    just when you thought it was safe to go back on the computer Crytek/EA decide to release another map pack. £7.99 / $9.99
    this time with 5 maps/new gun/smoke grenade.

    MyCrysis - Crysis 2 Decimation Pack Available Now!


    also noticed steam has mysteriously removed crysis 2 from its listing.

    you're right, no more crysis 2 on steam, weird...
    I'm actualy waiting for this game to go on sale to buy it, was interesting but not $50 worth interesting :p
    I hate it when they release paid map packs, always reminds me of a greediness.

    Keep an eye on Amazon Download. Their prices fluctuate and occasionally hit the $30 mark. Once purchased, you get a key which can be used to download from EADM.

    call me a muppet if you want but ive bought both map packs.
    the first dlc im lucky if ive had 8 games on them as never anyone in the servers. i liked the look of the new maps so bought it earlier and there are so far 2 servers on 2 maps and none on the other 3.
    should be fun.

    not buying any other games until battlefield 3 and mw3 so needed something to keep me going until october.

    I bought it for 20$ in India a week ago, am currently here(in India) for the summers. Just finihed i yesterday(was playing at a leisurely pace), nice game but in no way as EPIC as the first.
    I was actually surprised at how cheap it was, but i guess to combat piracy EA releases PC games cheap her(i mean 1000Rs or 20$ is the standard price for all PC games here, though console games are the same price, so i think they make PC games cheap to combat PC piracy which is a major issue here)

    Actually steam did not pull Crysis 2 off, EA must have done it themselves cause of Origin, note that many EA titles are no longer available on STEAM.
