Wonder how this DLC/update will work with Steam? ... Will us that bought Crysis 2 get a auto update via steam as usual?

It says the downloads are optional! ... You need a video card with at least 1GB of memory & you need a x64 bit operating system.

It's pretty cool they put out a texture pack and DX11 support, but I finished the game a while ago and have no desire to play MP or SP again.

Ive only completed the single player the once ... Think i finished the SP in around two weeks, I really enjoyed it and have never played again since i completed it.

Im sure a second run through with added eye candy wont hurt.

I just finished it. The SP wasn't as bad as some people have said. It kind of reminded me more of Gears of War cause it was not as well done as the first Crysis or Warhead. It was on rails instead of wide open like the previous Crysis games, though less than the Duke Nukem Demo I played. It was definitely worth the $18 I spent on it .
