senbon: My expectations form the first game was that the second game would contain some form of open ended gameplay (which for me, it didn't).
lukipela: Did anything they said about the 2nd game even mention it would have the same open ended gameplay? When Majora's mask came out, did you hate it because it was not like Link to the Past ?
All these complaints sound like "It is different, so i hate it!"
You seem to have some aggression issues you should work out before going online, just a thought. The game's made by the same team so its logical to think that it'd be built around similar concepts as the first UNLESS specified.

Personally I was extremely disappointed about it, Disappointed to the facepalm level. I didn't had high expectation, I knew it was going to be very different of the first but I just expected a nice little FPS
I didn't minded the graphics, they are not "high end" by any stretch but they are "adequate" they looks great as long as you don't gets too close, I didn't minded the lack of "openness", no, my main issue is was the gameplay, it's just boring, stupidly easy and boring. (of course IMHO, etc,etc..)
The AI is a joke, it's not the first time a FPS has bad AI of course but in Crysis 2 case it really hurts the game killing all the challenge. (Once again IMHO)
Enable stealth, move to a suitable position, disable stealth, shoot some guys, re-enable stealth, rinse and repeat until you win the game. If enemies notices you don't worry, enable stealth and side step of one meter, they will shoot at your last known position for some time just for the fun and then totally forget your existence, if you don't move you should have more than enough energy.
If you want things to be even more easier just find yourself a sniper riffle, hide behind something, enable stealth, move away from cover, shoot on or two guy with the riffle then go back under cover, wait for energy and health to regenerate and continue until there isn't any enemy left on the map (unless of course you are in a map with forever spamming enemies).
Once again it's not a problem if everybody notices you and know where you hide they are going to completely forget about it 10 seconds later anyway.
But even then it was mostly because I tried to kill everybody on a map, otherwise you can just run to the exist/objectives with Stealth enabled (of course having to stop from time to time to let the energy regenerate) or after one or two upgrade with Armor.
Actually the most fun I had with the game was watching the enemies doing stupid thing. enemies hiding on the wrong side of a wall, suddenly walking in the open even thought you are shooting them, etc...

Its a FPS, wanting it to have the best plot ever is honestly asking too much. In my opinion these games serve as an outlet for some frustration. I mean who doesn't like blowing shit up when they're angry?
I've seen very few FPSs that had those amazing story-lines that games like halflife had. And even that game, which blew my mind for many years seems to fall a bit short by todays standards in terms of these new concepts games are using with several endings, morality choices, open-world gameplay, and all that good stuff
Me personally, when I want to get submerged into a good story I usually go play RPGs.
So I think it does rather well what its meant to.

I actually liked the Crysis 2 plot. Transhumanism is a favored concept of mine.
