Half-life 2 is the best game ever made in my opinion. Story, graphics, sound, immersion, attention to details and so on.

As of today Crysis 2 is the best game i've ever played. I bow to your entire team and hope we get to see a Crysis 3 any time soon.


Thank you.

At the time you moron.. did i really have to explain that? Are you that stupid... jeeeeeeez.

NOT BY TODAYS STANDARD, WHEN IT WAS RELEASED.

Crysis 2 is in the same league as Half-Life 2 as far as sequels go, both give depth and meaning to the events that happen in their predecessors and provide rich stories that aren't spoon fed to the player. Crysis 2 catapulted the series into greatness with its compelling story, challenging gameplay, and magnificent sound and visuals.

I completely concur with the OP. CRYSIS 2 kicked MAXIMUM A$$! - It got off to a "bit" of a slow start but it was completely epic by the end.

I've read a lot of whining around here and quite frankly I call BS on most of the game related complaints(not bugs). I was in the original CRYSIS Beta test and had SLI 8800GTX OC's I paid about $1400 for in order to max out the first game. I clearly remember TONS of complaining and whining about CRYSIS -NOT- Running on other people's rigs and this time people expect CRYTEK to repeat that same mistake again or something. Hypocrisy and mental retardation seem like epidemics in our society.

CRYSIS 2 was an absolutely mind blowing experience. I played through the campaign on EXTREME settings @ 1080p (60FPS) and I can say for sure there were a ton of times I stopped to marvel at the beauty of the game. To top off the visual prowess, the game play was just fun as all heck. I really appreciated the hints for flanking and stealth approaches in the visor and WOW! I'm gonna be playing the campaign through a few times before I'm done with SP.

Multiplayer is also completely AWSOME. I love it!... Not something I can see myself becoming bored with for a very long time to come.

Best game ever?
Tie between Hostile Waters and Serious Sam: The First Encounter, imo.

GTA:San Andreas

GOOD DAY SIR!!

san andreas is an amazing game but not really recognised as one of the greats by many because it was so ridiculously hyped anyway no-one expected anything less.

Half-Life 2 = Best FPS of 2004-2010

Why only 2004-2010? If you haven't noticed, its 2011

This game doesn't compare to Crysis original.
-Can't lie prone
-graphics engine is well optimized, but textures in the original seem better. I'm very torn on this subject, the new vs the old, and I shouldn't be. I should unequivocally vote the new as superior but I can't.
-what happened to the destructible environment?
-campaign feels short compared to the original. I mean there was the island, the ship fights, the helicopter run, Crysis 2 doesn't have nearly the depth
-less open terrain, the original left you more ways to approach the enemy
-no quick-save. That was fun, you could replay as you chose a scene or an area over & over again trying out different tactics, approaches
-humor: seems there was a bit more humor thrown into the original than here. Might be low on priorities, but it adds to the games fun.
-no full screen map
-no tutorial. I didn't need it but it is an over sight. I know there are some prompts when you first start but those should always remain cursory. A full tutorial is needed for new players or those who want a refresher. Not to mention all games include this.
-no side missions: We aren't in the jungle, we are in a major city and there is no NPC's to interact with except run down the rails following the story? This is 2011 and a major title and this game was $60!
-no screen shots? this should be standard, especially in a game that is expected to be have VIP graphics
-no built-in movie recording, sharing on the internet, sharing screen shots
-other than the cameo from Prophet I don't see any tie-in with the original. I'm hoping there will be an expansion that does this, but I'm likely waiting for nothing. This would have been a great spot for side-missions with more story telling. I'm hoping this is an introduction to an even bigger story. Really hoping for more in the story telling department, it seems so weak.
-granted there are some very cool elements about the story and the nano suit, but overall it seems weak
-the aliens are uninspiring, they seemed to use a lot of cold weapons in the original and these are like another species than the ones found on the island. Some consistency and expanding on that aspect of the aliens would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on a high end PC with an Xbox controller. I'm sadly one of those that are locked out of multiplayer due to the login issue. That and the bug where you lose melee ability after dieing is just killing me. I always play these games on the hardest or next to hardest setting. Currently playing on Veteran. Well, no longer currently playing, the game bugs got to me and I'm going to other things until it gets fixed. I gave this game a 2 on Gamespot, only reason it didn't get a 1 was because the artwork does seem top notch. Very much a let down otherwise.

