    It looks like Crytek plans to allow fans a chance to jump into Crysis 2 a little earlier than the gen pop. The game's official website, which is currently down for improvements, will be a place where you'll be able to sign up for an early-access beta, this according to a statement that CVG spotted earlier on the site. 
     
    The message isn't specific about platforms, nor does it mention dates of this formally unannounced beta. The only significant takeaways are (a) that a beta is a thing that will happen, and (b) the earlier you sign up at the website, the more of a chance you'll get in scoring an invite to said beta. 

    This Power Play Was Activated Way Too Late 
    This Power Play Was Activated Way Too Late 
    == TEASER == The statement in full:

    Looking to get your hands on Crysis 2 early? Now is your chance! Early registrations will be tracked, and our first wave of users will have a chance to win a key as and when the Crysis 2 beta takes place. All you need to do is sign up early and one day in the near future you may be receiving a mail with an invite to the game.

        
    1UP points out that the website will be up and in working order Sunday at 3:00 AM PST. So, if the beta sign-ups are to be offered tomorrow, and Crytek is serious about the whole "signing up early" thing, you might want to consider sampling some cocaine, the perfect cure for the droopy eye. I suppose you could also try to find something interesting to do until the wee hours of the morning. Your choice, really, but you only live once am I right? 
     
    UPDATE:  It looks like the website is sorta up and running. GB user MrKlorox tells me he was able to load the page enough to register an account. Go nuts!

    I hope it's on PC. Then I can play a game that will take another 5 years to max out. Assuming it's not just a console port and they bring in the usual PC settings, i'm looking forward to see what this game looks like, even if it runs at 5 fps.

    @Landon:  I thought reports said that Crytek was developing for PC, Xbox and PS3. I'm sure the beta will be a single multiplayer level like the original was.

    Since when?  Crysis has always had a very strong MP side.
     
    Crysis when first released had a pretty good MP portion which had all the basic game modes, DM, TDM, LMS, CTF and so on.
    Later, they released Crysis Wars in beta and it had vehicles, capture point and unlockable weapons. It became officially supported, bundled with Warhead and is also now sold separately.

    I was never interested in Crysis multiplayer and definitely not interested enough to wake up at 6 AM on a Sunday.

    Hopefully this will be on the 360 as well; though if it isn't then meh. If I get a key I'll probably just toss it to someone.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing how the game will play in an urban environment, but betas are usually limited to multiplayer, which wasn't Crysis 1's strong suit (though not bad, by any means)
     
    EDIT: It's 3AM, and the site's still down...

    i dunno about you guys, but even though i'm a bit irritated about the website not being relaunched yet, even though it should have been back up about 5 hours ago... i'm more upset by the fact that Crytek has not even had the courtesy to let us know what's going on. the least they could do is make a twitter post or SOMETHING. i mean, a lot of people wasted their time waiting for it to relaunch and some people are probably still waiting. personally, i have reached the assumption that they're not going to relaunch it anytime soon or will even let us know when they will, seeing as they haven't bothered to inform us, so far.

    I got the signup page to load half way also and I was able to enter my details and check the terms of use box. I clicked create then it wouldn't load. So i clicked try again and it keeps resubmitting my information. It eventually went though:

    { "status": "success", "title": "Activate Your Account", "body": "

    Thank you for creating a MyCrysis account.

    Before you can login, please check your email to confirm your registration.

    ", "close": "" }
     
    You have the  Create Account  link. So if you can get it to part way load,  you can get an account if you keep trying. Now if I could only get the activation link to load. :( I keep getting a timeout or a 502 bad gateway
     
    edit: finally it logged me in. now I can rest easy.

    @Cirdain:  Just now. When the page loaded it said I was already a member for 11 minutes. So I think the activation went though but it never forwarded me to the signed-in page until later attempts with the email activation link.
     
    I wonder what member number I am.
