Re: Crysis 3

As long as it doesn't say "cloak engaged" every single fricken' time I go invisible, I'll be interested. Silly or not, that literally ruined the last game for me.

At the very least give me an option to turn that off in the audio menu.

I could be wrong, but I doubt you'll see a next gen port of a game that supposedly releases 6 months prior to the next gen consoles.

Re: Crysis 3

Open multiplayer beta came out today for all three platforms for anybody interested. Played a couple games really quick before having to leave. I am really more interested in the SP, but I wanted to see the game running on consoles since we haven't seen any console footage yet. First impressions are the graphics are good, but not quite amazing even by console standards. To be fair though this is a beta made from an old build and the graphics are mostly likely toned down in multiplayer in comparison to the single player, to improve performance. Game does run very smooth.

I really enjoyed the couple games of crash site mode I played, love the verticality present in the two maps. Air Stomp is actually useful now. The couple of games of hunter mode on the other hand I didn't enjoy as much. I didn't dislike it, but the mode seems a little too unbalanced in the hunters favor, marines got slaughtered in about two minutes. I did only play a couple of games, so I will give it more a chance when I get home. I don't like the fact that Hunters have unlimited stealth that stays on all the time or that Hunters can respawn indefinately. Also a nitpick overall would be the new armor ability that automatically kicks in when players are shot, seems like it's aimed at people who don't know how to use armor mode properly.

As I said I normally don't like competitive multiplayer, but I may give the multiplayer a shot in this game provided the netcode is sigficantly better than Crysis 2. Crysis 2 MP was a lagfest about 50% of the time, apparently the game doesn't have dedicated servers so who knows whether the lag will less prevelant.

Re: Crysis 3

Just got home a little bit ago, and played a couple more games. Crash mode is still alot of fun, but Hunter mode flat out needs sigficant tweaking to be a viable mode. Hunter mode would be alot better if:

1.Hunters didn't have unlimited stealth that is automatically on
2.Hunters had a limited amount of lives
3. Hunters should have no radar or very limited radar. Defeats the purpose of "hunting" when the game tells you where the Cell are.
4.Rounds need to be longer

Unfortunately I doubt these changes are made since they are pretty significant. I was hoping this would be a more tactical/cerebral type of gametype when it was announced, but at the moment it basically just plays like infected mode in any other game.

To be honest I wish they would have released a single player demo instead, I don't think a two map MP beta showcases the gameplay and graphics as well as a single player demo would. I think people are going to get the wrong impression playing the beta, at least in the graphics department. Graphics definately should be better in the single-player retail version, the MP in Crysis 2 also looked sigficantty worse than the SP.

Re: Crysis 3

Just finished playing some games on both the PC and 360.

It's Crysis 2 all over again.... at least on 360. Terrible lag, hit detection and matchmaking. Host always dominates, everyone for the most part is on a one or two bar. Ridiculous.

PC is fine, when you find the right server. Even when you join a low ping server, your own ping in game is around 150.

I just don't understand.... might cancel my Origin PC pre order.

Haven't really noticed a huge amount of lag so far. Some here and there, but nothing gamebreaking. Hit Detection doesn't seem to be bad. Maybe I have just gotten lucky in the games I have played, in terms of the matchmaking.

I don't doubt it is a problem though, since Crysis 2 suffered from sigficant lag and the game doesn't have dedicated servers. Like I said in my previous posts my biggest problem so far is that the playing as a Cell in Hunter mode just isn't any fun whatsoever. Playing as the hunter also isn't very fun since the game gives you so many advantages.

Even if the MP doesn't turn out to well, I am still buying the game primarly for the single player campaign anyways.
