Online Multiplayer Shutting Down October 11, 2018

PSA, i would advise against starting to boost this game if you do not have the dedication trophy. Reason being is because its very glitchy and not guaranteed to pop after 6 months. It has a high chance of popping on new years but since the shutdown is almost 3 months after the shutdown date i wouldn't risk it. If it wasn't for that trophy this boost would be pretty doable in 3 months.

This platinum is pretty much unobtainable for anyone who didn't get Dedication yet, because the game isn't going to have another January 1st to unlock the trophy and it is less than 6 months from the server shutdown date now. However, some people have been lucky enough to get Dedication to unlock for them in their first ever online match and it is reported that it can happen with used copies of the game, I assume the bluray keeps the online stats for the game stored somewhere and thinks you played it online after 6 months in your first match. That occurrence is too rare to really count on, so it's bad luck to anyone who wanted it but never got Dedication.

Damn I’m so glad I got this done years ago. I absolutely loved playing Crysis 2’s MP! I really hope they remaster the Crysis trilogy. Would be sick to see it in 4K! 

I had the opposite experience.  The online was a terrible lagfest with invisible-cloak cheap tactics.  Plus you had pros that play this game religiously and they had all the best unlocks meanwhile you start out with nothing that can compare.  It's so broken.

I've read somewhere that there are 2 exploits about Dedication trophy:

 

-1 is well know and it's on New Year Day.

 

- The second one is trying to play a full match during the 1st of every month

 

 

 

So I have only 2 tries: the Dedication thing will glitch and it will pop up 20 days before the 6 months. Or I can try to play on first day of every month

Wondering how many people are crying right now... LOL

I am but I am ok because I haven't loaded it on my profile yet. I'll just play the story on a dummy account and then move on to crysis 3 because i'm sure that server is next

Oh well, if it wasn't for that Dedication trophy, it sure sounds like possible in the next 2 months. I will be staying away from the online in this one... I may actually do the single player trophies just for fun at some point though.

 

Thanks for the heads up OP. ?

In Crysis 2 you had the best perk right from the start (stealth enhanced) and you also unlocked the strongest weapon (feline) relatively early. Maybe it just wasnt your kind of game. I personally loved it. The perfect mix between oldschool fast paced arena shooter and new multiplayer influences like killstreaks and weapon customization. The game was all about rushing around the map with high speed and hunting down the enemies. Campers from CoD and Battlefield didnt stand a chance. 

 

I would love a PS4 Collection of the Crysis series with PC Graphics. They could also include the fourth game in the series Crysis Warhead, which was never released on consoles. And the Multiplayer could be a standalone game with all Maps from Crysis 2, 3 and their DLCs.

can you just turn the clock 6 months forward on your ps3 and pop it?

No, the game tracks the amount of time you've played through the servers. 

Well can we even be sure about that? It has only been out for 7+ years now, so I doubt anyone ever tested it before. Could we get someone on the game asap to test it out?

Fingers crossed guys :)
