Ok guys, let's tackle the most important issue right now- the craptastic framerate. Honestly whenever I play this game, all I can keep thinking is "Man this game would be GREAT if the framerate weren't so horrid!"

Its completely fine here unless im close to an orbital strike on skyline.
Other than that i haven't noticed any problems here.
So i cant vote.

My framerate has been smooth as glass from day 1 online and off, quit downloading porm and it should speed up.

How about you grow up and realize its different for everyone. NBA

It really depends on the map i play.
Some games i play are smooth as butter while others are absolutely atrocious, ESPECIALLY when ceph airstrikes or beams are called in.

And NBAballer, throwing as much profanity into a short post as possible doesn't make it the truth. The framerate varies greatly from person to person.

Take the cock out of your ass.

What are you 12?

It's not the internet connection that causes low framerate. I've been playing online multiplayer games for years, and almost never had internet-related issues (other than a little lag here and there). Crysis 2 has low framerate because their coding is sloppy. They tried to make really ambitious colorful maps, but unfortunately the PS3 hardware just isn't able to crunch through Crytek's sloppy code fast enough to keep a smooth framerate. I've played plenty of 30 frame-per-second games, so I know what a smooth 30 fps looks like. In Crysis 2, just try aiming down the sight at someone off in the distance. They will appear to be teleporting instead of running. This is just poorly written software, it isn't optimized for the limited hardware of the consoles.

Framerate doesn't vary from person to person. It is an inherent characteristic of the game's coding, and the PS3 hardware. Now lag might vary, based on a person's internet connection, but framerate is the same on all consoles. The only difference is that some people may be less perceptive of it than others. Having played a lot of COD and Ratchet/Clank, I know what a solid 60 fps looks like. Having played Uncharted 1/2 and Killzone 3, I know what a solid 30 fps looks like. Crysis 2 very clearly dips down to easily 10-15 frames per second in many cases. Whenver that Orbital Strike happens, the framerate seems to drop even lower. On a couple maps the framerate stays low no matter what (especially the "mall" map, I forget the name, but it has a harbor with a boat).

My framerate seems fine until I drop an orbital strike.

Personally 30 fps aint good enough really for a shooter - you need 60
Play GT5 then crysis 2 and see how a smooth non headache framereate compares

Frame rate issues are almost non existent with me. I've had only a handful of matches where the frame rate was choppy. Other than that, it's only occasionally during an orbital strike. This game has a way more stable/playable frame rate than other multiplatform games I own.

This is a joke? This poll is unfair to a lot of people who haven't had the framerate issues.

Anyone who has the game on PS3 has the same framerate issues we all have. This is not the kind of problem that would be dependent on a person's specific console or internet connection. This is just how the unoptimized code runs on the PS3. You may find the lower framerate acceptable, but the framerate is still low.

nah, ur wrong mate.

The frame rate on this game is pretty solid, and i have no issues at all really in mp(sp its bit ropey at times), and the lens of truth anolysis had it averaging at a global average of over 28fps on the mp, so the problem lies in the lag and netcoding im afraid.

For those of u claiming 30fps isnt sufficient in a shooterm have u played bc2 or kz3? , both of which run buttery smooth online at about 30fps. In fact name me a 60fps shooter on a console! ill tell u straiught out there is none, with mw2 and black ops being virtual 60fps(ie they drop when they have to, which is regularly, and operate sub 60fps but usually above 40-ish as human eye cant really percieve difference between that and 60). black ops however, drops on ps3 version as low as about 20fps at times, as it runs upto 20fps slower than 360 version .

so if we want 60fps shooters with any sort of detail in them, we going to have to buy a ps4, or a gaming pc. alternatively, u can have a game that looks like pong and runs at 60fps

I've never experienced so low framerate on PS3 games as on crysis 2 , its really hard to play when the framerate is so slow but atleast the game is fun. It is odd how some people say that the fps runs smooth on this game. You must have really bad eyes or either living in denial or don't give a ****.

X360 fanboy reads somewhere that the PS3 version's framerate dips more often than the 360 version's (it's a fact, but the drops are within like 3-5 fps, and anyone who's actually played the PS3 version knows it isn't noticeable), comes on here, starts this thread. Obvious troll is obvious. Yawn.

