So far only
Xbox Live subscribers have been able to play Crysis 2's multiplayer demo. On March 1st that will change as PC gamers will get a chance to put on the nanosuit and climb into the upcoming shooter from Crytek.
Earlier this week Electronic Arts announced the upcoming PC demo, which will include six-on-six multiplayer battles, "Skyline" map which takes place atop and inside several New York City skyscrapers, "Pier 17" map, an open area on the Manhattan waterfront, and two game modes: "Team Instant Action" and "Crash Site." "Team Instant Action" pits two teams against each other as they kill as many opponents as possible to earn higher ranks. In "Crash Site," players will battle for control of alien drop pods, earning points by guarding their pods and keeping enemies at bay. Developed by Crytek UK, Crytek's specialist multiplayer studio, Crysis 2 multiplayer will include six gameplay modes and 12 maps set across recognizable locations in New York City. Throughout the campaign, players can earn up to 50 multiplayer ranks and a variety of different upgrades to their weapons and their Nanosuit.
Gamers who pre-order Crysis 2 will receive a copy of the Limited Edition of the game which includes bonuses such as a camouflage skinned SCAR assault rifle and early access to the Holo Decoy attachment, a weapon attachment that projects a moving holographic mirror of the player. Platinum Dog Tags displaying a player's multiplayer rank and stats will also be available with the Limited Edition along with a Bonus XP award which can be used to boost a player's rank.
Built on Crytek’s new state-of-the-art multiplatform game development system, CryENGINE 3, Crysis 2 will be available for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and PC on March 22, 2011 in North America and March 25, 2011 in Europe.
