Crysis 2 Message Board older than one year ago

It's just like the old proverb says: Man cannot live on Nanomachine-infused biosuits alone. We need weapons too! All kinds of weapons, with customizable scopes and ammunition, so we can destroy other Crysis 2 players. Check out all the collectible armaments in this new trailer.

Crytek finally shows their stuff on Sony's system.

Crytek gives a few answers.

See the mayhem of Crysis 2's multiplayer in action with the commentary of CryTek's Executive Producer Nathan Camarillo from GDC 2011!

CryTek shares the experience with those who can't attend GDC with a downloadable demo of Crysis 2's multiplayer!

Reminder: The demo is coming to PS3 on March 15.

A brief but invigorating gameplay snippet from the alternative multiplayer mode, Crash Site, on the PS3.

The multiplayer demo for Crysis 2 will come to PlayStation 3 owners on March 15, EA confirmed today. The full retail game ships one week later, so play it quickly! More »

Attention Nanosuit lovers, the Crysis 2 multiplayer PC demo is now available. The new and "improved" Xbox version of the demo has also gone up on Xbox Live, hopefully resolving the issues experienced by players last month.

Just a quick one, as gallons of hot caffeinated beverage must be consumed before full-scale writing can commence. The Crysis 2 multiplayer demo is now available: prepare your tubes for delivery of Crytek’s latest GPU-troubler.

It’s got two maps (Skyline, set on top of the rooftops and interiors of skyscrapers, and Pier 17, an open environment with limited cover), two modes (standard team deathmatch and a defence mode) and it’ll cost 1.5GB of your precious hard drive space. Grab it from places such as here and here. I have yet to play it, but I nonetheless award it 119.7 Shooty-Bangs out of Tier 7 Ultro-Death.

We already knew the Crysis 2 demo was destined for the PC on March 1 (and the PS3 sometime "soon"), but EA confirms today that it'll also be returning to the Xbox 360. The multiplayer demo, for those who didn't get a chance to try it out on the Xbox 360, features two maps and two different game modes: "Pier 17" and "Skyline" are a dilapidated dock and series of NYC rooftops, respectively, while Team Instant Action is your standard team deathmatch variant and Team Crash Site is an objective-based mode where players must find and capture designated areas for points.

Additionally, EA reveals that the initial Xbox-exclusive demo was downloaded over 1.7 million times. For a new trailer and the full press release, hit stealth mode and sneak on past the break.

Use stealth to surprise, confuse and eliminate the alien invaders. With the nanosuit, anything is possible.

New Xbox 360 and PC demo hits on March 1; PlayStation 3 demo coming soon.

Looks like Crytek's planning to pull a nanomechanically-engineered hat trick with its multiplayer demo for Crysis 2 -- it's out already on 360, it's coming to PC on March 1, and according to the game's latest official trailer (posted after the jump), the demo is "coming soon" to the PS3 as well.

We've contacted EA to get a more specific timeframe for the demo's arrival. For now, check out the video after the jump to see exactly how the game looks on Sony's home console. Actually, you could just go read the back-and-forth in these YouTube comments between PS3 and 360 fanboys -- it's just as entertaining as the trailer itself.

New PlayStation 3 gameplay! Contact in the square at 12 o'clock! Slide into battle and frag 'em!

Via beautiful Blues, we get another Crysis 2 trailer. Yes, this is turning into Far Cry 2, where the number of trailers reaches a crazy saturation point before launch. Anyway, this one is about Jacob Hargreave, the man with the nanosuit obsession. It’s detailing some of the story, which was written by Richard Morgan and Peter Watts. Watts, incidentally, it is a genuinely excellent SF author, and is worth looking up. (more…)

The first article in a series covering the music of Crysis 2 has been posted on the dev blog of the MyCrysis community site. The article examines how Crytek went about finding a team to create the music, and then what direction the music would take. One of the more interesting aspects of the production is the existence of multiple versions of a music track that accommodate different situations that arise in the game.

For instance, a battle theme will remain orchestral when fighting mercenaries -- giving a nod to the human conflict -- while it may take on a more electronic tone when players confront aliens in combat. You can listen to an example of this idea in the file below:

On March 1, PC players will get their first chance to try out Crysis 2's multiplayer. A demo will be made available on EA's site, as well as partner sites, on that day and will feature two maps, Skyline and Pier 17, and two game modes, Team Instant Action and Crash Site.

The multiplayer demo previously launched on Xbox Live with major issues. Hopefully, the PC demo will run more smoothly -- so long as your rig is up to snuff.

Suit up.

Finally PC gamers will be able to check out what Xbox 360 gamers have had for the better part of a month: The Crysis 2 demo. Starting March 1, computer gamers will be able to check out how the game plays on their rigs by downloading it here. More »

The wrecked version of New York City seen in the Crysis 2 trailer below serves as the game's backdrop. It could be described as a "playground" for the game's super-suited protagonist though, personally, we don't think we'd let our kids play in an area marred by killer aliens and unstoppable plague.

Take a trip into the future: in 2023, Manhattan won't look the same!

Crytek CEO "completely overwhelmed" by support.

Sink your teeth into the Crysis 2 Experience with this gameplay series, kicking off with footage from the Xbox 360 version.

More than graphical glitter.

You hate to see it happen: a game is on the verge of launching and those scurvy pirates manage to get their hands on an illegal copy or some leaked code. The latest affected is Crysis 2 -- a near-final build including multiplayer is currently floating around the most unsavory areas of the internet. There's a pretty heated discussion (and plenty of screenshots of evidence) over on Facepunch right now.

This latest problem couldn't have come at a worse time for Crysis 2. It's little over a month out and with all of the technical difficulties surrounding its multiplayer demo on Xbox 360 added into the mix, purchase intent and confidence in the upcoming shooter is likely on the decline.

#piracy Crysis 2 won't be released for another month, but a playable version of Crytek's ambitious PC shooter has already made its way online, much to the disappointment of its creators. More »

You'd think the ability to kick a car like a football would suffice, but apparently that ain't enough in Crysis 2. This latest video details the game's multiplayer progression system. In short, even if you decide not to kick some cars, there should be plenty to keep you busy.
