    Crysis 2 = Two Thumbs down, don't waste your money.

    I regret dropping my money on this game.

    My 18 month old system handles this game without breaking a sweat so this game will not test you system like the first one did. I know this was written about but now I have seen it first hand.

    The options are limited in the menu and show that this game really is for consoles. This was also known but now I can verify it.

    I got it for the SP but the game freezes up my system so now i have to redo the stupid beginning mission that pauses to tell you how to use certain parts of the suit. I guess the console noobs that will love this game need this kind of crap but it's chapping my hide.

    Well I fixed the crashing part with a driver update but i just noticed that the update disabled my SLI so it could have been the SLI that caused the lockups. So far the SP is very linear.

      I'll get it for SP, but certainly not at full price. I'm going to wait for the $20 sweet price point. By then, they should have patched out all the major annoyances and pc-specific bugs.

        I will keep you posted, they already have put out an application that allows for advanced graphics features for us PC guys so by the time the price drops they may be many more.

                  Seems like the only love pcs get anymore are just higher res textures. I dl'd Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and it wouldn't let me input text with my keyboard. I had to use my XBOX 360 comptroller to scroll through the letters

                    Crytek Denies DirectX 11 Patch for Crysis 2
                    Andy Chalk | 29 Mar 2011 3:50 pm
                    Filed under: andy chalk, crysis 2, crytek, directx 11, pc, shooter

                    Crytek says a report of an upcoming patch that will enable DirectX 11 support in Crysis 2 is unconfirmed and inaccurate.

                    Last week, German site PC-Max [via Maximum PC] reported that a patch was being readied for the PC version of Crysis 2 that would enable support for DirectX 11 and add an "Advanced Graphics" menu allowing for finely-tuned performance tweaks. It was good news for those with the latest and greatest cutting-edge hardware, but there's one minor problem: according to Crytek, it ain't so.

                    "No patch was ever confirmed, I have no idea why this website even posted such information," Crytek community rep "Cry-Tom" wrote in a thread asking about the patch. "This thread is locked just the same as the others for trying to spread inaccurate information. When there are any big announcements regarding Crysis 2 they will be posted on MyCrysis, if you read something about a patch for example, but don't see it on MyCrysis.com, then it isn't genuine."

                    PC-Max also cited a tweet from Crytek's principal R&D graphics programmer Tiago Sousa commenting on the "highly anticipated" patch, but there's no sign of such a tweet now.

                    Whatever's going on, it's obviously not a flat-out denial that a DirectX 11 patch exists, just that it's not going to be available today, as PC-Max reported. Hardware enthusiast types may still get their giggles, they'll just have to wait awhile before it happens.
