Not to mention, Steam achievements don't count for anything and chances are you are at Rank 50 already anyways, so points from earning the pin don't mean anything. It's a goddamn game, play it if it's fun.
That said, I need more footage. Now.

I grabbed some stills from the trailer:

Amazing. Crysis 2 is being hyped why, again? I think DICE has just shown Crytek how it's done, and we are basically guaranteed a better game from DICE than from Crytek.
My only criticism of the game so far is that the smoke column from the building in the last picture should be much bigger. As far as complaints go, that is paltry and downright frivolous.
Or it's because Crysis 2 is near release and companies tend to hype their games near release?Originally Posted by Warsaw
That and the fact that C2 is the first time the Cryengine has been on consoles since Farcry.
updated title and front page, woo
Honestly I'm not sure a GRITTYREALISTIC story will really appeal considering how done to death that is, but 1. who knows maybe DICE can actually do something novel and 2. I don't think a single person will be buying this for the campaign
I dunno. I bought all BF games that I own because of the MP, but I also kind of wanted to play BC2's campaign. I didn't find it all that interesting, but I want to see the direction of this realistic style campaign. COD4 is as close as we got to a realistic campaign for modern day. Of course, Ghost Recon is always set in the future, GRAW 1 felt very modern and not too futuristic which is why I liked that game and its sequel. However since those were elite troops with cross com and shit, I want to see a realistic modern shooter. I think DICE will give us that. To be honest, I'm not worried about MP. DICE makes superior MP games so I'm not thinking much about it rather than how awesome it's going to be. It's for that reason that I'm focusing more on SP right now.
I have never enjoyed a DICE single-player experience and that includes Mirror's Edge. I don't think that's where their talent or technology lies. Destructibility is great in a MP environment, but all it does is expose AI. Overpenetration, too.
And if they try to choke me out with atmospherics again, so that I can't see as far as the tips of my own diamond-hard nipples, so help me...
Crysis 2 has been hyped at the same intensity even before it was announced, all for no good reason; the first game was actually pretty lackluster apart from its visuals. I have yet to be honestly impressed by anything that it [the sequel] has displayed. Even Frostbite 1.5 has better destructibility than CE3 while maintaining environments that are at least as believable looking even if not technically superior. As for CryEngine on console, who cares? I remember most of you balking at them making it multi-platform, saying it would drag it down.Or it's because Crysis 2 is near release and companies tend to hype their games near release?

Then we get to actual gameplay, where DICE has the upper hand on all fronts. Crysis 2 multiplayer so far looks like Call of Duty with Armor Abilities instead of perks. That is not a good thing. In campaign, the AI is likely to be retarded easy to kill and we'll all probably only die for shit reasons like the enemy being able to take three magazines of cannon ammunition while we die in two hits from his fist nipples, while in armor mode no less. All DICE has to do to make their campaign fun is not constantly force us through bottlenecks with no cover like they did in BC2; BC1 was very enjoyable.

BC2 pisses me off in so many ways with various bugs that it's just obnoxious.Crysis 2 has been hyped at the same intensity even before it was announced, all for no good reason; the first game was actually pretty lackluster apart from its visuals.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, Crysis came at a time where corridor and linear shooters were still all the rage.
Halo 3? pretty linear you didn't really have much choice in where you were heading.
CoD 4? same again only in that you died after pistol rounds went through walls and clipped your ears.
I personally enjoyed Crysis a lot more for the gameplay than I did for the graphics.
The fact you could change your weapon load out on the fly as and when you needed/wanted I enjoyed very much, nothing like changing your rifle to a incendiary round and watching that guy at the turret fall out the outpost.

I've always liked the idea of Crysis on consoles because I know they would need to optimize the engine to a point and that would bring the performance of the PC version up.
I have a perfectly good sound card and yet for what ever reason, BC2 will only play voices if I'm looking at a 30* angle away from the person talking making cut scenes extremely annoying.
There is also the issue of the obvious "what you see is not how it is" in multiplayer.
I can empty a entire mag into a enemy and they will turn and shoot me after somehow teleporting behind me.
In no other game do I get such issues with multiplayer gameplay.
The sniper? I can get a perfect aim and the bullet will land between the guys eyes and he will turn and just plaster me with M60 rounds.
Why are we even mentioning Halo 3? In a thread about PC games? I've always been in the camp that dislikes all Halos except the first one. As for open gameplay, STALKER came out first, and I thought it had the better game play. It also allows you to change up your weapons on the fly. It's also a lot more involved in other respects.
As for those bugs you mentioned: never had a single one of them happen to me. The only bullshit I get is when I clearly knifed somebody and it didn't register or the inverse: I knifed the air and it registered.
All said, I'm already seeing more attention to detail in the Battlefield 3 than I have seen in Crysis 2. Graphics are not every thing, but the little things like lighting on even mundane objects like cartridges or on the thin rubber soles of your boots just make a game feel more polished.
