Crysis 2 PC Demo [Download link]

I find the entertaining part of this being some of the weapons and, more importantly, the abilities of the Nanosuit. My best experience so far was having a guy on a static machinegun right beneath me tearing my teammates apart, so I jumped off the side, did a 180, pressed C which sent me into a power stomp, and landing right on top of him. Then I was free to detach said machinegun and go on a rampage against his team instead, with the aid of the cloak and armor modes. It was certainly fun.

Isn't pinball a game us old farts used to play?

Can't remember.....memory fading...

Nuthin' wrong with pinball imo. I could live without Crysis2 though. The jungle and the sandbox approach made it somewhat special and entertaining. Somehow choosing NY as the new environment pretty much screwed all that. No point hiding behind small 'oneway' signs and garbage bags imo. :P

In MP perhaps, judging solely from the demo, but through watching the footage of the leaked beta single player campaign I'm pretty sure it's still full of the open sandbox segments, just inside NYC instead of some random fictional island.

I honestly have no idea why he's using a Xbox 360 controller, but c'est la vie...

I'm really looking forward this. We could play the MP demo together. And by the way: does cloak really hide you well? Because in Crysis 1, when you had to kill the koreans with the nanosuit clone, the cloaking made them almost absolutely invisible, not the kind if invisibility where the edges are distorted.

[Zipper5]

There's a module you can apply to your suit that makes you almost entirely invisible, but still not fully. If you don't have it, it hides you as well as it did in Crysis' multiplayer (i.e. okay from a distance, but you're screwed when really up close).

Also, here are some gameplay videos I recorded:

Nice vids Zipper5
Played it for like 10 - 15 minutes last night. Not sure what to think of it yet but looking at that leaked SP video I think again I will go for the SP only and than drop the game. But you never know, maybe I need to play some more MP demo.

No offense there Zipper but the game looks horrible. Seriously, why is Meth illegal but kids can get twitchy speedouts with this stuff.

I personally quite like how it looks, though I am not expecting anyone here to like it as well. The general rule of thumb is that anyone disinterested in the mainstream video game market doesn't like bloom nor motion blur, even in the slightest cases of either.
