my Crysis 2 review
Posted on 3/29/11 at 9:32 am
Posted on 3/29/11 at 9:32 am
got the game last night... played for 3 or 4 hours. VERY FUN.
graphics are amazing.
Only played 1 chapter of the campaign but so far its a lot of fun and i dont usually touch campaigns, but the story is intriguing.
And of course, the multiplayer:
Comparing the multi on this to the multi on homefront is remarkable... now i realize i tried playing HF on launch night , and im playing Crysis 2 6 days after launch, but damn, Crysis 2 party matchmaking is smooth is heck. MJL, Blitzed , Anti and I were able to get into matches verrrrry quickly.
lot of room for "skill" to shine through with Armor/Cloaking and balancing with energy.
some cons...
spawning seems super fricked up. Quite a few times id spawn right in front someone who was ADS, or someone would spawn in front of me, back turned, etc etc.
lag does exist, of course, but its really not that bad/game breaking.
i am pretty satisfied with my purchase and look forward to playing with friends.

Actually it was pretty smooth on launch night. We had zero issues with parties or matchmaking

I finally started to adjust in our final game last night

this. the only real negative imo. if there's any rhyme or reason to the spawns, i haven't figured it out yet. you seemingly pop up randomly on the map

lag has been minimal for me. it's there, but not noticeable most times.

he was doing pretty good. i think he enjoyed it
Posted on 3/29/11 at 9:56 am to SaintLSUnAtl
To be honest. I've never noticed any lag on my part. Can't really say " I saw him first " bc of all the factors that goes into a 1v1 fire fight.
As far as spawning very rarely does it put me behind or in front of a player. I can only remember 1 time each.

Yeah, it hasn't happened to me a lot either. It's just crazy how the spawn works. Just all over the place randomly it seems. Other than my own suckage I don't really have any complaints. I think I finally started to figure out my rhythm towards the end last night though.

shite is unforgiving if you run by yourself, thats for sure.
obviously the better our teamwork gets, the better we will be in TDM..
Parking Deck kinda sucks. Terminal is fun.
the Sniping on this game is pretty good too. another plus.
and i wont be getting TW so ill stick around a while

City Hall is cool too. Probably b/c I know that map pretty well. Was Terminal the last one we played that's all indoors? I like that map too. I prefer close quarter maps on this one for some reason.

If we can have some consistency it will be fun. I'll be gone all next week though so that sucks. I hope ya'll are still playing when I get back.

:) who's playing tonight?
Posted on 3/29/11 at 10:27 am to jefforize
Ive been running solo a lot and have jump my K/D from .85 to 1.07 in 2 nights. I don't like being out in the open. So if I can get away from the fire fight where I see you and you don't see me bc your focused on something else then I can do a little work.
Like the sniping spot I showed you on statue. Your in a corner away from action and you see them but they have no idea your there. Eventually the catch on. Go stealth and they think your gone. Rinse and repeat.

I need to show you that spot on that map I told you about. I don't remember the map but it's a sweet spot. Might not work for long once they watch killcam but what spot does? At the very least it will be difficult for them to get to you
Posted on 3/29/11 at 10:33 am to Blitzed
yeah, that sniping spot was money. just got to get my rhythym down.
yeah that was terminal, MJL..
PEVY... ill be playing tonight... if you arent on TW12 or PS3

My grandparents are coming over for dinner so I may not get a chance to log in at all tonight. Tomorrow it's on though! You better be there Pevy (even though we both know you're gonna bail on us when LESI come calllin' with BLOPS...)

Wall street.
Sniping is tought man. Your move fast as well as the target. I only do it of a few maps.

IDK if it was the team we were playing but they basically stayed sniping on one side of the map while you and nappy sniped from the other and 3-4 of their guys kept huddling up in one of the crumbled buildings in the middle.
I'm not a huge fan of it but again, I like smaller maps on this game.
What was that last map we played? I'm awful with the names so far, but that last map was sweet. I finally got a streak going. Cloak, run up on ya, armor, kill, cloack, run up on ya, armor, kill. It's tough to do that on larger maps.
Posted on 3/29/11 at 10:42 am to jefforize
Not to sure. Only played it twice. One of those maps where I have no sense of direction and panic.
Posted on 3/29/11 at 10:44 am to SaintLSUnAtl
I wanna say it was wall street.
