Comments about MSR Fury 2 Tent:
I love this tent. I have the original Fury since 2006 and it is a great source of tranquility, due the mere fact to know that no matter what or how extreme the weather could be I will be safe, comfortable and dry.
I understand the guy who complains about the hooks but if we talk about comparing the two versions believe me, the original fury is really (unnecessarily?) difficult to set up, so you can give a try to the new model. Even if it is a little bit less sturdy it can support really heavy storms.
A great advantage of the design is that the tent only without the rainfly is completely waterproof (the mesh is lateral, not in the ceiling), so if the rainfly is compromised, you'll stay dry during that trip.

Comments about MSR Fury 2 Tent:
After a long search and trying out lots of what REI offers in tents, I finally found the tent I will keep forever. I also feel the need to help this tent's rating go up, because it's a great tent and the 1 star review below is based on zero experience with the tent, apparently. (Plus, if you set up the tent properly and guy it out, force is taken in the poles, fly and guy lines, not the tent body. The sleeve vs clips argument becomes irrrelevant.)
After using 4 season tents for years and I went through a little phase of trying out lightweight backpacking tents. The only thing they get right tends to be weight, everything else fails. So I accepted that I would carry a couple extra pounds and picked up this tent, which is in reality only 1-2 pounds heavier than most 3 season tents. This is probably the lightest 2 person double wall 4 season tent out there. I used to carry a trango 2 and that was just huge and heavy compared to this thing.
The extra weight is really the only downside but I feel it's negligible especially considering the protection compared to, say, the quarterdome.
Set up is very fast, zippers are burly and smooth, and this thing is absolutely waterproof. Vents very well too.
I actually like the floor design, me and my girl don't mind being close together, and it's wide enough in the center that we can keep a pack on either side and still have enough room to sleep down the middle. (The vestibule isn't really big enough for a pack.) We are skinny though so that helps.
I basically do high altitude camping in the rockies and desert camping in the southwest. This thing is perfect for both. We just had it in a gnarly storm right about at tree line, complete with hail, dumping rain and 30 mph wind. I didn't guy the thing out in this and it handled it fine. Absolutely dry, and no condensation. It does help to know where the weather is coming from so you can utilize the fly vent.
As for the desert end of things, we haven't got it down there yet but we will this fall. The main plus for that is the ability to completely seal the tent up from blowing dust and sand. Usually if the weather is nice down there we just sleep outside anyway, the tent is more of an emergency thing.
Conclusion: light, strong, and a nice layout. Heck, everything else I own is MSR and indestructible, why not a tent from them as well? I seem to have chosen wisely.

Comments about MSR Fury 2 Tent:
I have the original fury, and this one does not compare. The strength with this design was with the full sleeved pole tubes on the tent body, clips just do not work.
Sorry MSR you guys messed up big time with this!

Comments about MSR Fury 2 Tent:
I was looking for a 4 season tent to use primarily for myself. I wanted light weight and a vestibule for cooking with a liquid fuel stove. This tent fits the bill perfectly.
Two people could fit in this tent if needed but I like to use if for just myself and my gear. The first night I took it out (Split Rock State Park in Northern MN), the temps were down to -5F and 50mph winds were predicted.
Setup was very easy even with gloves on. I didn't need to remove my gloves (liner gloves) for any of the setup. I got quite a bit of frozen condensation on the inside but I don't think I had the tent vented properly. The 2nd night, I opened both vents fully and there was not a drop of condensation the next morning.
The included gear loft is nice and there are plenty of side pockets to keep gear organized. The predicted 50mph gusts never materialized so I can't comment on the strength but the tent seems very solid.
I was able to get both the fly and tent body into a small compression sack and compressed it down to about the size of a football. I can pretty much get it down to the same size as my REI Halfdome 3 season tent! That left a lot of room in the pack for the rest of my winter gear. I did not have the footprint, however.
If you are bunking with a partner, the single entry/single vestibule might be a pain but for solo use, this tent is awesome.
