    Someone is getting sacked tomorrow, that's for sure. This is a disaster for Crytek. The online authentication more so then the early build of the game.

    To be honest I think it's more EA's fault than anything. I mean I do like how they support the community but they give out far too many advance review copies to anybody with a nothing blog. They're asking for it to happen.

    And one giant looking lawsuit. Gotta feel bad for them though after the high pirate numbers for the original game and now this.

    Probably the most advanced game developer doesn't deserve this sort of treatment. Imagine if Mario was leaked before it ever came out!

    Crytek may not be the kings of gameplay but by god the gap between there optimisation of hardware to get out raw graphic power compared to any other developer is beyond staggering.

    Can imagine Sony trying to get a good contract with them to do exclusive titles.

    omg this game looks crazy, an this is only dx 9 mid settings? about the leak well tbh its crytek's/ea's own fault for not having enough security as well as not posting a demo or video of the pc version (lesson to be learned here? dont piss off pc users).

    if the visuals are better than this as well as having a decent story and good gameplay il buy it

    From the way the hud is done on both sides, I'm thinking this will looks better in the 3D type monitor. And going by the last Crysis, which had a max spec of what you couldn't afford, I'd say it'll be so.

    Im interested in how it was leaked. I doubt Crytek passed out beta builds to people to try out, though if Crytek Employees themselves did, someone is fired.

    What a ****ty thing to happen, but on the other hand what ever happened to a PC Demo? Is this their crazy Viral Marketing campaign for the game? Definitely bad that it leaked the whole campaign. very bad.

    I feel obligated to buy it at launch retail now though and for me, thats very weird.

    The single player is not really playable.

    The opening levels and cut scene videos crash frequently.

    The sound is of very low quaility. Charactes voices are very low compared to music and sound effects. Placeholder textures and soundfiles are frequent. Certain scipting is broken. Cutscenes videos are also poor quaility.

    You can load up maps seperately though to get an idea of what its going be like.

    The beta does not contain DX10 or DX11 settings and there is 3 graphics settings (Gamer, Advanced, Hardcore)

    When it is ruining seem to run in the mid 30's frame rate wise. (Q8400 2.66Ghz, 4GB Ram, 6870)

    Looks very good on whatever settings I run it at.

    Will only try a little more of it. Just to get a sense of the scale of the levels comapred to the original. Don't want to ruin the story or the suprises when I get the full game.

    This is probably going to be a stupid question, but what specs would you need for this?

    I've installed this and wiped it after 20mins, its too poor quality for anyone to make a proper judgement but at least its made me decide I'm definitely buying it to support their effort for the pc.

    Wouldn't mind seeing some low/med/high/max comparison screenshots if anyone has them...

    What im hoping about Crysis 2 is that the console versions forced them to come up with clever/efficient ways to make it look good on med/lower end systems.

    well crysis was pirated like mad so you would have expected crytek to keep this game tightly under wraps 49 days early isnt keeping it under wraps, now every single dev on the planet will point at this and go meh whats the point of pc game development it will just get pirated :mad:
