Well from just the beta of BF3 I believe that I will find BF3 more enjoyable. Crysis2 is fine for one run-through, but I cant find myself playing single player again and multiplayer I didn't find very fun either.

However BF3 even with all the bugs(because it was a old version over a month old and I can almost promise will be fine on release) I still found it to be quite fun. I have high hopes for it and would feel confident in suggesting it.

Just going off what I experienced from crysis 1, crysis 2, battlefield 2 and a couple hours of battlefield 3:

Crysis is great for the story and battlefield is great for the multiplayer. I am for sure going to buy battlefield 3, unless it goes completely belly up.

Both BF3 and Crysis 2 run on Cryengine 3. They both run very smoothly on most systems even laptops you just may have to drop your screen resolution a little. If you have a really good PC there are direct links from the game for downloading DX11 and and upgraded texture pack. I played on laptop until I built my new PC (not for the game just time for an upgrade and I didn't need mobile PC any more)

Crysis 2 is fantastic graphically and playability, BF3 is the same minus the powers of the suit.

If you can get both, Crysis 2 for story and BF3 for multiplayer, the powers of the suit in Crysis ruin multiplayer in my opinion (just my opinion) you may like it.

If your not that bothered about graphics and you just want a PVP game there is a new version of counterstrike on the horizon.

Are you sure that Bf3 runs on Cryengine3, i thought frostbite2.0 for Bf3.

You are correct; I dunno what he was smoking

Yes my bad. I thought i'd deleted the whole of my 1st paragraph. I wrote about both engines then decided i didn't want to be in a debate about engines.

My basic point was aiming towards good playability on both engines.

Actually given the destructability, and the order in which it appeared in engines, I was half thinking that Frostbite could be a heavily modified/rebuilt cryengine, but I'd never heard that before, and i'm certain that would have been shouted from someones rooftop.

I suppose it would make sense for them to share information so they can put it all towards making the most lifelike engine and then splitting back into 2 teams to make the separate games / worlds. In contrast to that would it really end up being better quality or just time saved?

See, now debating engines lol

Too much proprietry stuff going on, it does encourage the 'best' to thrive though, very darwinian.

On the topic of Cryengine 3 and Frostbite 2.0, I don't think anyone can argue that both are superb game engines.

 

[rocky41]

Well even i dont want to start a debate about game engines!!!!!!
I will agree to the point that Cryengine 3 and Frostbite 2.0 are really superb game engines but i think Cryengine 3 is the best engine at present and only because Crysis 2 was a port from console we were not able to enjoy its real power.

If the PC game was made first on PC then it might have been the best looking game we ever had. But still it looks beautiful. At this point Frosbite 2.0 engine looks marginally better as it has been made to utilize the utmost power of our graphics card!!!!!!

If you are still looking..I'm having more fun in Battlefield Bad Company 2 than Battlefield 3. Crysis 2 is fun when I want science fiction. Red Orchestra 2 is very nice when I want a realistic WWII on line fps. Its hard and takes practice but its super well done. Battlefield I tend to play when I want something a little easier and less gritty. Hope you found what you're looking for.
