While it’s great that we can get another look at Crysis 2 with a third ‘experience’ trailer included below (with tons of stunning in-game footage), it’s a little bit of a bittersweet time for fans of the game as the PlayStation 3 version of the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo has recently been taken down due to gamers “experiencing server connection delays.”
From a statement on EA’s Crysis 2 blog:
“Though many gamers have had a great experience playing the demo, we are aware that others have been experiencing server connection delays,” the statement reads. “We’ve identified the root cause and have decided to close the PS3 demo in the next 24 hours to ensure all issues are resolved when the game launches next week. Our priority is to ensure that the final product is flawless at launch.”
This multiplayer demo for Crysis 2 was only released this week on the PlayStation Network, and as a result there’s understandably a little bit of anger in comments posted on the blog asking why EA and Crytek can’t continue the demo now that the problems have been ‘identified.’ Oh dear.
Well, I guess if you’re a PlayStation 3 owner and you’re looking forward to Crysis 2, you can whet your appetite for some singleplayer action from the game in the new video below:

Dang - I just finished downloading it last night and was going to give it a whirl this weekend :( Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until next week now.
Oh no, that's bad - that demo wasn't tiny, either. ;(
