    Umm, why do they keep showing the console version? Where is the PC version gameplay video? Is it going to require non-existant tech so they cant show some gameplay video?

      atm, the PC version is only playable on theoretical machines.

      After watching this trailer I do not feel like buying the game anymore. It just reminded me of modern warfare 2 and not crysis 1.

      Devs almost always show the console version in trailers and gameplay videos.

          I don't even think the horrible-ness of this video can be atributed to consolization or gamepad controls. That just looked people who didn't know how to play playing on a horribly designed map. I have no interest in the multiplayer for this game AT ALL, if it is only this kind of boring trash.

      They were showing the PC version at E3 but claiming it was the 360 version and using a 360 controller. During one of the IGN interviews the game crashed to desktop and showed the windows 7 taskbar (so either it was a video, or the PC version)

        Showed everyone that all the console games are made on PC and thus, PC platform should also be available upon release...

        I'm just kidding, I know the process to test in various PC wont be that simple.

        Still though, when I see them doing this, it just makes me nerdrage more. Crysis 1 was awesome when it was shown, with all the gameplay video showing keyboard controls. I even bought Mass Effect 2 since they showed PC gameplay with keyboard and mouse. Why Crysis 2 is not doing this is beyond me, mouse and keyboard is not that hard to set up anyway. If they are indeed showing the PC version that uses Xbox360 controllers, at least show the interface so that we know what options are available...

        Also, no destructible environment for MP? Come on, BFBC2 can do it already :)
