In Crysis 2, New York City has been ravaged by a series of climatic disasters and a plague that has struck down on the city's population with brutal epidemic speed. Set in a world of futuristic warfare where soldiers are not solely reliant on firing rifles and hurling grenades, players are empowered to use New York City as a virtual playground and become the ultimate weapon. Crysis 2 also includes a fast-paced multiplayer campaign. Crysis 2 multiplayer features six gameplay modes and 12 maps set across recognizable locations in New York City and is built around the unique gameplay of the Nanosuit 2.
