Electronic Arts and Crytek have just announced that the previously-announced Crysis 2 PC multiplayer demo would be deploying 1 March. That’s the official PC demo, mind you, and not the “unofficial” “PC” “demo” you might have heard about.
The demo bundles two maps set in and around a fashionably “war-torn” Manhattan – Skyline, “set on top of the rooftops and interiors of skyscrapers”, and Pier 17, “an open environment with limited cover”. Two 6-vs-6 modes are featured, including Team Instant Action (team deathmatch, basically) and Crash Site (sounds like a king of the hill sort of thing).
The demo will be available from http://crysis.ea.com on launch day, as well as unconfirmed “other partner sites”.
For the moment, the PC minimum requirements for the game are:
• Operating system: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, with the latest Service Pack
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo at 2Ghz, or AMD Athlon 64 x2 2Ghz, or better
• Memory: 2Gb (Vista requires 3Gb)
• Video: NVidia 8800GT with 512Mb RAM, ATI 3850HD with 512Mb RAM, or better
• Sound: DirectX Compatible Sound Card
• DirectX®: 9.0c
• Controller support? Microsoft Xbox360 Controller for Windows
• Any special multiplayer requirements? Internet Connection Required
The full game drops 25 March.
