Crysis 2 looks good now that it’s had its little DirectX 11 patch – right? Wrong. Blackfire’s Mod 2, is a Crysis 2 mod custom designed to make your tearducts leak and your nostrils flare with a strange and intense visual fervour. It looks just a little bit incredible…
It features some incredible new texture work and vastly improved lighting. Head here for all the details on how to install the mod.
BlackFire’s Mod 2 [Crymod]
The Cheapest NBN 1000 Plans
Looking to bump up your internet connection and save a few bucks? Here are the cheapest plans available.
The contrast seems a little high in some places, and there seem to be a few bugs with the textures/shadows, but it does look spectacular. If I didn’t have such a crappy internet connection I’d be downloading the mod right now.
Any word on when the mod to make the actual gameplay better or the Mp actually worthwhile comes out?
So the game looks great, but it’s still the same formula from 1993 (Doom) and still zzz
Yes, I particularly liked the part in Crysis 2 where you have to get the yellow key to open the yellow door, BUT, theres a twist! Its behind the blue door!
This mod has a few problems, and really isn’t compatible with the DX11 stuff. Don’t get me wrong, the textures are a significant improvement over the original, but the lack of tessellation (not a deal breaker for most, I’ll admit), combined with the disregard for some of the more advanced features (so far I could tell, there were no partical shadows, and based upon the screens, it was lacking the “variable penumbra” in shadows) don’t really scream “download me.” Yet. Give it another few months, then someone will release something to melt every GPU on the planet…
Another crysis mod you might want to check out is:
Mech Warrior: Living Legends.
It may not be as photorealistic as this but it certainly fills the void of a proper mechwarrior game.
yea some of it looks awesome, other parts not so much. The sharper shadows make it look older. Real shadows aren’t sharp like the ones this guy’s added to his mod.
Plus some of the sections look like someone pushed the contrast on the LCD screen to 100. Bright colours and blackness!!
I prefer the original look of the lighthouse island for example.
Damn that would be good to play, if only I had won this in a competition somewhere…
🙁
my computer runs regular crysis 2 with good frame rate on its medium graphics, but i think this mod will make my computer shit itself….sideways
