Fuck you guys.
Seriously.
All of you guys with mega rigs: I hate you.
I have been watching Crysis 1 'extreme quality' mod videos in HD for about half an hour and I am stunned. I can't believe that a game from 2007, let alone ANY game, can be made to look like this. The movement. Oh, my FUCKING God, the movement. Look, I don't care if the mod renders the game unplayable, 'cause it looks 1 trillion times better than vanilla Crysis. I honestly think you're retarded if you disagree.

I'm not sure which mod you're talking about, but most keep the game extremely playable these days.mickcenary said:

I've got some really nice screens to share but they're all late game. Linking them just doesn't feel as cool. Not sure what to do.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
What's the best means of forcing AA through nVidia cards? I want to try and see if that lets me get rid of the blur and jaggies. I tried the basic control panel, but it doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone else playing MP (on the 360) been getting a bug where changing to your secondary while reloading causes you to finish the reloading animation before changing, without actually reloading your primary. It's really annoying, and has gotten me killed a whole bunch of times.

And I mean unplayable, subjectively speaking, 'cause I can definitely appreciate if some guys can't deal with/don't like the exagerrated blur, movement, etc. I happen to think that it's the best thing since sliced bread; it looks like a scripted trailer.

Ah yes, that one. Very impressive to watch.mickcenary said:

Fuck it, here's a couple screens. Not too spoilerish I don't think but if you haven't beaten it yet I'd close your eyes and scroll down or X out to avoid seeing some environments.
1080p, extreme, no downsampling:

If my savegame would be alright I would still play this on post-human, searching every corner and look at the tiny details. I am bummed about losing all my suit powers and the weapon-mod freeze bug, so I need a brake and will probably blast through it on normal difficulty in a few days.

yes to both
The Nanocatalyst appears at the point where you killed them and not where they fall. It can sometimes be hard to find it since you instinctively search the bodies. Sometimes its even floating in the air. In some of the really big battles it seems that the 100 Nanocatalyst ones disappear after a while but the bigger ones stay.DennisK4 said:

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if I can get some advice about configs.
I was able to run Crysis 1 at 720p with the "Natural Mod". Not great fps.. maybe 25, something like that.. but good enough for me I guess. If I played crysis 1 on very high settings out of the box at 720p the fps was a lot crappier though.
Anyway, I got crysis 2, and at 720p, extreme settings, I only get 10 fps.
So what should I do? There doesn't seem to be a "standard" optimized set of configs for this game yet. What are the main things I can change to boost fps?
My GPU is an HD 5650. I was going to get the latest drivers, but then I noticed that hp's site only has drivers from october. If I get them from somewhere else then I'll lose my switchable graphics, which isn't too cool.
Any advice? I haven't done tons of modern PC gaming, so I'm not very familiar with all the different types of effects, or what matters for fps.

I've gotten the impression the nano stuff is where the alien was killed, even if their body fell or was moved somehow.derFeef said:

To your earlier shot, I was messing around with the nighttime areas of the game. It really does look incredibly better with the fires in the buildings and all the different lighting sources playing off of things.
Neuromancer said:
Correct. Its not where they fall, but where they were when health hit zero. At times, it can be a large discrepancy. Sniping can especially cause you to lose them as by the time you clear and area and displace, you'll be too late to pick them up.

And it could be that you are experiencing a bug. I couldn't harvest any of the NC as the score remained at 0. Now I have 60 in my second playthrough and I'm at a point my score doesn't increase. This is after the patch.

How's the 360 multiplayer community for Crysis 2? I enjoyed the beta, limited as it was, but I wouldn't mind giving this a try. Mostly for the SP obviously, but if the MP community isn't a desolate wasteland it'd make it an easy decision to pick this up (as a corollary, is anywhere currently beating Amazon's $10 off the 360 version?)

I'll ask again, why does my server list always display empty(PC)? It has been like this since launch day. I'd really like to at least try the multiplayer...

how long is the SP? and is the game worth getting if I don't ever plan on playing MP (I will get the 360 as I hear it's better then the PS3 version)

Nah just lot of exaggeration. Thing is the game has quite a few textures and such that do look like they were covered in your standard shiny vaseline finish to cover the shitty texture quality. So you get random ground and stone texture that is for some reason shiny. It's not like the screen and everything is covered in it though.

Don't get to pumped because the game has its flaws. But its a really competent, feature reach shooter with the best graphics in console. Plus the best control scheme for a pad in any shooter.Detox said:

Don't worry about it, this always happens in any discussion of a top-tier PC game. The people talking about it are the exception, not the rule. They aren't wrong, of course, at least not regarding their own experiences - it's just some people see certain things differently. You don't see that kind of talk for console-only or more console-centric games because you can't do anything about it on console.LQX said:
