you can grab it here: http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/1/demo

About damn time. Now I can play it and not feel bad. Yoink.

Oh, and grabbing at a solid 1.5megs off the EA servers. Glad I got home from work when everyone else was heading TO work.

im third shift too

Also available on Steam

Wow, so this completely and utterly sucks so far. I was logged out of the game at least 5 times, none of the North American servers I tried worked at all, and the one Euro server I was able to join I got dropped from because of the aforementioned logouts. In the pre-game chat, there were people saying to press the Ready button, but there was no Ready button to be found anywhere that I saw. WTF is going on!?

Way to go EA! Another fine quality product you've put out.

I was able to log into a server no problem. I left the game detail level on "gamer," picked a server with a ping of 93 that wasn't full (I filled the last slot) and went about my business. It ran damn smooth and I got killed a few times without doing any killing due to my lack of experience with the available gun.

Like: Ease of use. Press a button, turn invisible. Press a button, get armor. Jump and press a button, smash the ground like Hulk. It lends itself well to fast multiplay matches.

Dislike: Ease of use. "Easy" settings for detail levels (not all pc gamers are that goddamn stupid). Suit powers are limited this time around.

Will give this a few more runs, but I'm more focused on my DoW2 expansion. No Tau yet though, so I GUESS that I can deal with the brutal Blood Ravens.

That's console-itis for ya. Hold down the trigger button and you get your scope. Why should mouse and keyboard have it any easier, right?

I was able to connect and play but I dont like how ya can't toggle zooming down the scope. Ya have to hold the button down. Lame.

I'm kinda used to it since I was playing alot of borderlands since I got general knoxx's armory expansion. you're right though, it is a bit of a pain to hold the aim, shoot, and try to move with your target.

I haven't had the start problem but there are other things about this game that im not fond of.  It kinda feels like UT3.  the graphics look nice but dont feel dynamic like they did in crysis.  Smallish linear maps where crysis had large outdoor envirnments.  the demo isnt all bad but just not what i was expecting and hoping for.
