No sarcasm here, first time I've seen this in a game.
Was it in Duke Nukem?

I'm not sure if it was ever in a Duke Nukem game, but it is in Halo Reach.

What if you sent a hologram to chase a hologram,
so you can shoot the person who came out to shoot you in the back,
in the back.

You know... I'd be a lot more siked for this if they'd fix the whole "can't play the demo" thing. The login servers are not accepting anything and haven't since day one.

I had problems with the first demo. Lots of problems. The new one works fine, all though I still feel like something is slightly off.

@Platoesq He is floating, most games do that with all the characters. Its just easier and there is "less" clipping with edges and the ground.

@eat it I guess, but the original studios in charge of both games have left for something else.Did they kill each other? Or did COD kill Halo and then commit suicide?

Well i guess cod did take Halo's spot of being the biggest console fps, but Halo is still very much alive it gets like 100 to 200k players per night. I think its still the second biggest console shooter.

@Android500 if you don't know how to use the nanosuit properly, yes it plays like CoD...and you'd get owned. Otherwise it takes a lot more thinking and reaction. CoD is about spawn points, weapons/perks, and finally aiming.

@Kougeru Uh, even knowing how to use the Nanosuit perfectly it plays ALOT like CoD. It's just CoD with a little longer life expectancy.

If only the multiplayer for PC demo even worked. Stays on the login screen and the Crytek doesn't even bother to acknowledge the problem. What a waste of HDD space. Get the player excited with the intro yet no one gets to play. Im just angry. Not going to bother with it on my 360 or PS3.

Screw the login problems. The demo itself is a failure in my eyes. They've lost the Crysis feel, the game looks nowhere near as good as the original, and DX11 isn't even supported out of the box. They gave us PC gamers a console port when they promised us otherwise, especially after the PC is what allowed Crytek to succeed in the past.

They lost my pre-order.

Yeap, Very Much Agree.

Annoyance Order (In Time of Happening)

Boot Up Demo, "Press Start to Begin"....Check
Sees 360 Button, O Great >.>.....Check
Login Server Problems....Check
Custom Graphical Options, None At All......Check
Game Settings, Auto Aim Enabled.....Check (WHO USES AUTO-AIM!!)
Other Game Settings, None....Check
Tried Find Game, Servers won't Start....Check

Finally, get into game....

Overdose of Bloom...Check
Controls are Horrible....Check
Horrible FOV....Check
Low-Res Texs everywhere....Check
Tiny Maps....Check

I can go on and on, this game is going to be horrible.

I'm not buying a 360 port of a PC franchise. Whatever, its a console franchise now...Not Buying. Pre-Order CANCEL!

@xiLeShadow the demo itself is a port. they were gonna make it a 360-only demo. does not mean the game is a port. apparently you havnt played BC2 cuz the bloom in that game is FAR worse. aim-assist also does NOTHING on the pc version...its just left over text from porting the DEMO from 360 to PC. controls are customizable..... and almost every demo limits the graphical options. My only complaints with the game, are that there is no announced vehicle mp. Though pirates confirmed a map editor so I'm sure custom games will at least have vehicles. I hope all the whining and bad press will get this team removed from Crytek. They made timesplitters which was okay back in the day...then they made Haze which was terrible. I don't know why Crytek bought Free Radical but it was clearly a mistake. I enjoy the game for what it is, a sci-fi fps that actually requires quick thinking and good reactions rather than just memorizing spawn points or spamming kill spree bonuses. (Crysis ones arnt that game-changing and dont last very long). But Crysis 1 was it's own thing and if it had better support from EA it could've been amazing . It was ruined ONLY by the lack of US servers, and the high amount of cheaters. Crysis 2 seems like it will be a good game, but Free Radical pretty much spit on the name and smeared it around til something else came out. I really do hope Crytek gets rid of them...I don't care about Timesplitters 3 anymore.

@xiLeShadow "Boot Up Demo, "Press Start to Begin""

No no no no no no. Please tell me that's not true! I mean I know it's silly but to me that, THAT is what signals problems, I hate it in DA2 and if Crysis 2 has that when it comes out I might not even buy the game. Because if they left that over from the consoles then I can guarantee they've left other console shit in there as well.

This is just really terrible news. I hope it's just a demo thing.

I only pre-order if it's a game I know is going to be good (Super Mario Galaxy 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and soon to be Battlefield 3). Hopefully Joystiq and some other sites have their review up fast so I can buy it if necessary.

"Is that fair? Who cares."

My problem with the game already, may need to play the demo a bit more but to me it just feels like there are balancing issues all over the place - makes the game inconsistent IMO.

I believe, no matter how many customizations you throw in the game, there needs to be some kind of inherent balance. BFBC2 does a good job as does Halo: Reach and those are thoroughly successful games I enjoy.

Crysis, to me so far, feels tacky - like the designers had tons of ideas, and just threw them in without considering the long term effect it has on the gameplay.

But to each there own, I can't deny I've had some fun in the demo and a lot of the addition do sound like fun.

Crysis 2 is, in my opinion, more balanced than CoDs or Halos.
In CoD you just needed to see a red dot on the map, run, aim and fire to do OK. On Halo you do somewhat the same thing.
On Crysiss 2 though you'll really need to use some tactical thinking if you're willing to do well in any gamemode. It's all about finding the perfect moment for certain abilities and using them for your advantage. Your suit will change the flow of the whole battle if used better than anyone on the other team will.
It's almost as tactic based as World of Warcraft's PvP arenas.

Crytek, should not have made this game. They should have made a new timesplitters.
