Crysis 2 multiplayer demo now available on PC

PC gamers looking to get a taste of the upcoming FPS Crysis 2 can now download the game's previously announced multiplayer demo. The demo can be grabbed from Shacknews right now.
Players can square off in six vs. six matches on two New York City-based maps. The first map, Skyline, pits players against each other on the rooftops and interiors of destroyed Manhattan skyscrappers while the second map, Pier 17, throws players in an open environment as they battle between limited cover.
The demo has two modes, a team deathmatch variant dubbed Team Instant Action and a control point gametype called Crash Site.
Though some sharp-eyed Shackers found the demo earlier tonight, the demo is now available for all to enjoy. Crysis 2 arrives on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on March 22.

Good
-The graphics. While not a huge jump from the original Crysis, the lighting and the texture work both look noticeably better. Water still has a bit of a plastic sheen to it, though.
-The guns feel like they actually have some weight behind them. When you fire off one of the (somewhat limited) guns available in the demo it actually feels like they pack a punch. The sound is well done and they pretty much all handle how you would expect a gun of that class to handle.
-The unlock system is pretty well done, and you have a decent amount of options to customize your player. Still kinda burned out on the whole multiplayer unlocks thing, though.
The Bad
-The menus. From the "Press Start" button on the startup screen to the nausea-inducing tilting menus, the menus are god awful.
-Graphics settings don't let you tweak *anything*. You choose from "Gamer", "Advanced", and "Harcore". That's it. You don't even get to see what settings changes these options make. How can you release a PC demo with such limited options for video settings?
