Crysis 3's MP is just as big a janky turd that C2's MP was.

Theres nothing here that says this is a must have at launch. the maps are dull and uninspiring and the gunplay and mechanics feel like shit. hell at least C2 had Skyline these maps and gametypes do little to get me to want the game.

pass~ I'll wait til it hits the bargain bin in a couple months to play the campaign, not worth the $60.

 

[Kinyou]

Hm, didn't enjoy this at all, which is weird because I had a few fun hours with the Crysis 2 multiplayer.

The graphics also seem to be a bit too much for the 360 (while really not looking great)

Crysis 3 has a skyline remake. Can you be a little more clear on what makes it so janky? Are you using a 360 controller? When I played 2 on the 360 I noticed how much less aim assist there was than most shooters, which I thought was a good thing. But on PC it feels very smooth to me.

edit: I also think airport is a great map. Lots of verticality, perfect mix between long and short lines of sight.

I agree, skyline was a good map. I think I might wait as well...

[fatigues_gasolini]

Welp, 3 out of 3 bust for playing the PC. Get about 10 seconds in and the thing locks my computer like no ones business.

 

[Mononoke]

How long is the beta running for?

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

How long is the beta running for?

Until February 12th I believe.

 

[Wonko_C]

"Looks pretty much the same, 360 blurryness aside..." That's what my friend who only has a 360 and doesn't like to play on PC would say.

 

[memecomplex]

So is TXAA better than MSAA? 4x TXAA seems to work my system harder than 4x MSAA, haven't really fiddled enough, game keeps crashing when I switch AA modes.

 

[Nokterian]

How long is the beta running for?

February 15th,so 2 weeks. That is good just before launch..i hope.

 

[Mononoke]

Until February 12th I believe.

Sweet. I'm going to be busy with school this week, so I won't be able to get to this until Thursday. Hopefully it's still up then.

Would be nice to test my rig and see how it holds up.

playing on 360, it may be the lack of an adequate aim assist that makes it feel janky to me i guess. can't really pin point it. I guess I'll play some more but its more frustrating than fun at this point.

Like I said, I'm also not a fan of the maps or gametypes they've chosen to showcase their crown jewel either.

Part of what sold me on C2 was the MP beta with just standard TDM and Skyline. These maps are too spread out for my liking and C2's MP was best played on the smaller CQB maps because the sniping/ranged gunplay is kinda shitty TBH.

 

[1st Course]

The graphics seems overdemanding for what it offers, but I like it.

It's demanding because there is just too much shit on the maps (grass,rocks,buildings etc everywhere).

[Kibbles]

How's it on a 7850 2GB OC?

 

[sp3000]

This just seems like a modded Crysis 2 MP pretty much. Almost everything is the same except a few new modifications to the suit and gametypes.

 

[Elixist]

new drivers offer up to 50 percent increase on DMC? dint that game already run great? cool stuff.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Damn, just went 36 and 8 on crashsite, followed immediately by my computer shutting down. Either my PC can't handle Crysis 3, or Crysis 3 can't handle my badassery.

I don't use AMD myself but here's the new beta driver.

Sweet, thanks. Ah, doesn't apply to me though.

 

[Lulubop]

Much better once I found the fov slide.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Running at almost a steady 60 with everything on high except motion blur at medium and vsync off. Also, playing at 1440x900 so that makes a pretty big difference.

i5 2500k
560ti

Game really is stunning. Much better art quality than the mess that was Crysis 2.

 

[antitrop]

So what you're saying is I shouldn't bother wasting my bandwidth/time to download the beta?

Agreed. It's pretty ass.

 

[lowrider007]

Has anyone actually confirmed whether the beta driver improves fps on single gpu set-up?

 

[dmr87]

Only reason I downloaded it was to test the performance.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

It depends if you like first person multiplayer shooters. It looks like a lot of people here don't. If you do, then definitely give it a shot.

 

[Elixist]

So what you're saying is I shouldn't bother wasting my bandwidth/time to download the beta?

if you like multiplayer shooters i think its well worth it. not gonna set the world on fire, but it looks great and plays well enough.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

The beta is worth the download just for the sound the Typhoon gun (default gun for C.E.L.L. in hunter mode) makes

I hope someone mods infinity ammo into that in the SP jsut to fool around with.

Only thing shitty about that kind of gun play are the penetration glitches the engine has but whether it's mp or sp it still effects everyone.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Downloaded it, and apparently my card (555M) isn't supported.

Oh well, at least my PC had a good run.

