Crysis 2 is the real deal

[TheBeagle]

Now I haven't started the single player campaign, but just on merits of MP, this game is batshitastic and addictive as all hell. I know ziggy and maybe some others are big Halo guys, but this is the way Halo MP should've always been. Badass Nanosuit is just badass, and like all good MP, you can customize it to suit your style of play, whether that be, run and gunner, stealth, or some combination. And the maps (13 in total) are versatile and great as well...not to mention the graphics.

COD4 will probably always be my alltime competitive MP fave, but this could take its place.

I'm getting an XBox 360 within the next week, but it will be a while before I catch up the playing ability of you guys. (Not to mention I'll be playing older games for a while.) I'll try to get up with you guys online over the summer.

Awesome!

The boy and I are still heavily into Halo Reach (we're hot after the lightning armor) so make sure you get a copy of that...can be had for around 40 bucks. We'll kick ass together.

I wish I could be like you guys and move on from game to game...but we've pretty much been locked into Reach since we got the boxes last Xmas. I did buy Black Ops for the daughter but I've never played it.

When the interest finally wanes I'll give Crysis 2 a shot. Beagle's opinion is no trifling matter.

Halo? More like Gaylo.
Gaylo? More like Failo.

Halo is overrated imo, far far far far overrated by Microsoft fanboys.

While I understand what you mean, I also know that video games incorporate a variety of things that make an experience valuable to individuals. If the game immerses the player and keeps them returning to the game, I don't really see how it is overrated, especially since this isn't a top 10 list of best games or anything.

Beagle, your review speaks volumes.
After I plow through the remainder of Bulletstorm, Crysis 2 and/or Portal 2 are next on my list.

i dont even play fps games online anymore for the most part though. cant afford to drop 60 dollars every 3 months for the newest greatest online game so nowadays I'm playing Bioshock that I just bought for 10 dollars and coop lego star wars complete series with my friends. (lol if you want but its damn fun)

honestly ive found it to be a lot more fun and relaxing than the whole competitive scene used to be. I'll probably go back and drop 20 more dollars and get fallout 3 and mass effect and never go on xbox live again.
