okay so for starters I think we can all agree that the multi player component of Crysis 2 was lacklustre to say the least. Oh don't get me wrong it was never broken and could be some good old fashioned online fun but there were some serious balancing issues, most of the maps were boring or just areas recycled from the campaign. The matchmaking was slow and matches would often disconnect mid game(on the xbox anyway). also I felt there was not enough variety in the game modes and there was not enough support for the player community.

All in all I have several ideas that could improve the multiplayer for crysis 3 and I hope you will all share your ideas and comment on mine.

1. Coop: I think a coop component would be great for crysis, taking on objectives in a mission mode or fighting waves of aI in a survival mode. yes similarly to halo, gears of war and COD zombies(Oh no! he mentioned COD, kill him!). these kinds of game modes are successful for a reason and have been proven to work in many other games so I think it could work very well in a crysis flavour.

2. split-screen: I love playing online with a buddy in local splitscreen and I always thought it was a shame that crysis never had it. possibly because it would mean the graphics would have to be lowered for two screens to be rendered simultaneously but I think graphics taking a hit would be a small price to pay for splitscreen support. what do you think?.

3.Maps: most of the maps in crysis 2 were just areas from the campaign. it really pissed me off when the new dlc was only a few megabytes big meaning that most of it was already on the disc, more unique areas would be cool with maybe map specific features and colour pallets. also a few larger maps might be cool like power struggle from Crysis 1 with vehicles and big open terrain.

4. map editor for consoles: having a map editor and custom game modes on the console version would be great for the multiplayer community, making and sharing custom maps like far cry 2 or halo reach. just getting together with your mates and messing about on silly maps you made is always good fun and it will allow more creative members of the community to make great custom maps and game modes for the community.

and finally 5. Custom content: how cool would it be to have more cosmetic options for your weapons and nanosuit? I'd love to be able to blast away noobs in my hot pink nanosuit with my ruby red scar, my player emblem being a mighty unicorn of course. Halo and COD have done this yes but you know what? it works and its fun for a reason and I'm open to it.

so opinions and ideas anyone, (methinks potential flame war in the making xD)

Pink nanosuit? o.0
Personally I liked most of Crysis 2's maps but we need more variety IMO

Give everybody unlimited sprint/movement, up the pace.
Nerf camo drain time, increase recharge time, stop people spending their entire games wither running round cloaked or hiding in a corner waiting for their energy to recharge.
Add a variety of maps sizes. Plenty of vehicles for the bigger maps goes without saying.
Consoles = 16 player count minimum, PC = 32 minimum.
Survival, co-op and custom modes.
A map editor would be sweet, but it's a lot of work and I'd rather they nailed the basics.
Aesthetic customization sounds cool.

So I have this youtube and i really need all yalls help (: please please please go subscribe to my channel. Im going to be doing some crysis 2 gameplays soon and commentaries. it would help alot.

I personally would love a survival mode, with random missions to complete for added bonus weapons, perks, money, score, whatever. To make the endless fight a bit more interesting. From single player, up to 4 player co-op capabilities. A lot of people love seeing they're names at the top of the leaderboards. And I think it would make quite a few people happy if there were a survival mode.

they need to go back to Crysis 1 and reproduce how they did it there. So much more fun there vs number 2. I used to stay in speed mode and strafe fight, that was so much fun. They need to go back to the suit functions like Crysis 1 and just add the good things that came in crysis 2, like slide and the ground pound. A new player should not have a disadvantage over people who have been on for a while, they at least need to have a mode like crysis 1 MP where everyone starts with the same gun and there are guns available around the maps to pick up. Why did they have the Battlefield soldier suits on the MP in Crysis 2, that was rediculous, please change that.
Ideally, I could have Crysis 1 MP play with all the new weapons, plus slide and ground pound, and why the heck can't you lay down in Crysis 2? Please please please Crytek, bring back the fun of Crysis 1. Please please please please, I miss that game play.

One word:
Powerstruggle

Nuff said

What the hell?

I would like cosmetic items for suits.

The matchmaking and netcode were horrid in C2 and the DLC maps were never integrated into the main playlist.

If C3 can address these issues, for me they will be the MP game to beat come March 2013.

I want more verticality in the MP maps. Think more along the lines of Skyline with the sizing, layout and overall design of the maps in C3. I loved the Air Stomp and Skyline was the only map that really allowed for that maneuver.
