    That's so disappointing. I want to play this game badly, or at least the demo, and I would never download this leaked release EVER out of respect for Crytek. They are one of the best, most dedicated developer teams out there, they do not deserve this. They have revolutionized PC gaming with multiple titles, starting with Far Cry. It's a shame someone would do this to them, and I would gladly kick that persons *** for Cevat.
  3. It's funny how stories/articles come out. Who says leaked/pirated games have any real impact on sales? The manufacturer, some news article, some random company who projects random numbers of what could be sales? Pirating aka stealing has been around since the dawn of time, that isn't going to change anytime soon. People who love to blame PC for alot things must not realize that consoles get hacked,have mods and have cheaters. The difference is PC is global becuase it's been around awhile. While there are alot of consoles sold, not everyone goes online with them. The whole PC vs consoles is no different than Windows vs Mac. Mac doesn't get as many virus or hacks(yet) against it simply because the system(Linux) wasn't as widely used as Windows due to lack of support. Things are changing for Mac and getting more support every year. In time Mac will be no better than what Windows already is, some will say it is already there.

    When manufacturers stop making the hardware for hackers/modders, maybe then we will see change start to happen but I wouldn't hold your breath.

    Firstly I'm definitely not saying anything about what effect this will have, why it got out or where it came from.

    Now I am not a business/finance expert so please someone explain to me, preferably in the most basic possible terms exactly how Crytek could make a profit through dropping the PC platform. Besides forcing us all onto consoles over the next couple of decades I really don't see it. (and since when has a major international company chosen a large long term profit over small benefits/managerial bonuses today?)
  5. sorry? WHO LEAKED it? PIRATE or DAMN CRYTEK employee??!!!!!!!!

    Obviously a crytek employee. That becomes obvious to anyone who noticed that the game isn't out yet.


    SPOILERS AHEAD!



    It's a corridor shooter with inferior gameplay to the first game and no continuity. The graphics are definitely inferior when you put the games pictures side by side. At one point they are going to nuke NYC. Well as we all know in the first game a nuke causes an extreme gain in the aliens power. But Crytek said screw you to the first game and made it a consolized scripted game that is in no way a sandbox game.

    For the record I didn't DL it. I watched my friend Brad play through it today.
     
  7. This news makes me buying the game when it's out even if i'm not too much interested into it.
    Just for fighting this kinda destroying piracy.
    Hope they find who did this mess.

    Idon't donwload, and I'll buy the game.

    I don't think it will have that much of an effect on the PC sales. I don't believe there are many people who would cancel their preorder because of a leaked God-knows-how-and-if working build. Neither will it change most people's plans to buy the game imho.

    And Crytek can probably only blame themselves if it's an internal build.

    the game is a console port....CONSOLE PORT>>>>SCREW EM. I will never pay $60 to play DX9 and any so-called pc gamer that does has lost much respect. STOP PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR CRAPPY PORTS. I will never ever buy COD unless its on steam for $10.

    Crytek didn't leak it and i doubt dev leaked it bc their all going to prob get in trouble rite now even if they didn't especially in sale because now that their is multiplayer there is no point for hackers to buy the game. Maybe a clever janitor at there place stole the game from their computers and gave it to a tech savy friend or something like that, you never know. I do know they lost millions in sales so it's not on purpose.

    I have Far Cry, Crysis and Far Cry 2 in my modest collection of PC games. All were bought and paid for at the local computer store where I usually shop. When Crysis 2 comes out, I intend to go there and buy a boxed copy as well. I consider it as my modest personal contribution to PC gaming as well as part of my responsibility as a person to respect the rights of others over their property in as much as I would also like other people to respect my rights over my own property.
  13. I've said it earlier and I'll say it again. Crytek has no one to blame but themselves, whether it happened because of a disgruntled employee(why did they piss this person off, why didn't they keep an eye on him or fire him after they pissed him off), poor security measures on thier part(why the lackluster security, who has authorization for this type of information), done by some PC hacker(most likely pissed that they weren't even going to give the group that has made Crytek who they are today the decency of a freaking demo, now that I'm thinking WHERE IS THE FREAKING PC DEMO CRYTEK), or done deliberately(are they starting $h!t so they can have an excuse to get out of the pc market) they can only blame themselves and no one else. Hey Crytek, make sure when you go pointing the blame that you are near a wall of mirrors.

    Holier than thou much?

    This leak will not affect sales of the game. From what I hear, this version is crap. People will buy the game when it gets out, if for no other reason than because they've read so many of these almost violently anti-piracy comments. It's really quite amusing to read how far people take their arguments; the end of PC gaming? Get real. If Crytek wanted to leave PC, they would have done so irrespective of this leak. Similarly, if they wanted to stay, they wouldn't let this affect their decision. And, really, PC gaming is bigger than just Crysis. Black Ops' sales highlight just how little danger PC gaming is in.
  15. Don't be suprized when the nex crysis is console only game. Good work to the ******* that did this. Im sad now
  16. The world of PC hardware development is finished as Crytek are the only people making good looking games. Since it's been leaked they won't make games for PCs anymore. On top of this there will be no more hardware development from intel, amd or nvidia. right. is this some nerd version of the Mayan 2012 prophesy?
  17. OMG LOL
    Who cares everyone that planned on buying this game are still going too.

    The people that were going to DL it are still going too or have already.

    Just because X amount of people DL it doesnt mean they were going to buy it before it got leaked in the first place.

    Excuse me? Are you nuts? What exactly have you been smoking? Can I have some, so I can get ripped off and feel good about it too? Please?

    Seriously, it's people like this who give the already rich game companies stupid ideas to make more money. At our expense.

    I was going to write a long response about what an ***** you are, but I am actually too angry and I think I would break something if I stay here much longer contemplating the idiocy of that statement.

    Yah they did leak it. It was put on the EA servers and someone grabbed it from there.
