I can only watch the youtube video from work, but it looks very arcadey. This isn't a bad thing per say. I can, however, say whoever was playing were horrible. No awareness what so ever. I think the multiplayer will have a kind of mixture of gimmick and fps that Shadowrun had.

Well.. everyone was given xbox controllers to use.. AND.. nobody had played the game prior to this.. so I expect everyone sucked.

Being unfamiliar with a game and having zero situational awareness are completely different. The people who were standing still, picked terrible spots to stand, and were easily flanked by a single individual were bad. Most of the people that I saw killed in that video were not very good. And the player we were following wasn't either.

That video seemed scripted to me. It's as if everyone were told to where to go prior to the demoing.

Man, tweakboy and TechBoyJK are cut from the same cloth. You couldn't have posted this in any of the other dozen Crysis 2 threads that little PCG?
