What we want to see in Crysis 2 Maximum DLC

The expansion for Crysis (Crysis:Warhead) set the bar
pretty high for what kind of extra content we might
expect from Crytek from now on.

So it’s not entirely unreasonable of us to expect that
some great things may be headed our way in the future,
either in the form of some DLC or a fully fledged expansion.

Will they go the COD map-pack route, or will there be an entirely new campaign à la Warhead?

1 Larger Boss battles

I know I’m not alone in being disappointed with the
ending of Crysis 2.

——CRYSIS2 SPOILERS——–

The final enemies were more suited to mid-game mini-bosses in my opinion, in fact that’s exactly what I thought it was leading up to each time we caught a glimpse of these cloaked enemies.

A battle with 2 or 3 pingers at once would have been more exciting, but what I was really hoping for was a gigantic lumbering monster like in the first two games.
These were not the hardest battles but at least they ended those games in a suitably epic fashion.
Even a rehash of one of the walkers from the Lingshan islands…. imagine how cool that would be in New York??
How about a vertical battle with one of these bad boys on the face of a skyscraper?

Lets hope that at some stage extra content will address this.

2 Map packs

This one is kind of unavoidable, though lets hope they can fix the multiplayer before they consider any map-
packs.

Since map-packs are inevitable in today’s environment ,what I would like to see is some slightly larger maps such as the Lighthouse map.
Tight corridors, and fast paced frag-fests are fine but there’s no reason not to add a bit of variety.

Also, while the maps do have some verticality, most of the action takes place horizontally, some more vertical maps would be great.

3 Harder difficulty

So they’ve set the stage and given us the toys, now that we’ve all mastered them it’s time to give us a real challenge.

You know the way in MGS4 the Gecko’s could see in thermal vision, rendering Snakes stealth-camo useless?….perhaps an enemy like that. Pingers are just too easy to fool the way they are, maybe they could get that ability?

How about nanosuit snipers?.. even the North Koreans had nanosuits in the first game. Tracking down a sniper that only decloaks to take a shot might make an interesting challenge, of course they’d need to give these snipers the actual possibility of killing you this time. 2 shots max.

4 More Vehicles:

One thing that broke up the action nicely in Crisis were the vehicle sections such as when you got to pilot a VTOL through a valley.

Crysis 2 has vehicles, but there is almost nowhere for them to go.
Naturally a ruined New York is different from a tropical island, but they could simulate the walls of a valley with collapsed buildings.
Perhaps you could hijack an alien gunship thanks to the nanosuit’s nanites?
How cool would THAT be?

5 Better A.I.

While it’s loads of fun to be able to decimate a whole building full of dudes without breaking a sweat, it would be a more rewarding experience if it were a challenge.
Enemies that force you to adapt and change up tactics on the fly resulted in some of the most beloved games of the past decade.

The AI in Crysis 2 isn’t broken or anything, but it feels as though their claws were pulled back a bit in order to accommodate suit experimentation.
