but I just can't anymore.

Matchmaking is terrible,and the lag is still atrocious.Couldn't even get into a Crash Site match earlier.

I guess I'm just going to have to keep playing through the single player until Brink comes out next month.

Brink, Duke Nukem, BattleField 3, and don't forget RAGE!!!

all FPS you should look into....

but I just can't anymore.

The problem with match making is that it puts you with people across the world, so obviously theres gonna be lag. But wait untill they fix it, they're working on it. Don't be one of those guys who bashes everything because hes impatience

But you have to understand that I'm not necessarily bashing it,but the problem is that Crytek is in a race against the clock.There are just too many games coming out for them to fail in fixing certain things that are broken in this game.

With a ton of people chomping at the bit to play Brink,which comes out next month,and other still playing broken,crappy Homefront,along with other old favorites,they really can't afford to drop the ball or the MP will die a premature death.

Just my opinion though.

I don't blame ya man, at least those games have a chance to be a finished product. I really think that they should a spent a bit more time on Crysis 2.

I think that's one of the problems with a company that tries to release games on multiplatforms.There's just so much pressure to get something released by a certain time that they usually end up cutting corners.

I remember listening to the Zipper podcasts,and one of the things that they said is that every single time a game is released,the designers always wish that they had more time to work on things.Seems that another month of work on this game wouldn't have hurt.

The multiplayer is pretty bad, I haven't had as many issues as some but its still extremely annoying that the game works so poorly. I can get in matches but I have to find a new lobby every match. The lag is also annoying and I'm sure that it is responsible for most of the problems that people are having(hit detection etc...). However, in regard to problems like not being able to shoot, reload, or aim...these are just ridiulous since it is after all, a shooter. It's not like things are gonna get any better from here on. Developers understand that they are able to patch it at a later date so they aren't under as much pressure to make it right the first time. I love the game and I'm still playing it but it is only a matter of time before I've had enough and just move on. Hope another patch comes out soon because for me, the first patch only made things worse. Goodluck Crytek

I hope you will have better luck with the p2p in Brink, looked at Brink earlier but too bad i don't like the setting of the game very much so i will probably stick with C2 and MoH until bf3 gets more info released.

If anything they should look at a Battlefield type......Crysis Wars or something.


Huge maps...Vehicles, classes, 12 vs 12...

it shouldn't be that hard.....not saying rip off the idea but maybe trying to Branch out into a bigger more audience grabbing platform.

I wouldn't mind having the option to being dropped off a Ceph gunship and podding onto an enemy.....


But then again, I am a dreamer and a gamer....you can't always get what you want from companies.... oh look a CUPCAKE!!!

Agreed. There's too many FPS games coming out, so people will move on if the problems don't get sorted. They don't bother me, but they bother a lot of other people and they are the ones that will jump ship to a game that suits their tastes.

Though with Killzone 3's MP being a broken, unbalanced, retro map glitching, laggy, ultimate camping mess, and Homefront seemingly being hated (though I haven't played it myself), Crytek got some breathing room. Brink is looking mighty promising, and Duke isn't kicking ass until June. Brink will be the deciding game, I reckon.

There's still another patch to come though. Let's not get the coffin prepared just yet.

Oh, so you have that problem too. I thought i was the only one...
Yesterday i was in the middle of a match and out of nowhere, BAM! i stopped being able to aim, shoot or melee... :S

Btw, is it me or when you're the host you do worse than normal?

I've been having the same problems with this game. It has been freezing as of last night and once in a while it locks up where I can shoot, melee, switch weapons, or reload. I even had an instance where I shot my rocket launcher and I couldn't move from the spot I shot it at. I was able to shoot, reload, switch weapons, turn, look up and down, but I couldn't move from that spot like run, sprint, slide or jump... They need a new patch quick before multiplayer dies. Also can't get into certain games.

MP won't die, it's still fun for the majority. If you look through the forums, which most players will never check, it's the same people that are flooding them with negative comments. I don't think that the fan base will abandon the game so quickly and easily. The game has its problems but I can still have fun playing it and I think thats the case for almost everyone.

Actually,that's one thing that I'm very concerned about with Brink,and that's why I'm actually considering getting a new PC,because it's running on dedicated servers over there.

I think that Brink's gaming features will be a fresh addition to the FPS crowd.

"Though with Killzone 3's MP being a broken, unbalanced, retro map glitching, laggy, ultimate camping mess"

With the exception of Map glitching, u just described crysis , except u forgot to add in the bit about the hit detection being totally borked .

