A LOT of people hate it for the PC version though. Very buggy.
It's Maximum Console.
Though, DX11 is coming via a patch for PC.

Pretty good game. I'd say its worth it. Multiplayer isn't everyone's style though. My buddies and I enjoy it but its easy to see why people get pissed off.

for 30$, it's a good game...
they totally screwed the pc gamers this time.
lame as hell.
game is still fun enough, because the suit is so damn overpowered.
but how bad they screwed the pc community is just horrible.
it actually has less area and less options/interactions than FarCry and Crysis... horrible.

Anyone know if the difficulty in Crysis 2 can be adjusted? My girlfriend is making an attempt to give FPS a try, and I think she would like the suit idea, but I know she would get frustrated if its too difficult for her. Any ideas?

Excellent...TU and thx! The days when you HAD to get a great game on day one are gone. I just wait maybe a month or even less and the price plummets.

The multiplayer experience for pc is frustrating and disappointing. The hit detection is horrendous, people can just spray and prey and you'd get headshotted. Other times, you stand right behind someone and empty a whole clip, and they don't die. Then they fire 2 shots and you're dead.

There are multiple (Recruit, Soldier, Veteran, and Supersoldier). In addition you can lower the difficulty at any time.

Play your first online game, then change the ps3's date/time to 6 months later and play another game. Problem solved?

That's how the game is designed. You can't spam your suit powers or you will die easily. That's what makes the game fun, it has more strategy than your typical FPS.
Spray and pray will always exist in FPS. Again...not a problem because every FPS has it's BS moments.

I never said anything negative about the suit powers, so I agree with you on the suit adding a nice element to the game. However, your post did not address anything I said about the hit detection. Spraying and getting kills is one thing that all fps' have, but when you have a much higher probability of racking up kills by spraying rather than aiming and bursting, something is really wrong.

apparently the date/time is connected to game's server time not the ps3's time...I think this was Crytek's cheap strategy to keep players from quickly reselling the game

except it might be "indefinite" before you play your first online game.

Yeah on the PC it lets you adjust the difficulty. I think it was on the fly too, so you can change it at anytime.
It's an okay game. Dumbed down version of Crysis with worse graphics and a more set path for missions. Disappointing when compared to Crysis, but still a fun game to play. Probably worth playing for this price or lower.

This game is going to be an EA Insider Deal this week, so it may be a bit cheaper even. You like their Facebook page and you get an alert about the deal when it comes up.

I totally agree but I think even at $30 dollars is pretty steep for a broken game. Already at patch v1.2 and they still haven't fixed the melee bug and disappearing nano points.

What's up with dumbing down PC sequels lately? Mass effect, Dragon Age, this, and i don't know what else(i'm not a huge gamer), all have been dumbed down in some way.

i've had a few of the aliens get stuck in walls...
haha
but once that happens, it seems to screw up everything else.
the suit power will drain instantly, reloads sometimes don't work, switching weapons is 5x slower... and some other little weird crap.

it's all about money...
and there's more of it in consoles than pcs for game designers.
but they still have to put out 'something' to the pc...
lame.
for BF3 they are doing it right.
all development is being done on the pc, then it will be ported over...
as it should be. develop on the best platform (pc), then scale down when u port to lesser platforms (consoles). i know that comment can come off fanboi-ish, but its just how pcs and consoles work... consoles are working with 2-5yr old tech, it's not their fault.

that's exactly why I refuse to buy this game until it hits the 9.99 price point. Loved the first one (played for over 2 years) and was very dissapointed to see what they did with the sequel. Looks like i'll be playing bad company 2 until BF3 comes out.

Mine says status "NOT YET SHIPPED" and it won't be shipped until May 4th even though I have Student Prime.
anyone else?
