Crysis 2′s first 20 minutes gets capped – see it in HD now

Ve3tro‘s directly captured the first 20 minutes of Crysis 2. We haven’t watched it as we want to stay clean, but it’s after the break for you, should you need it. The Crytek shooter, which gained impressive reviews earlier this week, releases today in Europe for PS3, 360 and PC. Thanks, Reece.

I think you’ll like the game Moon. I just tried it out on xbox360 retail copy, its cool but i will be returning it to my friend today. But i think its more to your liking.

@DSB
I didnt like it as much as FEAR2.
I liked FEAR2 more than Just Cause 2 ;)

On this other forum i read something from a fellow gamer, he said even though the A.I. can fuck up sometimes,there are very cool moments as well.

“I sneaked behind a guard, stealthed killed him, 3 secons later i hear his radio going off, dude on the other say asking why he ain’t responding.
This dude is standing on the otherside of the level and he really goes up to where you are to check on him, he then sees him and asks for backup immediately. They also try to flank you and throw grenades at you like a crazy mofo.”

Some people are making it out to be the dumbest A.I. ever, but i really wouldn’t say that when the above stuff happens too.

@52 Well, the problem with that is that you’re not going to appreciate that guy checking on his buddy because you have things to do, and don’t want to hang around.

It’s like a small scene that makes no difference to the game at all, and AI wise it’s little more than a waypoint on the map. It’s not exactly complex.

I’m yet to be flanked by anyone on the next to hardest setting. Generally they stick to their cover and wait to be killed. On the harder difficulty, the challenge is in the hordes of enemies that constantly get spawned onto the map, and your position can get swarmed, but once they arrive at your last known position, they just group up and again wait to be cut down if you’re out of sight.

It has obviously not been about making the individual enemy challenging for Crytek, it’s just about numbers.

I’m sure you can find comments saying that it’s the most intelligent game in human history if you look long enough. You’re obviously entitled to believe that, but the reality is very different. It’s not a question of stupidest ever or not, it’s just a question of not living up to the hype, or the games past.
