Default Disappointed in Crysis

I am disappointed with this game which has had so much hype.

Why you ask?

1. It is not optimised for quad core like it is meant to be (runs on two cores).
2. On the highest possible settings the cut scenes run like a dream and the game like a dog.
3. There is visible banding in two parts of the demo (this is a bad graphics glitch not related to my card, happened on both).
4. The silencer fitted sounds just the same as an unfitted gun.
5. The hud is innaccurate (spin in one place and watch where your direction arrow points).
6. If you quit the demo it forces you back to the beginning again.

Now this is just a first look by me.

My system:

Vista Ultimate 64
Intel Q6600 overclocked to 3.2Ghz
eVGA 8800GTX .. also tested with a Twintech 8800GTS 320
4GB Patriot DDR2
22" LCD

In short, they still have work to do with this game before release. We can only hope they get their act together
