When the original Crysis was released I did not have a computer that could run it, now I do and Crysis 2 is now out. Can I go right into the sequel or should I play Crysis 1? Also how does Warhead fit into the story if at all?

A lot of console players haven't played the first and had no problems with the sequel.

It has little tie to the first. Anything thats important is tossed into a few small flashbacks.   No mention of warhead is made at all. And there is a passing talk about the first game and the island it happened on....more or less going to " bad stuff happened here"   So no go and dive right into the second.    The first game was not about story...but about the looks.  "

Cool, that is good news because the sequel looks to be a much better game overall what I've seen game play wise. "

I've heard that the first Crysis is the better of the two.

Do NOT worry about the story. 
 
WAT Story? 
 
I just finished crysis 2, and I feel lost without neccessarily  wanting to be found. What was all  that I just played? Oh well, at least I understand when a developer is blatantly wanting a sequel, I caught that hint.  And the gameplay  does give it a pass there..sooooo 
 
Nice game, minus voice acting and plot, but nice game. I won't say great, but I would play a sequel. Maybe it might even have a story, and not just a cranky old man, a cranky lady, and some asshole dudes. And come to think, ultimatly for some undecipherable reason, those unlucky Aliens.

The story in Crysis 2 has nothing to do with the story in Crysis 1 except for a name-drop.

As people have said there is no need to go back for story reasons, but I would recommend you do it anyway cause the first one and warhead can be a lot of fun and still look incredible.