Played it to death..

Why only 2004-2010? If you haven't noticed, its 2011
Maybe because Crysis 2 took the 2011 spot?

Die once again and you still won't be bored;)

in my opinion

best campaign fps: Half life 2 (2004-2007) Crysis (2007-2010) crysis 2 (2011-?) (my favotire pre-2004 game is half life 1 followed by deus ex)

best sandbox campaign FPS: Stalker SoC (2007-2008) Borderlands (2009) Stalker CoP (2010)

best multiplayer fps (serious):counter strike source (2004-2007) CoD4 and Crysis (2007-2009) Battlefield BC2 (2010) Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3(i hope) (2011-?)

best multiplayer fps (fun): UT2004 (2004 (duh) - 2006) Garry's mod (2006- still playing) Team fortress 2 (2007- still playing it) Monday Night Combat (2011- ?)

better be kidding me, ive played through the campaign, and i can say that GAMEPLAY wise, the original is better in every aspect. The story was pretty good tho

> Half life 2
> Best graphics

Maybe back in 2004
At the time you moron.. did i really have to explain that? Are you that stupid... jeeeeeeez.

Funny because you never mentioned 'for it's time'... you moron... jeeeeeeez

Orange box is 10 pound for xbox when i bought it, bargain!

GTA:San Andreas

GOOD DAY SIR!!
Aye; I remember that game. That game was HUGE; there was so much stuff you could do in that game, and by HUGE I'm also talking about the environment. You could even travel (commandeering an airplane, of course) to Liberty City on one mission (well, just for one mission, and it was linear if I remember correctly).

And those are just the single player issues. Just wait until you get to the multiplayer. There you have:

-An unrealistic experience system. Those with higher ranks get better weapons and upgrades to their suit/weapons. This in turn allows for them to get more kills. By getting more kills they get even better weapons and upgrades to their suit/weapons. Rinse and repeat until you're so horribly outgunned it's not even wroth it anymore.

-Hacker en mass. They've come out of the woodwork.

-Repeatedly having to re-earn your experience because there's no in-between round saving and if you're disconnected from the game for any reason (losing net connection, the server going down, the host losing their connection, etc.) you lose all of your hard earned experience.

-Unranked servers giving you no experience, despite you being able to make in-server progression, meaning that people hosting their own games is a pointless affair.

-Small, cramped environments where reflexes pay off more than strategy. Also, a few maps seem to have almost been designed specifically to make it impossible to snipe.

-No vehicles. None at all.

-Horrible connectivity issues that mean out of a list of around 600 servers you can only join around 5 to 10 of them.

-No filter saving

-The server lists do not update themselves meaning you may waste a great deal of your time trying to join a full game.

-A horribly messed up team balancer. At one point it was my lone self against five people. The game ended when they all left after I decided to hide in a dark corner in cloak mode.

-Shield mode isn't what it used to be... in fact the only mode that is better than it used to be is Cloak Mode.

-Very few places where you can ambush someone. The entire game seems to have been designed purely with Console in mind. It's not at all like the first where you could hide behind a bunch of bushes, jump out, and spray down a passing enemy.

-Very few game modes. Your choices are: Free for all (not my cup of tea seeing as how it's mindless gladiatorial combat), team instant action, Relay (capture the flag, only you can't set-up any kind of defenses and the like), or a stupid mode that I forget the name of.

-The fourth one, which I shall refer to as "stupid mode" basically one team has Nanosuits and pistols, the other team has no Nanosuits and heavy weapons. The person who thought this mode up needs to be fired. As quickly as possible. Once the Nanosuit team kills at least one person with a heavier weapon (assault rifle and more powerful) they become unstoppable. Suddenly you're dealing with someone who can go into Shield Mode and return fire picking you off at their leisure (without any shields yourself, you're basically only able to take at best half the damage they can).



This game doesn't nearly come to first place for me. Not by a very long shot. In fact, I'm considering going back to Gamestop to return it for my money back. I'm playing PC version of this by the way. Not a clue how it plays out on Console, nor do I honestly care.

Crysis 1 is to Crysis 2 what San Andreas is to GTA IV.
