It is. Some reason it doesn't show in ss.

 

What do you expect from a console port

 

Good point Piggy and probably the reason why it doesn't show.

Hello to all of you.

 

Here at Crytek we value our community, and we love what you do with our engine. In recent times our focus has been heavily on the development of Crysis 2, however our modding community has been, and remains, very important to us.

 

So, I wanted to tell you about our plans for supporting you in the future with some really exciting news, which I want to share with you now. Modding with the most powerful game engine is coming back!

 

We want to see what you guys can do with CryENGINE 3 and we hope we'll be as amazed with the things you create as we have been over the past few years. This time around, we're going to do things in a different way - offering you the right tools to achieve your vision.

 

First of all, we will be launching an Editor for Crysis 2 early in summer. This will allow you to build new maps, items and more custom content for Crysis 2. For teams looking for even more creative freedom, we have another option: The free CRYENGINE SDK.

 

 

Be Free

In August 2011 we will be launching a free CryENGINE SDK. If you want to use it for fun, like all our previous MOD SDKs it will be completely free of charge, to anyone who wants to play with it! You just register, download the SDK with a personalized license key and you're good to go!

 

Be Creative

We'll be giving you access to the latest, greatest version of CryENGINE 3 - the same engine we use internally, the same engine we give to our licensees, the same engine that powers Crysis 2.

 

This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC.

 

Be The Developer

With all this power in your hands - we know you're going to do some amazing things with the engine, so we're working out how best to support you.

 

We'll also be sharing our documentation with you, which is written by the developers of the engine, and we'll be giving you a new and improved crymod.com. We'll update the Free CryENGINE SDK regularly, to make sure you have access to all the advances we make to CryENGINE 3.

 

If you want to use it to make a game to launch commercially, we'd like to help you with that. If you want to take your product down a traditional commercial route, we will offer an innovative low cost licensing model if you want to release your game digitally.

 

If you're looking to use CryENGINE for non-gaming purposes, we'll have a per-seat business model for the engine - please enquire at mycryengine.com for further details.

The 1.4 patch added new maps based on 3 servers I found by querying the gamespy master server

This type of DLC I don't like, splits the community between those that own it and those that don't. It's like they are bullying people to buy it.

 

I'm still waiting for the day when PC players of a particular game turn to the dev and say "That's it, we will not pay for your DLC and have our community split in two!"

It's not doing very well so that may be the message. Same happened with the MoH Hotzone DLC.

 

-- Total Stock Players = 1381

-- Total DLC Players = 8

 

-- Total Servers Running Stock Maps = 1060

-- Total Servers Running DLC Maps = 33

 

Seems like it's mainly EA and Activision with this sad paid map pack obsession. Portal 2 and Brink both announced free DLC so I guess there are still some publishers that still understand.

I hope so, some of the things we're now paying for were available free when the modders were hard at work, usually much better maps too.

Crysis 2 MP is a trainwreck. A fun trainwreck but still a trainwreck. Laggy, buggy and full of hackers. I still dont have any of my limited edition stuff from my pre-order, which they said they would fix months ago. Oh well.

Available today on PC and Xbox 360, the Crysis 2 Decimation Pack brings all new maps and weapons to the Crysis 2 universe. Battle in all-new locations and once again prove yourself the master of the Nanosuit. Included in this pack you will find;

 

Maps

- 5th Avenue

- Chasm

- Plaza

- Prism

- Apartments

Weapons

 

FY71 Assault Rifle

First off there is the FY71 Assault Rifle, perfect for tearing through a line of enemies or battling over long distance;

 

Smoke Grenade

Secondly we're pleased to introduce the Smoke Grenade. Now you can grab a little extra protection when stranded out in the open with low power on your Nanosuit. It's also an excellent tool for sneaking past enemy defenses, or covering your retreat in an emergency situation!

 

Two new weapons are included in this pack, bringing a whole host of new strategy and tactics that can be employed.

So much for the even playing field in EA games anymore. Requiring people buy DLCs to get extra weapons.

You may have missed your chance to purchase shooter Crysis 2 on anything but EA's new Origin service, the re-branded EA Store that aims to go head-to-head with the likes of Valve's Steam platform. Crysis 2 has been yanked from Steam, with EA saying it's now available "only on Origin."

To be honest butt, I wouldn't even recommend this game for $5.00. The singleplayer is such a scripted snoozefest, I believe a person could literally die from boredom playing it. I really mean that. It sucks very, very badly. And yes, I stupidly bought it on day 1 for full price.

That bad eh? But I am a sucker for the $5 bin B) aka --> cheap bastard.

 

Sorry to hear you got a stinker. Really blows to go through that, for what they are asking for games these days. Guess w/ the problems Crysis had, and now this, one could expect the crysis franchise to be put to bed... But they'll probably wait 3-4 years to get a new group of unsuspecting consumers into the market, and pull the flimflam on em.

Hmmm I'm thinking steam have had a little strop due to the launch of origin. So glad the gaming community is represented by such classy companies. Next thing we'll see is McDonalds not serving Burgers because Burger King does too.

Another link for you, surfy: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/06/16/crysis-2-steam-removal-not-an-ea-decision/

 

“Steam has imposed a set of business terms for developers hoping to sell content on that service – many of which are not imposed by other online game services. Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis 2 from Steam.

That's the world of business. Makes me wonder if steam had the agreement in place before Origin and now EA broke it on purpose to make Valve / Steam look like the bad guy.

as C2 was such a turd in all aspects, especially in steam integration and master server outage

 

 

steam was smart to dump them

 

EA probably did let crappiness continue so steam would dump them and they could move to oralgin exclusive

 

picking between two evils...i'll take steam
