Crysis 2 'Pre-Launch' Multiplayer Demo Coming to PC

January 28, 2011 6:15 AM

EA and Crytek have activated "Maximum Good Will" with PC gamers, revealing a multiplayer demo in inbound to PC for Crysis 2.

Word of a demo for the previously PC-exclusive franchise came from Twitter. A message from the official Crysis account reads: "At this time, Crytek & EA are glad to confirm that we'll be releasing a pre-launch Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on PC! Stay tuned for details." Shacknews has contacted EA to see if we can capture some of those details early.

An open multiplayer demo is currently available on the Xbox 360; however, users have detailed a handful of issues hindering their enjoyment, ranging from freezing to difficulty finding matches.

Crysis 2 launches on March 22 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Great news, now if it sports DX11 as well, then shit I will be floored.

I have been trying to play the 360 demo but can never get into a game I keep getting dropped.
