Can you comment a little more on the mantling? How limited it is? Can you grab pretty much any right-angled ledge and pull yourself up, or is it restricted to the more "obvious" spots? I've watched a few MP videos, but it wasn't clear.

Just about any right angled ledge I'd say. I certainly haven't failed to mantle in any spot I've tried to.

Mantling, hmm? Something tells me that with all those roofs and ledges and overhangs combined with cloak, the game's going to be great for stealth.

"no one bitched when Doom 3's Ultra settings required 512MB VRAM."
...actually they did, quite a bit.
RE:Crysis 1: If you look up some videos, there were cases where objects in the world didn't have models because it was so poorly optimised for low end systems. For example, there is a video of a guy with an 8800 who can't see large boulders, like the one he was hiding behind while the Koreans shot at him.
I loved Crysis and I'll prolly enjoy 2 as well.

At this time, Crytek & EA are glad to confirm that we'll be releasing a pre-launch Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on PC! Stay tuned for details.
PC demo? MP PC demo of all things? What happened to you EA? You used to be so cool with that whole "FUCK YOU CONSUMER" attitude :(

You'll likely find that the decision to release a PC demo was Crytek's decision, not EA's. Crysis 2 is published under the EA Partners programme, where developers generally retain autonomy and IP rights to their games. Hence Bulletstorm using GfWL which no internally developed EA game would go near, it was Epic's decision. Ditto for Valve games being released onto Steam, EA Partners publish their boxed copies and console versions, that's it.

Great, now they're treating PC gamers like console tards :tsktsk:

You know where I am right now? Singapore. You know where I wish Crytek had taken Crysis 2? Singapore. I mean, I like the idea of scaling the action up to a polupation centre, but New York is so... done. Singapore is a metropolis with all the concrete-jungle stuff you could ever want, plus tons of greenery, and a far more interesting cultural heritage (IMO) than NY which makes for better environments. It's probably just my love-affair with Asia, but does this strike anyone else as a good idea?
(Is secretly a guaranteed purchase of DX3 because it features Shanghai :p)

It's kind of hard to justify a bunch of Super-suited Americans defending Thailand.
Bakerman on 11/2/2011 at 01:41
Yeah, but I didn't respect Crysis 1's story that much :p.
EDIT: Protecting consumer interests?
