Crysis 2 Minimum Specs Out [Demo Out]

[no00dylan]

It looks and plays beautifully

Is anyone else having trouble getting in-game? Tried 4 different servers and none of them load the game. I've talked to a few other people who are having the same problem.

You must pick a server that has latency. If it says "0" then its bugged and won't launch. I'm also a bit surprised that this game even runs on my 2 1/2 year old laptop, on low settings of course, but its better then nothing.

Getting the demo tonight.

Hopefully my computer can run it well(30+fps) on the highest settings.

Current rig:

CPU: AMD Athlon 5200+ Dual Core, ~2.7GHz

So I played it today for 4 hours. Note that I've never played any of the CoD games so this whole perk, XP system is all new to me and thus has a stronger effect on me than others. But yeah I enjoyed it. When playing with a good team it's very fun. I tend to stealth a lot and use the decoy addon which is super effective.

Anyone else get strange rendering visuals when the map loads up? First you see simple colours then polygons and finally everything is lit and textured. Does it every time.

Anyway there are some useless perks in that demo. I mean, it's so fast paced most of the time, I barely get a chance to hear footsteps. I also despise that second map that's all wide open. Sniper heaven, especially when there's so much junk to traverse over.

I have to add a note to my last "runs and plays beautifully"

The system for joining a game is pretty crap. You have to just... wait? For some unknown ammount of time. I'm not talking about the bugged servers, after awhile they actually work. But the system as they have it is just awful and makes the menu music get real old, real fast. I almost get sick of it.

[Gary]

Well, I very much enjoyed this.

"But Gary, you have a 1000+ms ping, you can't play online!"

Well, despite the fact that Crysis's ping counter is maxed out at 999 for my connection, I can still have a decent play; level 4 with 16 Kills so far and *Cough*24 deaths*cough* total.

Graphics are awesome if this is Dx9, runs very well on average even on Hardcore. Though, no matter what level of graphics I get this extremely(near game breaking) lag spike. Not a connection based spike, but engine.

I like the multiplayer system, but this might be invalid for others as I can't compare this to any other game, as I can't play any other game online that I know of.

I can't even log-in.

All it says is "Cannot connect to Network: check your connection".. apparently it's a common fault and they're fixing it, but you guys seem to have been playing fine, so o_o

[Habboi]

That was yesterday, today they might be experiencing problems. Are you playing through Steam?

[Mighty Monk]

Yeah I am. Is that an issue I take it?

[Gary]

I'm using the non steam version.

Played for 5 minutes then uninstalled.

[Smurftyours]

Played for 5 minutes then uninstalled.

I doubt five minutes was enough to get through the server rigamarole.

[Jangalomph]

Im just disappointed its not the full graphics :/

[Gary]

Still looks pretty damn good, DX10 is just a bunch of shit.
