Makes me wonder what kind of reports are circulating on GNR.

Three Dog must've crapped himself when you paid him a visit. :rotfl:

Ah, Three Dog. I'm afraid he re-though his career choice after I visited him. He turned into a magician, tho he only knows one trick, but he's pretty good at it.

This what he does for living nowadays:

Too bad he has so much competition. I think Mr. Tenpenny's trick is better.

1940, the Canadian First Army arrives in Egypt soon after the outbreak of war with Italy

Most of the Italian army in North Africa is encircled and eliminated by the end of September in the Battles of Bardia, Mechili and Forte Maddalena



The survivors are encircled once more and eliminated at the Battle of Agedabia (And the success rate of this Italian general is amazing)



The last remnants of the Italian army surrender on October 29th, 1940 at Zuara

Well, like they say in Godfather "..they pull me back in", so I resubbed back to Warhammer Online to smash some stuntie heads as the orcs would put it.

My Chosen, sporting the blue color of the Alpha Legion. Starting to look a wee bit more chaos-like, compared to when I was lower level, still 11 levels to go for 40.


And here is our merry warband defending a keep. Loads of order tits tried to take it from us, but our 'wall' held nicely and we managed to kill 300-500 order players in total.

Yea, The level is not hard, (Ive played crysis 3 times.) But fore some reason no one seems to like it much.

I decided to use CCC 2.21 this time. The TODs look veary nice. (chose level 5 graphics, game ran nice, good FPS.)

Cant wait till I get the money to get warhead. (and when crysis 2 is revealed... Wonder what cryengine 3 is gonna look like.)

My say in the levels...
Contact=ok, but easy

Village=pretty good, the jungle fights at the end were pretty cool.

Relic=one of crysis better levels, was one of the longest ones, lots on NK to kill.

Harbor=Also a good level, the only level in the game that had no aliens in it.

Onslought(spelling?)= I liked the tanks.

Awakening=Ok, was cool haveing to fight the NK in the mine shacks, and the crusher yard, Boss was way to easy.

Core= Not hard, but kind of boreing. (the zero g enviornment was cool, but make it harder.)

Paradise lost=Not my favorite level. excorting prophet was a pain in the butt.

Exodus= Ok, The Guass gun killed the aliens in 2 hits.

Ascension= flying the Vtol was kind of fun in my opinion.

Reckoning= Was ok, The hunter was realy easy to kill. The alien warship was way too easy to kill though.

I wonder what it's gonna run like.

Upgrade will probably be in order by then.

Yea, The night fight was pretty fun. (I got down the river in that speed boat, You have to jump over the waterfall in it.)

The graveyard fight was cool, my current tod setup has the Nights realy dark.

Dont know why crytek didnt make the NKs see the lazer pointer on your guns though.

So what settings do you play crysis at arclight?

Speedboat?! I iz uber-sneaky, no noisy machines for me. In fact, I blow up any vehicle I find... after clearing the area ofcourse. If I can't have it...

I think normally the beam shouldn't be visible (RL), but the dot at least. Makes you think twice about attaching a LAM, would be nice touch.

Yeah, the graveyard was awesome. Took me a while to come up with a strategy to effectively deal with those guys. Gave it a bit more of a tactical edge, very nice.

*ps: settings: maxed out and AA at 4x on XP (DX9), 1280x960. Tried "very high" hack and worked, but could get a little too choppy with 4x AA at some points. Now on Win7; dunno about DX10 performance yet, should give it a go.

Im useing a custom config & TODs... aa x2 (sometimes x4, If my system is up to it that day, this system has its days.)
I use dx 10 on 32 bit vista. I play on ither 1280 X 768 or 1360 X 768 resolution on a 28 inch monitor that runs at 1920 X 1200.

In the graveyard, I just run around in circles till someone shoots and looses there cloak. Then I cloak, run up to them, and put a full clip in them (or go to strength and fist fight them, used that method on that guy in the end of the mine level. Just 3 max strength punches, and he was dead.)

I myself use vehicles, I like to just run the koreans over. I often blow up outer vehicles by going at them at full speed and jumping out. lol.
Or I put some c 4 on the side of them, and blow them up next to my target.

I do the same thing. I leave no vehicles.

Nothing as satisfying as putting a bullet in a jerrycan on the back of a HMMWV as it drives by, trailing fire and then exploding. Or stick charge to armoured vehicle and sneak away again. Pressing that detonator is very satisfying as well.

In the graveyard, I either exposed myself and cloaked when they saw me. They cloak > no more maximum armour for them > headshot with guass rifle, done. OR sneak around cloaked and draw 1 away from his mates by throwing a stick at him. He goes searching, put a tranq dart in him when he's out of sight, couple of bashes on his head with maximum strength, rince and repeat.

Great thing about Crysis is that you can play how you want. Stealth? Sure. Psycho? Sure.

Can only do that in RPG normally, and you have to choose a class that matches your playing style... thereby limiting you to that playing style.

*ps: Ah, yes, the general. IIRC 3 shotgun blasts to the head at point blank range and at narrow spread did the trick nicely.

I also like to tear the buildings down.

The way I take them down realy depends on the situation. I like to go in and use the end of my gun with strenght. Or get them in a bunch and throw a gernade. lol. After you learn to use the suit, you can beat the crap out of them. lol.

Ya know. that alien gun is realy a peice of crap. the shot gun is better aginst the smaller aliens. (but works ok against the larger ones.)
*ps: Ah, yes, the general. IIRC 3 shotgun blasts to the head at point blank range and at narrow spread did the trick nicely.
Yea, He was actualy quite weak of a boss to have to go up aginst... Crytek should have done something to make him harder.
He should have had his helmet on also.

Whats crysis defualt screen shot key?