 

[Zemm]

I'm getting horrible mouse lag in this game, like no other fps game I've ever played. Can't be just me right? It feels awful.

 

[Toa TAK]

So what you're saying is I shouldn't bother wasting my bandwidth/time to download the beta?

Yes. Unless you really liked Crysis 2's multiplayer.

 

[FLAguy954]

That's weird, I'm using shitty 7660G Integrated graphics and I can run the game. Surely a discrete card could as well?

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Game's pretty fun imo.

Runs alright with a single 7970 provided you don't use MSAA. I've settled for using at controller and locking the framerate at 30, which this game thankfully does well.

 

[FACE]

I like hunter mode, but when crash site comes up I immediately leave the server.

Tip: Hunters have one sticky explosive arrow, use it. Specially when dudes start holing up in the sewers of Airport.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I didnt like the multiplayer in the beta for C2, but this I like. Not necessarily the game modes, but the game feels better and more crisp. And it definitely looks better with a colorful but clear art direction instead of the glossy mess that was Crysis 2.

This game is phenomenal at locking the framerate at 30. I also agree about the game being fun (I'm really enjoying Crash Site).

I'm the exact opposite, I don't even enable Hunter Mode when I look for a match.

 

[Kurdel]

I already got to level and and did that prestige/suit reboot.

Using the Bow in the king of the hill mode is really awesome.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Hunter mode on High/Very High on Airport is amazingly good.

 

[jonremedy]

How's it on a 7850 2GB OC?

Running at ~60 fps with everything at high, SMAA Medium and textures at very high.

 

[KyleN]

I was bored so i made a little video:

Im gonna get so much hate for the music

 

[ii Stryker]

the netcode is straight up garbage on console, its actually a step backwards from C2.

Its becoming painfully clear Crytek is only good at pushing the visuals. The rest of their "technology", and design for that matter, is pretty shitty.

Its fitting that they're in control of Homefront 2.

 

[mr stroke]

Game is a monster at 5760x1080 maxed getting 10fps with an i5+GTX690 going to 1080 it goes up to 40-55fps




Multi game demo its self is kinda meh. Pretty boring so far. No biggie as Crysis games are always about the single player IMO.

 

[Tzeentch]

Haven't downloaded the MP beta, but I did preorder C3 on Origin because I skipped Crysis 2 on PC and lost my discs of Crysis 1 (you get the previous games with the gold-plated edition).

The MP on Crysis 3 will be a hacker-filled desolate wasteland within weeks, just like Crysis 2. But I'm actually sort of looking forward to the campaign and trying to port Crysis 1 levels to the new engine And maybe Crytek will be actually support modders this time ..... NAHHHHHHH just kidding that won't happen.

the first one was, the 2nd failed on both aspects

 

[Alienous]

This is pretty fun. Running a 7870 without overclocking, and having to play on low to achieve maximum performance. My processor (i3 540)'s probably letting me down, right? Atleast the game plays alot better than the Alpha.

Anyway, the game still looks amazing on low, and the gameplay is a step up from Crysis 2. Power weapons such as shields keep the matches exciting (the Alien-Sniper is fantastic). Movement feels more fluid, and the game play is bettered by the seperation of Stealth and Armour suit functions (although auto-armour keeps getting me killed as I am used to tapping Q when hurt).

It surpasses Crysis 2, and actually reminds me of the older style of FPS (Unreal, Quake). I'm actually jumping over people and shooting, sliding and shooting, jumping and shooting. Pretty cool stuff.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

That's weird, I'm using shitty 7660G Integrated graphics and I can run the game. Surely a discrete card could as well?

Yeah, I don't know why. Funniest thing is that I played the alpha version for a couple of hours, without problems.

I don't mind though, I'll hold off Crysis until I get a new PC.

 

[RoKKeR]

Looking forward to playing this. Hopefully it's an improvement over 2's which I thought was janky as hell.

 

[Darkkn]

Some top notch level design in the airplane map. A ton of routes and you can make use of nano suit abilities well. Some good eye candy as well.

Crash-site is very solid game mode and it's nice to see Crytek pushing it rather than boring DM/TDM. Hunter mode is a ton of fun as well.

Kill highlight reel at the end of the round is a nice touch.

Assault rifle has an absurd kick/bullet spread. It's pretty difficult to kill people with it because people run so fast :/

Overall, it's pretty fun and distinctive enough from COD to be worthwhile.

Your's is DX11 compatible, his isn't.

EDIT: I read the post wrong, his is also DX11 compatible. Not sure why it won't work
