Shrewd players can access and control an alien vehicle. It'll be extremely challenging and extremely entertaining

That's some good stuff!

Re: New CGW Preview

Crytek interviews are always so entertaining. There's hardly any "politically correct" speak. The guys just tell it like it is smile

Very nice pic smile I like the view from top, that reminds me a little BF2. I wish we could also build the base (airfield,barracks,artillery etc) like in Generals or whatever strategy game

Re: New CGW Preview

Multiplayer sounds like interesting. Should be fun especially with some kind of organized clan games. But you really can't tell how good it is until you play it.

The article mentioned engineering equipment but no other uses than repairing. I dont know about whole bases but maybe you can build some barricades, walls and towers like in Far Cry.

I agree big_smile ...I wonder how hard it will be though hmm

That was a great article though...my mouth was just about watering from it tongue
All the stuff on AI and the ways you can approach the game...awesome.

I also like the parts where they talked about the tag bullets, and the way you can put pilots to sleep...or steal a vehicle in multiplayer by putting the driver to sleep once he's in big_smile ...I can hardly wait for this game!!!

Re: New CGW Preview

Im wondering how big the mp maps actually are. Because if mp supports only 32 players and maps are too big. Then it might get booring sad

Re: New CGW Preview

It won't. I'm sure you'll see enough action. Besides, there're bound to be different sized maps, so smaller maps have more intense action and larger maps promote sneaking etc. It'll be fun, that's for sure. big_smile

But then..you will need some sort of computer...it's not fun if you can't fight because your framerate dips too low. tongue


edit:

Holy crappage!

See what I wrote in my last post - quoting Jack Mamais. They've finally revealed something from the last chapter! Zero-G gameplay etc! big_smile

Re: New CGW Preview

Wow, this looks so cool. I am gonna crap my pants when this comes out. I am thinking BF Sized maps, but maybe not as big.

The Zero-G combat just sounds amazing.

Re: New CGW Preview

hey guys i dont know what you're thinking about this preview,but for me this the  best Crysis preview i've ever read!AND NOW i'm extremely hyped!The MP part sounds brilliant!The physics become more and more awesome!And the 1000 € pc upgrade(when Crysis will be released) seems to be  a great investment! :)Crytek also seems to be a very jocular squad  (f.e. Mike Khaimzon"i'm going to kill this artist(of EA) if i find him"   just  fabulous *g*

Re: New CGW Preview

Finally read through it all and I have to agree. The multiplayer part sounds AWESOME. It's like C&C Renegade made great with improved graphics & gameplay and everything pumped full of steroids.

Did I mention it'll be awesome?

Re: New CGW Preview

It says "before TF2 was announced......." so I don't think it was too long ago.

Re: New CGW Preview

TF2 was announced July 13th at the EA Summer Showcase, so the interview was from before then.  The news that the released date was pushed back to with Vista emerged on the 14th.  So, I'll stick with the later, more current info.

EDIT:  The new PC Zone scans seem to confirm this with a big bubble that reads ETA Q2 2007.

Re: New CGW Preview

i was psyched about this game just for the single player, when i read about the multiplayer it was like dream come true! the multiplayer has a similar concept to the battlefield series but on a much larger scale. after that article this game is all i want now.

Re: New CGW Preview

We're forming an army of Crysis followers tongue

One thing about the multiplayer, should I get a cable connection instead of my current DSL? I think I currently get less than 256 kb/s hmm
