Default Crysis - an assault gone wrong!

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.
