EA and Crytek have released a trailer to announce the first DLC of Crysis 2. Retaliation will contain 4 new maps (Park Avenue, Transit, Shipyard and Compound) and will be available on May 17 (18 in Europe) on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Dx 11 patch is no priority for Crytek. They announced it to mainly to stop the complaints from PC-gamers. I think it will be released this summer together with the sandbox editor.
As for the trailer: the maps look good. But I don't know if I'm willing to pay money for it.
Crysis 1 shipped as a PC game that could only see one CPU core and it was'nt until the third or fourth patch that Crytek released that enabled not only a huge number of bug fixes and enhancements but finally the game could see dual CPUs. That patch was 400+MB and there is the final 50MB patch which is really for server issues.
But guess what it doesn't matter what you did weather you installed it in a 64bit OS or 32bit OS, the game ran pretty much the same and the well known higher than "Very High" setting is still not enabled and thats for a Dx10 era, however there have been fans who made custom tools to enable it but it does not run stable or rather it could not run much back in the days of 2008. Most PC fanboys have moved on and now that the Dx 9 Crysis 2 fiasco happened its likely that the so called "dx 11" patch should weight in at well over 400MB, likely 800MB plus as Direct x 11 is very different than Dx9.

@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)
