Rooftops runs great. Haven't checked out the other map. Options are severely limited and the gameplay is pretty simple, but I already knew that.

Funny to hear ppl complaining about the graphics when people praised the 360 version, and it looks much better.

Played a few matches, I love it!

Sure its simple, but atleast the entire idea of nanosuit, which I love, makes it unique and awesome to play around with.
One thing I dont like is how they removed regular sprint and added it to the energy, VERY annoying! Now if you could combine armor + sprint then sure, but regular sprint should be unlimited like Crysis 1.

Now to graphics.

Native resolution for me is 1680x1050 which looks great IMO (not a big graphics whore which is a good thing).

Now I thought the demo would allow us to be more specific on what we could choose.

I tried Advanced at first and it was a mix of smooth and laggy for me.
Then I tried Gamer, ran perfectly.
Tried Hardcore, was a bit more laggier than Gamer but managable, though for multiplayer aspect, I can't accept that. Needs proper speed for reaction...etc.

On Skyline it ran great on Gamer and somewhat decent on Hardcore while quite laggy on Advanced.

On Pier 17, only Gamer ran perfectly smooth so I am going with Gamer.
Though I wish we could pick Advanced and start be more specific.

Anyways, the multiplayer is great IMO, but I knew that from all the videos I seen.
Can't wait!

I didnt get that much in Crysis 1/Warhead because of the restricted graphics card.
I am happy, I like those effects :)

Sure hard to see sometimes, but worth it lol

This game is a gigantic disappointment for me. Graphics options are severely limited and the AA implementation they used for consoles is forced on the PC... FORCED. TEMPORAL AA IS NOT GOOD IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP. So pissed.

- "Press start to begin"
- autoaim being turned on on default
- no advanced graphic settings, you can only choose predefined settings
- no DX10/11 in the demo
- temporal AA
- low-res textures (seriously, when even Black Ops have better textures than a game that should be a PC benchmark, then you know something is wrong)
- 6v6 multiplayer

Picked this up off of neogaf, pretty much sums it up.

I am not sure how the advanced graphics compare to the console version but I think it looks pretty good.

Too bad Steam compresses the screenshots this much.

I tried Advanced now, it runs 99% perfectly smooth with very rare hiccups but its manageable LOL
Both on Skyline and Pier 17.

But I wonder how the SP will run though considering the maps in MP are small unlike SP is mmore scripted, more open...etc.
But so far so good :)

Yeah, I hope the temporal AA is unique to the demo, but fixed settings are awful period. And serious--auto-aim? LOL!

That said, I still think it looks pretty amazing compared to the (relatively) poor 360 demo. I'm actually much more concerned with the dumbed down gameplay than this stuff anyway.

looks the same as the 360 version to me...with less popups and a little better frame rate

Managed to remember my password, impressions aren't great, doesnt run as well as crysis 1 for me, although it may be that SLI isn't working and i need to update my drivers. The aiming feels rather sluggish and takes a while to respond to mouse moves, and turning off auto aim leaves you at a pretty big disadvantage.

The image quality alone is like a gazillion times better than the 360 version.. and the lack of pop-up and way better LOD scaling too!

I'm actually pretty impressed by how well the console (360) version is holding up, myself. Aside from minor pop-in that's tough to notice while you are playing, and a lower IQ, it's got just about everything. Lighting is great, the physics look about the same (shame really, as the PC version should be using the physx stuff), and the frame-rates are solid. I'm diggin' it myself. I like how much more accessible the powers are, but we need more strength/speed powers. Of course, I'll be goin' PC all the way, but the xbox version looks great. I'm only getting 2 of the maps for some reason though.
I do wish they'd add a little more of the suit's functionality. I'm guessing they removed it for gameplay balance, or something. It's just lame that your "sprint" eats up suit energy when it isn't very fast. I can at least run it butter-smooth on the advanced settings, but It's not looking as jaw-dropping as I thought it would...

If all the ini files are locked in the final game then I won't be buying this anytime soon. What a dick move by Crytek...I am betting they will go Xbox 720 exclusive the minute "next gen" launches

The reason the console versions "hold up well" is because Crytek is quite literally porting the 360 version to PC. Unbelievably bone-headed move. They've encrypted all the files so there will be no modding, and they've also been gracious enough to not include DX10 or DX11 support. Yes, Crysis 2 will be a DX9 game on PC, because the 360/PS3 are DX9. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

hmm seems they received a massive money hat from Microsoft...solidifies what I said. MS will be all over Crytek with Xbox 720...I am betting they are working with them right now

Ok, that is mega-BS. Bad move Crytek. It definitely has a ring of "we don't want to over-shadow the console version too much". Insane. It still looks great, but that is fucking dumb...

I hate the fact that the weapons dont "wobble" and mess with your aim accuracy when you shoot, especially when you go full auto.
Looks like a toy without any recoil other than bullets spreading.

They should have looked at games such as Killzone and Battlefield, add some weapon wobble to the shooting so we know we are using a heavy weaponand discourage spray and pray gameplay and not some painball.
