Back to school!!
A bit, its called over bleeding, but its actually an effect, crysis 1 had that too, looks good(like mass effect 2, only more realistic).

Jesus Christ!!!! Dude you really should calm down..i wonder if u have any idea what you're talking! lol...
"shadows of the trees" epic lolzzzz
Its a city dude, you wont find islands, sand etc..there were trees with shadows btw
on the serious note, its a multiplatform now, few changes were neccessary and I think they did a pretty good job with what they could..just have fun with what they provided..and btw, the SDK is already released so just wait for the mods to arrive.
PS - And oh please, ditch that "I ll call a game awesome only on the first day or the first two weeks" idea of yours..makes me laugh out of my a$$..
I liked it for some reason..though its a little difficult to look at things in the dark, looks more realistic.

If you think about it, Crytek was caught between the devil and the deep sea. PC gamers are a fickle lot. We complained when Crysis 1 came out (ugh! needs a super computer to play! Can it play Crysis Bro?) and then trashed Crytek when Crysis 2 could run on 3 year old computers fluidly.
The same happens when a gaming company decides to go in a new art direction for the sequel. If you don't do something new, gamers will trash it for offering the same. ("Assasin's Creed Brotherhood is just a glorified DLC for ACII!" "COD is stuck in a loop. Meh!", "Halo is boring!"). But when you do something new, then you get trashed as well.
Crytek tried to shift from vast open jungle warfare, to tight, narrow urban warfare. They tried something different and it didn't work out that well. But to trash C2 as a useless FPS boggles my mind. There are far worse games out there tbh..
And I still maintain, if Crytek hadn't told us that the launch version of C2 was DX9, most of the critics would have ooh and aahed over the graphics. Fact is, 90% of us have no idea of what the differences are between DX 9/10/11, apart from DOF and Tessellation.
And Crysis has always been more about graphics than gameplay, just like ID games, which are engine tech demos, more than anything else.
Just my opinion and I admit I could be wrong on everything
Also, if you're a PC gamer, bugs are a way of life. Remember the bugs that Bethesda games come out with? (I remember what Fallout 3 and Oblivion were like, in the first month). Or the STALKER series? It's impossible to launch a PC game that will work on every single configuration out there, due to the sheer number of combinations that could be screwed. Also, many a time, people who scream and shout about bugs are people who don't run legit copies of the game. you can always find those people on game support forums, lol
And about Linear vs open world, well, if linearity was so bad, then Modern Warfare would never have been the most successful game in history. or Halo for that matter. I don't mind a linear path, as long as it is spectacular and makes me feel like a hero. Fun is more important than cleverness.

You have no idea what you are talking about. No doubt your post doesn't make any sense.
You are saying we shouldn't believe guru3d and tomshardware and instead believe you?
What i thought about the game was right. Because i have seen it and now guru3d and tomshardware guys are saying the same thing.
The water effects in the game are like no other purely because of tesselation.
Its 100% proved that you haven't seen the game in its full glory and heck you haven't even played it totally. Those who have played the game, will never post such comments.

^Agreed!
Agreed. But that doesn't necessarily make a bad game good. Please understand, everybody has sky-high expectations from Crysis 2, it scales high, just failed to reach the summit. In the end, it mattered for gamers who have upgraded just for this one game.
One difference is there, it looks better in DX11.
Forget about dx11, why the high res tex pack have been released separately? It makes more difference than DX11, and if Crytek was not ready for the PC version they should have delayed it for a couple of months.Fact is Crysis and Warhead were PC exclusives and not buggy like this. And you are playing straight into the hands of pirates, why pay for bugs?

I am having the same save-load game problem. Lots of people have cured it with a illegit crack. I am still out of luck.

Gameranand's equations are completely wrong. There are no problem in AI if played in delta mode. All the issues are fixed now.

In the end it comes to this:
- Graphics, can it overweigh a bad story?
(my ans - no)

The game was never bad to start with. How can you say its bad? Can you justify?
One difference is there, it looks better in DX11.
That's because the game was leaked early. So crytek had to release an unfinished product. In short- PIRACY.
Its not buggy anymore. Everything is fixed.
I am having the same save-load game problem. Lots of people have cured it with a illegit crack. I am still out of luck.
Like i said, try reinstalling the game and apply patches again. If possible, revert back to previous drivers.
There's no pirate crack to fix bugs. Its working fine with all legit copies without any cracks. Trouble is in your system just like those pathetic hardocp guys.
If you're saying AI is bad, then you are not worthy enough to play in higher difficulty settings. If you don't like it don't care to play it. Why bother?

Well, let's wait for Crytek to come out with a bugfix. If it's a problem that many legit users are facing, there's no way they can ignore them. Have some faith in them to get things working again.
But if the gameplay turned you off the first time, no amount of tweaks and patches are going to convince you otherwise. Reminds me of the situation with the prince of persia relaunch they did, and a lot of old timers refused to play a game where you couldn't die

Its a problem faced by so many users, and I dare to think they are all using a pirated copy. And comparisons with the previous game is always inevitable. If so many gamers are pissed off, who were fans earlier and waited for this game ever since it was announced, then something must be wrong somewhere.
Check this:-

And this :-

And continue till the end of the thread.
Some excerpts:-
And there's many more with reference to the crack which I don't want to post here. One user deleted the texture pack and it cures the problem. But then, you are back with the old graphics.
Anyway will try in the evening what's possible. Its giving problem on a fresh Win7 install whereas others games are working fine, whereas previously on the old patch and on an older installation everything was fine. Something must be wrong at Crytek's end.

Hi skud. I read the thread on Mycrysis, and it seems to be a problem that a majority of dual core gamers are facing. Have you tried to use the patches in steps to see if you're able to load your game?
Maybe you can reinstall, then apply patch 1.9 and see if you can load. If it does, then you can install DX 11 and then try to load a game. If even that works, then finally load the hig res texture pack and see if you can load a game.
Maybe the high res texture pack is too demanding of CPU resources. I am just guessing here..

I have followed the exact steps of installation. And to be frank, Crytek do mention a Quad-Core as min requirement for dx11 etc., but then even snb i7 owners are also complaining the same. So its definitely not a CPU related issue.
I will uninstall the whole game and try to see step by step if I can locate the problem or just delete the hi res pack from the current installation and check. Running out of patience.
