Crysis 2 PC edition OT

I had that issue. The one that surprised me the most was when I was body slammed by an alien into a water logged area and I was literally swimming beneath the level itself unable to break the surface.

 

This is easily the most 'what the hell were they thinking' situation I've come across yet. I just kept thinking "man there's a ton of guys on this small little level somewhere". Only after I went through two machine gun placements worth of ammo (and many deaths before that, thinking I should kill everyone before I preceded) did I finally realize what was happening.

Also, the console commands not working in game is really annoying...

 

I present you with a list of 3,000 Crysis 2 console commands:

So now what do I do with em'.

 

Most of them aren't rightly "console commands" as long as Crytek keeps the console functionally restricted, but you can plug them into an autoexec.cfg to see what they do.

 

I know this is probably silly to ask, but can anybody give me their best guess as to why Crytek did all this?

Restricting console commands? DX9 only? No Sandbox 3? Only 3 graphical presets?

Was it really due to the consoles? Did they think that they wouldn't get caught?

 

Part of the reason may lie in the fact that this is the year of several major game releases. Crytek simply rushed the production (once again) and left the unfinished details as a later additions/patches, and thus cashing on the hype earlier, before any "distractions" would come over.

 

Restricting Console Commands: Because 99% of the end users don't need them.
Only DX9: Because the primiary platform was the Xbox360.
No Sandbox 3: Because Cryteck already announced during GDC that a Free SDK is going to be released this summer.
Only 3 graphical settings: Because 99% of the end users don't need more than that.

 

The store/small building in the middle is reflected properly as you strafe...

 

I'm actually using your config mate' =)

still running at over 60fps too! Looks great!


Btw any luck on aim assist???


I guess technically it doesn't much matter at this point though, in my despair I went ahead and bought a Razer Nostromo that should be arriving the next few days..

Friggin hate keyboards.

Edit: whoops, I didn't see your latest one. It comes with idiot friendly instructions?

 

I'll give you guys a review in this thread once I get a hold of it. My impressions and whatnot.

 

That's the police station, and it seems it's only the door frame giving a proper "reflection", and only until you bust out the lights illuminating it. that is what I was referring to as specular highlighting, and the same can be seen on the traffic pylon on the left as well as the standing light on the right. Anyway, the scene would have looked better if they just stuck with that and left out the crappy cubemaps.

 

What are you looking for in regard to aim assist? The option is there in the controller settings.

 

Nebula, I multiplied all the corpse settings by 10x and it's a lot more fun playing the game when the dead aliens just keep piling up Do you know if there is a setting to keep the ragdolls enabled even after death? My biggest problem with Crysis 2 isn't the graphics...it's the dumbed down interactivity.......


g_corpseUnseenTime=3000 //Time in seconds that the player has to look away from the corpse before it disappears.
g_corpseManager_maxNum=200 // Limit for number of corpses active at any time.
g_corpseMinDistance=2000 //Distance in meters that the player has to be away from the ragdoll before it can disappear.
g_corpseMinTime=3000 //Minimum time in seconds that a corpse will be visible.

 

Yeah, a friend of mine who has been playing the game on his 360 dropped by last night, so I fired up the first game and he was so awestruck by the physics interactions that twice he commented "it doesn't have anything like that on my version." So I had to remind him twice that we were playing the old game, while Crysis 2 has far less physics interactions on the PC version too.

 

They removed it from the MP for controllers to stifle the whining from PC users.

They kept it for the SP. So now if you use a gamepad of any sort in the MP, you get demolished.

 

For some reason they seem to be using both, a regular cubemap (that causes the problematic reflections) and proper (though blurry) realtime reflections for the wet surfaces.

 

Tis sad.......but the focused gameplay on C2 is very fun.

I bet someone will soon recreate some of the Crysis 2 levels in Sandbox 2, and we will all cry foul even more at Crytek lol.
