if you're playing on 360 its just as janky if not worse than what C2 was.
Matchmaking is still horrendous. Two players in the lobby with green connections while everyone else is mostly red with few yellow.
feels like a step backwards to me.

Thank freaking god.
I was a bit worried that my i5-760 OC'ed at 3.4 would bog me down despite my GTX680. No such problems! It looked and ran great. Maxed everything with only 1 X MSAA, no V-Sinc (didn't notice tearing). I didn't run FRAPS, but I'd say it's between 45 and 60, which I can live with.
I survived 2 hunter rounds by finding cover and ducking. Several hunters walked right by me. I resisted the urge to pop them. It's fun, but I'm not really a multi-player guy. I'm really looking forward to the single player game.

I thought this game was going to make my PC catch on fire??
I was getting 30-60FPS on a 4.1 AMD FX 4100,1GB 550TI OC'd and 8GB DDR3 Ram @ 720p with everything on high except shading, shadows and water on medium. AA disabled or FXAA on made no difference to me and motion blur on medium also. Weird thing is 1080p wasn't a option for me but my downsampling resolutions were.

This is only multiplayer and many of the effects seem to be disabled. I expect SP to be much more taxing.

Hunter as a cell operative can get quite hectic with those proximity clicks.

It wasn't broken. I loved the C2 Menus, and these ones seem to be smoother. Also I very much disliked C2 MP.
No they don't.
If you can't spot texture details or the lighting nuances it's you not the game. Besides the clarity factor those two huge things that separate what a pc does well and the what hd twins don't.
Great!

Yeah, I'd like to see the new 7970 DMC benchmarks with this beta driver, just out of curiosity.

For some reason, I don't see the Beta. am I doing something wrong?
It's in the demo section of Origin.
I didn't find it all by searching. If you're on the pc using origin use the front page tab cycle it around and it's impossible to miss the big header for it.

I can't play this in 1080P. I only see 720P and a few downsampled resolutions I made from Windows in the selection box. The game looks MUCH better in 1440P for me but it stays around mid 20's and up and that's playable for me since it looks so much better.

Keep me updated.
Between a 670, 660 and 7850 all which do well for ocing I'm looking to see what handles this game at a certain performance point before I plop a few hundred in to getting one of them.

Played the PS3 beta, that input lag! Resolution is noticeably lower than the beta on 360. Framerate is also worse.
Crytek won't get my money this time. There are better performing multiplatform games coming out soon.

Don't even try 8xMSAA or downsampling on a 570
I have 580 and i hear that card crying if i go higher. Time to spend my vacation money in a couple of months to upgrade.

I know it's a beta but... this beta is just... wack... for lack of a better term. I'm on Xbox 360 and this game is janky, the textures look like poo, the gameplay is so rough. Hunter mode is broken as crap, it couldn't be any easier for the hunters.
I don't know how it is on PC for you guys, but don't even waste the space on your HDD on 360 for this thing. I mean if you like Crysis 2 and stuff go ahead... maybe Crysis just isn't my thing.

KyleN how do You turn off/hide weapon?
Really? Maybe I'm playing with dumb people, but I've won buttloads of matches by grabbing a shield, holing myself up in a closed place and tossing the shield on any passerby hunters.

Nvm this game's MP suck. It's just boring. I tried to play like 10 matches and I quit because of how terrible it is. Rough shooting mechanics, bland looking maps, janky movement and just no flow to the match. The Crysis games always felt so prosaic.

No one did that in the matches I played... that's a really good idea. But, the bow is way easy to get kills with. Just get a nice vantage point somewhere and pick kids off.

This, is really satisfying (especially when they don't see you and suddenly WAM.)
It works because most people do not realize the hunter has an explosive arrow, but hiding in a room with others also works. Just make sure the hunters have to actually storm the room to kill you.
The explosive arrow is also pretty satisfying. Tag a dude in a room/corner full of campers and when it explodes pick off the stragglers.
Following up on this, Beta drivers having giving me about a 10-15 fps increase.
r_drawnearfov 2 in the console.
Game looks like ass on PS3. No motion blur, characters and guns seem less detailed than 2, and the resolution seems even worse. No motion blur is the worst part, it really kills the Crysis look. The contrast also seems to be messed up. Dark areas look very washed out, even when I set the brightness properly. Not my TV either, I set it up with test patterns and it looks right for everything else.
That said, the game is a lot more fun than the MP of 2 was. These new modes are way cooler than any in the last game. I just dominated a game of Crash Site and Hunter is really neat, especially with the Aliens style radar pings.

Thanks dude. I just installed the leaked 13.2 beta earlier today.. but from what I'm reading, this is a more complete beta. I was already pretty impressed with how the game ran on my Crossfire 5850 setup. 50-60fps @1080p with most settings on high +FXAA.

Hunter is the only "new" game mode. crash site was in Crysis 2.

Of course they don't. I played the 360 version and it looks horrible. Unfortunately my card doesn't support DX11 so I can't play the PC version.

The bow is freaking amazing in this game. *looks at avatar, nods* Hunter really isn't my thing but crash site is pretty good...I'll be sticking to deathmatch in full game though. I feel bad for console users here; this game was meant for PC. I don't know how you'd aim with the bow on console.

Yeah, the resolution is so low! x.x I think I'll stick to BF3 to get my multiplayer FPS fix.
Really enjoyed crash site mode. Hunter felt a little pointless but the map is actually super well designed, shame you only realise this after a few rounds. The faster climbing animation and well placed ledges/breaks between trees and buildings mean that the best players are jumping around all over the place and it looks and feels cool as hell.
Game also runs well, not perfect but definitely good enough.
Running a 680m and i73630qm and I get around 40FPS on all high settings, objects on very high, with SMAAx2 (or whatever the third lowest AA is) and v-sync at 1920x1080. It looks nice too, although I was a little confused by the lack of a 'toggle DX11 or DX9' option until I saw the minimum requirements...
I wish there was a better breakdown of what each graphical setting did though. Curious to see what I'm missing out on between high and very high.
