Yes, its still a bug.
And when I said they compromised the game, I meant about the graphics(No bump maps, and parallax occlusion, because of which the textures appear flat, best example can be the tiny stone, compare them from both the games and see it for yourself.), physics(epic dumb down!..Let me tell you something, go back to crysis 1, throw a grenade around some trees, and see what happens within the blast radius. I wont tell you what happens, look at itfor yourself, it adds a hell lot of immersion into the game. Try the same thing in Crysis 2..meh!..nothing happens!)
