LMAO or should that be lMaO

I have mixed feelings about this really.

To me they should have worked out the multiplayer. That'll keep the game going forever. Like when I was in the beta, people where giving a resounding plea to work out the multiplayer to be better...

*sigh*

I wont hold my breath....

the game will still come with a special executable to offer performance boosts in 64-bit Vista, which is all very nice if you’re into that sort of thing.

We've had 64 bit processors for how many years exactly ? And this is what, the second major game engine to actually take advantage of the extra performance available ? (The other I can think of being valve's source engine if I remember right) Good for them :).

On the side, did anyone else look at that last screenshot and wonder if the troops on the right are all clones ? (and sort of looked female, with a lock of hair down the side of the face, which I know realize isn't, but rather a reflection(?) or something.

Joe,

How are the segments split? How many fun levels killing the NVA in the jungle, and how many tiresome alien levels?

I'll reserve judgement until the game comes out, but I'm a stealth/sniper-type so I might resent being forced to do the Rambo bit.

No idea until I've played the full game, obviously.

oh some of the photos are linking to the wrong larger versions

Fixed now.

I did upgrade for Crysis, but ended up running the game on XP (DX9) and forcing the Very High settings on my 8800 GTS. I don't really know if is DX10 or the way the game is poorly coded... either way I wasn't able to finish the game due to the Airplane Carrier glitch, which was a major blow for the whole game experience.

I'm planning to finish it before Warhead comes out

PS. if you want a real story, with three-dimensional characters.... play BIOSHOCK

Try the Cuban mod:

And while you're installing it, check the option to install the Time of Day mod. It's awesome.

It is! ;)

if only one had a pc that could play it:/

Joe mentioned the negative reception of crysis' storyline. Am I the only person who liked the story? It was like a really, really fun Arnie film. I loved every minute of it, it did exactly what it said on the tin.

I suppose when you say 'koreans' and 'US military' people expect some harrowing socio-political commentary on the natures of both war and man, just thrown in on the side to give it a flavour of Grown Up. CoD4 gave us that, and I'd say Crysis has more replay value as a result.

I liked Crysis story and the game as whole.
Great atmosphere and levels.
The only problems were
a) the last battle (too many bugs)
b) the time required to finish the game. Too small.

I played crysis.hell i had only a geforce 7600 gs 256mb with core 2 duo 2.2gig .What i did was overclocked my card to 490mhz from 400 stock ,and memory form 800 efective ,to 900 effective (ddr2).
But you might think what was the frame rate?
It's only 18 for high settings but 800x 600 res.
crytech has buit a engine for high end graphics cards,not for mid range.
Do you want to play the warhead? Yes but only after two years when new cards comes up.

Hm. I may not be a tech pro, but I'd say a 7600 is a LOW end card, not a mid range one.

lol It's an 7600 GS not even a 7600 GT, And yup it's LOW END CARD :D:(

Greetings!

To be fair, it was mid range card ~2,5 years ago.
Now is low end.

The GS was always a low end card, sub £100 is low end (especially here)
