COD4 Vs. Crysis

[sniperghost666]

for those of you unlucky enough to own Crysis, what is your opinion on which game is better? single and multiplayer.... In my personal opinion COD4 kicks the crap out of Crysis all day long.

[TrudgiN]

i think that cryis single player is better than cod4s but i am not sure of crysis online

[=)BiT(=AutoFodder]

I played the demo a few times and also the multiplayer beta.

They were both 'nice'.

Absolutely mind blowing graphics (kisses 8800 GTX), but no really amazing gameplay to back it up.

Had a lot of potential, shame.

[sniperghost666]

yeah i agree that the single player in Crysis is much more in depth and lnger. but i really bought both games for the multiplayer aspects and cysis (to me) really hasn't shined in that area

[GrossKopf]

Let's see. According to game-monitor.com right now:

COD 4: 31,590 players on 11,249 servers.
Crysis: 1,178 players on 619 servers.

No question.

very good point there, my sentiments exactly

i really don't see what all the hype about cysis was in the first place, huge failure in my opinion, but then again, it is EA

[CptainCrunch]

Come now, you need to ask the same question in the Crysis area. :D

I didnt bother with Crysis because of the huge resources needed (and that I didnt have) and because I could NOT get my mouse to work with it.

Its a mouse, how hard should it be???

Crunch

[Battl3fr0nt]

you cant compare... crysis failed... cod4 is the best game out right now... I mean think about it single player wise cod4 is alot better to but no one really plays single player anymore unless you want a little brake from MP.. the mp is why you buy the game in the first place and crysis mp is crap.. plus crysis runs like **** and looks about the same as cod4...

[LasermanX]

Call Of Duty 4 in my opinion... it focused on a bit more than just graphics.

[=MNKY=Frosty]

Yea, I wouldn't care about the graphics of a game, as long as it is fun and has good gameplay, crysis, has none of that.

I would even go as far and say that CoD4's SP is better than Cyrsis, it was a lot more fun.

i totally agree, well put

[The_Eliminator]

i was not going to buy Crysis due to the fact it was published by EA and i swore after BF2142 never to buy anything again, so instead i won it in a competition :D

[sniperghost666]

good for you :) what do you think of it so far, multiplayer in particular

[AllFoamNoBeer]

Crysis is aiming too high on graphics, losing out on many customers, many many customers.

COD4 wins by sheer playability (IE on old G-Cards)

[Uncleadolph]

Let's see. According to game-monitor.com right now:

COD 4: 31,590 players on 11,249 servers.
Crysis: 1,178 players on 619 servers.

No question.

Not really, CoD4 is OBVIOUSLY a MP game, Crysis is a SP game basically. Your arguement fails.

You could compare any of these games to Halo 3 for example, just because Halo 3 has more players it means its better right? The same goes for WoW, it has a huge playerbase which is obviously how to gauge how good a game is, so WoW must be nearly the best game around.

Crysis ROCKS. The singleplayer is amazing, theres a few levels that are a bit poor, like the tank level but that is down to poor controls on the tank.

Also, to add something about how it runs. It runs brilliantly at medium on my PC (E6300, 7900GS, 2GB RAM) and medium looks better than Bioshock at max...

It does need to be optimised a bit more, the whole reason is because Crytek were rushed by EA to release it at a certain date. A patch with huge optimisations is on its way, and don't forget, Cryengine 2 is a completely next-gen engine... Of course it is going to have a few problems.

[Bisley_Bob]

I think COD4 is a better game overall. However, i think we will be seeing a lot of the next games being produced on the Crysis engine as it's obviously more advanced.

[GrossKopf]

Not really, CoD4 is OBVIOUSLY a MP game, Crysis is a SP game basically. Your arguement fails.

What do you base this statement on? It came with a full functioning MP upon release, so OBVIOUSLY Crysis is meant to be both, unlike EA's last disaster, MOH:A in which the MP seemed to be an afterthought.

Just check out X-Fire's "Average hours played on X-Fire each day" page: http://www.xfire.com/cms/stats/

Between COD 4 single player and multiplayer, 184,719 hours per week played vs Crysis 13,281. Crysis is such a failure that they don't even seperate single player vs multiplayer.

Now, I understand that not every Crysis player has X-Fire running when they play and neither does every COD 4 player, but even if you add in a few thousand hours on both to compensate, COD 4 is still the CLEAR winner in both SP and MP.

Face it. Crysis failed.

[L3adcannon]

How about, who the **** cares?

Crysis sp> CoD4
CoD4 mp> Crysis

[AllFoamNoBeer]

Or.

Its just a game, play it, then throw it away.

[SirSie]

Let's see. According to game-monitor.com right now:

COD 4: 31,590 players on 11,249 servers.
Crysis: 1,178 players on 619 servers.

