Why Dying In Crysis 2 Is Okay Compared To Black Ops

While I have had the game for less than even 24 hours now I can already tell you this. When you die fighting in a multiplayer match on Crysis 2 it really is not frustrating at all. Take a step back and think about what happens when you die in a multiplayer match in Black Ops. Controllers go flying, tv’s break, all hell breaks loose.

Prophet we have been compromised!

Look like some one had problems parking their boat.

Way to go....you Muppet.

Whew. When I first saw this title, I thought it was a spoiler. I'm not finished with the game, yet! Glad it's talking about MP.

I enjoyed the MP when I got into a game. I hope they fix the PC servers soon.

Call of Duty multiplayer has the worst hit detection in video game history.

[Downtown boogey]

It might have the best.

[news4geeks]

a joke? It's common knowledge that in killcam you see the gun is not even aimed at the individual and still he drops dead. The game is infamous for it. It can't be blamed on bad connection because it happens to everyone. Maybe CoD gamers haven't played other games to help understand the concept.

news4geeks: Have you played any other multiplayer game online? If you haven't then your comment would make more sense

While playing Crysis 2 online, just like the singlepayer, you need to use tactics. You have to practise your tactics to be a good player and combining the Nanosuits powers to do good online.

In Call Of Duty: Black Ops it is just shooting and the person with the sweet spot wins the match.

Just like the singleplayer from Crysis 2 you need to have a plan ready to encouter the A.I., it is that good. When you are reloading they will flank you, Call Of Duty: Black Ops does it the other way around.
Just blast in and shoot, no tactics required. When you die you are stupid and throw your controller because you already know the A.I. is shit.

The frustration level is higher in Call Of Duty: Black Ops because you know the person in the sweet spot is untouchable(for the most part of the match). Crysis 2 is more thinking instead of blasting your way through.

I love that kind of gameplay, just like G.R.A.W.

WTF is 'sweet spot' in gaming? Seems to me the person with better connection in Black Ops usually wins the shootout.

[Maxie1992]

Well, how good you even are at shooters, in the Call Of Duty series it is not difficult to control the whole game when you are camping due to the killstreaks.

That is the sweet spot.

(I know Crysis 2 has killstreaks to, but those are not changing the outcome of the battle...kugh Heuy Chopper)

[TheFreak]

Use a rocket launcher ffs. Many times I shoot down helicopters in black ops before they even get to shoot once. Strela 3 ever heard of it?

[jjohan35]

WTF does camping have to do with 'sweet spot?' You mean the camping location is the sweet spot?

[HeavenlySnipes]

I found that the easy way to dominate was to linger around in abandoned areas invisible until you an find out where the other team is respawning, disable invisibility and recharge energy, go their and kill people from behind while enabling armor mode so their bullets don't do much damage. Rinse and repeat.

No matter how much people try to act like this game is tactical, to me it still felt like COD with nanosuit abilities.

[Maxie1992]

Could be, maybe I am not that good.
But I would not jump to cunclusions already, the PC version has many problems online so I did not play much matches.

But from the looks of it, this game will not be played by a big number of people because Call Of Duty is more accessible.

Believe me, after two months people who play online will quit because it is not "Call Of Duty" like in the online segment.

Just my thoughts.

(this was the same when G.R.A.W. launched, many people the first month, after that many switched back to Call Of Duty 2)

[gypsygib]

I've point blank shotgunned a guy twice in Crysis 2 only to have him turn around and kill me with 2 bullets so I don't know what the author is talking about.

[HeavenlySnipes]

the hit detection in Crysis 2 was also pretty bad. The killcam shows the exact opposite of what happens on your screen, similar to COD black shit.

[BX81]

I see a huge problem with the head shots in Crysis 2!

[Kran]

Crysis 2 is tactics. Black Ops is just DIE DIE DIE DIE

[Oldman100]

Would be awesome if there was move support. It would be great to pull an actual trigger to shoot.

[gypsygib]

I totally agree, FPS games feel like they're lacking something after playing KZ3 with Move, it's just so much more accurate and fast.

That being said, I bought the 360 version, so if they implemented Move support I would have to trade it in for the PS3 version.

[Maxie1992]

Too bad that the whole Call Of Duty community is not like you. Then the game would be bearable.

As far as I am concerned I "ffs" use the Strela often, but when a Huey is used good it is pretty hard.

It is the community which is build up from the ground with 12 year olds.

[SockMaster]

Every AA/AAA FPS needs dedicated servers, otherwise you usually get horrible hit detection, like Blops...Alot of good players on P2P games have great internet and just have average skill

[MeNoRasta]

I be the invisible one sitting in the corner for once and when you walk past me only to see the killcam then tell me you wont get mad -_-

But i let it slide mostly because crysis2 is truly a amazing game.

[YodaCracker]

You have got to be kidding me! My experience with Crysis 2 multiplayer has been pretty terrible so far. More then half of the games I'm in have one guy with four bars, and everyone else with 1 red bar. The lag is unbelievable sometimes. One time I went 20-6. What a surprise, I had four bars in that game. The next game I started going negative and it seemed that no matter how much I shot someone they still killed me first. I check and what a surprise, one bar!

One game the lag was so bad that everything seemed to be delayed by 3 seconds. I stood there watching a guy melee the air 10 feet away from me. I died. the killcam showed me standing there where the guy was gunbutting. I could still get kills just fine, but it wasn't any fun. I know every guy I killed didn't shoot back at me because they weren't really where the game showed me they were anymore.

It's way too inconsistent to be all that enjoyable. I have never seen lag like this in any other game. And it's certainly not my connection.
