Crysis - an assault gone wrong!

[SUBMAN1]

Crysis may have some controversy surrounding it, but at its core, it is a great game! Someone let me know how well I coraled the enemy on this one when all hell broke loose! And yes, I didn't expect what happened in the beginning, but at least I controlled what happened in the end!

As I said in my description, the best laid plans fail as soon as the shooting starts!

PS. If anyone is having trouble with this game - the reason is, you are not being aggressive enough. This is played on Delta.

PPS. Maybe someone can count how many times I came close to death! I still mamanged to keep control of the situation though after about the first 2 min.

PPPS. This is mostly Very High settings by the way. The rest are High.

I still think the only thing that is really great about Crysis are the graphics.

Good use of the superman-suit though, SUBMAN1.

Btw: Did you record that with fraps or cam?

Try Tivo - a hacked Tivo. I have an ethernet cable plugged into the Main board. The OS on the Tivo is simply Linux. I run a server to pull off the video. I have also hacked for full DVD quality capture, and upped the MBit/sec capture quality from about 5.5 mbps to 8 mbps. It makes for full frame rate capture - FRAPS can't do this.

I have the full 29.97 FPS version if you want it. I think Veoh is only 15 FPS, so it doesn't look great.

PS. I think Crysis is a great game. The AI is superb. The hanging story at the end is not OK though.

If you ever played "Joint Operations", they are both very close in playout.
Of course, the graphics in Crysis are much better as they should be for a
game 3 years newer. BUT JO had some things going for it that I really liked.
Especially the co-op multiplayer which I think Crysis has the Editor to make
it happen. I want to see that very type of play in MP with friends vs. the
AI bots. The MP of the stock game is OK but not up to par. It lags behind
in most everything vs. the singleplayer except for the aliens. They could have
been left out as far as I am concerned. I have fooled with the editor some and
it is awesum. There is nothing it can't do that the devs did, just takes time....

Never tried JO, but I'll take a look. It is probably in the bargain bin by now anyway, so I might get it for cheap!

Ahhh...the bit where you have to get into the school and rescue the hostage...I did it without killing anyone...just stealthed in :P. The only shot fired until the tanks arrive was a guy in a MG nest who I darted. Then of course all hell broke loose with the armour incoming. Awesome game, have you completed it yet? I did it on delta too for the challenge...gets pretty hard towards the end.

Can you please provide good pints and bad points including multi player mode. This game is close to $100.00 Australian so I really need to know if it is worth buying.

Are the maps big ?

Are there any restriction in movement (crawl, kneel crouch etc)

If you can slam down as much detail it would be greatly appreciated.

Bloody good video, can you make more :hmm:

I'm making a series actually, from begining to end. Cherry picking the points of interest.

On movement, you can go where you want in most cases, and for attacking specific points, you can usually hit it from more than one angle.

My only suggestion before you buy - DL the demo - it's large at 1.7 GB, but it will let you know how your rig will handle it. There is no restriction in the demo in what you can do, and the demo world is quite large. Bigger than you expect for a demo. It is a pretty good feel for what comes later, though it is missing aircraft and tanks - but if you look online, you can drive those two in the demo with a simple hack!

Yeah I did complete on Delta. In the end, I did a lot more stealth and grab the alien, and beat the pulp out of him than I did shooting them.

Your turning into a SP pro. I truely think you should forward your skills and come over to the dark side and play MP - join a clan and play on there private servers that way you wont get called a noob or cheat when you own the same guy in every map but your get the respect you deserve Your suit skills would have many wanting you in there clan for backup and frontline attack - Crysis Needs You!

Nice Vids!

Actually the demo is the first part of the SP game in its entirety. It is almost
a game all by itself. I have played it many times just to get my skills up before
tackling the full game. I like to practice with the demo cause you don't have to
put the DVD in the drive (stupid anti-cheat) to play. AND the demo is FREE !!!

Your a legend matey keep taking ground, fight through, I'm watching you all the way !

[FAdmiral]

SUBMAN1, you and I definately have different ways of fighting in this game.
You seem to take alot more chances than I like to. I play in the stealthy
mode most of the time & hardly use the cloak at all. I just now took out 21
North Koreans in a small outpost on the beach. I hunkered down behind a
vehicle in the garage and killed most as they came to me. I watched their
feet & legs under the truck and knew when they would come into range of
my gun. I can't wait to get some MP going but don't like the stock MP that
came with the game at all. I need to create some co-op missions on BIG maps.