Kz3 has improved drastically and they are adding substantial patches to it and really making that game infinitely better to play than this game tbh

There's far better balance to game , it actually works, no lag, no hit detection issues, and no connection issues.
Ive been lucky in that I've been relatively issue free on both from beginning , but crysis 2 with it's hit detection issues and slight lag for me just makes me want to give up and trade it. I have halo reach, kz3 , bc2 , and what does this game bring to party exactly?? Frustration mainly, so I'm this close to saying goodbye , as like others have said there's many more fps around corner , but I'm not buying them either . I'll wait till I know how they work online after month or so, cause I'm fed up of this crap with new games.

Think u should check other gaming forums , for most part the mp has been an unmitigated disaster, and ppl are trading it in left, right and centre. For most part the campaign has gone down well , but the mp is considered to be a mess.

suarez07:

People are trading in Killzone 3 left, right and center as well. The SP was criticised for lots of things (chief among them, too many cut scenes) and the MP has been a disaster as well with many Killzone 2 players not touching it and the CoD crowd (which Guerilla so desperately tried to bring in) don't want to know.

I wouldn't call Crysis 2 broken. Few glitches, but not broken. I also can't call it unbalanced, as everyone's the same from the start. We all have cloak, armour and power. The only thing we unlock is weapons (and as most people just use SCAR anyway, it doesn't matter really) and perks. And the perks aren't game changing, as i've seen high level players get owned by people half their rank. Killzone 3 unlocks each class upgrades individually, so you can get destroyed if you're not there from the beginning.

Its also the ultimate camping game. Let's see, what's worse. Crysis 2, where if you cloak it drains your health and drops it to 0 if you shoot while cloaked? Or Killzone 3, where marksman can remain cloaked indefinately, have a machine gun and possess the ability to scramble your radar from a considerable distance? Oh, and lets not forget the infiltrator...

Though with regards to the hit detection, Crysis 2 is P2P and such, dodgy hit detection is to be expected. Killzone 3 uses dedicated servers, and as such is not to be expected.

Though Guerilla maybe adding patches... but they have to. People were leaving Killzone 3 in droves (myself included thanks to their questionable 'improvements') and its clear the game was released about 4 months too early. Crytek are releasing patches and improving an already brilliant game. This game only really has little niggles, not problems like being stuck on Pier 17 every time I play TIA.

Though how can Killzone 3 have 'no connection issues'. lol Upon release nobody could connect! And people still have some issues. I experienced them, whereas I haven't with Crysis 2.

cant say any of those things really bothered me tbh, and i find the infiltrator an interesting adition to keep u on your toes.

all u have to do is look through these boards to see ppl have had connection issues. i am one of luckier ones with kz3 as ive never had issues, and my issues with crysis 2 been minor. Just as u havent had them, doesnt mean they dont exist, ive learnt this with fps's recently, i had issues galore with black ops on both ps3 and 360, whereas others had none and thought u were making it up if u said it was a lag fest.

The mechanics of crysis 2 seem more cod style orientated whereas kz3 seems more in line with a bc2 style team based approach. Jus

i agree that kz3 was rushed, and that crysis 2 is a very good mp, but if u ask me, kz3 has better long term potential. Neither will sustain huge crowds long term though, and so far I fail to see what crytek have patched that has improved game. The lag is still there, the bad netcoding is still there with ppl being paired with hosts across the globe etc.

Put it this way, if u look at kz3 forums and crysis 2 firums, theres less complaining there, than here about lag and connection issues

lol @ already assuming that other games are going to be released completely perfect.

Who's assuming they will be perfect? I'm not that's for sure!
Exact opposite in fact. I'm not buying another fps on day one again, although bf3 with it's dedicated servers might just sway me, but anything with p2p is a no no for definite until I know for sure that game world well online . Ive been burnt too often

cant say any of those things really bothered me tbh, and i find the infiltrator an interesting adition to keep u on your toes.

Really? You're not just saying that? Something that forums are still raging about didn't bother you? You got the patience of a saint or something? Or perhaps its because you're one of them... (j/k)

You're right, Crysis 2 is more CoD oriented. It just feels that way. Killzone 3 tried to eat into the CoD market share but ended up alienating both the Killzone 2 fans and the CoD crowd. I loved Killzone 2. LOVED it. But they made so many changes for the worse I don't want to know.

I disagree that they won't sustain huge crowds for long though. Killzone 3 definately wont as it tried to be all things for all people and has already failed in that respect. Crysis 2 can be a long and successful game if Crytek hurry up with what people want. Before the Brink hype train gets rolling most likely.

Though Guerilla has yet to address their fanbase much. The map glitch is still there. The marksman is HATED and Guerilla refuse to take away its overwhelming advantage. I've been in games on Killzone where the other team has been made up entirely of infiltrators and marksman and my team has been shooting each other because they don't know whose who.

Though a quick look at the Killzone 3 forums has people saying the games already dead/dying as people can't get in full games.