No question.

I wouldn't say that the numbers playing mean that it's a better game.
e.g. More people buy the Sun newspaper than the Guardian, more people watch ITV than BBC2. Does this make them better...nope:)

[sava700]

Let's see. According to game-monitor.com right now:

COD 4: 31,590 players on 11,249 servers.
Crysis: 1,178 players on 619 servers.

No question.

That doesn't mean nothing.. 60% or more of those COD4 players prob can't play Crysis so they are hardware restricted. If your system is powerful enough the SP and MP is 10x better,more smooth, all around top notch compared to COD4.

I own both games and have played both..I do like the COD4 run around like a chicken with your head cut off gunning but I'd much rather play Crysis MP since its more defined in a task...did I mention you can drive trucks,boats,hovercrafts,etc in Crysis where you have nothing in COD4?

Crysis FTW.

[GrossKopf]

I wouldn't say that the numbers playing mean that it's a better game.

No, it just means it's more popular.


did I mention you can drive trucks,boats,hovercrafts,etc in Crysis where you have nothing in COD4?

Crysis FTW.

You can't compare those features because COD 4 is an infantry game. I'm simply talking popularity. COD 4 is obviously much more popular.

F The Crysis!

[=MNKY=Frosty]

IMO CoD4 wins, hands down.

There will be a fair few Crysis fans who will stick with it till the end, but overall, CoD4 just has many more fans, and that's a Fact.

Anyone else think Crysis is just like Far Cry, great solo, pants online?

[sniperghost666]

Not really, CoD4 is OBVIOUSLY a MP game, Crysis is a SP game basically. Your arguement fails.

of course i meant COD4 Vs. Crysis as in a comparison of FPS's. halo 3 i agree is a cool game, but i see what you were saying about halo and WoW, but those games weren't being talked about (like Crysis) for almost 3 years saying how it was going to totally change the graphics engine in games and be the best single and multiplayer game ever. and how even if you did have to have a medium system, you could still run it. Crysis first of all did what it always does, realeased a game, a half assed game that is going to require god knows how many patches, just to make as much oney as possible. and alot of people like it because EA's games don't require a fee to play online, which i enjoy too. but what is it worth when you can't even get a good gaming expirence out of the game? and yes crysis is a next gen game, and i have a next gen system. (not bragging) i have a 8800 GTX and 2 gigs of memory and DX10. and the game is still horrible for me. and i have noone to blame but myself. i fell for another EA ploy yet again. and yes the new engine will have problems, but it should at least run and live up to half the hype. oh and did you buy bioshock or do you just have the demo? i downloaded the demo, just like i did with crysis. and the bioshock demo looks really, really good. but then again....come to think of it so did crysis lol. but i think that bioshock looks really great and it runs great on my system.


Or.

Its just a game, play it, then throw it away.

yeah i agree, good thing i'm rich enough to just waste $53.00. i do use money to burn in my fires in my mansion...good advice there. why didn't i think about that???

Crysis FTW.


and the 60% of people not being able to run crysis and that's why they got cod4 is crap. have you checked out the minimum system requirements for crysis???

[imported_ATM743]

you cant compare... crysis failed... cod4 is the best game out right now... I mean think about it single player wise cod4 is alot better to but no one really plays single player anymore unless you want a little brake from MP.. the mp is why you buy the game in the first place and crysis mp is crap.. plus crysis runs like **** and looks about the same as cod4...

crysis didnt fail you fail.

crysis dose not look no where near what cod4 looks like. i love both games equally. multilayer is fun on both and single plays is fun on both as well.

the game runs slow cause it was made ahead of whats out now. once new gpu's and cpu's come out (wolfdale core comes out in a month :yay:) the game will run really good. they made it like this so that it wont look outdated after a year.

the gameplay i find fun in crysis. going up to them and choke holding them then putting strength up and launching them up in the air is so fun. even when you do the rag doll mod thats out.

they are both really good games. cod is just an other fan boy game that came out that was sold out by everyone. people make the game sound more than what it is.

the multiplayer is fun but its really bland. all you do is run around and shoot or knife people then die after 45 seconds (depending if you are camping or in a 50 player server) yes there are other game modes but its not as fun as what you do in crysis. i like having a HUGE area to play online and have to do multiple things to win. not just run around and kill and get points. crysis and bf2 multiplayer is my favorite to play online.

same as TF2 even though you run around and kill people none stop you still have a goal to do and with the different classes you are able to do different things. like spy, or set up re-supply stations.

i wish that cod would add to their series and make a cod game that is made for 64 player servers. like bf2. each team has to do a job. like prevent the bad guys from detonating a bomb or something like that. it will give it depth


also cod4 has to worst ranking/awards system i have ever seen. it only takes you about a weekend to get a high enough rank to get good guns and perks

i have been playing bf2 for 3 + years on/off and i have still NO WARE near the highest rank.

