Crysis 2

 

Most of the stuff in the game is rather complex and some things are spread in multiple places. It may take a while for me to figure out and organize everything.

MARCH 25: Initial stuff on the handheld weapons. Damage, Rate of Fire, Reload times.
MARCH 26: Basics of Hip spread, the effects of Rapid Fire and Point Fire Enhance.
MARCH 28: Recoil, Laser Sight Spread, and the player's movement speed from the hip and when zoomed with various attachments.
APRIL 2: Avoided April Fools jokes, added the HMG, explosives, the damage effect of silencers, ammo capacity, special armor-piercing effects and some other stuff.
APRIL 7: Tucked the underbarrel attachments in next to the explosives. Added Suit Data image.

Coming soon: the rest of the reload times (wherever they are) and a more comprehensive chart detailing everything about the Suit and its three modes.

The Player has 120 Health.
After five seconds without taking damage, the player's health begins to regenerate. 

The Nanosuit has 100 Energy.
After one second of not using any energy draining functions, the suit will recharge 30 energy per second.
If the suit is reduced to 0 Energy, it stays disabled for three seconds before recharging.

Recoil for most weapons is low (it should be, you have a big muscle suit and future guns) and character models are rather stiff and upright.
There is not a lot of randomness when the weapon is sighted (much less with Aim Enhance), meaning accuracy and reflex are pivotal in a shootout. Aim for the head.

Weapons start off with a certain amount of Damage out to a set Distance.
After that range, the weapons in Crysis 2 lose Damage Per Meter to a Minimum Damage.
For example, the SCAR loses 0.25 damage per meter until it reaches 25 Damage.
The Single Fire mode on assault rifles has its own Damage and Range and Rate of fire.

Silencers typically have minor negative effects to go with the quietness and lack of showing a dot on the minimap.
The long range minimum damage is decreased slightly with a silencer equipped, just enough that it would take an extra body shot.
Note that the DSG-1 isn't showing a silencer - that's because it doesn't lose damage with it.

Weapons in Crysis 2 have their rates of fire measured in Rounds Per Minute.
Divide 60 by that RPM and you'll get the FireTime, or time between each shot fired.
The Rapid Fire Suit Module multiplies the rounds per minute uniquely for each weapon.

Weapons have a single Reload Time. Exception being the Marshall.
Along with the Reload time is the Fill Ammo Reload Fraction or "AddTime", the point when the ammo counter changes.

The Spread of a weapon has both a maximum and minimum, both reduced by a 0.8 multiplier when crouching.
The Point Fire Enhance Suit Module multiplies the hip spread of each weapon.
The Laser Sight Attachment reduces the hip spread of most weapons to around 3.0 and less when firing from the hip.

The functions of Recoil are mostly a mystery to me, but have some numbers anyway. Recoil is really low.
The recoil has a Maximum X and Maximum Y axis. Y for up and X for left-right.
Attack is probably the speed at which the the weapon/view is moved away from the point of aim.
Decay actively (and very rapidly) slows the Attack speed and returns to the center.
There is a small bit of Randomness to Attack that prevents the speed of the recoil from being 100% predictable.
Finally, the Aim Enhance Module multiplies the Decay of each weapon positively so that it recovers even faster.

The Mobility of a weapon is very simple.
The Base move speed multiplier of a player is that of the weapon in his hand and when not zoomed in.
When zooming in, the player's speed is decreased to the multiplier of whatever sight attachment he has on.
For example a player with a SCAR+Assault Scope will move at 98% speed and 50% when looking through the scope.
As for underbarrel attachments' negative effects to the Mobility stat in the weapon menu: no effect (unless that number is somewhere else).

When zooming in, the spread of most weapons is reduced to almost nothing.
Pistols have a bit of inaccuracy to prevent them from being just as useful at a distance, but everything else is reliably accurate out to very long ranges.

Note that the Microwave gun and both sniper rifles ignore the damage reduction of Armor Mode. Don't slow yourself down against foes wielding those.
The Hammer, Majestic and Grendel have a minor armor-piercing effect, causing Armor Mode to only reduce their damage to 80% (rather than 65%).

Power Jump gives the player 2.3x times the height of a normal jump.
It takes 20 energy to use.

The Air Stomp is a velocity-based attack. The higher you are, the more time you have to fall and the faster you'll go, naturally.
Depending on the height, the Air Stomp can deliver from a minimum of 40 damage to a maximum of 220 damage.
Similarly, the radius of the Stomp can grow from 2 meters out to 7 meters.
A simple Power Jump doesn't come close to getting enough air for more than the minimum damage. You need some elevation, a few seconds of air.

Speed (sprinting) will boost the player's forward speed to 1.8x.
Speed drains up to seven points of energy per second.

Stealth drains the player's Energy by five points when standing still.
Based on how fast the player is moving with stealth, the suit will drain up to fifteen points per second.
Stealth mode may also cause the player to take double damage while cloaked. Gotta look into this.

Armor drains 2 to 7 points of energy per second depending on the player's movement speed. His movement speed is also decreased to 80%.
Armor absorbs a percentage of damage to the Player's health. 35% of the damage is diverted to his Suit Energy.
If for example, a player with Armor is hit in the torso for 30 damage. His health takes 19 damage.

@Iphraem - If the Cloaked enemy has been within 20m of you for more than seven or five seconds, the silhouette of his cloak will begin to flicker, making him very obvious. It is a pretty long time considering the pace of the game, so it is somewhat of useless.

And is the range or cloak tracker vertical like the one of proximity alarm or does it also track enemys for example at the lighthouse?

@Iphraem - i mean horizontal

@Iphraem - The proximity alarm is a flat radius with only a six meter height of detection.

Nanovision is line of sight. Any direction.

Answer pls :D

@Iphraem - The K-Volt does not appear to ignore Armor, however it drains the Suit energy quickly enough that it will deactivate Armor mode before killing the enemy.

Its damage is probably 20-15 now.

And also, does rapid fire actually increase recoil?
Posted 8/20/2011 5:34 PM by Iphraem - recommend - reply

Visit DenKirson's Xanga Site!

@Iphraem - It just increases the rate of fire, giving the weapon less time to recover.