Believe me, I'm not an Xbox 360 fan. Literally every person I know who wins a 360 has had it dies at least once from RROD, I wouldn't dream of buying one. And from what I hear, the 360 version of Crysis 2 is basically just as bad as the PS3 in the graphics/framerate department (or with negligible differences). The problem is that Crysis 2 code is jsut porrly written for consoles. It's really sad, beause if they had this game optimized and running smooth on consoles, it would be a devastating COD killer, easily. Honestly, even if they could get it at a smooth 30 fps, it would still be the best first person shooter in the last ten yeas (maybe even better than COD4). Basically Crysis 2 is a damn good, amazing game, which is almost ruined and unplayable due to poor coding and low framerate. The game can still be fun, but it does not run smooth at all. Some maps are better than otehrs of course, and the really bad ones are literally so bad I can't play on them. I don't think Crytek can fix this problem, but I suspect Crysis 3 will be a groundbreaking COD killer it they get it sorted out by then.

Perhaps Crytek should have stuck to making that Sony commercial with the colorful balls.

In all fairness the framerate on both consoles is bad! Off what i can gather the ps3 version drops about 3-10 frames to the xbox copy, and people who are saying they're not experiencing issues must of been playing titles from the last couple of years or so cos it most definatly DOES have issues! I've seen the game on all 3 platforms, obviously pc top's the scale it looks amazing, next the 360, and last the ps3.

The shadowing is below par to the 360 port, and as ive already mentioned the frames can drop down as far as 10 less on the ps3 and thats a fact!

But in all honesty i've played far worse mulitformat games, and it's still an amazing game!

It's not only in the mp, but is also frequent in the sp. Especially when some background animations are happening simultaneously.

What bothers me the most is rather the horrible graphics. When I first started playing I was amazed of the nice look, but the more I came to the ending of the story, the more I noticed those bit fat ugly pixels in the video sequences or the unfinished rendering when I start a new chapter. It's simply horrible!! Why do I own a Full HD-tv when the most graphical advanced game to date isn't even taking advantage out of the resolution given?

My framerate has been smooth as glass from day 1 online and off, quit downloading porm and it should speed up.

Hate to break it to ya but if you see people fading in and out thats not a framerate issue, thats latency (means your lagging). Framerate just slows everything on screen down nothing dissapears. Would be nice if people even knew what problem they were having before commenting. The game has an AWESOME framerate IMO, I do run into lag sometimes tho, usually in the middle of the day (nothing unexpexted, I have basic dsl). These guys prolly have theyre sony and 2 pcs on theyre network at the same time and wonder why they are lagging...watta a joke. Oh framerate is fine by me, lag could use a little work but its stiill one of the best playing online titles I have.

Crysis 2 on consoles (specifically the PS3 version) would be fine if it was a SOLID 30fps (like Killzone or Uncharted 2). But the fact that it dips so low and so often makes it extremely frustrating.

I wish they'd include an option to lower the graphics settings to improve the framerate like on PC's.

I definitely appreciate the difference between lag and framerate. I almost never have lag in any mp game. There will be occasions in Black Ops where I will see my teammates teleport for a split second, and I know that is lag. But that is rare for me. I have a regular cable internet connection which allows me to watch HD movies in Netflix streaming with no hiccups, so I know it is more than capable of handling a video game online. But in Crysis 2, I can basically just be walking through a map, and it will be stuttering as it updates the display. This is framerate, plain and simple. Yes the game also seems to have poor netcoding, but the framerate is a result of unoptimized code. They tried a little too hard on the visuals, to give us a more dynamic color pallette than most shooters, and the maps are intricate as well. Unfortunately the PS3 just chokes trying to render all this stuff, and thus we have the low framerate. It's worst when an orbital strike happens, the framerate seems to drop down to about 5 fps!

F U C K crytek. this is my only comment for the game and the new patch. this comment will never change until they fix the whole game, not come out and aay we fixed the menu music( and its not even fixed!)

Its laggy online with bad framerate and single player frame rate is shocking - Ps3 spec is spossed to be high - My olda pc on High (which is less powerful than even my 360) still seems to have double the framerate - http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/crysis-2-pc-360-ps3-face-off-comparison?size=hd for all you blind peolple that think the framerate is smooth LOL LOL LOL
