Crytek, you brought this on yourselves....

In a timespan of couple of month there will be new games drawing fanbase away from Crysis 2. I doubt it will "die" out easily. After all, we got steam sales promotion :) Knock off 20% and people go shopping crazy.

Good example would be Dawn of War 2, the game was pretty broken in the beginning and many people complained at balance issues and Dawn of War's eminent dismiss. But, Dawn of War 2 had many patches with dramatic changes, several expansions and still kicking about.
However, Warhammer 40.000 is totally different franchise compared to Crysis and Relic have done an "All inn" commitment to Warhammer 40.000 universe. Makes sense they do everything in their might to keep their games alive.

Now I dont know what Crytek's ambitions are, do they want to become the next Epic Games and create epic game engines or do they wish to develop epic games like Blizzard? Most likely neither...

Mr_1958, do whatever you want for your sadistic soul. I don't restrict you to do whatever you want and whatever you can, it's your choice. I've already saw trolls fatter than you. You will not eat my brain junior troll.
No troll you say? You're acting like troll (saying STFU and other, this if forum, I also like you will be writing and doing what I want(respecting the rules of this forum of course). If you're having a complex about it. Then STFU and keep it with you. It's your problem!), posting like troll, and you have avatar where imaged troll(or something like that.)
The fact that I don't blame them don't making me stupid. It makes you stupid when you judging my moral opinions. Оpinions differ, tastes and habits also, as the moral. That's why you can blame them, and I will not. Cause I'm not you.
I will just ignore you. From NOW. Cause I don't feed trolls. Goodbye ^_^

No, you are definitely NOT me, Piotr? :) You are, however, a coward, a fool and a liar. Didn't you already say that you weren't going to post at me again? I won't bother parsing the above masterpiece this time, being that it speaks so well of your mental state, sh1thead.

Maybe it will "die". I hopefully think that it wouldn't. Cause I see that many peoples still playing, it means that they are also hoping for "Fully fixed game".
After all, if it "die", then will be "Fully fixed" and "Knock off 20% and people go shopping crazy" That circumstance that people will be crazy about it, if it will be "true", it will reborn like Phoenix from the ash. In that case there will be a lot more peoples. The game will be much enjoyable.

I'm with Mr_1958

Crytek should be ashamed and probably are. The game is unacceptable. I don't blame Crytek for ALL of it since BigDaddy EA was their Pimp for this game, but Crytek did NOT deliver whatsoever to the PC crowd. Lowres(Sometimes PS2 quality) textures, no Crossfire support, broken AI, broken MP, broken CONTROLLER/MOUSE(lol jk, I did want to throw them a few times tho)

Anyone defending Crytek is stupid. That's not an opinion it's fact. Even with their Editor and SDK coming out, it shouldn't be up to the "community" to FIX their pos game

Lol, 4 months! This games already on life support and fading fast!

Not really man, I still see lotsa people playing online. I CAN'T WAIT for the mods tho!! THAT is what will make this game SUPERY DUPERY EPICLY AWESOME!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D::DDDDDDDDD

AND DX11 too!! :D

And also, I just want to mention, 4 month life to a game is EXCELLENT. Why do people expect 3-4 years of game life. That's only for certain games GEARED SPECIFICALLY to competetive multiplayer, like counterstrike or team fortress. Crysis 2 is supposed to be competetive in some sense, is supposed to be super fair, and is mainly just to be fun online.

Dunno what you mean, I played Warcraft 3 + TFT and Counter-Strike Source for 4 years. Played a lot of World in Conflict too.
I can bet my ass on the fact that if you go online in World in Conflict, you still find people playing.
That is not bad, right?

The number of players playing is dwindling and ppl are going back to bc2. Man that game spoiled us all. But I guess a double xp weekend and some free big maps can bring back many player

@emperorCleon
Even 6 years old kid can understand that glitches happen and it doesn't matter how long you test it. Guess your mental state is bellow six...

I'm sure you meant.. unplayable, rather than "glitches".

I am playing without problem and bunch of other people as well so where do you see here "unplayable game"? Just tell me where, because i am sick of those trolls like yours. Ofc. that there are people with problems but that doesn't mean that game is unplayable =.="

It's all about you, isn't it? Have you even bothered to take a look outside of this thread? Have you seen the the 110 page thread for Xfire issues?

I got rid of one of my 6870s mostly because of this game not using it(I just built a new PC to play Crysis2.... My 8 yr old system with AGP graphics plays it fine....Sad really) Because crossfire doesn't work and the is NOT the next graphics powerhouse(And no other games utilize 2 high end GPUs much anyway. Gonna do an SLI build for BF3)

But it isn't just xfire issues. It's the fact that many people, including myself, couldn't even get into multiplayer servers, let alone complete a match(I have yet to logon to crynet ONCE successfully)

On top of the glitches and bugs with AI, the textures are utterly HORRID. I've seen better textures in original XBOX games(AND Portal 2, which is running on a modified engine created in 2004)

Add to that the lack of unscripted destruction, less interactivity with the world, smaller levels, broken upgrade system, and the fact that thousands of pirates not only get the game for free but are getting the MP to work for them more than actual paying customers?

If you're one of the lucky ones miraculously not affected by any of these issues, congrats on your ignorance. Enjoy the game.

Personally I brought my PC copy back and got the xbox 360 version(Definitely had more attention. Aside of antialiasing and shadow detail, the game looks just as good as it does on my PC, with less bugs. Yeah it only runs 30fps but at least it's stable. I only get 45fps with my suped up PC on max settings which doesn't look any better so what's the point?)

Once modders get super highres texture packs and DX11 is implemented, I may do another PC build and replay the game, possibly even using to to showcase my PCs for sale. Unless that happens tho, Crysis1 and BC2 and Metro2033 are still top dogs
