how populer is this game?

[vega6969]

im willing to buy crysis just for this mod! but i was wondering how populated the servers are or is there just one main server or can somone explain how active the servers are. also do i need original crysis only or do i need the warhead expansion pack also?

[Mekabuser=12thVR=]

there are lots of servers and there is a dedicated group of players worldwide from what i can see. Just about any time of day there is at least one full server going. With the release of 4.0 which will port to wars/warhead I expect numbers to triple.
Mod rocks, buy it.

I got Crysis just for this game also. I played Crysis for about five minutes. I play this game almost everyday. You will love it. Go for it.

Get crysis wars, or crysis maximum.  The vast majority of players will be moving over to the wars platform.

Right now (with 0.3.2) there is only a normal Crysis version of the mod.

The next version that should be released within the next few weeks according to the latest news post (version 0.4.0) will run off Crysis Wars, from the newer Crysis Warhead expansion. This porting should make the game be slightly more optimized network and performance wise, while also allowing support for future features we'd like to put in and allow stuff like auto map downloads.

The new version will have tons of more features such as a new game mode, new maps, vehicles, etc. It will boost the playerbase quite a bit for a while, beyond the current dedicated playerbase that has been playing since 0.3.2's release since earlier this year

vega, this game is so epic, it transcends popularity.

Anyway, there's always at least one server full of people at any given time.
There's a large player base in the Americas and Russia as well.  With a few players from Australia and the United Kingdom.

In the last few weeks as 0.4.0 looms closer, I have seen more and more new people join the servers lately.

 Don't forget Germany.

Yes, Austria has a few players too

What about Andorra?

I'd say we're a decent size mod community when you consider most mod communities only have 30 players :p

Really hoping 040 gets done right and we see a swell in our regular player base.

would this mod work with the steam version of both games and is it ok if i get that crysis pack that comes with both games? would i have any problems?

[-AAA-]

The current release (0.3.2) will only work with Crysis, while the upcoming release (0.4.0) will also support Crysis Wars.  Both work with the downloadable version from Steam.  Just keep in mind that the install directory will not be in "...\Program Files\Electronic Arts", but in "...\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common."  The installer detects if you have the disc copy or the Steam copy, and installs accordingly.

 You mean Crysis Maximum? Certainly, MWLL would work with it. As a side note, MWLL needs vanilla crysis to be updated to version 1.21 before installation. AFAIK steam version is already updated, but retail version usually not. Anyway, I suggest you checking installation guide on MWLL wiki.
