Crysis 2 explanation needed please

[DannyVTS]

Evening all

I have just started playing Crysis 2, I watched all the cut scenes etc but I'm confused to why seemingly humans are shooting at me?

I presume I should have played Crysis before playing number 2, but since I didn't can someone explain what the hell is going on?

Not played Crysis 2 yet. But I'm pretty sure the stories aren't really linked.

Yes the nanosuit is the same thing, but nothing is mentioned in the original Crysis about the suit being potential infection.

You get your suit in C2 from the team leader in C1. They are linked a bit, but not 100%.

Is this any good? Picking it up in the morning, quite looking forward to it!

I've got a serious games junkie of a mate who reckons the single player is outstanding.

Plenty don't like it but I am really enjoying it. It is big, too. (Certainly compared with MOH).

[Original Poster]

Excellent! Looking forward to it!

Well OP I've played about 2 hours of it, it's a good game but I found it really confusing to start with.

Going to be playing it again tonight, I think my initial views were a little harsh due to being a bit tired!

better than the first one? I thought the physics in the demo were a let down and felt very console like. In the first one you could throw people through walls and watch as they turned tables over filled with items or throw ammo crates at people and watch them all fly backwards through stuff etc.

Glad you can still kill people though I had a the impression it was just another xenos shooter

Incredible so far, only about 3 hours in but loving it!

on the other hand I don't have to do a 15 click hike between bases , I can fart while cloaked and not have every Korean within 20 miles knowing exactly where I am, the basic enemies don't where comparable armour to a 20 billion dollar super suit and the aliens this time around can't take an entire gauss clip to the face and keep coming. But yeah the first one on the pc was waaaaay better.

Of course because I compaired the game play between the two did I? My point was that Crysis was ground breaking in terms of graphics and physics and the second one seems to be a back step in terms of tech.

bought yesterday, never played the first and was a bit confused as well. but got into it. only played for a hour or so but seem fun so far.

[FeatherZ]

Heads up really, but I just bought this for £10 in Tesco, whether they have priced it wrong I don't know.

Bargain.

[Toyowner]

Played this through a couple of weeks, really enjoyed it.

Very good graphics and very playable.

I tried to play Killzone 3 afterwards and was disapointed with it in comparison.

It is, there's no denying it.

The first was a PC game through and through, it had a a more complex suit control system which rewarded practice, the physics engine engine felt far more fluid and the graphics engine scaled with hardware and looked fan-facking tastic on high end cards.

The second one is a massmarket console fps shooter that happens to have been released on the PC too.

Do I blame crytek for doing this? Not really, but it is disappointing.

[Guvernator]

Played it a few weeks ago. It's above average but not brilliant I thought. The campaign is surprisingly long for a modern FPS but it was a bit buggy and I didn't think the graphics were outstanding on the PS3 to be honest.

Playing it just now (on PC) and it is a great story, very immsersive which is something Call of duty et al have started eroding with the asumption that everyone wants to play online all the time.

I prefer a good story which i am part of, hence why i loved Crysis 1 where you could do what you wanted basically on the island. Though Far Cry 2 took this too far the other way and you didn't know what you had to do!

Only played Crysis 2 for about 3-4 hours so far, but took a break from gaming, so need to get into it again, as about 2/3 through Killzone 2 (i bought it so i knew story before playing Killzone 3, which is sitting on shelf mocking me with its lack of being played haha!)
