Is that true? Will it have a large effect on the game experience? If it will, I am cancelling my preorder (If possible).

I have had enough of all these things I am seeing and hearing about Crysis 2. Some examples of those are the 6v6 matches for Multiplayer. I have yet to see many unique gameplay elements for Multiplayer (The truth be told, those MP gameplay videos looked pretty bland and generic).

Also, I have REALLY had it with multiplatform engines being scaled down to the limitations of a game console (Example: Maximum 32 player matches on BC2.

That article is really old just to let you know.

We know that some stuff were cut from the game, but even in that article, it said it's a rare thing to happen.

Yeah it probably was true, and yes it did have a large effect on the game experience. Because of it, we are stuck with 6on6, a bland nanosuit, and no lean or prone in multiplayer.

Its obvious that the consoles will hurt the whole game.
They had to consider limited (and OLD) hardware, limited controls (only a few keys) and lets not forget that the "normal" console gamer is used to much more casual stuff then Pc gamers.

On the first Crysis it was a no compromise thing.
Thats why its still the indisputable King of Shooters and graphics for 3 Years. But Crytek refuses to do Pc only games anymore.. so they went into game mass production.. good bye Crytek..good bye cutting-edge games. Hello mass consumers.

wait for march 2011 ,the game is not finished still in development,you may be shocked by more changes by then and my eat your own words.

God damnit. Where the hell is Crytek? Don't they see the concerns that people have over their game that are openly being posted on their own forum?

Their marketing strategy is crap. They give us very, very limited information about the details of the game. They need to abandon their 'secretive' strategy and openly answer basic questions.

Questions like:

What game modes are there, and how many players can play in one game at a time?

or

What other unique and interesting features are there that we haven't seen yet?

_____

The answers to those questions can be decision-makers for many potential customers, myself included. If they are going to release information and/or footage about multiplayer gameplay, then they should either be prepared to answer questions or just don't post it at all.

Right now, I am leaning towards NOT buying the game. I would still be neutral or even considering buying it if Crytek hadn't shown me anything, as there would still be some hope. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope now as Crytek seems very unresponsive.

From what I have seen, the game is quite bland and inferior in some features even to MW2 (Example: MW2 has more players in a server).

But if I were to hear things like: "We have these game modes: *game modes*. This one here supports up to 64/32/whatever players" Then that would clear up some potential deal-breakers I see in the product.

Firstly, you all need to get over yourselves.

Unless you're still stuck in the traumatic event that Crytek has made Crysis 2 multi-platform, then you all need to get a grip.

If Crytek continued to do PC games only, you might as well say bye bye to them, they wouldn't even get enough people to buy their games. Going multi-plat will get them newer fans, but will also keep them in the industry.

They also try new stuff, and if they sacrifice stuff in the game, then you know what, try to deal with it and see what the game is like when it comes out.

Plus, their game on PC will still be cutting edge, and will still look great. Most of you guys are becoming paranoid ****, believe it or not.

The fact that Crysis 2 is now multiplatform does not bother me in the slightest.

What bothers me is the fact that when going multiplatform, Crysis 2 is now being developed for the "Lowest common denominator". That means it won't have any features that the worst of the 3 platforms does not support.

If the Xbox 360 (Or the PS3/PC, it really doesn't matter) doesn't support 'x' feature, then the game won't have 'x' feature on ANY platforms.

That's a piss off, at least to me.

Amen to that lol!

Leaning is there,i will send you a video of it just let me find the link

Oh yes, in addition to my above post (in response to Sahdev_92):

We can't legally see what the game when it's released is like unless we buy it.

And I want to be able to make that decision, which is why more info from Crytek, so that I can make a more informed decision to preorder (Or not).

Ah I see what you mean. Well, right now, it's still too early for them to release information, probably part of the NDA contracts or something else.

But you know, I can expect in the next few months, we'll be getting information slowly. Right now though, it's what some game developers/publishers have. Known as a "Dry Spell" (I call it that since it's sounds cool).

Crappy consolized lean...

Even hardcoe Crysis fans are thinking about not buying Crysis 2. To me, that should be a big wake up call to Crytek to get their ass in gear. If the hardcoe fans dint even like it, how are other people supposed to like it or even get good word of mouth about the game.

