Will you still play C2 MP intensively or just casually after C3 MP is out?

Well you should .. 15 posts and I don't see you stats.

Way to answer his question BigIron -_-

It completely depends on how the gameplay, bugs/glitches, anti-cheat support, long-term future support, votekick system, etc are placed in C3 MP.

Basically if Crytek have learned their lessons from C2 MP, then I will be willing to intensively play C3 MP.

If not...then I really don't know what I would do. There is no other game which entertains me as much as C2 MP.

I have kept saying the same thing since the game released: so much potential....so much amazing potential....if only Crytek knew how to handle it.

I hope my gaming to be consumed by C3 and having a great time doing it. (I'll almost certainly support C2 servers till the bitter end, though.)

I support what Zuvial has stated. C2 has amazing potential and if C3 even corrects half of the issues that plague C2 then I will most likely play C3 most of the time.

C2 is actually the first FPS game I've ever played... and it's a rush. I've tried others like BF3 or BFBC2 but those seem more point and shoot style. I love the nanosuit. It adds so much variety and strategy to the game on a customization level. However, with the nanosuit dynamic, it also causes a lot of issues.

Such as random loss of energy when you sprint and bump into an item. Nothing more frustrating than being out of energy going around a corner because you nicked the side of the wall -_-

Another annoyance is grenades. They're so freaking powerful in the game. Granted they're powerful in real life but we're wearing nanosuites for god's sake. Grenades also make some game types unplayable such as crash site. CS turns into a grenade fest most of the time.

Hacking. I hope Crytek comes up with a decent anti-hacking agenda this go around. The vote-kick option needs an improvement as well. Maybe list who's initiated the VK and limit players from spamming VK on anyone who kills them.

And to keep this semi-short I will only give one more example of something that annoys me. Environmental Objects. Some objects in the game visually appear to be small, but the actual surface is large. To explain, I'll throw a grenade and expect it to clear a tree or big rock in the game. The rock only appears visually as a certain size but the grenade "hits" the rock and bounces back even though it should have cleared it. Hard to explain.

Don't get me wrong, I love C2. Great game that is underrated by most players. I can understand how novice FPS players can have a hard time adjusting to C2 because it's fast and strategic vs others I've played that have less dynamics.

About grenades - firstly, there's a very good reason this game only allows you to carry 1 grenade as opposed to most other shooters which allow 2+. The only way to carry more is with Side Pack II - something you have to sacrifice Mobility Enh, Aim Enh or Retriever for.

Secondly, there is no way to re-stock on grenades (unlike weapon ammo) - once you're out, that's it till you die.

Thirdly, Detonation Delay. Crash Site is arguably the most team-based mode in the game (next to CTR) and I dare you to kill anyone with a grenade when going up against a half-decent clan in Crash Site. I'll tell you right now that anyone with Det. Delay is virtually immune to grenades and C4, that module is the bread and butter of Crash Site.

Basically what I'm saying is that grenades are balanced fine ^_^
The last thing we need is the inability to control the timer on the grenades, end up with Battlefield 3 grenades which take 5 years to explode after throwing.

While I'll agree with you on most your point, the fact is most of the CS games played are with pug groups, thus team effort is mostly mute. I can totally agree with the fact that most clan teams and tournaments are great fun with CS. I've never played any with a clan but I've watched plenty of Sdub and War_Spirit videos to get a good point of view on how good it can be when playing with skilled players. However, I've only experienced the pug groups and team effort is something of a fairy tale. So yea, grenades are a total annoyance.

Still a tad powerful for my taste though. Just my opinion though :-)

After reading recent interviews with Cervat I am starting to worry that they are going to dumb down or noobify Crysis 3 to get a larger commercial online following .. hopefully I am wrong and they will keep all of the complexity and nanosuit modes and modules which are what I like about the game. I admit Crysis 2 had a frustrating learning curve but like others the pumping action makes me forgive all of the bugs/hacks, lack of support etc.

That said, I will definitely try C3 and hope it replaces C2 as my game of choice but if it sucks I will still play C2 if I can still find a game and am not sick of it yet.

After the dumbing-down of nanosuit controls from Crysis 1 (which was a good thing for multiplayer) I dunno how they can dumb it down any further.
As for nanosuit customization, I could let that pass as long as they let us use...stuff... : /

Well I'm a 100% sure I'll play Crysis 3 in the future actively, but depends on my irl status. Seems I'll have to leave the country for a better job somewhere else and I'm not sure how much time I will have if it happens. I'll definiatly look back to Crysis 2 in some days, just to get that nostalgia feeling, but I'll mainly focus on C3.
