Well I'm loving it

Tanner, you're a whiner.

FPS is only half the story at the moment with this beauty. You have no idea.

Edit: Apologies for the name-calling. I'm just annoyed.

Why do people keep trying to compare Cliffs of Dover with a console FPS?! That is a terrible comparison. It's a game designed for consoles. It is nothing special by any means. Cliffs of Dover is a very complex combat flight simulator.

You are confusing Crysis 2 with Crysis. Everything I've read up on with Crysis 2 is in many ways it looks worse than Crysis, and it is optimized for consoles which means it doesn't use any more memory or processing power than the 360 can handle. What's more is FPS have (you seemed to miss this when I said it a few dozen other times) nowhere near the size map(s) or hard number crunching calculations that Cliffs of Dover does. Your argument is remedial at best.

Come on, people... How can you compare this with Crysis? A flagship title with some major backing behind it versus an enthusiast-only niche game like this? Crysis 2 probably cost millions to develop and had some serious resource behind it. You can't compare the two. If you have a problem with Crysis, does the lead designer answer your questions? Will they be adding free models and updates for the next ten years? Probably a big fat NO on either question.

In this day and age where "DLC" is the main watchword for the gaming industry and actually getting something FREE is almost unheard of, Luthier has already said there will be FREE extra planes to fly. Do you get that with Crysis? Quite frankly, if 1C wanted to charge for a major flyables update, then fine by me. And if 1C had pushed the release back to the summer to fix the issues, how much extra whining would there have been? Luthier has already said this morning that they are fixing things, so lay off it and take a breather.

Crysis 2 was made by 250 people and shit loads of money. Secondly, the first Crysis was a hog back then and very few could run it with everything on max.

I just don't get the whining. All i see is a load of damaged hardware egos. Yes there are issues but we all know it.
The whining doesn't do anything good for us or for them. Let Luthier and his team work it out. Report bugs in a normal manor so they can fix them.

Just done another stint, some missions and a couple of campaign missions. No issues at all. Have lots of trees all of a sudden but still good framerates. Biggest problem now is the muppet at the controls!

It can only get better!

I love it too. Medium to High settings, I get an avg of 44 fps coming from sea going over land. The game seems to struggle with buildings and trees, to show them in the distance or not, popping in and out. Might very well be that causes the stutters. No doubt when this will be patched makes it the best sim.