Also, just look at Blizzard. Blizzard makes 2billion USD a year, and Crytek can't make a good take for pc? Its not multiplat thats the problem, its Crytek developing for the xbox360 and then calling it multiplatform.

Consoles aren't necessarily where the money is at. The problem is that companies just churn out **** and expect pc players to buy it. That is why counterstrike and cod4 are still some of the most played fps on pc. Don't make a **** ported game on any platform, and you make the most. Treat each platform individually and you win. Unfortunately, Crytek is selling out to MW2. As if MoH being deemed to failure isn't enough of a message to companies that there can and only will be one CoD in this world.

I am one of those hardcoe players that is currently 50/50 on getting C2. First let me state that I could care less about single player...I am a 99 percent online gamer.

Before the multi player was shown I was at least 75/25 on getting the game...because I had assumed that they had a good multi player in Wars, but it just need a few fixes and a few more gamemodes. Surely it wouldn't get worse. My thought was...add some new game modes on new maps, add a few weapons, and add a basic ranking system (so people will keep playing) to Wars and you've one heck of an online experience. I didn't expect them to cut out 1/3 of what makes Wars enjoyable, and add 1/3 of what makes other games svck...that leaves us with 1/3 of what Wars has to offer in my book.

I just can't see dishing out 60 bucks on a game just to "try it out and take a chance on it" when I just bought a house and have stacks of bills to pay...especially when I might have a better game on my rig right now. You don't go out and buy a brand new Kia Rio if you've got a year old Porche paid for and sitting in the garage.

100% with you on that, but without the house part and i care about the singleplayer part of the games. hehe

Right now I'm not liking what i see in the videos and if in the final product the multiplayer turns out a complete disaster it'l be a NO BUY and sure ain't spending 50 euros on this game just for the singleplayer let alone if they are going for the new 60 euros/dlrs price tag cus of F***KING CoD.

I've been playing Crysis since they launched the beta for Crysis 1 + played the **** out of the demo and bought both Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead/Wars on day 1 and now I just feel like I've been stabbed.

But who knows, untill the game is completly revealed, maybe it'l heal maybe it won't. =/

I wonder if Crytek notices what's going on on these forums... Do they see that they may be losing customers?

They probably don't care because they anticipate gaining 4 or 5 times as many as they will lose due to the new console audience. Losing a few hundred loyal customers doesn't pay the bills like adding a few hundred thousand that will ditch them at first sight of a new game. They want more sales and the best way to do that is to emulate the best selling and most played fps out there...cod.

They sure do All major concerns/ideas/feedback is reported back through the community managers.

Just thought i'd raise a few points though:
- Crysis Wars was a PC exclusive, it didn't have lean. You cannot blame consoles for Crysis 2 not having lean.

- We're still quite a while away from release, just under 7 months. A lot can change in that time. I'm sure if the community keep providing their feedback in a mature and civil fashion, movements can be made.

- BC2 was/is a huge hit in the MP FPS market. It has no prone. On a personal note, i thought it was a brilliant implementation. I thought it completely suited the pace of the game. If BC2 is any indication of what to go off, i'll be glad if there's no prone in Crysis 2.

- BC2 was not scaled down to 32 players because of console limitations. The Bad Company series began on console. How easily it is to forget/ignore when excellent games are ported from console to PC, but when it's vice versa, all hell breaks loose.

Think about it for a moment.

I'm glad I decided to wait for Crysis 2 to come out and hear some reviews before Pre-ordering it. If I see that it is junk, I simply will not buy it.

No point pre-ordering a multi-platform "Crysis Revised" game like this until we know 100% how it turns out.

If that's the case then I'll say a few things. PC version Crysis Wars Multiplayer is amazing and as important if not more important than single player.
NOTHING should be taken away from it, only ADDED TO.
Things that NEED to be done in Crysis Wars 2: Do everything possible to stop cheaters/hackers from ruining the online gaming experience.
Keep the game 32 players+ per server, with more control over dedicated servers to ban and kick players and control ping limits while keeping the same game modes and adding new ones.

And keep in mind we PC users are expecting everything Crysis and Crysis Wars delivered to be improved upon, not taken away, watered down, or changed. Do not disappoint us, or you risk losing some customers for life, and every dollar counts.

if they cut anything from the PS3 version then i won't buy it end of story!

WHY MUST CONSOLES **** EVERYTHING UP
