EA has put online a couple of screens and a trailer of Crysis 2 announcing its multiplayer demo set to hit the Xbox Live on January 25. You'll be able to play on one map that is Skyline and try two game modes: Team Instant Action and Crash Site.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)

First a closed beta on 360 now a MP demo on 360?
Alot of 360 and PC footage but one lousy PS3 screenshot?
I have no idea what they are thinking TBH, this isnt COD were 360 gets priority, I expect them to treat all platforms equally.
360 gets a closed beta, PS3 gets a multiplayer demo and PC gets a single player demo, all wins.
I will be buying this game regardless, but I will be dissapointed if PS3/PC doesnt get any demo soon and I will be pissed if they make the PS3 version the worse considering all the praise in the interviews they gave earlier.
Awesome trailer though, very awesome.
But I fully expect the PS3 version to be a shit show. If Crytek was extremely confident in it, they'd have pulled an Id and showed all three versions simultaneously (and no, I don't consider a tech demo transparency).
There has been alot of PC and 360, I could have sworn during GDC or some event they said they had 360s running Crysis 2 that people could play along with PC.
Its funny that the only image we see from PS3 is a blurry shit screenshot of a view, and yet they kept going how PS3 version seemed to be better than 360, so basically PC>PS3>360.
Its annoying really because I dont want to pay for a game on a platform that sucks ass, I did that with Black Ops and I dont want to do that again with this game.
And Crysis 2 is out in March, thats soon.
Releasing games on system you don't like and forcing yourself to work on these system is just stupid. Crytek won't become the next Epic or Bungie by releasing a slideshow with screen tearing that runs at 15 frames per second. Gamer's will probably hate the developer go back to worshiping Bungie or Infinity Ward.
Crytek should have waited for PS4 and Xbox 720 and demanded $ony and M$ to add 4 gigs of ram for their next console
OH and BTW Crytek abandoned Crysis 1 after the second patch, the third patch which was suppose to balance multiplayer was in the work but CANCELLED and now Crysis Multiplayer is full of Russian hackers (fucking punkbuster) and laggy "no cd key servers" Crysis Wars also suffered a similar fate. The chances of this multiplayer being supported down the line are ZERO.
A closed platform should be perfect for them. Sure it wont look as good as the screens shots.. but then it wont on most peoples pc's either.
Crysis 2 is probably getting some 360 favourtism because its the biggest install base they're attempting to sell to. Plus MS has them working on other projects exclusively for them
Doom_Bringer: Are you blaming Crytek for this? Its not their fault MS and Sony havent released a new system yet. Thats all they've had to work with. Don't worry, PC version will look amazing. I do not know why you people are so hung up on graphics anyway.
My concern is the stealth option on the nano suit. Seems it would open a can of worms up with the campers out there. Hope it has some kind of balance mechanism that makes it fair to people who don't feel like sitting around the whole time waiting for someone to run in front of them.
Other than that, looks like a blast. Loved that music too.
btw I remember seeing Crysis running well in 1up's review machines back when it was released. I think Shawn Elliot said it ran well with a GT 8800 (at a certain resolution not 1080p)
These guys loving pushing technology, the ice levels in Crysis were held back due to the min specs...I remember playing Far Cry on my rig when it was released and that too ran like crap on my ATI 9800 pro...I don't think these guys are suited to work with a closed box like Naughty Dog or some of Sony's first party studios.

I am not blaming Crytek...when their CEO is spouting stuff like "consoles are a generation behind pc" and "consoles are holding back PC" its obvious they are forcing themselves to work on limited technology.
Btw the multiplayer will me dead within a year IMO. Once Battlefield 3 and the next CoD is released, no one will care about Crysis 2

I play at 720p with MAXIMUM settings (and some custom settings) with 2X wide tent AA and the game still drops frame rate heavily in certain areas (looking at village from top of the hill for instance) those areas aren't well optimized!? The game designers put too many objects so the frame rate drops....
I have played the game on TWO computers!! One with dual core and second hexa core and two gpus (512 vram vs 1gig vram) IT IS UNOPTIMIZEDDDD (uses 1.5 cores, abandoned after release!!!)
Guess the demo will explain it all.
When is the 360 demo coming out?
Forgot the 0.
.
a demo for each would be fair, what you suggested is awful lol

A multiplayer demo on all platforms at the same time.
Compared to most of the FPS games I've been playing, this looks like a refreshing change gameplay-wise.

When you know wich version is most likely to sell worse or bomb, you jump on its legs like a mad horny dog ... maybe the more gullible userbase my bite it. Even if its based on Huge lies (Ghostbuster: The Game Developers).
