Crysis plays a lot like a guy with mono.

Something a little slower paced and more deliberate may have suited the game better.

1. Yep, Swat 4 is great. Of course they mantain ther playerbase by the lack of competition. How many multiplayer games play like Swat 4? Not a lot. So if you like that style, you have to play it in this game.

2. I played the MP beta of Crysis, i remember how it wasn’t very good, and i am speaking about the overall design, the flow of the matches didn’t feel right. And let’s not speak about the balance.

3. Also, i heard that they didn’t release essential stuff like Linux version of the dedicated servers. :/

4. More interesting, i have to ask. Why the MP of Crysis plays like it plays, so different than the style and pace that people loves in the single player section?.

I think they should divorce more of the traditional multiplayer style of shooters where you respawn and go running, using vehicles, capturing points, dying and respawning again, and make something more close to the “real” Crysis, the single player experience. Not cooperative campaing, still a real multiplayer game, but with another style. Something slower, where you can sneak in the grass, observe the enemy base with the binoculars, try to approach with a friend and get the objetive, etc. And no, you can’t use that deliberate pace in the actual multiplayer game of Crysis, not if you don’t want to lose, as the enemy will go running and capturing every resource point and blowing up your base from far away.

That’s great though – SWAT 4’s MP is splendid.

Crysis senior game designer Bernd Diemer has said that co-operative and zero gravity multiplayer modes will have to be added by the modding community – using the Sandbox editor provided.

Crytek would loved to have added the content itself, he told Eurogamer.de in an interview, but it just didn’t have time.

So instead of putting in the one feature that would make this game truly incredible this time around they’re… developing the multiplayer mode that nobody really plays and is done better in a half dozen other franchises.

Instead they stated that the “community” ought to do it.

I’ve been a supporter of this game for a long time, I think it’s brilliant, but if this is the way they’re going, I just can’t help but feel they’ve been far too stupid by half.

The lack of co-op was a huge disappointment. Them saying that they could have made it but wanted to focus on the other warfare mode instead just… makes NO sense to me at all.

P.S. Thanks for not linking 1up video :)

I’m so fed up with saving the world by my lonesome.

Which is a pitty. Co-operatively working to assault a base from different angles, setting up opportunities and feints for each other and providing support for each other probably would have been amazing.

Always thought it would have been cool to sneak through the jungle with one or more friends, and ambush a bunch of enemies. One of us could provide a distraction, while the rest attacks.

Could have been good for the modding community too this.

TF2 sucks ass. Can’t wait for more Crysis.

You are the anti-christ.
