"The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio," said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, adding "This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it's the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryENGINE 3. We are excited to have the support of EA Partners again as we work together to make the launch of Crysis 2 a huge event."

If they insist on the "Pirate Theory", then I hope they face the consequences and their console ports fail -- at least this will teach them to make games that gamers actually want. I think it has been proven time and time again that if a company makes a game that the people want it will sell great no matter how many people download it.
Crytek, dump the Pirate Theory officially and release this simultaneously on all platforms, please, and you will certainly get my $55.

IMO, even if they develop for the consoles, as long as they maintain their poor (lazy) coding habits and refuse to optimize their software. Any game they make will be steaming pile of horse excrement! (Though I'm sure some of you will buy it anyway...) All I can say is "NO Thank you!!" I'll support other companies who don't treat me like I'm some 13yr old with ADD...
Oh, and for the record, I have NEVER downloaded a copy of Crysis. And I did not buy it! I was marginally interested until I watched a friend run it on an Intel Skulltrail system, with SLI 8800GTX cards. So I contend that their claim that "they were writing this for computers 5yrs in the future" was a really a bad excuse. (It's a silly! Ludicrous!! Preposterous!!! Excuse...)
To put it succinctly this game was poorly coded, and completely un-optimized. It did, however, have "pretty graphics". But pretty graphics do not a good game make. Still it sold about a million copies, but Crytek soon realized that they didn't want to "fix it". So they drummed up the whole scam about it being pirated so they could cancel "support". After which they started working on "Warhead", which still doesn't perform that well. Though performance was supposed to be one of it's "design goals". Maybe you don't see a pattern emerging here... But I sincerely question whether ANY of Crytek's games will every be worth even trying.
Anyway that is my 5¢ worth. (end of rant...) I'll shut up now!

They need a new enemy to fight, or a total redesign on the aliens – enough of the flying squid sentinels.
They need a complete redo on the multiplayer aspect, what they have in Crysis just isn’t working.
For the PC.

i really like crysis, it ran well on my system and i consider it one of the best fps if not the best of the last few years (at least until the aliens bullshit). i praise it in almost every fps thread
but storywise i don't need a sequel (considering how much of a bullshit cliffhanger the first one ended i would probably care if the story itself wasn't worthless) and the whole alien setting is getting stale.
