@PCgamingTech I was not comparing it to crysis 1 fool i was comparing it to the console version of battlefield 3!!! And i waas not aware that you had the texture pack when shiped on pc

[PCgamingTech]

@sparkie1j I didn't say you were, I was saying that it looked even worse than Crysis 1 on release. And I stand by my assertion that BF3 maxed on PC blows Crysis 2 on consoles out of the water.

Crysis 2 doesnt need texture packs and everything and auto looks fantastic battlefield 3 needs to be played on pc at highest possible settings to look as good as crysis 2 on xbox or ps3

[PCgamingTech]

@sparkie1j Funny you should say that considering that on release, Crysis 2 looked practically worse than Crysis 1, and shipped with DX9. It also requires the high res texture pack to match even the original game, and the DX11 patch wasn't released until months later. Battlefield, on the other hand, came DX11 ready at launch and with good textures (on PC at least). Also, Battlefield 3 on PC kicks Crysis 2 on consoles in the ass.

effin black ops theme at 3:15 haha xD

[PCgamingTech]

@CapnKhater Yeah, it's a bit ironic in this context :D. It fits the theme of the video fairly well though.

@yuriXdanieru I'm not sure if you're just trolling here, but Crysis on consoles will never come close to Crysis on PC.

fine:

graphics:crysis 2

multiplayer:battle field 3

story:i guess a tie

game play:tie

Crysis 2 is much more realistic when it comes to environment, texture, characters and the thing that there is always spoken to you.. gives some extra feelings of reality.

Battlefield 3 is probably better at multiplayer, but when it comes to graphics... there is a sure winner.

@yuriXdanieru Ehm, your the fucking retard here. Console graphics will NEVER beat PC graphics.

[iGamingRecon]

Both games have the graphics to even make NASA Supercomputers lag.

Ok?
