I have tried a bit of it. The demo plays fine although somewhat off.

Similar to Jeff in that I never really got into Crysis, a marvel in graphical leaps, but the game itself didnt grab me despite several attempts to try it out.  
 
Crysis 2 seems more interesting because its in a city, so waiting to see more singleplayer then the multiplayer which seems pretty standard.

Looks pretty good-ish, but very derivative of every other shooter on the market. That's why I hope the single-player at least sticks to the Crysis original idea of being able to approach objectives in several different ways, over enormous, open-world type levels.

Thanks for recording this quick look. The demo is completely broken for me. I've tried two dozen times (wired and wireless) and get disconnected every single time before it actually starts.

You seem to be having the same problems as me, some lag issues and innacurate kill cams. I hope they fix it because by god, that cry engine...

I enjoyed the demo enough but once I stopped playing didn't really feel any compulsion to go back to it. Pretty unbalanced as far as the melee goes as well, getting medals for least shots fired and still coming top of the table, don't even need to be particularly clever about it.

Never played Killzone, but this reminds me an awful lot of the Fear 2 multiplayer.

You sure it's not your connection? I have probably the worst internet I've ever dealt with (it took over 12 hours to download this demo) and when I started playing I never experienced lag or got disconnected.

Yes! 32nd!!!!  
 
edit - This is a game that looks good, feels pretty nice too. Everyone seems surprised that multiplayer games are edging towards COD style all the time - here's the facts, COD sells MILLIONS of units, these guys want to also sell millions of units. Why put themselves out of a whole load of sales by making the multiplayer far removed from whats actually popular at the moment? 
 
Thats like releasing a platforming game without a jump button, it's madness.

Oh Jeff...shooting two rounds and then reloading all while the enemy is standing 6 feet away and shooting at you. Talk about obsessive reloading =P

I got bored of this pretty quickly. Graphics looked great apart from the peeling effect when adding distant graphics. Just hope the single player is cool

 Hmm, might have been an idea to spend a few more minutes with these demos before you shot QLs. A good deal of misleading information, and missing out on some pretty basic stuff like the parkour and dog-tag system. Was the same thing for the Bulletstorm demo too. 
 
Not that I expect you to spend hours with a demo before you shoot it or anything :P Just sorta used to abit higher quality from you guys =)

Really annoyed by this QL, they should of waited till Brad got at least to rank 5, by then he should have learned how to play and if not at least would be able to show off the unlocks. 
 
Also really surprised by the lack of jumping in those matches.

Hold A to jump high.
 
It's cool how the powers are simplified for multiplayer, going to be fun jumping around buildings flipping powers and doing what you generally don't do in shooters.

This really confused me. Both Jeff and Brad took the time to turn and walk up stairs, when I find the acrobatic nature of the multiplayer really interesting. They manage to make 1st person vaulting and climbing up objects really good. It changes the pace of the multiplayer a lot.

I did not enjoy this at all. It controls poorly and feels like a copy of Killzone and Call of Duty. Not fun.
