everybody invisible all the time equals a big joke of a mp!!

Post » Thu Apr 15, 2010 7:15 am

I have several issues with this game and it svcks because the engine is good with some refreshing elements added to the mp. OK everyone i am sure is well aware with the connection in this game. It completely makes everything unfair. I can unload a clip into someone only to have them turn around and gun me down with what appears to be one bullet in the kill cam. This also worked the opposite when I was the host. You know i can get over this because maybe it is something they can fix. Another major issue is when I party up with friends it will frequently put us on opposite teams. This is very annoying but again something that can be fixed. The real deal breaker is the cloak. It is just silly that is all I can say. A player is allowed to stay INVISIBLE for nearly the entire game!!! Who in their right mind thought that this would be a good idea. Here is a thought lets not have the nanosuit recharge. That way a player can strategically use it and the cloak wouldn't be such a NOOB way to play. Seriously 90 percent of the battles i am in both are cloaked. This actually happened yesterday I ran smack into a player when we were both cloaked neither one of us saw the other until we realized we were running into an invisible wall...haha. I am also not complaining because I am not any good. My k/d is 1.59 which is above average. I play most game around a 2 to 1. But when you can't see the enemy it makes it quite difficult to kill them. Also I don't want to be the player that sits in the corner cloaked all the time but i may have to or quit playing because this is something the developers i know will not fix. One last thing is I read the post of noone playing classic and that is the main reason I keep playing is to get to level 28. So that is another disappointing thing to hear about crysis. It really is a shame because this game did have potential.

I find it reasonably easy to spot people running around with camo. My gripe is the people that camp in the bushes, camo engaged, and gun you down with an Mk.60 as soon as you walk past.

Thats why your incredibly weak while your in camo. I get the feeling you try and play this game like Call Of Duty. Its not.

Also, if you dont have an HD tv thats probably why its hard to spot them. I run 720p and i can spot ppl just fine.

well i have a 1080p tv and still have trouble seeing them. Maybe i am just 2 old to be playing this game. And for the people saying that i am trying to play this like call of duty. If you mean using an assault rifle at more than five feet away then yes i guess i am. That is the trouble with the cloak it takes away all range with the assault rifle and leaves the fate of the fight up to connection and yes i do have a problem with that because bad players are rewarded for hitting their cloak button. I don't have a major problem with cloaking, I just have a problem with how long and how fast the cloak builds back. You should only have a certain amount per life what is so wrong with that. There should be more strategy implemented when using cloak. So many times will i have a player dead to rights from what i would call medium range, hit them a couple of times only to have them cloak and get away. If there was a limited amount a player could do this it would be good strategy. I had the same problem with armor LUCK in Halo reach. Why make it unlimited it makes no sense. Lets bring back real strategy in a game like in Halo 2 (still the best online game of all time). Maybe I am just OLD SCHOOL.

The marines in camoflauge are harder to spot than the CELL in camo, Something that ive come to notice.

A couple of more things. If the cloak is so easy to see then why is everyone using it!!! Also i think everyone is missing my point. I think the cloak would be pretty cool if you couldn't use it all the damn time. I can also see what people r doing and what will happen. The perk that allows your energy to drain slower when running will become very popular because trying to keep up with a cloak guy running full speed is hard for nearly everyone. Maybe not for the kids with some sort of eagle eye. Yeah if the cloak guy is sitting you can see them but I know from the experience of playing that players have a hard time seeing them because i will be cloaked and players will be right in front of me and not see me. Again if you had more of a limited supply it would add to the game but in my opinion and it is just an opinion it takes away from it because almost every battle is between cloaked opponents. It turns into cloak run and find someone to shoot, shoot them get killed by someone else because you are out of cloak. Way to random of kill and get killed. I won the mvp going 14-9. That is a decent score but shouldn't be the best in the game.

i have a standard def tv and i can see people fine. if you're having problems then there's modules to counter cloak.

would you run through a known chokepoint clear as day when you have the option to cloak? no. it's not noobish, it's playing smart. this game relies more on accuracy, thinking about what you do and teamwork than call of duty. bad players don't do well on this game. so i wouldn't worry about people sitting in corners with cloak on, they'll get annoyed that their cheap tactics won't work on this game and go back to call of duty before you know it.

the worst part is to have cloakers running around all the time, and your cloak tracker is broken.

I didn't even bother reading the OP, paragraphs are really useful.

As for people being cloaked, I don't see what the problem is, unless you're playing the game on a CRT TV maybe. The drain on your suit whilst cloaked ensures people can't use it for extended periods and people who are cloaked are still fairly easy to spot.

Personally I prefer players to be cloaked because it makes them extremely easy to kill.

If you don't have a HD TV just use Cloak Tracker to compensate, I heard that it gets better to see people with each upgrade.

I find people like the OP so annoying.

The game can be played however ANYBODY wants to, some run and gun with armour some use cloak, and some like me prefer to use a sniper rifle with silencer and shoot people in the head while remaining fairly undetected.

So stop complaining and play the way you want and let others play the way they wish to.

I agree with the author. When I try to play cloak only+mobility I get insane KDR at the end of the game. I don't even like to play like this, but, let's face it, it's by far the most powerful combo as I said in another topic.

How to dominate Crysis 2 leaderboards:

Marshall (whatever attachment) OR jackal (I thought shotguns were UP, with this class forget what I say, They're purely OP)
Hammer (same)
Frag grenade or flashbang or C4

Nano Recharge (level 2 or +)
Stealth enhance level 3 OR Blind Spot
Mobility enhance

Name this custom class "Steamroller", and look for a game. Congrats, you are now legally boosting

Cloaked players health seems to take a hit so its like instant kill :P, there are no abilitys to increase cloak length and it drains energy alot. I think cloak is fairly well balanced, i use cloak mostly when crossing open ground, but if i run into some1 while cloaked i know i'm dead because thats my enery gone and shield takes a second 2 take effect soo no its not a problem :)

Because you don't know how to play. Decloak before you shoot and you'll save your energy. Plus, stealth enhance 3 decreases the cost of cloak, so do not speak about things you don't know.

I think it’s cool that there is some much deviation in how people play that’s excellent but if you have certain suit modules that dominate MP. It needs tweaking for a more balanced game, or everyone uses the same strategy and it gets to linear and boring. My only constructive criticism is that when you have like the Visor Enhance
Module on for a red outline right, it highlights people behind walls! I mean cloak tracker should be able to track someone who is cloaked, the proximity sensor is nice, but if people are running and gunning and whilst cloaking, often it doesn't detect until there right on top of you, or at all sometimes I have Cloak Tracker III unlocked, I expected at least like a full green indication at level 3, or else yeah its host and stealth.

I mean stealth is your greatest ability to not be seen, therefore you cannot be shot, so something needs balanced more for guys not always wanting to do stealth, especially if they have a half ass cloak tracker III.

Crysis 2 Stealth Modules Stealth Enhance

1. Faster transition in and out of Crysis 2 stealth modules

2. No shadow cast in Stealth mode

3. Reduces energy drain in Stealth mode

+

Crysis 2 Armor Modules Energy Transfer

1. Restores Nanosuit energy with each kill in Crysis 2 armor modules

2. Restores additional Nanosuit energy with each kill

3. Restores full Nanosuit energy with each kill



LEANING ONE WAY MUCH?

I think cloak needs some tweaking. In MP right now it is used to much because it is very easy to get kills.
