So it's out today. Has anyone taken the plunge? Is anyone going to? I want to get it, but what with it having a console feel this time around I'm not too sure about it unless the single player story is action-packed. After all, that's $60 for a PC title.

There's also a rumor of DX11 support after/when Nvidia's GTX590 launches, but I can't confirm anything solid. If the team is willing to add in a feature with a patch, then it makes me lean towards wanting to get it. After all, BC2 was a port and it was damn fun.

I'll get buy it. I already have the engine SDK though, it's keeping me more than entertained.

does it allow ou to make your own maps as easily as the cryengine2 did?

Hmm... couple reviews pretty much give Crysis 2 overwhelmingly positive scores. It's got glitches, like enemy AI crap, but overall it's supposed to be a very cool time to be had by all. Maybe I'll pick it up this weekend. Maybe.

Their power level was over 9000?

niiiiiiiiiiiiice. That didn't take long.

Well, I did buy it with the $50 in best buy dollars that I was going to use on a gtx460.... but best buy didn't have any of the 460's on the shelf, so Crysis2 was the next choice.

It's pretty cool. Also, the base detail level of "high" (out of high, very high and extreme) runs smooth as silk on my machine at 1680x1050. I don't regret buying it so far. Will have to test the other detail levels as it's still a dx9 game.

saw no options in multiplayer for starting your own server. is this another hosted server shindig?

What I like best about the SP is the sense of depth and scale. The instant I actually got INTO the city at the start of the game, I was taken aback by how the buildings actually looked like tall buildings. Like I could go onto each floor and everything would be to scale.

Enemy AI needs work, though. I see what the reviews are talking about. I can create a diversionary tactic by shooting a red barrel to draw troops away from me and they act accordingly, but from time to time I get that one or two "short bus" trooper that runs in a small circle as if it's the greatest thing in the world. DAAAAH CIRKLE!!!!
