i enjoy far cry 2 and agree there but crysis wars is a great experience considered the epic battles for proto’s and some very enjoyable freefalls after being shot down by the damn vtol’s :), its a decent game just try it

On the other hand, Far Cry 2 multiplayer is somewhat enjoyable, which I wasn’t expecting.

I have now played Crysis Wars, and I can report that it is identical to normal Crysis multiplayer. And it is still impressively awful.

Just for clarification, this is the multiplayer portion of Warhead, which on most accounts is preferable to the multiplayer portion of the original Crysis.

You know, I got a bit of fun out of crysis multiplayer. Strength was pretty much one-hit-kill, and sneaking up to/killing someone with the patience to earn the handheld nuke was somewhat enojyable.

Then, for whatever reason, every server I played on became infested with cheaters bouncing around the map with rapid fire nukes.

Im assuming that has’nt carried over to this latest iteration.

As much as I love the single-player game, the multiplayer portion irks me, mainly because I have an annoying tendency to get killed before I even have a chance to shoot back at my opponents. Also, the suit is severely nerfed online. Melee attacks are useless – unlike other FPSes, they do not kill in 1-2 hits, which is baffling considering the existence of Strength Mode and how incredibly difficult it is to actually get in range. Speed mode has been slowed down to a somewhat-faster-than-Call-of-Duty sprint, and armor mode is… why bother? Maybe it lets you take one or two more bullets, but in my experience you’re better off going with Strength for the controlled recoil (and frankly, if you’re not already shooting at your opponent by the time they’re shooting at you, you’re already dead).

Only cloak mode is better online, due to the ability to fire without uncloaking and losing all your energy, which makes it quite possibly the most annoying mode to fight against, ever. I don’t get why they did this, because it makes it clearly superior to all the other modes. Sigh. Oh, well. Guess it’s just not for me.

@roBurky: Exact same thing with me. Did you also hate that EA Download Manager wants to install as well?

@Heliocentric: That’s what makes the single-player enjoyable. Your super, but not invincible. So you can take on hordes of normals, but you have to use your head. When everyone is super, nobody is, and its lame. That’s why the Hidden HL2 mod works. You either feel good for killing a team or normals, or you feel good for taking out a super.

Crysis and Crysis Wars are amazingly awesome games. Due to the fact that Crysis mostly runs at sub 30 fps on most computers it makes for a terrible multiplayer game, however.

It’s too bad. Maybe in a few years. :p

Teamwork would be an amazing thing to see in the game the non teamworking side would get dominated.

I own this, but never even installed it. I tried the original Crysis multiplayer, and that was pretty awful.

Oh. And here i got my hopes up that they wear going to pull a FEAR Combat and let people play the multiplayer for free without owning Crysis.

I guess you got a major problem as a developer, if people aren’t even interested in trying the FREE weekend.

But, of course, it’s all the pirates’ fault. Why? Because it is!
