Thanks for that, that footage is pretty damn impressive i have to say.

This is no longer a rumour and has now been confirmed and here are the details.

The multiplayer demo will be available to XBL Gold members only & will feature the 'Skyline' map and two game modes, 'Team Instant Action' (team deathmatch) and 'Crash Site'. In Crash Site, players battle for control of alien drop pods, earning points by guarding them and keeping enemies at bay.​

Crysis 2's full multiplayer experience will include six gameplay modes and 12 maps set across recognisable locations in New York City as earlier reported in post above. Players can earn up to 50 multiplayer ranks which can be completed ten times much like the prestige levels in CoD series.​

​

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli had the following to say about the new title:​

​

Crysis 2 offers a fresh, new take on multiplayer - one that will stand out and establish the game as a top contender in the first person shooter genre. The Nanosuit gives gamers a sense of power they have yet to experience in any other shooter and having New York City as a backdrop will present a different type of playground with even more possibilities.
