anyone playing it folks ?

Im liking it so far

qbhod

It seems decent enough yea, kinda similar to COD which i'm not sure is a good or bad thing. Expected the graphics to be a bit more impressive but it is an older version of the game and i hear the visuals are toned down in MP compared to the campaign

I am disappointed of no dedicated servers, will gaming companies never learn?

Also hopefully they'll sort the hosting out, for some reason it keeps picking me and my connection isnt good enough to be host

Not while consumers keep buying the product and them saving millions of euro on DC costs etc.

Nope

Im loving it. Graphics are outstanding and im getting zero lag compared to gears or cod So many choices on how to get places also. And yes the graphics are dumbed down compared to what the single player will have

Downloading as we speak, can't wait to give it a bash

I had a quick blast and thought it was pretty cool.
I felt it was a little sluggish though control wise. Weapons were a bit poor too.But enjoyed the level design and cloak features.

how cool is the hologram, never seen anything like that in a multiplayer, just pure awesome

I sent my body double in the enemies area and they were all busy trying to kill him while I pick them off

it's such a unique idea

wow

I was referring to myself

I never played those games

Think the game looks fantastic, only complaint is the quality of the guns but not really to annoyed about it. Can't wait to play the campaign now!

HxGH

I have to get my hands on this. Saw a few previews and it looks great.

So far the only major complaint is the easy melee kills.

CORaven

Is it just me or is the lag really bad? The kills cams seems to fail to explain how I died.

ntlbell

I don't think it's laggy I think the game is just slow and clunky in general, I didn't enjoy it at all.

jamescd

I really enjoyed it. Already reached the level cap of 10 in one go yesterday because I couldn't stop playing it

Agree with the easy melee kills as well

Let the developers know what you think:

Yeah the controls feel like theres a little bit of a delay when moving hopefully it will be fixed.

Had problems getting into a match. It kept freezing when I was joining a game. Eventually got in. I got 1 kill and died about 6 times still had fun though. It looks good. Did not get a chance to have a good play through last night so going to try it again tonight.

I have to say I played the Bulletstorm demo and preferred Bulletstorm over this. I didn't like the visuals at all!!

So won't be buying it!

Screaming Monkey

played it last night for hours, totally hooked...

There is lag all over the place though, frequently emptied full clips into people and they would die 2-3 seconds later at a different point, it is a bit clunky when shooting/moving, hopefully they can sort that out.

The "cloaking" feature is great fun especially when you catch people with it like something out of a "predator" movie.

To be fair you said "its such an unique idea" which implies that its never been done before.

Played it lastnight and thought it was great, will be giving it another lash later too. Must get around to finishing the first one actually. Also, saw on twitter that the crytek dudes will be online this saturday if you wanna play against them or complain! http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/blog/game-with-devs
