Crysis 2 Beta Invites Going Out, Still Xbox 360 Only

By Brian Leahy, Oct 13, 2010 4:00pm PDT

It appears that invites are being sent out for the Crysis 2 multiplayer beta, which was promised back in August. The beta has not started yet, but the email says it will be kicking off "very soon" (via Kotaku).

The first salvo of invites appear to be limited to those who signed up for the Crysis 2 community site. In August, Crytek and EA detailed the beta, which was to include two modes: "Crash Site"--a capture and hold gametype--and "Team Instant Action"--a standard team deathmatch offering.

The email details the beta as a "tech test" and reaffirms that it is Xbox 360 only "this time around". Let us know if you've received an invite in the comments.

Hope they didn't kill Crysis by making it cross-platform.

I mean it was pretty much the epitome of a "PC enthusiast FPS", right up there with Half-Life. After watching the tripe that gets banged out on consoles month in month out, you have to wonder...

I've played both the 360 and PC versions at expo's. Both are pretty buggy, but the PC version was much more stable. Also the 360 version currently looks pretty woeful, with awful textures and ridiculous pop-in. 6 of the consoles in the expo were also RRoD'd. I really think that this beta is just mainly to try and get the game to run at an acceptable level which it clearly isn't at the moment. The PC version looked much much better and had a rock solid frame-rate compared to the stuttering 360 version but it still suffered a few CTD's.

Shame, I built a computer to play crysis last year and was shocked at how good the open/close area gameplay was in crysis.

Its not open world like just cause 2 but its not linear like the standard console shooters. Crysis was great because you could attack objectives from many different angles.

I'm wondering if multiplayer will actually work on PC this time. I spend a few hours trying to get Crysis Warhead to NOT drop me from a game 30 seconds in, but I never could. Something to do with Punkbuster...?

Crytek is awesome, but they're no Valve.
