Crysis 2 Multiplayer Demo for PC

Crysis 2 Multiplayer Demo for PC

Following the release of the Xbox 360 Crysis 2 multiplayer demo about a month ago on January 25, 2011, PC gamers can now try Crytek’s new first-person shooter. Not only the gameplay, but also the performance on your PC can now be seen directly in the multiplayer part of Crysis 2.

Nvidia has released benchmarks with different video cards, starting with the 8800 GT, which is hitting over 40 frames per second with the lowest quality and 1680×1050 pixels. The GTX 580, Nvidia’s best graphics card, is hitting over 140 FPS and even 70 FPS with ‘Hardcore Settings’. For all benchmarks, see Crysis-2-Benchmarks-by-Nvidia.

You can download this 1.6GB demo from many sources, like EA, Gamershell or Mycrysis, including two very different maps and two modes for up to 12 players. The first ‘Skyline’ map features some rooftop and indoor fights and the second named ‘Pier 17’ is also a mix of indoor and outdoor, but in a destroyed harbor. Both can be played as a Team Instant Action map, that is, the classic Team Deathmatch, or as a Crash Site map where you must capture alien drop capsules, as checkpoints, and defend them from the enemy team.

The full version of Crysis 2 will include six game modes and twelve maps with New York City as the setting, so you can play 72 different versions of the multiplayer. It also supports DirectX 9, DX10 and DX11. Unfortunately, the demo only supports DX9, neither DX10 nor DX11, so the full potential of the graphics has yet to be exploited.

So far there are some issues with the demo because the login server is overloaded at the moment. Login is required, so many players cannot play at this time. Crytek is working to find a solution at this time.

In the multiplayer part of Crysis 2, there will be 50 ranks to get, and if you buy the Limited Edition, in addition to other features, you will get a boost to Rank 5 right away. The system is quite similar to the leveling system in Call of Duty. With each rank you get different upgrades for your weapons and your Nanosuit. You will gain experience by killing the enemy team and in the demo you will be able to play up to rank 10. The release date of the PlayStation 3 demo is March 15, 2011.

Crysis 2 is released on March 24, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
