more on my shimmer problems when using Knox's config in the OP. Every straight edge shimmers or seems to vibrate violently when viewing normally, however, when aiming down the sights of a pistol or any other weapon, the shimmer/vibration disappears.
Really stumped on what's causing this. Might just have to give up on the custom configs.

Infinite respawns are exactly why I stealthed my way through some levels. It's a bad design choice, in my opinion.

I don't understand why you'd ever stealth past enemies in this game. The heat of the moment combat is one of the few aspects of this game that is equal to the original.
Balls to the wall shooting over running past an area any day.

Cheaters don't normally bother me on the PC as you expect to see the odd one, but fuck me with this game they are taking THE PISS!
Just joined 3 rooms and there's one in every room just running around at double speed infinitely, firing from the hip with infinite ammo and NO recoil.
Fuck this game on-line, what a mess..... I've never seen anything like it.

I don't recall there being any instance of infinite respawn in the game.

I didn't notice at first, but endless waves seemed to happen on the docks just prior to when you enter Gould's apartment, and also later when you're going to break into the cradle (before you get captured). Like if you stay outside and fight, they keep coming.
The reason I didn't notice at first was because I played through on Posthuman Warrior and voluntarily getting into big firefights is suicide. Picking a few off as necessary and stealthing was the smart way to go. I replayed a few levels (those two amongs them) on Normal after I was done and dicked around, which is when I noticed it.

Using the stealthy approach should only occur on higher difficulties; so that there really is a consequence when caught or seen.
For those playing on easy, then of course run around shooting as there are no real repercussions.

That's the only one I've had that happen to, I think it could be related to the fact attachments roll over to the next play thru and they want you to pick up a silenced pistol near the start of the game to try and teach the player to silently sneak thru the car park.Grisby said:

Well they failed pretty hard there then, I gunned it through there and took the silencer off halfway through because it was fucking with accuracy/damage and has that overly annoying puff of smoke obscuring your vision.

I've had this same exact problem. On my second playthrough and my pistol silencer has vanished.Grisby said:

I hate the re-spawning of enemies too. I am finding it very frustrating in some chapters. They really flank you from all angles too which makes it worse. The part on the FDR is really pissing me off.

I seriously don't know where the respawning enemies complaint is coming from. The only time I noticed it was at the beginning of Lab Rat if you didn't advance at all. There's probably like 3 occurrences in the entire game. Don't forget they call in reinforcements with flares.

There are several instances throughout the game where it happens. It happens even if reinforcements aren't called in.BIVIANO! said:

I only noticed the infinite spawn by Gould's place, but it was crazy obvious there. I used Stealth enough that I probably avoided the other spots.

So since I still had a Crysis itch but didn't want to jump into a replay so soon, I decided to go back for a run through the original. Wow, the ambient lighting in the first game is so... not even there compared to the sequel.
I was also quite shocked to be reminded that the AI of the original game is also bugged and as dumb as shit, although it has the benefit of larger open spaces for them to get around in so it's not so noticeable. See the guy in the doorway of this picture? He spent a good five minutes doing nothing but tripping over the dead bodies of all his dumbass friends here. To be fair it was hilarious.
I was actually considering another run through the original Far Cry this weekend to see how it compares...

Very few GOTYs are groundbreaking. And they don't need to be - they just have to be the best game to come out that year.Nekrono said:
How the fuck am I 'overhyping' the game? Why would I pretend to like it more than I actually do?
Of the games I have played that have come out this year I think Crysis 2 is probably the best so far. Therefore I consider it a likely candidate for my 2011 GOTY. Other games may edge it out eventually but that won't diminish the greatness of this game.

Can't say anything about the pier, since I mostly snuck around after a while, but I'm pretty sure I cleared out the street before the HQ, and took my time to explore with no resistance afterward. Maybe it's got something to do with a reinforcement flare?
I agree, I don't think there's much chance it will ultimately be my favorite game this year, there's so much awesome to come, Portal 2, LA Noire, Journey and TLG are probably all going to be better to me, but right now (and admittedly it's early in the year) Crysis 2 is ahead.DennisK4 said:

I want to move to PC gaming, have the money but I love the Xbox360 Achievements.
that's possibly the best possible comparison there is! I always find it stupid that people take console version screenshots by taking photography, which alters colors as a result and makes the comparison between direct screenshot and photography obsolete, yet enforcing it within communities and I've despised them because of it.JRW said:Didn't realize 360 version is missing self-shadows from light sources until last night:

I had this problem with that gun too. Sucks, cause I really wanted to use it on some of the later missions when you're fighting CELL. What's even worse is that my JAW "jammed" up and it no longer works, despite having 7 rockets. It just won't reload or something, but it's bugged and I can't use it. I can aim down the sites, but the trigger does nothing, and the ammo count always reads 0/6. Im my inventory it shows 7 rockets.

Amazing job on this ingame cutscene. I'll say it's one of the most awesome things I've experienced in a FPS. I can't believe my eyes.
This game is so insanely impressive that I feel that I'm over-hyping it because I'm not used to this kind of experience on a console.

Meh. Cutscene animations are terrible. The body language is completelly deranged from their facial part and doesn't fit. Some of voice-overs feel like they try to sound cool at times, it hurts my soul. And jesus, why is everybody so smart they know my exact doing and position, even when they are about thousands of miles away.Insertia said:

I wasn't talking about you exactly, a lot of people are coming here posting it's GOTY, etc, and in all honestly after playing it myself and reading other posts other than "OMG THIS GAME IS AWESOME" it feels like GAF is praising this game too much, just like Bulletstorm, go take a look at a few pages from that thread if you like.
Sure it's a good game and will most likely be a GOTY candidate but if it takes that title it's going to be disappointing.
