Not playing competitively on a console...that is like racing unicycles instead of motorcycles...just doesn't make sense to me.

Sorry but not all of us can play on a PC. Don't gotta be rude. This is for people who are playing competitively on Console. So don't even need to post.

why 4v4 and not 6v6? not much of a stretch and the game was made for 6v6. honestly consoles lag too much for serious competitive play, but have fun.

People can play 6v6, but most competitive teams play 4v4 on console.. dunno why.. just do.

Consoles lag somewhat but not in good hosts.. they don't meet up to PC's but it is still solid. Also, I hate clicking a mouse to kill someone, like I played UT on PC and I feel like I am actually doing something with stick.. and mouse click just felt like nothing if that makes sense. It is just my opinion. I think this game will be great on PC just don't know where you all play competitively through.. like waht league or site or what? lol

I'm sorry... I wasn't intending to be rude, but it wasn't really clarified in the title or post. I know this sounds elitist and I am sorry for this as well, but competitive console gaming just seems like high school baseball when compared to pc competitive gaming which would be more like the minor leagues. And once again I'm sorry for that but that is just how I see it.

I'm the opposite I guess as far as preference...for fps and rts i gotta have mouse and keyboard. The limitations of the thumbsticks ruin precision aiming when you are accustomed to a mouse. However, I will concede that thumbsticks offer superior controls for many other games.

My other beef is with the dreadfully low button count (in crysis wars I think I have 42 buttons that I use fairly regularly). It forces devs to get rid of important gameplay options like prone or even an entire suit mode :(.

So don't take it personally that some of us are slightly irritated by the inclusion of consoles to c2. Because it is difficult to give up certain things in game play that you are accustomed to, but to console gamers it isn't a big deal because you don't know what you are missing.

As far as pc gaming is concerned, crysis wars competitive players take part in esl http://www.esl.eu/eu/crysiswars/ . However, this is primarily a European league as most players on this side of the pond have moved on or just don't compete because there aren't enough of us. There are several other leagues like twl or even clanwars that are more US oriented, but who knows whether or not anyone will be interested in starting a league (and this is assuming competitive players stick with c2 because most of them are not liking the "streamlined" and slowed down approach to c2 multiplayer when compared to the incredibly free and open experience offered in c1 and cwars (at least from what I can tell).

I understand the mouse and keyboard.. I loved the precision aiming it gave, which felt too easy to me at times, that is why I play console now, cuz I think it is hard to aim compared to a pc. Now the 42 button things.. that is crazy that you do that.. I love the amount of things to you can do, but that seems like a crazy WAY TOO much amount of buttons to use.

The major thing is that Crysis was a PC game.. taht is why people are mad.. if it was made for both then the issue would even be around. I am glad prone is not it in, because prone feels cheap to me.. (though it is a realistic thing to do).

I just hope the game is great, because I didn't even really know much about it until the demo was out on xbox. I am a huge competitive gamer so a new title hopefully will be fun.

Saying that Crysis 2 can only be played competitivly on PC is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard...

It might be easier to organise than on consoles, but still...

I dont really see the point of "competitive" console gaming. Consolers play competitive with things like killstreaks, perks, etc enabled and dont have access to balance mods. Almost all "competitive" console gaming is public ladder stuff like MLG that every 12 year old wannabe Youtube montage maker signs up for. The kind of people who use nicknames like SiikSc0p3z and Imbapwner.

MLG isnt any more competitive than joining some random lobby and stomping some randoms.

This game is already looking to be another casual game with no hope of being competitive (like Black Ops and Halo:Reach). Unfortunately...

Classic case of gamer elitism.

One day they'll realise that the skills they hold so highly mean nothing outside of their game room.
