After struggling to get online all morning, finally got on and discovered that Crysis 2 doesn't play nice with usb headsets... so not to pleased with Cryteks rollout of the demo.
Other than that though, its fun enough. Alot like COD4 with the nanosuit twist, which is good enough and if the rpg elements are deep, I might spend more time with the multiplayer than I originally planned. And the game itself looks awesome, better than the original by a decent margin, and it runs better as well on my 480. Is this how I expected Crysis 2 to look when I played Crysis back in 07? No, but judged on its own merits it still looks great. And to be fair, dx11 hasn't been released yet, so we might still see another leap in visuals. Ive heard theories that theyre keep the "Ultra" mode under wraps until the game releases so console gamers don't get upset about the comparison, don't know if its true or not, but regardless its a fun game and Crytek has earned my money.
Edit- Just tried out the game on the low gamer settings, still looks very good, and supposedly will run at 40+fps @ 1680*1050 on an 8800GT!!! Thats impressive optimization, really anyone with a GTX260 or above is going to be able to run this very well. But I keep getting kicked out of games, which is pissing me off.
