Who Cares about the SCAR v2 ?

Post » Sat Aug 07, 2010 4:01 pm

In Crysis, it was as our first primary assault rifle, in Warhead the same and In Crysis Wars we bought it just for fun. Crysis 2 has SCAR v2, and it deserves to be honored as a weapon that the nanosuit will continue to utilize.

(Hopefully, since your enemies use SCAR v2, there has to be a lot of ammunition available. Because back in Crysis 1, SCAR ammo was scarce and rare. Except in the end-game.)

SCAR 2 is just like NanoSuit 2, looks different, but there's no clear advantage. Crytek just keeps saying it's better,... but it isn't
There's no superior functionality to SCAR2 OR NanoSuit2... as far as I'm concerned the originals are vastly superior during combat.
Another huge gripe I have is, your hand position when holding the gun is way too far up the barrel. If you ever see a real soldier holding a rifle their hand is usually as far back as possible, sometimes even grasping the clip itself, or a grip attachment.

The scar was my favorite weapon in Crysis and with the new look and sound the new scar is already my favorite weapon and the game has not even come out yet. Hopefully there will be tons of Scar ammo around so i can use it alot.

It sounds less theoretical and more possible at this point.

If you've played the first Crysis this gun was called the scar, i do not think that any of these weapons were supposed to replicate any real life weapons. And so they desinged the look and called it the Scar.

Yes I think we all care about the SCAR. I first got shocked when I saw the Central Station footage. They temporary replaced it with the SCARAB (a bit different then the SCAR but they removed the carrier handle) but back at the Gamescom I saw they put the SCAR back to it's place... still it is 5 months away from us... Crytek we need more input. x(

i don't think there was ever a plan to replace the SCAR with anything, the SCARAB was the weapon of choice for the central station level or atleast the demo version of it. they're both in the game as far as i know.

Me too!

I suddenly remembered about the Dsg-1:
Why didn't they put a silencer on it?

I believe that when it was created i think it was just too loud or too powerful for a silencer somthing like that.

I think that the creaters wanted it to be like that of the 50cal sniper, that thing is too damn loud to have a silence.

Oh well, at least Crysis 2 will feature its feature weapon.

Thanks Crytek, for fixing that.

Just a little clarification:
This is the difference between a SCAR and an XM8:

Most of you guys will notice, the build concept was originally from the real scar, they just made it a bit curvy and added the XM8's carrier handle. That's all.

SCAR v2 is alright.
My biggest problem with the introduction of new weapons in games is that there's no clear advantage to it over the original, just looks different.
I like the original Crysis SCAR a lot more, it was simple and was a more believable standard US Army Rifle. I want something functionally better, not ascetically different and just say it's better(even though it isn't)
SCAR v2 just looks big and silly. The trend with(real-life) modern assault rifles these days, typically, is to make it as small and deadly as possible, I'm not convinced the SCAR v2 is any better than the original....bring back the original, please :-)

I hope they do, but with SCAR V2, the orig. scar will just be the new FY71.

I am looking forward to actually having ammo for my Scar. I loved using it in Crysis and Warhead, but since ammo was so scarce, I wasn't able to use it a lot.

the Scar is the best Weapon in Crysis , Stable and powerfull with big clips is the best choice for close combat and large combat too but the clips are too rare so need to be carefull how you spent those bullets :P

At least we all know how scarce ammo was for the scar back in Crysis 1.
