I actually never saw any AI glitches at all. Granted, I was too busy blowing Crap up to notice or care :P

I still come across the occasional squid or trooper that wants to try to walk through a wall. That is, until I snipe it/him in the head. Then it/he wants to fall down.

really nice review showing how older hardware and newer hardware (including comparing nvidia to amd and intel to amd) all using Crysis.  With no dx11 patch out yet, this is dx9 only right now.

For me personally, it's just nice to see where my Q6600 and radeon 4850 is at in the lineup of newer silicon.

Running on my dual-core and 8800 and the game runs fine at 1680x1050 as opposed to the article saying dual-cores struggle. Probably due to tweaking it a bit with that launcher program. In fact, I changed the graphics to the highest setting in-game and it still runs fine.

Eh, whatever.

Err those numbers are seriously off compared to what I experienced. I mean, I know my RAM is higher than what most gaming PC's have, but it shouldn't have made THAT much of a difference. I have the GTX 460 1GB, and the Phenom II hex. From what that article says, Crysis 2 only uses 4 of the cores. I ran the game at the highest possible settings (including the AA/AF) @ 1920x1080 and I had to turn vsync on due to the tearing, which means I was getting at least 60fps. According to that article I should have gotten half that performance. Sooooo does 16GB of ram really boost performance that much? (wouldn't think so)

Version 1.7 of the tweaker program is out. He added more options.

I just beat the SP campaign and I'm actually pretty satisfied with the "ending" of it. You can tell that they're going to continue the story and it's turning out to be one hell of a sci-fi/action pc game. Technical "shortcomings" aside, I'd say it's worth $50 of the $60 cost because I can forgive certain things if the story is well-written and presented. Voice acting ain't half bad, either.

The AI is a bit easy to get around on "normal" difficulty, however. The final fight in the game against *SPOILER* the 4 cloaked hunters was super easy as all I had to do was hide in the pipe that I entered the area from and snipe their heads off. You'd think that for elite soldiers who follow you around during the entire game, they'd figure out to attack you when you have a limited range of movement, instead of standing around in an open area. Hell, even the regular shock troopers were programmed to fire off their personal short-range EMP blasts while roaming around a piece of land.

However, there is ONE major knock against this game. In Crysis1 you could pick up a chicken, go max-strength mode and punch said chicken miles into the ocean. MILES. In this game, there is no max-strength mode and there certainly aren't any chickens. Any game that lacks that level of chicken punching is... well, it leaves an empty spot in my heart.
