Crysis Version?

[neverhome]

To play MWLL when released, do you need standard Crysis or Crysis Warhead? I'm buying this game just to play the mod when released ! So do I buy Warhead of normal Crysis? I dont want to buy the wrong one.

There will be a playable version for both. We suggest to wait for the Crysis Maximum edition which brings both games at a fair price.

If you only want one, we suggest to get Warhead.

Will both versions be release at the same time? If so, that is news to me. My impression was that the inital release would be for Crysis and the Crysis War version would follow later with all future developement work being for the War version only. If they are coming out at the same time then a whole lot of us are going to be heading out to buy Crysis Warhead and tossing our Crysis disk in the round file.

This is the case, hence the suggestion to get Warhead if this is an "either - or" decision. However, we think the Crysis Maximum edition is pretty good value for money and worth a consideration for gamers interested in cutting edge FPS games.

I'll sit here happy knowing I have both games.

Man.....I should have gotten warhead. Well soon enough.

Warhead version will be released later, Crysis version will be released first.

waitaminute.  I take it the 2 versions won't be compatible with each other. Won't this divide the community? Not to be a pain the ass, but I'd rather have 1 version, even if I have to buy another crysis game, and keep all the players on the same battlefield.

Please read THIS THREAD from barely four weeks ago where all of this has been discussed and explained. We appreciate your faith in us and the support you're willing to display but we know that some might not, which is why we've decided to have a Crysis-based release to reward the support from all those who bought Crysis just because of our announcement to use it as a plattform.

We are not concerned that this strategy will split the community as the vanilla Crysis version is not likely to receive much support - at least not from us - after a certain point.

 I would prefer not to have to get any Crysis, but I am gonna get whichever is considered more popular for the community.

Well, if you want to play MWLL, there's simply no alternative at this time as you're certainly aware of.
If this is an "Either - or" decision for you, it has to be made for Crysis Warhead/Wars, which means no beta participation, but longevity.

Am i reading too deeply between the lines here or does this mean that there will be an open beta version released?

[AoP]

Uncertain but likely. As said, the Crysis release will be a gesture of gratitude towards those who bought the game only for MWLL and as the Crysis version of MWLL will not be supported until sun freezes over, we're trying to find the most reasonable approach here.
