Let's see what kind of graphics the games YOU play hold, eh?
Nik, you are so god damn stupid I wanna slap you.
Is that a low res screenshot? THe second one posted. Because it looks worse than Crysis. Look at the frame of the window...looks crap. The game I'm playing at the moment even looks better than that (Two Worlds 2).
Just checked. It is on the internets. They werent lying. But I suspect anyone who receives or seeds this will get his ass sued quickly.

Here is a comparison between the two games.
The polygon count has taken the biggest hit compared to the first game, which is to be expected given the compromise made in consolizing
Even though this is a beta, the level geometry is likely final at this point.
This is probably the first game where the sequel looks worse than the game before it.
**Shakes Fist** at Pirate Downloaders and the person/people who leaked Crysis 2... these people are costing millions of dollars in sales that could have been put back into stimulating the economy from consumer spending!!! Now it'll take a bit longer for the economy to recover...:'(
I don't know how true it is or not, but on another forum I was reading and apparently this version is a Jan 2011 build and all the settings are locked at medium.
Hopefully that is true, cause right now it looks pretty average.
...and from an artistic standpoint, at least playing through lush jungles and vast expanses of green and fauna was really beautiful and easy on the eyes, making the gorgeous graphics that much more enjoyable.
It's hard to get excited about yet another romp through a decimated urban center of the future.
If I had a dime for every time I've done that in gaming... :\
One thing that people may be forgetting is that Crysis could be scaled down or way high (beyond the settings in the game). Since this is the same Crytek, I believe that it will be the same for this game.
Remember how much crap Crytek took because people with the 8800 GTX could not play it on maximum settings? We had that debate back then - "Should Crytek had labeled "High" as Very High/Max"?" and the result would have been? Well, the result would have been that it made all those people who love to see the sliders at max ok with the graphics card.
See, it really is just another way to look at it. Crytek may want to avoid that backlash this time because of all the enthusients which should have been happy with them for allowing those settings in game were not and were upset. I don't think they expected that, I really don't. They will likely avoid that. But fear not fellas... There will be INI tweaks which will allow you to turn things up higher, should Crytek decide to artifically limit the game engine.
Having talked to the developers I was left in little doubt not to expect any real graphic improvement over the original crysis. I was told 'gameplay' would be what it was about although it looked like a generic run and gun fps when I played it.
I think the screenshot is rather unimpressive as was the game when I saw it. It was running on a PS3 mind you BUT I was told not to expect much more from the pc version.
The screen shot is DX9. The leaked beta doesn't support dx 11.
Can you say "self fulfilling prophecy"??? Kind of ironic that crytek abandoned the PC exclusive platform because they claimed piracy was so bad, and now this happens. If one wanted to be cynical, they could say it was karma coming back to bite them.
However, I am strongly against piracy, and the pirating of the game makes me angry because it is just another reason for developers to justify abandoning the PC platform. Personally, I am not interested in the game, so I would not buy it anyway, unless it is for sale very cheap in a year or two.
Could not they at least add a patch that would prevent multiplayer use of the pirated game??
