Okay, am I doing something wrong? Are there some missing suit features I was not told about? I thought I was supposed to be this super-soldier with this suit that protects me from literally anything. Why is it that the second I stick my head up, everybody in the immediate vicinity opens fire on me with one-hundred percent weapon proficiency? How come I can only take five or six bullets before I'm nearly dead? Why is it when I take out one guy with a silenced pistol, everybody in the area is immediately aware of my exact presence? What happened to being unstoppable? What happened to opening fire and taking everybody out with no problems?

I want to power jump off a fucking roof and land on a dude, and then grab another dude, throw him into somebody else, and then shoot this other dude in the face with a shotgun, and kick this car into this group of other dudes, all in a matter of like, ten seconds. I don't understand the point of Nanosuit 2.0 in Crysis 2. This thing is supposed to make me powerful and awesome. Instead, I find myself uselessly kicking cars, getting taken down in five or six shots, hiding behind cover like a little bitch, and the armor and stealth to be entirely useless.

I beat the game on the highest difficulty setting, and never really encountered any of those problems. Maybe it's just you.

Yea, the AI is pretty busted. Sometimes they would spot me through walls when I uncloaked and once a guy fucking spotted me through two stories of concrete. 
However that's pretty much my only complaint. I though the game was very good, especially when you get the mobility enhance and nano recharge abilities. 

Use my tactic, use cover, uncloak, shoot and run back to it just incase, disspear shoot them in the head. This would get you though normal and hard.

When you get better, since i'm almost done the most difficult level, cloak, walk out of cover, uncloak to shield, shoot them in the head only (not sure if it's easy with a console controller), cloak, move, repeat until everyone is dead or run to cover to recharge. This would get you though post human warrior. I find single shots are better against the cell soilders than full auto. Aliens vice versa or use a sniper.

Honestly this isn't call of duty, you have to think.

Use more skill.

You are missing the point of the game. Yes you do get additional suit functions and upgrades throughout the game. Yes it suprised me about things worked and you described it well enough, I think the explanation lies that the human enemy has means to track you outside of stealth. But you often have to use stealth to get in position to do the things you are talking about, and many times stealth to dissappear after you have done them. Sorry! I adjusted and in time with the functions and upgrades, I learned, though those upgrades wern't the most exciting improvements they could have been.

 But I didn't resent all that, I was still in the relative sense the strongest player out there. It was rather that the Aliens were so weak, and in turn they depended on heavies. Yes the combination added up, and a better enemy alien came in late in the game, Still, I enjoyed it all, I just chalked it up to the game making me work a little.

Whoa, what the hell. Did you expect you're going to be invincible? Not to mention that you weren't a god Crysis and Warhead either.

I agree on the stealth part though, I really wanted to play stealthy when facing human enemies, I even waited and listened to the radio responses until I took someone out, and really planned who am I going to kill and whatnot, but as soon as I killed someone they automatically knew that someone is down.

Yeah I've got the same problems with the game, in the end I gave up on it because of this but mostly because of the lousy checkpoint system which would take me back 20 minutes because I can't seem to do anything without getting my ass kicked.

I'm addicted to this game. I bought Crysis 2 on day one, and had it for about 2 or 3 weeks. Played through the campaign on normal; dabbled a little bit in multiplayer, then traded it in and got half my money back. After a few days however, I got a urge to play it some more. So I got it again through gamefly, now I'm playing it non-stop. As Jeff mentioned a few times on TNT back in March, the gameplay is unique and different enough to set it self apart from the saturation of other FPS. This game in a slow burn, but it eventually gets under your skin. The 2nd half of the single player is better than the first, and the multiplayer only gets better after you play it a bunch, and upgrade your suit, and weapons.

I took down at least 20 dudes in a row while using stealth. Not one was alerted to my presence. I don't see why this is not applicable for others, other than maybe you are not playing like a stealth god...

If you want to use stealth, the idea is you need to be stealthy.

It seemed to me that even if you did kill a guy 100% stealth, the other guys in the area always seemed to be aware of it and came over.  Like a radio check was used all the time right after I killed someone.  I did think the AI could spot you a bit too easily when you was hiding behind semi-cover at a distance. 

I did just beat the game on super soldier and generally had a great time.  Thou, I wouldn't recommend super soldier for someone looking to have a lot of fun as it can be a challenge at times.  I thought the worst part of the game was the story.  I was really bummed that I fought against humans for 2/3 of the game.  I thought this was supposed to be the alien invasion damn it.  Would have been nice to have a segment where I was a gunner on a gunship or whatever they call their air units.

Anyway, to the TC... if you could kick all that ass in 10 seconds, what challenge would the game be?  You want the AI to have some cheap way of countering your suit?  I think you are wanting too much from a game that does try a bit to stay grounded instead of being some total bs impossible thing.  Hell, I would love a suit that makes me run fast, be cloaked, survive bullets and long drops.. ect ect.

You can take them out no issue, once you learn to use the nanosuit.  It sounds like you just have to learn to use the stealth/armor combo more effectively.  The whole point of the game isn't you being some unkillable god you are one random marine with a high tech suit. 

Try playing Prototype if you want god mode. That seems to be what your expecting from this game.

Did you try pressing the win button?
 
You have to use stealth, don't fight it...
You are not a god in this game, you just have a high tech suit that gives you the upper hand over sayyyy... human skin.

Yeah, I know. I was just commenting you because we talked before and I agree with what you said, haha.

Having spent a little time with this game (and watching Hamster's amazing walkthrough) it seems that this game wants you to use stealth ALL THE TIME! because some sections you get found out, you are just fucked, because Hell's army just comes pouring out and everyone knows where you are. I can see how that can ruin it for you, considering the opening cinematic has you taking a Tank shell to the chest and not even flinching.
