It's not case airflow. AMD just lets their cards cook themselves while the fan idles. Afterburner will let you customize the fan settings.Foliorum Viridum said:

So uh, does anyone know what the gauss attachment does in MP? What it does for me is shoot out an indicator to give dudes a heads up that i'm behind them so they can turn around and shoot me before i can switch back to primary fire. I thought it would drain suit energy so you could melee once and kill them but i can't tell.

So I just read the Crysis and Crysis 2 wiki's and apparently...
Uhhh, yeah...
Alkatraz and Prophet merge at the end of the game?
Crossfire fix coming for ATI users tomorrow apparently!

Right so I'm quite a few chapters in now.
+ The areas are a lot bigger than I expected. Moreso than that, I feel they have done a good job of encouraging different approaches.
+ I thought the city would lack the spectacular vistas of the first game but there really are some incredible sights.
- I miss quick saving. It encouraged experimentation and the checkpoints can be spread out too far.
- I also miss picking up ammo etc. It feels slightly less immersive just running over guns and when you get ammo from a crate nothing happens. I loved in the original Crysis bending down in a frantic firefight to quickly grab ammo (even if grabbing a whole gun wasn't completely realistic, I know, but it still felt cool!)
The two minus' are quite small things really, though. I am starting to really enjoy it.

Just finished it, thought it was an absolutely fantastic game, with shit storytelling. It's funny because the script writer for this game took a dump on Halo's storytelling during development, and despite Reach not having the best story ever, it was still leaps and bounds better than Crysis 2 in that regard.
This is up there with the best games of the generation for me in terms of Singleplayer. So much freedom and choice, it's one of those games where I know I'll replay it and have just as good a time as I did initially. If I were to have one major complaint it would be the bugs, this game is littered with them, but they aren't big enough to affect my enjoyment of the game too much.
And there's no debate whatsoever, this is the best looking game on consoles, especially considering the level design and AI. I can't believe there's any discussion on this really. I've played KZ2&3, UC2 and GOW3 and they just can't match Crysis 2 as a technical achievement.

I thought he specifically went after Modern Warfare 2? He may have gone after Reach too, I dunno. Crysis 2's story was dumb, but fine for an action game to keep you moving thru the action set pieces. Seemed like Hargreave was the only interesting character in the game.
Once you get into the stretches where you fight a lot of Ceph then go back to fighting CELL guys the game just seems unfair. If you buy the right suit upgrades you feel like a god against humans.DennisK4 said:
Also, I feel like a complete idiot for only just realizing why the aliens are called Ceph.

And as have I and I just don't get this, I finished C2 this morning and although under the hood it may have the technical bullets points to top trump other games out there but visually speaking it doesn't come close to either of those games you've mentioned, especially UC2 for texture quality which is arguably one of the most important visual components of a game, and even KZ3 imo looks much better graphically, a much cleaner looking game with better animation and modelling, the only thing that really impressed me in C2 graphically was the shadows, I just wish I could see what everybody else is seeing that is so apparently so impressive, granted I am talking about the console versions, on the PC in high with temporal AA disabled and blur disabled then yeah it starts to to turn my head.

IMO Crysis 2 completely and utterly violates KZ3, especially considering the frankly horrible level design of that game.
I played C2 on PC, but from what I've seen the overall visual quality is really similar between all platforms. Image quality is the only place where KZ3 has the edge. If C2 ran at 720p and at a stable 30fps on the PS360 it'd be complete annihilation.

I was speaking graphically/visually, I enjoyed the hell out the C2 in terms of game-play, I'm not saying KZ3 is the better game, but it does look more impressive to me.

What type of motion blur tech does C2 use?, is it proper object blurring?, I loved the motion blur effect in the original PC Crysis but it doesn't look the same in C2.

Another bug - bodies float in mid-air if they are killed on a lift and the lift starts moving.
lowrider007 said:
I guess it's a matter of opinion. I find C2 more technically impressive and artistically appealing. The nighttime levels are just too pretty. Levels in general are much more open compared to the narrow corridors of KZ3 too.
And I freaking love the bokeh depth of field used in Crysis 2.

I guess maybe I just prefer cleaner looking games, the temporal AA probably doesn't help and then there's that weird interference filter thing or whatever it is going on, that is very strange, still not sure whether that is intended or not or just a by product of the engine, anyway like I said I really enjoyed the game I guess that what's important, just wish the AI was a bit better.

You know what else is annoying about this game? Infinitely respawning enemies. I thought we were past this nonsense already.DualShadow said:

So I unlocked the LE edition bonuses when I got the game and when I start multi-player a red screen shows up saying "You have unlocked level 5, platinum dog tags, camo, w/e else" yet I don't the get unlocks except the digital camo (which doesn't seem to show?). On some screens it says I'm level 5, on the others it says I'm still level 3. And I can't unlock the 5 classes instantly.

Just picked up the game. Does the WIP config in the OP hurt the performance?
That's why I just stealthed my way through the final level and didn't fight anyone. They may not have been infinite, but it was annoying when you cleared an area of aliens only to have a group of four drop in behind you (and with your checkpoint already 15 minutes old).
