Fantastic lighting effects, but not as impressive as when Crysis first came out. In fact, some user made levels in Crysis are more impressive.

December 2010 can't come soon enough.I am interested to see what they mean by "a different type of forest".

Console gamers are happy, I am not, it's like my favorite game of all time, I know the game is going to be gimped, instead of admitting it, they spin it like it's a good thing which is not. Crysis has big levels like near far cry 2 scale, yet now it wouldn't be much of a sandbox game because of such small environments. It's going to gimp the pc version if you haven't played the game before. The levels are way bigger than anything you have played on consoles.

 
When queried on the "Crysis is going to consoles, so the design must be gimped" topic, Camarillo explains that that's "not necessarily" the case. "In some ways it has allowed us to avoid overdesigning features to keep the focus narrower and tight for a compelling experience on all platforms."    

Nathan Camarillo, executive producer on Crysis 2, tells the magazine that the sequel won't take place on another tropical island setting as we're used to. Instead, Crysis 2 makes the jump to a "new style of jungle" -- something they aren't ready to fully discuss just yet.

"We are applying our expertise to a new style of jungle which we will discuss more in the upcoming months, but it is definitely far from tropical," says Camarillo. "We are very excited to introduce Crysis-style sandbox gameplay to a different, yet ultimately familiar environment."

He adds that the team "expects to have increased verticality over the traditional Crysis sandbox," and as such the enemy AI is being overhauled to utilize their new surroundings.

Further, Crytek want their Far Cry successor to finally be included among the "successful cross-platform shooter franchises." "There are many successful cross-platform shooter franchises on the market, and it's time that Crysis sat proudly among that group."
