Heyyo,
So I've been playing me some Crysis 2 since it released yesterday... and I must say I'm impressed. Looks better, runs better and plays better than the last ones. All-around it is definitely a better shooter and multiplayer is a lot of fun albeit power struggle was awesome it suffered from cloaked snipers from across the map lol.
What's your guy's take?
Btw.. here's Crysis 2 running at 1680x1050 on my machine on "Extreme" graphics settings and I'm getting a full 60 frames per second!

Currently on the last level, pretty disappointed gameplay wise.
Levels are too linear. Movement is clunky; jumping is delayed, momentum doesnt carry into your jumps, sliding is silly, holding space to powerjump is inferior to Crysis1's doubletapping, air control is non-existent. The new limitations to strength mode (power melee/kick/throw depleting all energy) make it impractical to use in situations involving multiple enemies. The "Hold button to power kick" thing seriously needs to go. The way the levels are designed simply encourage players to stealth to a safe spot and fire from cover while armored. Gets pretty boring.
Overall, the controls are unintuitive and ill-adapted to keyboard/mouse.
The only thing i felt was an improvement over the original Crysis is the AI and how Cloak isnt an instant invulnerable mode.

I think console shooters suck balls.

Awful game, will not even torrent.
Edit: Actually, no, I'll torrent it to spite Crytek for being sellouts, but won't play it or even install it.

More like press start to start benchmark
Crysis 2's graphics are noticeably stripped down from Crysis and Crysis Warhead. The game doesn't even support DX10 or 11 yet.
