The Crysis 2 PC Multiplayer demo is here and it's time for some HD gameplay. You can also check out some HD screens from the demo after the jump.

The fps look really nice is this 60fps on consoles?

[mistajeff]

i remember yerli saying in an interview that it was a solid 30 on both consoles

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

thanks!

[evrfighter]

it looks like cod on the crytek engine

so innovative -_-

[RBLAZE1988]

@ evrfighter it's not really...I just played and it feels a lot more tactical even on team deathmatch since you have the stealth and suit gameplay to work with plus being able to slide.

I am surprised that I can run this on a P4 2.4 ghz processor with Hyper Threading, a 2600XT AGP 256mb videocard and 2 gigs of memory. I got it running decent at 800x600 resolution. Still looked pretty awesome even at those minimal levels.

[Pandamobile]

It's a lot like the more classic Call of Duty games, which is good.

Take everything that was good about COD4 (fast paced gameplay, balance, etc), throw it the most advanced graphics engine available today, throw in a sliver of Mirror's Edge, and a dash of Nano-suits and you've got an awfully fun game.

[Fred-G-Sanford]

I would love to be playing this right now, but I have been unable to sign in since I downloaded the demo (over 3 hours ago). :/

It's like putting a Christmas present in front of somebody and then making them stare at it for over 3 hours before they can unwrap it. lol

Seriously, WTF?

[Megaton]

I'm in the same boat as Sanford. It won't even let me create an account. Should just be able to use my damn EA account, which I already don't like having. Hate having to make a f*cking new account somewhere just to play a game, or in this case, a demo.

[starchild]

I was mostly looking forward to the single player portion of the game, but I am really surprised how much I like the multi-player. Something about it just really clicks with me. The nano suit really does add some interesting new tactics into the mix and I love the freedom of movement it gives you. On top of all that it looks amazing and runs really good on my set up.

[taco_tom237]

is the 360 demo out yet?

[awiseman]

Yes its live Im dling again and it has pier 17

[Andreas-Sword]

wow! Crysis 2 looks great :)
best graphics! and best Gameplay!

[mistajeff]

I was hoping they were going to include the dx11 renderer in this demo, but oh well, it's nice knowing first-hand that I can run this really well on the high dx9 settings. I'm guessing that when they ship the game with individual, detailed graphics settings that the highest possible dx9 settings will look even better than that. At least I can always revert back to that when that dx11 tessellation starts tearing my gpu a new @$$hole.

does anyone know if they're using any other dx11 features for this, like radiosity, or other big fancy words?

[the worst]

looks like an average FPS
this is what PC gamer are talking about
LOL
OVERRATED

@RBLAZE1988 everything is better that campers on duty
there nothing amazing . wheres the mind blowing graphic at

crytek engine average

[RBLAZE1988]

Idk I think it's gonna be awesome. Let us know when you see an fps game come out that doesn't look generic and overrated. I def think it's better than call of duty

[Pixelated_Army]

@theworst

totally agree with you man and after seeing what all these FPS have to offer I'm a lot more appreciative of what Killzone 3 and what it has brought to the table.

[PandaJenkins]

There's a reason I loved Shadowrun. One of the most unique and least generic FPS games this gen and somehow everyone hated what was such a good game. Most fps games are entirely generic though, or at least most of the popular ones. Funny, isn't it?

[Thrillhouse]

People hated it because it had no singeplayer and it wasn't very accessible.

Shadowrun mops the floor with other console shooters this gen in the terms of sheer competitive aspect. Such a difficult and well balanced game. From what I played, I absolutely loved it . . . my friends didn't :(

[PandaJenkins]

That is definitely true. I have like one friend who also loved it. It became very hard to find games thanks to the matchaming being ONLY regional. So while there is still groups who play it, I live in NZ and must rely on only NZ/AUS players which is horrible. The reason why I don't play it... cause I can't :(.

I just can't believe how much variety that game had, but it was also so well balanced and came entirely down to skill. It makes me sad when something like that isn't appreciated.

[PrimordialSoupBase]

Yes. Because you can tell how many frames per second it's running at from a youtube video.

[Longsama]

lol

[im-12-years-old]

Your trolling is mediocre at best.

[the worst]

im not trolling
the truth hurts

[RBLAZE1988]

go back to counter strike or whatever multiplayer you think is mind blowing. They're not gonna be able to blow our minds with every game that is released but I think they're gonna do enough things with Crysis 2 to make it have legs and gain popularity among the community. Oh and the graphics is based on the guys pc and they don't have the DX 11 shaders in the pc demo so take a chill pill for now.

[xCaptainAmazing]

It's earlier on, but so far this has it for me. And yes, I'm even a PS3 user who isn't a raging fanboy, so eat that.

[starchild]

Your comment couldn't be further off base. The engine is easily the most advanced engine ever seen. And the gameplay is hardly generic. It is difficult to radically innovate in the FPS genre, but this game feels fresher than most FPS that I have played.

[floetry101]

I get the feeling that a lot of people want this game to drown.

Too bad it's actually great.

[xCaptainAmazing]

I know right? It's definitely awesome and anyone saying otherwise hasn't played it at all and is in extreme denial. I was fortunate enough to play the earlier 360 beta/demo and it was awesome, just needed some ironing out. If the console versions play like this PC build, I will be extremely happy.

I know Crysis has had a name for graphics, but at this point I couldn't honestly give two shits about what it looks like. It plays AMAZING.

[Shackdaddy836]

Trolls will be trolls :)

Trick is to know when a few people are just repeating themselves in different posts or when a mass group is saying the game sucks.

[HelghastDrake]

Eh.. Looks and runs better on PS3.

[REALgamer]

Ummm...you're saying that despite the PC version of the game running at a higher resolution, DirectX 11 and twice the framerate, the PS3 version is better?

It looks great on all platforms, but aare to explain how the PS3 version looks and runs better than PC?

[PandaJenkins]

He's just a troll. Don't bother.

[D3athc3ll]

lol @ helghastdrake

the pc version does look better, just looking at the vid now!

Console versions will still be good though! I just hope they keep the controls based on other fps (call of duty) style!

cant wait to see singleplayer on pc with dx 11 shaders!

[taco_tom237]

are you high?

[Shackdaddy836]

I think he was joking...

No one can be that dumb...

[Close_Second]

Looks fantastic. No jaggies, solid framerate, good lobby system. Why the hell do I keep console gaming when the PC gets so many more things right.

[Sarcasm]

Because there are still some good console-only games...?

Heck, if 100% of everything available on consoles is also available on the PC, I'd sell my 360, PS3, and Wii in a heart beat and probably end up buying a high end gaming Laptop. Sadly that's not the case my friend.

But I am pretty happy that Crysis 2 runs buttery smooth. (Finally a properly coded PC game, imagine that!)

[Longsama]

I know this a weird thing to say but this game sounds beautiful. The sound design guy really knew what he was doin. On top of that though the game is pure eye candy(graphics and level design wise)......and now that i'm thinking about this maybe the only online first person online to allow us to swim. I know most people won't think about it, but that could have a major effect on tactics.

[snaileri]

Crysis 1 looks better.

[josephayal]

MEH!!! MEHH AND MEHH!

[SnakeMustDie]

Can anyone share their Crysis 2 Demo account? I've been trying to register one for almost an hour and still no luck.

[earbus]

[SJPFTW]
