Crysis 2 Beta

The Crysis 2 Beta hit Xbox Live exclusively on January 25th. The Beta is 1.80Gb and multiplayer only it runs off the CryEngine 3 at the moment it has two playable gamemodes Team Instant Action a Team Deathmatch mode and Crash Site and objective based mode. The multiplayer has one playable map called SkyLine and the player has 3 killstreaks, for 3 kills the player gets Maximum Radar, 5 an Orbital airstrike and for 7 a Ceph Gunship the killstreaks can only be earned however if the player collects the enemies dog tag from their body.. The game has 10 available ranks and 1 weapon from each class usable and unlocked as you progress. Gameplay wise it is a cross between Halo physics and Call of Duty play with fast deaths and overall pace. It also shares a similar armor ability system to the Halo Reach, each ability including sprinting a jumping uses up energy which is displayed with a bar out of 100. At present their are only two abilities Cloak for invisibilty using the right bumper and power armour using the left bumper for increased resistance to damage. At present the only major issues with the games are the frames dropping when certain actions are done such as meleeing and the game freezing on load up or more rarely during the game. This will certainly be one to watch for the future to see what Crytek add. The game comes out in the UK on March 25th for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC with normal and limited editions.
