Fired this back up a bit. Reason for comment is, remember how I complained about weird, subtle "snow static" type effect in certain skies and area of the game? That became pretty annoying? Well when I booted it I was prompted for an update (of course pretty normal for games to do that) but this time when I played "Unsafe Haven", everything seemed crystal clear, no snow around the lights.
Just wondering if it was possibly a bug on certain system and the update actually fixed it? Dunno. I should check out the skies though, in certain levels it used to show up there.
Still amazed at the graphics. The blue laser bomb thingies and smoke trails in Haven are sublime. I feel sorry for teams trying to top this this gen, going to take a huge team/budget, and probably for only 5-10% better is possible anyway. The AA solution at least on Unsafe, works quite well too I noticed, not really problematic aliasing, though I'm sure its worse in daylight. I think I noticed the bad framerate in a battle though, which I didnt really the first time around, I'm not sensitive to framerate.
I'm still disappointed the game makes it so difficult to replay random sections. For such a solid, and huge spectacle of a game, I feel like it's just not set up to be easy to replay different sections and such.
There should be more replay imo, I look at Mortal Kombat, and so many games now pack in insane amounts of content. Where MK has Ladder, Tag Ladder, Training, Test Your X, Story Mode, challenge mode, so many games now give you so many ways to have replay value, Crysis 2 should have done more than just throwing in standard multiplayer.