[AllFoamNoBeer]

yeah i agree, good thing i'm rich enough to just waste $53.00. i do use money to burn in my fires in my mansion...good advice there. why didn't i think about that???







Or probably because the Capitalists you are, games are overpriced there, 53$ for a game?

Jesus, its 399baht here, merely $9.

[GrossKopf]

crysis didnt fail you fail.

The numbers speak for themselves. Crysis has failed.


also cod4 has to worst ranking/awards system i have ever seen. it only takes you about a weekend to get a high enough rank to get good guns and perks

Wow. A weekend? Must be nice to be single living at mommy and daddy's house rather than living in the real world with responsibilities. I've had the game since the second day and I'm only a 1st LT. Real life really does interfere with gaming.

Believe it or not, there is a limit on how many paths you can take in Crysis. You'll get bored soon and hope you bought a stronger MP game.


Crysis FTW.

Go talk to the other 10 people that agree with you in the Crysis forums.

[iQue]

Have you guys noticed that the CoD4 fanboys is completely trashing Crysis while the Crysis fanboys often likes both games? :p Wonder why...

I like both games, none beats the crap out of the other because they are nothing alike.

[imported_ATM743]

The numbers speak for themselves. Crysis has failed.

Did i every say that i was Ranked 55??? had the game since day it came out and only Lt. Colonel II.

I could give a fat baby's **** less how many more people play cod4 then Crysis.

stating that crysis failed because how many more people cod4 its just plain stupid.

thats just like saying cod4 failed compared to WoW...

[sava700]

You can't compare those features because COD 4 is an infantry game. I'm simply talking popularity. COD 4 is obviously much more popular.

F The Crysis!

The main thing is about the numbers is that most people can't play Crysis...but those that can the majority of those that have played it including myself can see that Crysis is the better game, COD4 is too wild of a game...I look at whats available with Crysis and COD4...then I look at the install size on my computer and see that any game that offers so little and takes up so much space(over 6gigs) isn't no where near as good as Crysis that offers so much more with only (over 2gigs) of space. Writing is on the wall and it says Crysis FTW. Sorry.

[The_Eliminator]

IMO they are both great games, with completely different online audiences.

[imported_Whiskey]

This question is meaningless unless asked in a neutral forum, and even then, it's far too subjective. This is a COD forum, so of course most people will say COD. I'd expect people to say Crysis is better on the Crysis forums as well.

From both a total sales perspective and gaming-hrs per user, however, it's hard to dispute that COD4 takes both hands-down. COD4 will make far more money, and have more longevity in MP as well.

Like FarCry, Crysis will probably benefit from a small bump in sales a year or two down the road when more PC's can run it properly.

[GanglarToronto]

Who cares which one is better? Just have some damn fun and stop whining.

[GrossKopf]

Because the Crysis fanboys really really want to suceed even though they know in their hearts it won't and they KNOW that COD 4 kicks ***. :)


stating that crysis failed because how many more people cod4 its just plain stupid.

COD 4 having 30x as many people playing = Crysis is a failure in comparison.

[imported_Tren]

cmon guys, please keep this thread civilized...it is already living on its last life.

[iQue]

It's all down to peoples different opinions so why are we even arguing?

Let people play the game they like without trying to ruin their lifes, jeesh.

[Chris_Redfield]

Crysis for SP
COD4 for MP

Guess which game was built for which player mode? Thats right. And anyone even suggesting that Crysis was made as a mainstream game (much like COD4 and HALO3 were, for example), needs to get their opinion examined. Crysis is much like an "experiment", a niche branch. Expecting the game to sell millions when we know that the average gamers rig would play it merely on LOW/MEDIUM, would be foolish. It beats COD4 singleplayer down into the mud with its creative freedom, absolutely no counterarguments there. COD4 is so scripted that replay value of SP is under serious question, however, its replay value comes from excellent MP, and in MP that game really shines. Beats the infantry games market by a long stretch.

Saying Crysis is a failure, based on X-fire hours is a statement backed by lack of any facts or reason. Just to tell you how accurate X-fire stats really are: Half Life 1 and its mods (CS1.6) are the most popular PC FPS games ever, beating COD4 by 5X of player number (OMGZ FAIL??????!!1), yet its not even in the charts.

I believe modders can give you a better idea of how great Crysis Editor is. And since it was delivered early with the Demo, it further attests to the fact that Crysis is a stepping stone, a gamer community experiment, something that pushes the envelope.

To give you an idea why Crysis was not meant as a MP game, just look at vehicle setup (keys and such), they are bad. vehicle balance relation is even worse. Theres no thought put into MP, at all.

[=)BiT(=AutoFodder]

I have played both and can run both with full settings.

