So I picked up Crysis 2 yesterday to give another new shooter a chance after Brink disappointed me. I spent enough time in the campaign to get my controls and mouse sensitivity sussed out then jumped straight into MP and my title pretty much sums it up. Bleh, waste of 60 bucks.

With practice you can spot them as you see the shimmering effect. I do it to others so dont mind when its done to me :-) . I have loads of fun with the hologram gun attachment, sending 'me' into areas and then spotting the cloaked enemies and shooting them.

Yeah I know you can see it but playing a shooter on a server full of nearly invisible people is just dumb IMO, no skill involved, it's all just dumb luck. Classic mode with the suit off was more fun since at least that requires some thought and aim but then it's just generic military shooter #46754, meh.

It's a pretty game though, no uber brown "next-gen" filter going on, Crytec at least seems to remember that there is some color in the world.

Yeah, it really didn't look like much fun.

I messed around with the pc demo and thought it was pretty cool. I got stealth killed from behind but I also got a few off. It is one of the more frantic mp games I've tried.
