Crysis 2 will be available to play very soon in a new multiplayer demo for Xbox Live subscribers. Just like the multiplayer beta before it, this demo will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. Crysis 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the ridiculously good-looking Crysis, which even to this day brings modern rigs down on their knees.

This demo will most likely cement my decision on which platform to purchase it with as I'm currently debating between the PC and Xbox 360[...]

I've never played Crysis, but from the multiplayer demo trailer I thought it looked awesome and downloaded it. I've only played 3 online games so far, but it was awesome. I did pretty good I thought, coming MVP in one and close to top on the other 2. Seems very balanced, don't think I can say anything bad about it. Will almost certainly be getting it when it comes out.

Yeah so far my initial impressions have been pretty good. It doesn't look as good as I thought it would (in motion at least) so that's a bit dissappointing. Also I love the fact that to get your killstreaks you have to collect the enemy's dog tags. Oh and the armor ability is awesome and a must-use in my book (stealth isn't as useful)

Yeah I thought it looks very perculiar at first but thought it looked pretty good after a couple of games. Didn't realise you needed dog tags for killstreaks, probably explained why I've only earned one so far :P
Is the armour ability LB? If so what does that do exactly? :P I used the cloak one a bit, and it can come in handy at times but luckily isn't too powerful or it'd be so abused.

Yeah LB is the armor ability, basically gives you more health/armor. Stealth is actually really hard to detect when someone is sitting still and I've had a lot of people smack me in the back because of that

Ah OK, I'll be sure to use that :P
Yeah I've been killed by a couple of people chilling in corners using stealth, bit annoying, just means we'll have to look very carefully moving around corners... I would say it's the same as the camo loadout was in Halo Reach.
You managed to get an air stomp kill yet? I really want to get one but all my attempts so far have failed unfortunately :P

Haven't been trying to get one and totally forgot about that ability. I'll see if I can get it the next match

I found it quite hard on the one map the demo has to offer, there are a couple of spots it would be possible from but it's rare that someone's there and you're not getting shot.
 
Gunna download this when I get home but I'm nearly certain I'll be getting the PC version. Wish that developers would allow crossplatform play already
 
Well, I've hit max rank for pretty much everything already (Level 10, power 3, armour 3, stealth 3).
Damn fun.

The demo is 1.8GB which is kinda annoying on a 4Mbit/s connection :(

Unlucky :P

On another note, I have noticed some lag issues with this game... Even when I'm host. I played several games in a row where I was host, and people manage to move for at least a second after dying, people are actually in different places to where I see them, and just weird stuff like that.
Other than that, no complaints so far.

Shits taking forever to download on my end too.

Weird, it was really fast for me, but that was when most americans were probably asleep. Probably a lot of people trying to download it at the moment.
 
To be honest, I'm not liking the MP demo so far. The draw distance seems tiny in comparasion to the original, the controls feel slow and clunky and it took ages to find a game. Just my thoughts so far. It's really annoying having objects appear randomly out of nowhere. At least we've an idea of what PS1/N64 era games would have looked like without fog. :P

Draw distances suck for sure and the hit detection is also off from what I've played. I can't imagine how it would be with 3D enabled
