The fastest way to elimitate aliens is to catch and throw them away with strenght. Instant death and 0 ammo needed

QFT, second time i passed that part I used no ammo to kill the aliens (Delta)

If this game is better optimized, I'll get it as I want to play their upcoming dinosaur mod. >

I found gauss rifle with full ammo to be pretty effective combating them buggers in zero-g...
Though, entering the mothership holding a gauss rifle isn't that simple (without cheating)... Requires some serious effort put into backtracking including visiting surface after killing the NK general.

On a completely unrelated note, why is there a tag "multithreaded" associated with this thread?

Crysis is optimized. Some people should understand optimization is the ability a game has to run in many platforms, and give the maximum playable quality according to it's hardware

If you tell me it's multi GPU implementation should have been better, I agree with you, but most people doesn't use multi-gpu so they left it apart.

largon - ooh, where do you get all your goodies from? The one thing that really irked me, was picking up the gauss rifle and only having use of it for a short period of time before its taken away....and you dont get it back again til the aircraft carrier.

[largon]

The trick is to make some preparations BEFORE jumping down the very first elevator shaft inside the mine. You need to make sure you can overcome two obstacles:

1. Elevator shaft
Punch those 4 big cable spools you'll find near the elevator shaft into the elev. shaft. Two of them must fall on top of the elevator below...


...and the other two all the way to the bottom. Also, you'll need to pile some small crates on top of the spool to be able to strength-jump up on the roof of the elevator.


2. Construction-platform in the room you find Rosenthal & Kyong
After killing General Kyong DO NOT enter the elevator with Rosenthal. Instead, punch the big crate that lies around all the way near the platform you entered the room where you finally killed the general:


Strength-jump on the crate and again on the construction-platform. Now you can climb all the way onto the surface and loot the stuff you want to carry into the mothership. For example, the gauss rifle. Ofcourse, only the stuff you carry on yourself will transfer with you on the next level.

Wait, was that vid composed of new material, or just some new scenes done in good ol' Crysis? Suckiest trailer/gameplay vid I've ever seen... I liked Crysis (a lot), but if they can't spark my interest for the story-line on this one, I'm gonna have to wait for the real sequal....

They should have realized that people would need to use multi-gpu to even play the game on high settings, and high resolutions.

Here, we have made the most beautiful game yet. Its too bad you dont be able to play it and see how beautiful it is.

From what I have read that trailer is runned on a 652$ PC

So they ran the Warhead demonstration on a $652 PC built with parts purchased online. Performance was astonishingly smooth and fluid even with a high level of graphical detail.

so graphic wise it isn't at a high level,some other in game screens @ higher settings down the page.

IGN: Is this going to be a stand-alone story?

Cevat Yerli: Completely.

IGN: There's not going to be a cliffhanger when you say that?

Cevat Yerli: Yes, and I think the ending is more satisfying than Crysis, that I can say too. [laughter]

I know that the ending of Crysis was a bit of a downer for a lot of people. Actually, it was probably one of the biggest critiques we had, in fact. And I'm sorry for that, what happened there. We really thought we contained it there, but what happened is if the time passes and you look at it again, we said, "Yeah, you know we just threw a nuclear bomb there, and are left to the island. [Then] black. And it's like, okay, to be continued."

The first trailers of Crysis were run with a x1900XT (or at least they said so), and you know how the final game is.

An image speaks more than a 1000 words



yes, I know its a bit thread-digging, but it's here for future "ZOMG, CRYSIS IZ NOT MULTITHREADED" moaning.

nice pic to show SLI is CPU-hungry

[Neuuubeh]

Personally I hope they do work more on gameplay than on increasing performance :X

[nsidious]

wonder how stressing this game will be to any gaming rig as a descendent of crysis

[Papu]

crysis is great , warhead looks great , cant wait to get stuck in..

[deathman20]

I'm looking forward to it. Crysis is good, actually look forward to replaying it with my new video cards on higher res, higher settings, and hopefully jacked up AI mods. Even at that playing some of the player created levels tried one the other day and it wasn't bad for a player made level.

Even if Warhead is slightly less demanding that Crysis or even equal too then cool. If it takes even more of a system to power it well damn hate to see what happens when the next release comes out.

[omega1alpha]

I'm not trying to start a flame war, but let's see how badly pirated this game gets. I'd love to see Crytek blame poor sales on pirating and then focus on the console only market. We'll then get a decent console port that'll run great on a $200 video card and Nvidia and Ati can screw themselves. I wouldn't mind playing a Crysis console port that looks and runs like Gears of War or Assassins Creed. I realize that Crysis has a totally different rendering engine and game environment. Sure, the game engine and drawing distances are different, but you can take some shortcuts and still make a decent looking game that runs well. Console ports can be done properly and they run well on budget to mid-range rigs. Who the hell wants to keep spending money on obsoleting parts....oh crap....almost everyone on this forum does. Sorry.

[Hornet331]

more then one million games sold = poor sale...?

[omega1alpha]

Crytek's CEO stated quite clearly during interviews (Pcgamer, etc) that he was disappointed with Crysis sales figures. I don't believe he called it poor sales, but he expected more. So, I probably shouldn't have used "poor sales," but I think you get the point. He definitely was complaining like the game was some sort of sales flop...

[awdrifter]

I hope they designed the levels better this time. After losing all the weapons when you get captured, I just gave up and used cheat. While the game can use some optimization, I think the current gen hardware should be able to run it fine, but they really need to work on the level design.

[annihilat0r]

4870x2 + Warhead = BOOM

lol maybe you should review the way YOU play the game , i cant believe you cheat to get through that bit , i did it in Delta without any cheats.... i hear the "hello kitty" mmorpg is "fun"
