Crysis 2 Demo Ending on PS3 Soon

EA and Crytek will be shutting down the PS3 version of the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo soon, due to issues surrounding server connection delays that have been marring the experience for some players.

"Thank you for your interest in the PlayStation 3 version of the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo," reads a statement on EA.com's Crysis 2 Blog. "Though many gamers have had a great experience playing the demo, we are aware that others have been experiencing server connection delays. We’ve identified the root cause and have decided to close the PS3 demo in the next 24 hours to ensure all issues are resolved when the game launches next week. Our priority is to ensure that the final product is flawless at launch."

Well, if closing the demo down means that Crysis 2 on PS3 is flawless, then it surely can't be a bad thing. You'll be able to get your hands on the full version of Crysis 2 on March 22nd in North America and March 25th in Europe.

@6

BETAS & Demos are 2 different things, So i dont know why you mentioned Killzone .. That shit was spectacular IMO. As for the Crysis DEMO, I was a bit dissapointed that I only been able to play ONE game since the DEMOS been out, Which sucks, But as much as I hate EA, I cant stop myself from getting this Day 1.

@7 Number 6 has a point though. The DEMO clearly stated on the title screen that it was not necessarily an accurate representation of the final product (thus making it a BETA more or less).

I've already pre ordered this, because Crytek have announced that they want the experience to be flawless upon launch. If it is, I'll have spent my money wisely.

Personally I didn't have any problems with the demo at all so I'm gutted they have pulled it. Ok, the visuals aren't terrific but I am reserving judgement for the finished release. I found the actual game itself really enjoyable and there looks to be a lot of unlocks, etc to keep me interested :) Wasn't going to pick this game up until I played the demo and now I can't wait

It generally took me a while to find a match, but other than that I enjoyed it.

Got into a match 1 time and what I did get to play I enjoyed. Hopefully they'll have this fixed by the time the game is released.

@9 about 99% of demos reliease before the game state that it may not be a accurate representation of the final product, they only put that in so they cover there asses in case they make a drastic change

The demo has been released just a few months before the actual release of the game.


It shouldn't have many bugs.


Just look at KZ3 MP.. it's having a lot of issues for many players.

So, anyone that says this is a repetition of KZ3, you have a point.

people seriously need to know the difference between a DEMO and BETA before posting a comment.

KZ3 MP was an open BETA, i would have been surprised if there weren't any bugs.

and crysis 2 is coming out next week, so why is it only now they are discovering these problems?...maybe they should of had an open BETA as well, they would have found these bugs sooner.

i don't blame people for changing their mind and not getting it.

@22: Easy decision, even with other console games also on PC.

@19: I had the same hope for MoH, but improvements to the beta version were lacking. Hopefully Crytek does a better job than DICE did with improvements to their respective betas/demos.

As the the demo itself: I wasn't blown away, and did have some trouble getting into matches but it wasn't nearly as bad for me so far as it was with KZ3.

Does anyone know if stats will carry-over from the demo to the actual game?
