The whole point of re-booting the suit is to have you sacrifice something in order to gain virtual 'prestige'. If you want it, you have to give it all up. If you don't and you are content with all the stuff you have, you really don't need to re-boot the suit, nobody forced you, dude.
You must obviously start of as a newcomer with absolutely nothing to start with, that
is the whole point of the "re-boot". You can't complain about it.
Now, I don't know if the feature is supposed to erase your stats and all but something like that is greatly insignificant to the amount of enjoyment I have received from the game. If it is indeed a bug and you feel the need for it to be viewed by a Crytek employee, post it in the "bugs" thread stickied at the top of the forum.
Unfortunately, you don't get virtual prestige as the emblem is the same colour as every other and looks the same. There is no way of knowing what prestige a person is, no way. COMPLETELY DEFEATIST.
It tells me before prestiging that I would keep my stats, when I prestiged = no stats.
Now I've spent the past 6 hours trying to get in my level 20's so that I can get modules that allow me to move 10ft before recharging, suffering with a horrible 2 kd in the process. This is not fun at all, wasn't bad first time round because everyone was similar level to me but now everyone has superior equipment and modules and since I can't move barely at all I'm a sitting duck.
I agree, the fun factor may outbalance this disappointment but the lag is so bad and no-one I play with says that they have great connections consistently, a good connection is an exception. I like the game but there are too many things bogging it down. Sick of it. Gonna wait for the patch before I play it again, if they keep picking someone 10000 miles a way as host that has dialup connection like they keep doing now. I'm trading it in for something that works.
I have to agree mate. I'm glad I only paid £30 for the game, so if it comes to having to sell it I can get my money back.
I can only really stand playing it in short bursts because aspects of the glitchy gameplay start to irritate quite quickly. I loved the game during beta as glitches and problems were acceptable, but to see that the final release has just as many problems is disheartening.
I feel bad because as a huge Crysis 1/Warhead fan I had high hopes for this game.. I encouraged my friends to get it and now theyre pissed off because it's so flawed. Single player looks good, but the crazy AI does pull you out of the experience... the MP is just a laggy mess where skill is secondary to how you fare in the connection lottery.
I'm holding out for the patch.. though they seem to have managed to screw that up somehow, with all the current confusion surrounding it.
ps. are you the guy who did the weapon pro video? If you are then you should make a video about the MP problems.. I havent seen a high quality one yet. It might help in silencing some of the blind fanboys

I commented on the Weapon Pro video on this forum but was another guy that did it. I wouldn't sit there and slander them on a video on a 10-15min video, doesn't seem right and I will probably get myself in trouble.
CryAdam has acknowledged another post of mine and is forwarding my suggestions/fixes to the developers so this might sort out everything relating to rebooting.
I have now heard that we have already had our patch and those patch notes were the 3mb file we have a few days ago. This didn't help me at all, the game is the same, perhaps worse. If they sort out the connections, rebooting and strange music I will be fine.
