Yep, might get some life out of the game yet. I am a little dissapointed with the plans for multiplayer, only one extra mode? Surely they have had enough time to come up with more than that

However it looks sweet, runs on my rig and I cant wait to have a legitimate reason to play in its gorgeous vegetation again.

Parkey · 22nd September 2008, 09:26 AM

Yep on the shopping list for sure.

I agree the vegetation was unreal. In some patches I found myself believing I was there.

Hope the expansion pack opens up some awesome new suit powers.

The multiplay side of it (called Crysis Wars) will have Punkbuster.

Steam is happily donwloading this for me at home. I wonder if my wife will understand a night without sleep again...

Well, I've played about an hour or so, so far. A bit of "same old same old" but it's the good bit from the fist game; lot's of KVA to shoot with what seems improved AI and difficulty.

It feels a little more "chatty" atm; some of the personalities on the radio have issues... seems like my avatar has some baggage.

I like to knock off the enemies then take a stroll around the underbrush to see what I can see. This morning was no different... except I sat bolt upright when attached by a shark.

Dun dun. Dun dun. Dun dun. Dun dun dun dun dundunudnudndundudnddnd akkkk!

from what I've read the MP is much better re balance
TDM is also a welcome addition

can anyone comment on the MP ?

Beavis · 12th October 2008, 08:29 PM

Well ,I have finished it...........too short,will have to start again and fool around a bit more,if you enjoyed Crysis you will enjoy this,but nothing 'really new' that I found

Wayfarer · 13th October 2008, 12:28 AM

hey hey Beavis. I am quite a few hours into it. Enjoying it so much. Seems to run better too.
However I take back the improved AI. Silly bots still stand still when you're trying to pick them off from a distance. The aliens are much more fun this time round. And the snow-ice maps are running smoother for me... almost like the jungle maps.

Beavis · 13th October 2008, 12:32 AM

Yeah it does run smoother,not like the orginal when you hit the ice world....now it plays just the same now as the jungle parts