But in my most humble of opinions, I think that COD4 is a much more fun game, and evidently many, many other people think so.

Crysis has it's good features undoubtedly, but it was massively over-hyped.

[Chris_Redfield]

The only thing "overhyped" were Crysis graphics. And in reality, with people unlocking certain hidden features using the Cryengine, the hype has been met with practice.

[GrossKopf]

The main thing is about the numbers is that most people can't play Crysis...but those that can the majority of those that have played it including myself can see that Crysis is the better game, COD4 is too wild of a game...I look at whats available with Crysis and COD4...then I look at the install size on my computer and see that any game that offers so little and takes up so much space(over 6gigs) isn't no where near as good as Crysis that offers so much more with only (over 2gigs) of space. Writing is on the wall and it says Crysis FTW. Sorry.

What do you propose? Try to come up with some figure of how many people "want" to play Crysis but can't? I tried the SP demo of Crysis. I wasn't impressed.

[sniperghost666]

all i know is that i've been to the total cysis forum (and feel free to visit them yourself) and the max people i've seen on there is 12 people. and yes i know that has nothing to do with the comparison of the games but it just shows how much more popular cod4 is. and crysis was VERY over hyped. and with my rig, which is a very decent PC, i just don't understand why people should have to replace their whole PC just for a game that should have been released with an engine that could run at least on a high 7 series card on medium. i plan on starting the same thread in the crysis forums just to be fair so check up and see what the replies and the reasons are if any of you are interested. and i appreciate everyones opinions and i hope no matter what game you like more you have fun with it, because that's what's it's all about. i was just really dissapointed in the hype and the outcome of crysis and it's preformance. hopefully it will improve in the future. but it's no excuse for what EA does and continues to do to all the people that keep coming back for more (myself included) and hopefully they will fix alot of the problems that they have in their development department.

No. It just shows that the Total CoD4 forums are more popular.

Take a look at incrysis forums, now there are tons of members there.

CoD4 is a much bigger game but that in itself doesn't make Crysis crap.

I'd like to think that Crysis is a little ahead of it's time, too far fetched for the average gamers mind :p


IMO they are both great games, with completely different online audiences.

:yay:


I tried the SP demo of Crysis. I wasn't impressed.


Mmmh yeah I agree, the CoD4 demo was much better.

[/sarcasm]

[sniperghost666]

i agree that cysis is ahead of it's time, but it does the gamers NOW, no good. and crysis isn't crap, it just hasn't lived up to the hype. oh and i posted the same exact thread in the total crysis forum and these are the responses so far

1. no get out
2. Yeah lol get out of our forums
3. Crysis is a better game all around..but to bring it up in these forums when there is already one in the COD4 section is kinda a waste.

and my response was "oh okay i was just trying to give the cysis fans to defend they're crappy game, but obviously it can't be done. and if it's so much better why do you think so?"

[Chris_Redfield]

COD4 is a failure. HALO3 250K players online says so. (stats taken from the launch week)

[sniperghost666]

well HALO 3 was also launched about a month or so before COD4. and how exactly is a COD4 a failure? it will last alot longer than HALO 3. and in case you have a reading impairment the title of the thread is COD4 VS. Crysis.....not HALO 3

[sava700]

What do you propose? Try to come up with some figure of how many people "want" to play Crysis but can't? I tried the SP demo of Crysis. I wasn't impressed.

Well since there isn't a way to figure this up you have to wait for at least a year while the games are out to make a better judgement call. I think in 6months COD4 will die down alot, while Crysis will continue to grow since you already have many waiting on the 2nd part of the game like wolves walking around a deer.

[Chris_Redfield]

Ever heard of sarcasm?

And no, COD4 will not outlive HALO3. Thats a quaranteed fact.

[LasermanX]

Ever heard of sarcasm?

I would have to agree, COD4 is a great game but HALO3 has a much bigger following and will last a lot longer. HALO 2 I bet is slightly bigger than COD4 or slightly less.

[GrossKopf]

I would have to agree, COD4 is a great game but HALO3 has a much bigger following and will last a lot longer. HALO 2 I bet is slightly bigger than COD4 or slightly less.

Exactly. Besides, 12 year olds have nothing better to do than play Halo 3 for next 4 or 5 years so it will definately last longer. After all, look at CS 1.6.

[sniperghost666]

Ever heard of sarcasm?

And no, COD4 will not outlive HALO3. Thats a quaranteed fact.

people are still playing the original COD, how many people are still plaing the first halo? seriously, i have no idea.....

[Chris_Redfield]

people are still playing the original COD, how many people are still plaing the first halo? seriously, i have no idea.....

~1500~3000 players any given time on PC version alone. Much more on Xbox.

[sniperghost666]

really? interesting, thanks
