[360] Crysis 2 beta discussion thread

[Twigg4075]

No. I work until 3 am. Hopefully I can check it out when I wake up tomorrow.

If it's 10 hrs that is plenty for a FPS with solid multiplayer. Homefront's multiplayer is awesome which is it's saving grace because that paltry four hour campaign is a joke.

I subscribe to the Kotaku newsletter and they e-mailed me their Crysis review. Brian Crecente said "The 360 version seemed to struggle at times with the games many and textures textures. Entire buildings would pop into view at times, the sidewalk in front of me would go from detailed to looking like a blurry facsimile and occassional character's faces looked like something created with charcoal..." Uh oh.

He added that they received the 360 version prior to launch and the PC and PS3 versions today and that they would compare later.

I just played the multiplayer for 3 hours and I love it so far. The gameplay is really unique and once you get the hang of it, you'll have a blast. The graphics are tight as hell. There seems to be alot of maps and all of them are pretty good. I haven't played a map that I didn't like yet. I was on the fence about this game, but I'm glad I bought it.

Did you get it for 360 or PS3?

That guy always cracks me up. I wonder what his Twitter account is? I tried El Presador but that isn't it.

 

[CCBrink]

Hmmm. I don't know if I should get this. I can't try out the multiplayer because it won't connect on PSN for some reason.

This is the first game I am not instantly good at. Played for an hour online and had a a 1 K/D. The games were extremely fast paced. The graphics are definitely the best on 360 though. Quite outstanding.

Any reviewsabout the 3d? Probably going to gamefly it.

 

[Twigg4075]

I've only played the campaign for a few minutes. While I will agree the game does look very good it still suffers from what a lot of FPS games do. It cheats with textures. Once you get up close to things some of the textures are downright terrible. Going to press a keypad is laughable as they look like PS2 graphics.

 

[Twigg4075]

I really like the multiplayer even though I suck. I need to learn to use my abilities more and use some of the perks/abilities that I've unlocked.

 

[Twigg4075]

Still enjoying it even though I suck. I just wish I knew what weapons I should waste time upgrading. I wasted several of my upgrade points on a shotgun custom class because I love shotty's but it blows in the game.

Also, I would love to find out what protocol the game uses to figure out who hosts a match. I was playing with QS and for some strange reason I was host for several games in a row. Because I'm on wireless that is bad news. I can play in games no problem, but hosting games of 12 people is a different issue entirely. The games still seemed to run smoothly even though everyone's connection was sowing in the yellow and red. But voice chat was non-existent.

Either way it was still fun.

Yeah, those games we played were pretty fun. I think I'm going to give up trying to jump stomp somebody... I suck at it.

how many guys are on each team in MP? how many maps do they have?
i assume they have all the variety of modes

is this more like playing COD on hardcore mode, or is it like having to unload a clip to get a kill?

There are 6 different maps, 6 people on each team, and six game modes.

any idea if they have a hardcore mode or is more like halo style?

There is a hardcore mode. There are also modes where you don't have the suit.

Crysis reminds me of Halo, not COD. You can jump super high, take bullets, turn invisible. Halo shit, not COD shit.

Yeah I immediately thought of a Halo when played it. To me its sort of a COD/Halo mixture.

Yeah, that's what I think, but leaning a lot more towards Halo. With some Killzone thrown in.
