The time has come for PC and Xbox 360 gamers to take their best shot in Crysis 2 multiplayer. Now available for download, the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo includes two stunning maps, two adrenaline-filled modes, and hours of multiplayer action. In the demo, PC and Xbox 360 gamers will master the game's signature Nanosuit, which allows them to be strong, be invisible, be fast and become the ultimate weapon.

Players will compete in six vs. six matches set against a war-torn Manhattan in two maps: "Skyline", set on top of the rooftops and interiors of skyscrapers, and "Pier 17", an open environment with limited cover. The demo also features two modes: "Team Instant Action" pits two teams against each other as they kill as many opponents as possible to win the round and "Crash Site," where players will battle for control of alien drop pods, earning points by guarding their pods and keeping enemies at bay.

For more information on the two maps included in the demo, you can check out MyCrysis.com's "Map Focus" feature on Pier 17 and Skyline.

Nanosuit abilities and weapons

NANOSUIT: The Nanosuit is very powerful and gives you special abilities.

Be Strong: This ability will allow you to enable the Nanosuit armor. It will also allow you to take more damage and deal a whole lot more pain to your enemy using melee.

Be Fast: You will be able to run faster and jump farther. If you can gain a height advantage on your enemy, jump toward him or her and while in mid-air use the air stomp, which deals severe damage. Also, while sprinting, you can slide on the ground and shoot your weapon simultaneously. Slide to cover or slide into action – you decide!

Be Invisible: Enabling this Nanosuit ability will allow you to become virtually invisible to your enemies. Use this to stalk your prey and they'll never know what hit them. Be careful though – if you shoot your weapon or use the melee action, you will become visible.

Be the Weapon: You are an advanced weapon. Though you will have various guns at your disposal, don't forget that your suit is a viable killing machine. Just watch that battery meter to make sure you're always keeping the suit powered up.

WEAPONS: There are four primary weapons available in the demo.

SCAR: Introduced in 2018 and manufactured by US-based Scrutch Industries, the SCAR is now the standard-issue assault rifle for all US Forces. Utilizing advanced rifle cartridges that are smaller than the previous 5.56mm rounds, the SCAR offers increased ammunition storage per-magazine with zero impact on combat effectiveness. Field tests confirm that it exceeds its predecessor in almost every area, from muzzle velocity through flight stability to terminal ballistics.

Jackal: Designed from the ground up for military purposes by upstart company Bishop Ballistics, the Jackal is a heavy-duty combat shotgun in every sense of the term. While its competitors are based on civilian market models, the main concept behind the Jackal is accurate, low-recoil, rapid-fire delivery of 12 gauge shotgun rounds downrange in an urban combat zone.
