Crysis 2 The Wall

OK, this has gone on long enough... why has noone made a reference to or image of a nanosuit and Pink Floyd?

(ok.. minus the cheating vehicle AI. those patrol boat gunners and heli pilots can go fapp themselves with their stupid magical, "i can see you from a million miles away, and ID u as a target" vision)

id like to shove that minigun up the heli gunners ass personally. they must have eagle-human-superman hybrids shooting that damn thing.

@ Xarg
Probably because it simply doesn't fit^^'

@ Karuik
One explanation for the Helis could be infra-red view, but someone probably just got lazy programming the AI :>

Actually, they do have thermal vision.
When you're inserting an AI grunt in Sandbox, they have a ThermalVision switch in their AI options. And boy it is overpowered, so these Crysis mods that improve AI realism usually switch it off for heli pilots.

I enjoyed Crysis very much. In fact, it was one of the 2 main reasons I upgraded from my old 6600GT setup, the other reason being TES IV: Oblivion.
Crysis SP has quite some replay factor for me, especially the first missions before the Alien plot really starts.

My personal favorite is the part when you secure the hostage from that school; I love replaying that part (I play stealth on Delta). When the Koreans get to know you're inside the school building, but they're not sure where in the building you are, they'll start crowding near the stairway (assuming you didn't shot them down before).

What you need to do is to sneak up to them on cloak, and gently punch someone in the foot. Then watch them collapse like dominoes, tumbling down the stairs and shooting randomly in panic. Another way is simply throw a grenade inside the crowd and watch the flying guts but I'm not the Postal guy, I prefer the 1st method, and it's way funnier.

Multiplayer is alright too, and I spend quite some time playing it a year ago. Maybe it has only 2 game modes, 3 in Wars, but it's still fun for me. Maybe because the only other game I ever played online was MW4 Vengeance :>

I agree that Crysis was in fact a tech demo for CryEngine2, just like Far Cry was for CryEngine1, and Crysis 2 will be for CryEngine3. But what's wrong with that, if it's a good game with mind-blowing visuals?

[~SJ~ Karuik]

kinda annoying that THEY get thermal vision... but our badass nanosuit doesnt?

bleh, whatever. we have elementals now.

[Scruffe]

if you switched on night vision in single then Koreans stood out like a big bright green sore thumb.

[~SJ~ Karuik]

i wouldnt know, i never used night vision

Crysis when it came out was one of the first true cinematic experiences on the pc. Sure, the AI sucked once you learned how it works, but you could take a thousand different approaches to get rid of them. I will never forget the scene at the graveyard when I just thought i had finished the level, then the VTOL at was coming to get me get shot at from the woods. It was night. I thought, okay just one KPA patrol to get rid of so I run towards them. Suddenly as I climb atop a rock, I see something shimmering in front of me, and a kpa nano suit soldier appeared and started screaming Korean at me and shooting. With my health in the red, and scared shitless because this was the first time I encountered a nano soldier, I hauled ass to hide myself deep in the woods. I crouched behind a tree, cloaked and turned on infrared, and lit a cigarette to think about what I'm going to do. Halfway through the cig, I see something moving on a ridge in front of me. I zoom in and I'm terrified to see there are at least 5 guys cloaked walking in formation combing the forest to find me. It took me another hour, Predator style, to lure them one by one into certain death by my shotgun. Good times.

Can't wait for crysis 2.

That section was such an incredible pain in the arse on Delta.
