.....when I still, three weeks after release, cannot play Crysis2 online multiplayer. I just cannot log in. Even created an extra gamespy account but that didn't work. So now I've got two gamespy accounts and a mycrysis account...... none of which work. Hah, and good luck trying to get answers from the MyCrysis website. At least it's a known issue. :rolleyes:

With the release day of BLOPS I would get kicked 5 seconds after joining a map. Two days later I could play two maps before getting kicked. Two days after that I was playing non-stop and enjoying myself. Ideal....? No, I guess not. Still better than Crysis2 tho.

Seriously?

My point is that I find it funny that people have loads to say about how crap and buggy BLOPS multiplayer is when most people still can't even log into Crysis2 to actually play multiplayer......... three weeks after it's been released.

PS: Try not to be so aggressive on a Sunday morning man. :wtf:
 
Agreed. I had no issues with BLOPS, always worked fine for me.

Crysis 2 on the other hand... It takes me over 10 minutues to find a server. The cloud system doesn't work well either- I played 3 rounds last night, when the game randomly stopped responding in the 3rd. I had to restart it and saw that I had lost all the exp gains I had made in the previous 2 rounds.
It also always freezes temporarily when I click on the "Favourites" or "Recent" tab.

It's fun to play, but the waiting times alone for a server that seems to have players on (The 0/16-16/16 player bug is irritating), makes me want to play something else instead. Like the Crysis 2 SP :)
 
I only bought BLOPS on PC last week and I have had no issues thus far.

Havent had a chance to try crysis 2 MP yet.
 
I never had issues with BLOPS, just trying to play with people on accounts not peering with mweb was kak.

Wow, aggressive much? Can't be because the Bulls lost surely? hahahaha!

Crysis 2 is just not something I can see having much longevity in the MP side. In fact, same goes for most COD titles. All issues aside, they are fun in the beginning, but after 2 or 3 months it just becomes extremely repititive in my opinion.
 
Crysis 2 is a single player game, with multiplayer.
COD: (Insert Name Here) is a multiplayer game with a single player "campaign".

COD will get more flak, because it is a multiplayer game, not a single player game with added multiplayer.
Multiplayer is the COD series' big selling point, if their servers aren't ready and working, they deserve to get shit for it.

Crysis 2 on the other hand, are you really expecting Crysis 2 to actually be relevant in the world of multiplayer gaming? No, it might have some initial points of interest and you have the super suit, but just like the first game and War Head, multiplayer isn't something that made the Crysis experience.
 
Cod Blops got flak, because it was a game from the COD franchise. So much will be expected from such a huge franchise. I was SERIOUSLY unimpressed with crysis2. MP and singleplayer.
 
Buying a game with MP at launch is no longer a enjoyable experience, lets hope its just a phase the gaming world is going through at the moment.

As a side note - MOH gameplay feels like its a mixture between battefield and COD
Homefront gameplay feels like its a mixture between battefield and COD
Crysis gameplay feels like its a mixture between battefield and COD

What the heck is going on?

People are trying to sponge off some of that glory-money, thats whats going on.
 
Honestly saying those games are a mixture of those 2 is not really fair towards cod and battlefield. They own their type of fps games on their own and no one can compete with them.

Moh was the biggest fail I've seen I a couple of years when you consider the hype.

Homefront quickly degenerated into a campfest and spawn raping fest alonside the almost instant hackers. But its still an enjoyable experience once in a while.

Crysis 2 I've enjoyed the sp a lot and I'm going to give the mp a chance again after all the login problems.

But honestly for me when it comes to fps mp games I only play cod or battlefield.
 
RE: why BLops got so much stick

People say whtat hey want about COD and boycotts etc but the game is fun and at the end of the day you play the game to have fun. thats the whole points, have fun with your mates.

Now BO, why did it get so much stick?

1. Expectation, ya sure some of you say COD has been on the downfall since Cod4 and then you see 90% of the "Boycott MW2 steam group memebers playing MW2, why because again, it was fun, yes it could be better with Dedi servers but it actually brought the gaming community closer IMO, i met new people through groups that had to be made in order to find hosts etc for MW2

2. BO hyped itself up, marketing and more marketing, so you expect the game to prefrom even better than the previous CoD title, from a technical point of view, BO has failed, why? the IWNET enigne being the CoD 4 engine was more than well recieved. When the IWNET 4.0 engine came out it looked even greater (this was the mw2 engine fyi) Now 3ARC were not and should never be the main dev for any Cod title, the problem they have is that they wanted to do one up on IW but instead buggered up an engine, a few examples is being killed by Napalm inside a building or having have you side sticking through a wall and thus quickly being nailed.

3. Innovation and new ideas, what im tryna say is we got new things in BO no other CoD offered but when a released the game itself doesnt function correctly, for example BMW advertise a new M3 with the next Gen brakes and the best gearbox in the world, you buy the car but things like the accelerator is very delayed or the reverse gear doesnt work 100%, sure you gave us the new things bt the basic functionality is faulty, this sums up BO.

4. Main reason BO got such stick....the sheer volume of players that brought and play it, the more ppl playing the more complaints you would receive, simple math, if every 3 in 10 people found black ops to be an issue, times that by 10 0000 adn you have 30 000 unhappy customers, youre going to hear about it, even though the 70 000 are happy, lets face it, 30 000 unhappy customers will catch someones attention....this is why it is so important they get it 95% right on launch, rather have a few unhappy customers that are upset about the game being delayed than a whole lot more when a game is released, lets face it delaying a game wont exactly make you lose as much customers than releasing a half working game.

Even though most issue in BO are fixed, its the credibitly that got damaged in the proccess, Devs shoudl rather push back release dates if need be and get it right first time, no one expects a bug free game but no one also expects a swarm of locust bugs either....
