Crysis 2 Co-op Progress Update #5 - Release and Cancelled

Posted by on


News Update 12/04/2013
We are sad to announce that we are no longer working on Crysis 2 Co-op. The main factors for the cancellation being the lack of source code provided for Crysis 2 and the anti cheat system which cannot be disabled.

However we will release what we have in a few days, this is the most stable build we have which doesn't crash or kick players from the server as soon as they engage in combat with the AI. However it is rare that you will make it to the end of the level without at least one player being booted from the server by the cheat system.

The second reason is we are now working on a new project with a new team which is demanding the vast majority of our free time.( Indiedb.com ) We thank you for understanding.

Here is a video of the AI in the build we will release.

Sorry that you have waited so long for so much more than we could achieve, sadly it was simply impossible to achieve what we were aiming for with the limitations the game presented us with.

FAQ:
Q: Will the cheat system effect my Crysis 2 account, will I be banned from any other servers?
A: No.

Q: Does this mean you won't be working on Crysis Wars Co-op anymore?
A: No, we are still working on Crysis Wars co-op, albeit slower due to other projects.

Q: What files will you provide in the release?
A: We will include the multiplayer converted map spear, along with the lua files we used to create the AI. There is also some additional flowgraph setup required due to some functions that weren't available in LUA.

Q: Can people with no clue what lua is play this release?
A: If you know how to launch a community dedicated server, then you and your friends can still play what's in the release.

Q: If someone found a way to disable the anti-cheat system would you come back to this project?
A: Possibly

What's the problem of cheat protection in coop?

It kicks any one else is the server out. Cause it considers more than one player on a story map cheating.

Why would they care if people cheated in a story map? Cheating is only a problem in competitive multiplayer. Makes no sense.

If theres no possible work around, maybe someone can get in touch with the devs with an email and see what they say about it.

A shame to see the mod cancelled. I was looking forward to both.

Yep same here, Crysis 2 wasn't even nearly as good as crysis 1, and a coop mod would make it even better

I am very glad that the project "Crysis coop" is not dead. The hope is that one day you release a full co-op first, second and third part of the crysis... Thank you, Cryop.
