Can't believe I messed up the title. ¬_¬  Any way of getting that edited?
 
Earlier today at EA's GamesCom 2010 press conference Crytek gave a live demonstration of a 6 vs 6 multiplayer match on stage. Here is the footage from gametrailers.

GAME MODES

Crash Site

Crash Site is a team-based game mode where 2 sides compete for control of Ceph Drop Pods launched periodically into the map by drop ships patrolling overhead. Teams score points by guarding the pods and keeping enemies at bay.

Team Instant Action

Team Instant Action is a standard game mode pitting 2 teams against each other. Kill as many opponents as possible, whilst attempting to minimize your own deaths. Use the Nanosuit to sneak up on enemies in Stealth mode, or charge in and gun them down in Armor.

NANOSUIT MODULES

Weapons Specialist Module

With the Weapons Specialist ability, the player can reload his weapons both more efficiently and quicker.

Proximity Alarm Module

With the Proximity Alarm module attached, the Nanosuit gives audio feedback whenever an enemy approaches. This allows the player to sneak up on or evade their attacker, depending on their preferred tactics.

Enhanced Visor Module

With the Enhanced Visor module attached, the Nanosuit prominently highlights all enemies whenever they are detected through digital scopes.

I wanna see pc version. 

So this is what Free Radical is working on instead of Timesplitters 4.... Huh.

Yeah, it definitely looks staged. Who woulda thunk the main guy would stay alive until the big bad chopper shows up! :D

 I feel like I am, once again, missing what is supposed to be so exciting about the Crysis franchise.

Looks good imo. I really enjoyed the crysis multiplayer.

The first one it was playing an FPS however you wanted in an open environment.

Watch some of NanosuitNinja's playthrough of the game to see what's exciting about it.

The multiplayer looks better than the single player. Not as good as crysis however still okay. Then I read in the comment section that it might be the pc version running with xbox360 controllers. I'm not 100% certain.

Looks like the beta for the multiplayer is going to be just for the 360 as well. Unfortunate for PS3 & PC owners, unless this is some timed exclusive 360 beta thing, but it'll give folks a chance to see for themselves what it's like.
 
Shacknews Article.

Reminded me of a map in Bionic Commando's (2009) multiplayer...  I actually wish they took the singleplayer suit and just gave players a rainbow spectrum to choose like in Halo. I didn't mind the mad script until the guy was shooting at nothing. Replay killcams are always welcomed for any arcade shooter.

I dream of the day when an ordinary typo gets accidentally copyrighted and is kept as the title of the IP. I want to play a game called Crfysis so bad.

I wanted to post this somewhere, this might as well be it.
 
 

Some cams of PC gameplay (note the smooth vision panning, keyboard and mouse control prompts) from Gamescom.  The second half of the first video is just the choreographed press conference footage from the OP's video.

Word from people who have played it at Gamescom is that the radial suit menu is no more.  Only way to switch suit modes is hotkeys assigned to each one.  Not too happy about that as I felt the Battlefield commo-rose-esque radial menu in the first game was a fantastic way to switch suit modes quickly and seamlessly, much better than hotkeys could ever be.  But, oh well.  Hotkeys work.

MP looks terrible. I don't get why games always strive to have a multiplayer no matter what (or conversely, why some people demand it from all games). It's almost always just taking the SP assets and plopping them into a generic deathmatch or CTF environment. Then, the MP lobby for that game will last 2 weeks if it's lucky. Some games are designed from the ground-up to be a predominantly multiplayer game such as Battlefield Bad Company 2, and they deliver a quality experience. Others have them either tacked on or in low quality. Crysis 2 seems to be of the latter.

Are you judging just from the press conference video in the OP's post?  Because that's just choreographed nonsense played by a bunch of guys who evidently have never controlled a FPS with a gamepad in their life. 

If you're judging from actual gameplay (like that in the cams I posted), I don't agree at all that it looks tacked on.  It does look complimentary to the single player counterpart of the game, but I think it still looks like a fully-featured, fully competent multiplayer.  The maps look well-designed, the guns look like they have weight to them, and the ergonomics look fantastic.  Keep in mind the game is also supposed to launch with 6 game modes across 12 maps, and will have persistent stats and weapon unlocking, suit mod unlocking, etc.

