Crysis 2 PC edition OT

Wonder if MP textures will get an upgrade as well.

Looks like I might have to play through Crysis 2 one more time!
I liked it first time quite a lot :) Not as good as C1, but story and cinematics are well done.

Wonder how they'll solve this for Steam users. Maybe they'll just push the full update on everyone?
 
Good news, I'll probably pick this up once I have a DX11 GPU. Shame it wasn't like this at release though otherwise I'd probably already have that DX11 GPU!

Nice to hear they have improved the advanced graphics settings. Hopefully we'll get to actually change some settings ourselves now.
 
Unfortunately the patch disables kb/mouse and requires one use an X360 controller. :(
;)

That's ok. I've given that a go with the original Crysis already. It was all good until I had to shoot at anything and the lack of super auto lock on aim made troubles.

I might have to get myself a cheap boxed copy of C2 now that Steam dropped it.
