Buy Crysis 2 map pack... Or buy World of Warcraft....
Mind you I just finished the 10 day trial after 2 days (reached level cap >.>) and I am contemplating which one to get as WoW is just wow massive and immersible game and it keeps me playing (up until i got mad at level cap). Crysis 2 lost the immersion factor after about 2 days of play-time. The unlocks were nothing unique - nothing to experiment with - and frankly quite dull. Crysis 2 (IMO) lacks the "i don't know if this next unlock will own or svck" factor as you mostly know that Nano Recharge + Cloak Enhance + Retriever blows up the world and nothing compares to that combo.
I know that I might like the RPG element a bit too much but IMHO i liked the COD4's system - cammos for headshots and progressive unlocks for the gun and not the silly ass token system which needs to die.
That's one of the reasons I liked MW2 (PS3) because for all the flaws it had it kept me wanting to grind those headshots and work towards something "better" well better looking.
I am probably going to buy WoW as it is an absolute bargain for the masterpiece it is - and yes monthly payment ffs i know!!!
Crytek has to realise something... WoW - or for that matter any other successful game didn't get there by copy-pasting and adding some "new" features. Exception being CoD4 and MW2 - MW2 was so popular - and still is - comparing to BO because it improved on the CoD4 in most areas but unfortunately messed up in others. This feels like a pathetic stab at Black Ops which in my opinion isn't even worth it - the "currency" system or the token system in Crysis is straight up bollocks. Everyone likes to do a bit of grinding here or there - this is what makes the experience feel "rewarding" and it keeps you playing more and more so you can show off how much of a headshot whore you really are.
Anyhow... This thread went off the rails through an African Jungle and back out the other side...
Main point is: Crysis 2 map pack is NOT worth buying over - well - pretty much anything out there for £10.
I still hope Crysis 3 will blow me.