" @JP_Russell:  A massive complaint on the official forums, me included, was no hotkeys for suit controls so I guess they decided to address that but I'm not sure why they took away the radial menu. Must be a reason for it. "

Oh, well, yeah, I'd be all for adding hotkeys as an option for those that would prefer it.  Then you could just bind hotkeys and leave the radial menu key unbound, or vice versa.  It seems like that should have been the logical step to take there, not removing a control method that some didn't feel was ideal and others loved to death.  This is the PC, you can appease both parties.

That video is so riddicolous. Who the heck sits and aims at one of his bros with a sniper? Who the hell stands in the open like that? The video is either prerecorded or coreographed, and even then they can't make it look good? I wonder how much fun it'll be playing this myself. 
 
And I agree with you Geno, tacking on MP thinking it'll sell more is a horrible idea. Who the hell played Crysis Multiplayer? There is just no reason, there are hundreds of games that do multiplayer better, and the games strength laid in the SP component, the feeling of being a predator stronger than the enemy, while the MP was obviously just thrown in to sell more copies.

" @JP_Russell: I looked at both. The PC "free" gameplay looks better, but it's still nothing compared to say MW2, or BC2 multiplayer (and soon to be Black Ops and Medal of Honor MP). I've also seen nothing as of yet that would make it unique other than the player being able to jump from a high place and pound the ground. My point is, players will most likely play the MP for a few weeks at best before ditching it and going back to their staple online FPS. I don't see why they are putting so much development effort into it, and in a broader sense, why people feel that all games require some sort of MP functionality to be complete, regardless of how unnecessary it is (thus compelling developers to make one).   I loved the original Crysis to death but the MP was garbage. Though this seems like an improvement, as of yet it doesn't seem to best any of the already established shooters on the market, nor does it seem to provide anything unique enough to warrant playing it over them. Therefore the development of the MP mode at all in this game seems futile, unless people are actually so numb-minded as to be satisfied by playing what looks like a reskinned and inferior version of already present online shooters.  "

1080p cam of PC gameplay, gives a much better sense of the visual fidelity than the others I posted.

Of course it's staged. It's a demonstration, after all. Point is, it looks great.

" @Jack268:  The multipler is being developed by Crytek UK, separate from the rest of the game so they are putting effort in to it not just tacking it on. Lots of people played Crysis multiplayer, just because it isn't a Modern Warfare or Bad Company doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. I don't think there should be that many multiplayer games but Crysis has some interesting modes. "

I'm sorry if I come off as a douche, but this presentation made the MP look worse than the Halo 1 demo MP. I know there were people playing Crysis 1 MP, but I just can't understand WHY. If someone could explain WHY Crysis MP was better than any other FPS on the PC, I'd love to hear it. "

Also, what happened to Crysis multi-player being built around massive maps that allow you to really experiment with your suit powers. 
 
Then again, it seems like both the single and multi-player have been narrowed down to a startling degree.

Who said Crysis MP was better than other FPS on the PC? "

I don't understand why people would want to play the MP that's worse when they have the option to play something better. "

You can't quantify an experience based purely on some judgement about which is better than the other. Even if most FPS multiplayer games use a very similar forumla they have their own variations and differences (how the guns feel, level design, gameplay modes etc). There is so much difference that makes playing more than one game worthwhile. Just like there are reasons to play Left 4 Dead 1 over Left 4 Dead 2. You can't replace 1 experience with another and expect it to be the same. Games don't work like say food, or drinks. There are too many variables. "

I know this, I'm just saying that to me, pretty much every multiplayer FPS experience on the PC is better than Crysis's. Crysis just isn't fit for multiplayer. But I suppose we'll see if they made it better in Crysis 2. I still feel a coreographed presentation of a multiplayer component is weak. They could as well have put bots with scripts telling them how to act instead of having 10 germans riddicule themselves. "

And that is the difference. I highly doubt you'll be able to pull off maneuvers that are that complex and that quick in Crysis 2, and that's why I'm less than excited for it, even though I loved the first game and Warhead. "
