WHAT A DUMBO!! : Crysis

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 12:25 pm

I purchased the new Retaliation map pack... Yeh, that makes me a complete dumbo. I can't get a game. Is this because there's no one home? I think i'll ask Crytek for a refund as it's not fit for purpose. No, really. Let's be honest, if I bought something to play online with others and no ones home?.... No, I suppose your right, they must have something in the T&Cs that cover their asses.

So did you manage to get a game yet?

No refunds on DLC. It warns you when you buy it. Do some research next time.

Just wait 15 minutes or so, then you'll get into a game and be able to play for as long as you wanna from there. At least that's my experience of the dlc so far.

Not sure what his problem is. I get a match within 5 to 15 seconds. It's not always full but fills up by the start. Maybe it is your internet connection because there are plenty of people playing on these maps. Just saying.

Maybe it's because due to population size in the U.S there is more chance of getting local players than elsewhere, despite how many have quit. Meaning you can find a match quicker?

Or it could be that the bugs in Crysis 2 and the networking seem to be completely random for everybody.

I find matches just as fast as in regular playlists.

Nah, more like 10 to 15 sec.

I haven't had an issue with it at all. DLC plays great.

You think it's bad now, it will be getting worse because Lagtek won't try to help us out on their own forums.

To the OP,

Anyone who bought the DLC and actually got upset about it is obviously completely oblivious. What on earth made you think the game was going to be any different if you downloaded maps? You are a confused and uninformed person and I have no pitty for you. You deserve what you did to yourself.

My NAT is OPEN, only Crysis 2 does this to me. Not Reach or any other game Ive played.

It's the friggin game, not our hardware.

No they are in separate options in the selection menu.
They have split it up into 3 sections instead of the original 6 sections (team instant action, instant action, crash site, capture the relay, assault)

These are the sections for the DLC:

Retaliation Team IA (team instant action)
Retaliation IA (instant action)
Retaliation Onslaught (crash site, extraction and capture the relay)

In the last one, Onslaught, it varies between the maps you vote for about what game mode it is.
