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. <\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n
The demo will be available from http:\/\/crysis.ea.com on launch day, as well as unconfirmed “other partner sites”. <\/p>\n
