will definitely buy it on release.

I agree.

Tried it for a few rounds and it's fairly pants. Brings nothing new to the table and the performance is fairly terrible even on my high-end machine, constant physical lag spikes 1 second, fine the next. They probably should have showcased the other hunter mode to attract more attention.

Its an Alpha it has not even gone to beta ffs. You report these issues an they fix them for the game. Its kind of the point.

Not going to bother. Crytek dummed down these games extensively to go on the 360 and PS3 platforms.

Crysis 2 was such a massive disappointment

Crysis 2 was so boring and linear, it felt nothing like Crysis 1.
Guess we just have to wait for Crysis 4 on the next gen

Downloading now, cheers for the heads up.

If it's just a single-map multiplayer test which requires a DX11 card then you can be sure gameplay feedback is going to be fairly low on their priority list, seems to be mainly netcode, backend and engine related testing. Judging by the Facebook comments I think it probably wasn't the best medium to release this if that's what they're looking for.

Why don't you tone it down there pal? I wasn't lambasting the game because of performance glitches in an alpha; the game being boring as **** isn't something a post-release patch is going to fix.

Post your specs and performance so we can get an idea of what's required.

i7 860 @ 4ghz
8gb RAM
GTX 570 1.2gb

Game crashes on very high. VRAM runs out and doesn't bother telling me. On high settings the brown textures look absolutely stunning though :rolleyes:

Get about 50-60fps on High.

Nope, but it is something four months worth of balancing and more interesting/varied game modes and maps will fix.
