Ever since Far Cry, Crytek started losing the ability the create a complete game and the trend continues.
Where do I start? First, installation was sneaky, at no point prior, during and afterwards was I given the choice of drive/directory to install in, file size info was "hidden" as well. It's a 3GB download so not a capital offense but still, not cool.
Believe it or not, Crytek has now adopted a "no PC left behind" policy, anything can run the game and it shows. Maxed out at 1440p, the game still looks like a last minute port from xbox360.
Multiplayer: If you think bunny hopping is bad, you should see the abuse of the sliding move. Co op is actually the best thing about the game that is if there are no douches on the team trolling/grieving, since missions cannot be completed if they don't board the chopper and on the "safari hardcore" mission, you simply cannot complete if you don't start and finish with 5 fully cooperating players. Which is an issue even before the intial user base gives up it's already hard rounding up a full game.
If I hadn't played and just watched a youtube video, I would have mistaken it for COD on first look, watching any longer and I would think it's a bad clone worse than COD.
I don't know how this game will attract free, let alone paying gamers. I really think it won't make enough money to sustain the server costs.
