We are extremely pleased with how popular our Crysis 2 PC demo has been. During this time we received a lot of valuable feedback that has helped us to better plan our future game updates. Some of the changes included in our day 1 patch and retail version will be;

  • Changed "Press Start to begin" to “Press Enter to begin”
  • Remove textfilter from chat by default
  • Remove all aim assist from Multiplayer
  • Improve USB headset compatibility
  • Resolved game login issues
  • Display accurate ping in server browser
  • Fixed hologram icon staying on screen after hologram is used up
  • Fix friends list UI buttons being offset

Thanks to everyone that took part in the demo and contributed in these forums. :)

I probably should have noted somewhere here that they shut down the servers for the demo on the 14th :(

Played 2 hours on a proxy before it flaked out (the proxy)

I'll just quote myself from the steam forums....

Okay. I'm the first level.

First thougts:

TOO MANY INTRO VIDEOS!!! It's not like they are encoded in high quality either.

Nanosuit voice is very ear-♥♥♥♥♥♥

When you die, you have to press enter! In Crysis 1 they used Mouse 1, meaning you don't need to take your hands off vital controls to continue the game. This is a total step backwards.

I don't like the no lean otr no prone. It makes you a sitting duck in combat. For the record I'm playing on the hardest difficulty.

Graphics are smooth, not choppy or laggy. Seems to be no texture pop in. Water effects are definitely DX9. There is no DX10 or DX11 in the game at this point.

Suit functions are horrendeous to work with. I keep trying to lean and change suit modes.

The game is very linear because of the city environment. Not many tactical options, it seems the level design has been compromised ;) and scaled down, quite a lot.

If this doesn't rip off COD then nothing does... The running through the sinking ship/sub, yeah I've played that before. Also, in the intro movie, the sub's propeller spins the wrong way compared to the direction it is moving. Yay for physics failures!

The game has switched basic controls around. You now have a toggle crouch and no toggle iron sights, you must hold down the second mouse button.

Is it too hard to remove the "press enter to begin" screen and just sit us at the main menu? It's an extra layer of crap I'd rather not deal with.

Graphics settings are extremely limited as seen in the Demo.

The FOV is low. 55 by default. Increasing it makes the levels look really small. This isn't a problem on consoles because... you don't have the console to change settings. yeah.

At this point I'm thinking "OH god why did I buy this?" and "How could crytek ♥♥♥♥ this up so badly?"

I have yet to try the multiplayer. I am judging the game as I have seen it for myself. Hopefully it gets better.

Okay, some basic comparions between crysis 1 and 2, and some things from Crysis 2 that worried me. I will post comparison video's too, mainly for the water effects and god beams.

Both games are running maximum settings with no mods, graphical or otherwise. I own both games on steam. Running on windows 7 64 bit.

Athlon II X4 635 @ 3.62GHz (2.5GHz on the Northbridge, HT link at stock)
2x2GB Corsair XMS3 RAM @ 1666Mhz, 7-9-7-24 timings
XFX GTX 460 1GB @ 850/1700/2120
OCZ Fatal1ty 550W PSU
A-SATA S596 Turbo 32GB SSD for OS
Samsung F3 1TB for games/storage
Win 7 64 bit

All images are in lossless .BMP or .PNG format, captured full size with fraps (photobucket converts bmp to jpg, forgive me for that)
