Can't wait! And its official!  :D

Who's with me when this is out? The new suit sounds so AWESOME!

---

I have to run crysis 1 at settings so low I dont find the game enjoyable, so until I upgrade my processor/mobo/memory...probably not

---

Looking forward to it! played the first one on low level too and then upgraded graphics card and played it again. I'm just hoping this card will be good enough to run Crysis 2 on High level.

Anyone know the minimum requirements?

I just got a 5850 but I still can only run on mainly medium and some low settings, and I still hit areas where I get <10 fps

Im def pre-ordering this!!  I hope BK get a server running for this when its out! I loved the original MP alot. The suit really made it. Now the suit is even more in depth! Or EPIC!!

Looks very cool - only downside I see is that it's only 6 on 6. I like having more people in the game.

The demo is now live for download!

OMG OMG OMG  

I just jumped in and started playing the MP this morning. I played for about an hour. All I can say is, if you haven't downloaded the demo yet, what are you waiting for??? This is so incredible! I now see why they only made it 6v6. You don't need that many players. Its all about the suit in this. Once you play it, you will understand. I ranked up my character to level 5 and stopped there. You can customize EVERYTHING!!  Your suit, weapons, abilities, etc. So many different ways you can go about it. You have to give this MP a shot. It is definetly worth it. Im am pre-ordering this game for sure!  
It runs extremely well too! I didnt change any of the graphic options when I first started and it ran perfect. NO LAG! I went back in and cranked my res up to 1920x1200 and still NO LAG! The graphics were set to GAMER.
The 2 maps you get are really pleasing on the eyes. So much detail!! Just beautiful! And they arent very big, so the 6v6 is just right.
Oh and there are also killstreaks I do believe. When the first map started loading, over the right you see what looks like an example of killstreak loadout. 3-radar, 5-radar jammer, 7-Ceph gunner(like cobra in cod i think). I havent figured out how the killstreak system works yet, but I will be playing this demo until the very last day your allowed to play it. So Im sure I will figure it out.

There are 2 game modes in the demo, team-insant action(TDM) and Crash site(kinda like HQ)

Do yourself a favor and go download this demo NOW! Give it a try!

Here are my sys specs that I am running so you can gauge it.

AMD Phenom II 945
8800GTX EVGA
8GB RAM
80GB SSD HD

Hope to see some BK members download this so we can play together!

Hey demonseed, have you played Crysis 1? can you compare the amount/lack of lag as opposed to the two games and how smooth they run. Because with my system I found that it would run pretty choppy with medium to low settings.

Yes I have played Crysis 1. I was running an older dual core sytem(intel),with an 8800gtx, and 4gb of ram. It ran pretty well for me. I did have to tweak it to get it to run smooth though. This MP demo seems to run much better compared to the first one. Only difference is that I now have a quad core cpu and more ram. I think if you left the graphics set to GAMER and just upped your res, you should be able to run this MP demo just fine.

Just played for about 45 min or so. I like it, the graphics are good. Fun game. However, the only different thing about it from COD or halo is the suit abilities. Otherwise it seems exactly the same.

It's extremely fast paced. You're always running around frantically, and so is everyone else.

Just played on Steam. Looks very good but the game play is COD run and gun. More of the same sadly. The single player should look epic.
