time to jump on you.
how many hours did you play Crysis MP? I've played the game more than 10hours now and I find it hard to stop and play anything else. first off, Crysis is developed by Crytek, the same people who developed FarCry. furthermore, both FC and Crysis have the same tropical setting. so it will obviously look familiar. I am sure you heard "If Ain't broke, don't fix It" Crytek decided to stick with some core formulas that made FC popular. what's wrong with that? Companies like EA do it all the time with their cookie cutter titles. at least Crytek are talented enough to repeat the formula while keeping it fresh. as for Multiplayer, I am not aware of which titles you have played so far. but in any case, Crysis feels fresh and it's damn fun. the ability to quickly select Super speed, run to the flag and then quickly cloak and pick off enemies is while not entirely new, (not as a whole but as separate additions, e.g. super speed, camouflaging) feels great. furthermore, which FPS game allowed you nuke the enemy's base and construct your own super-vehicles? None in my knowledge. ofcourse I am not declaring Crysis the best thing since sliced bread; but the game is sound on so many levels. it has it's fair share of problems but almost all of them are due to the fact that it's a BETA and not a final demo or retail. the only thing I dislike is that the communication isn't as fluid as it should be. pressing F5 and then another key to give simple commands is quite annoying. It would have been great if the game had BF2's One click command menus. as for the people complaining about the originality, they need to kindly shut up. when was the last time we saw real creativity in mainstream media? select for a few titles, most of the other FPSes Ctrl-C each other. atleast Crytek are daring enough to simultaneously include some features which we haven't seen a lot of.
oh and Me and Anshul were playing Crysis and we both dominated our respective teams
