^^ I think me meant the PC version, the superior version

We could have 16 man parties if we wanted to.

I'm not sure how it works on the console though, but even if you are limited to 4 men per squad, cant it work like this?

4 men per squad but you have 8 men wanna play. Just split into 2 squads and still have the two squads work and able to chat and coordinate together?

If you can, it works. Trust me, IT WORKS.

no
xbl it can work as there is a party chat which will enable the 2 squads to actually use voice and get past the epic fail dice keeps implementing in their games

and yes if u in a clan u can coordinate ur gameplan before the game but as anyone who has ever been in a clan or matches would know things dont go according to plan all the time and u wud need to come up with on d fly tactics and that is hard to do when u cant talk to the other squad

all this is still pendent on IF u get into the same game btw as consoles have matchmaking so u not sure to be put in d same game

which is why bc2 and moh fails IMO
for a game tryin to be tactical and push this "teamwork" talk they speak of it limits teamwork drastically by limiting party size and comms between squads

MAG had the teamwork aspect down perfect with squad leaders being able to talk to other squad leaders , platoon leaders, OIC on a seperate voice channel away from squad chat

I agree that the lack of a larger party in BC2 was EPIC FAIL, I don't think it was enough of a problem to make the game on a whole fail, that being said I AM on XBL and can communicate with 2 squads at a time. So in a sense one may look at it from the perspective that it's a PS3 PLATFORM FAIL for not YET getting their voice chat act together, and on the other side of the same coin its a game developer fail for trying to promote team activities but the 'teams' can't communicate.

@Blu if you look at it from a overall perspective 2 of the 3 platforms have NO/VERY limited communication issues, that's majority imho and thus can't be epic all together.

well u also have to look at it as the two platforms had ways to work around the fail eh but that shouldnt be used as an excuse for devs to be lazy. because to anyone that spent time on MAG wud see how Zipper had the one of the best if not the best ways to communicate between squads i have seen in a game.

so i woudnt blame the PS3 or sony for that when DICE KNEW what they had to work with.
but das a topic for another thread

Took a small touch in the xbox 360 demo today with my son.

Was pleasantly surprised. Looks like my kind of game.

Graphics were very decent given the limits of the console.

Can't wait to compare it to the PC version. If its better (as I expect it will be) this will get my money.

You're at least guaranteed a kick-@$$ single-player campaign.

I consider the MP a bonus, not a feature.

I am liking the positive feedback because I honestly thought it was decent too!

PC system requirements revealed.

Rather tame, if you ask me. I want to see recommended system requirements.

blood-lust · « **Reply #92 on:** February 07, 2011, 01:20:35 AM »

i considering upgrading a graphics card for this

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #93 on:** February 07, 2011, 09:14:29 AM »

Did you even read the post? lol. Your machine is way over the requirements.

Crysis 2 features a new version of CryEngine tuned to run on five-year-old consoles, it's safe to expect game to be more scalable than its predecessor.

Looking @ your specs, you'll be able to run it at high for sure (blackops phenomena aside)

Here they are again:

A Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 processor clocked at 2GHz
2GB of RAM
A GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 3850 with 512MB of video memory
9GB of hard-drive space
DirectX 9.0c-compatible audio
And, of course, a keyboard and mouse (Xbox 360 controllers will also be supported on Windows).

i doh know hoss, a set of websites saying my graphics card is insufficient, i was checking the performance info on the ati site and i'm not 100% sure since they give infor for the 4600 series and 3800 series in general but it looks like the 3800 might be better, dammit they need to bring out the beta already so i can be sure

You NEED to move up, nothing like seeing your favourite game getting the 1080p treatment with everything maxxed... it's a site to behold.

As a new immigrant in 1080p-land, I can attest to this. Started playing over plenty games just cuz.

You're getting tremendous bang for buck value in single cards now. Especially in the 180-260US range.
