One of the best songs from one of NIN's best album. That alone makes me want this game.

I think it is fine, "They say the suit makes me more than a soldier... but it's our only change to fight against the invasion".   If they get to stop the invasion, who is going to force him to return the suit?
 
That means the suit is powerful, and they are giving that much power to a single person, which may be dangerous, power corrupts and that stuff, but it is not like they have many options to choose, not to give him so much power. 
 
Similarly to how Marcus gets out of prison in the first GeoW, and to what happens in many other fiction stories, where the lesser evil is chosen.

Looks fantastic, however it seems from the trailer that it might play more like a corridor shooter than its predecessor.

I'm excited to play the single-player campaign for this game come next year.  That's more than I can say for most of the other shooters being released in 2011.  I know there will probably be more entertaining multiplayer offerings in the next wave of FPS/TPS games, but I tend to stick with single player games only so that component is what interests me the most.

Saving the human race by finishing the fight on Earth using an augmented power suit? Why not, we already have plenty of practice at it. All kidding aside the light parkour mirror's edge style moves are very intriguing.

@HarlequinRiot:
But since 300 used that soundtrack, it has been an archetypical choice for "generic badass dude killing interchangeable faceless masses of enemies in most stylish ways possible", no innovation whatsoever in choice of music.
Thats my point.

@Jeremy_x: The music at the end surprised me. It's not often you hear "warm" chords like that at the end of a trailer, or in games, really.

I Love how the aliens know how to use elevators. I love how there is still power in ruined manhattan. 
I'm thinking generic enemies and gameplay. Humans in alien suits basically.

Wow turn the Elitism down a little, won't ya?  
I honestly don't know why you're complaining, Crysis is STILL coming out for the PC, and it's probably gonna be better on the PC.

" I thought they were playing up how they brought some writing talent to the project? That's the kind of script you get when you hire an actual "writer"?  bleh  Looks pretty though... though not much different from the first. "
It reads more like marketing, not a writer. They're trying to convey that the Crysis series is about choice. Anyway, fans of the original would disagree. It couldn't be more different from the first game.

" Will be interesting to see what kind of compromises they had to do to the game to make it work on consoles. Anyone else notice the slide on your ass and shoot up seems to be in every shooter now a days? "
Yeah, am I the only one who not approves of this? Its just so silly, just imagine this is a real life situation. -Okay, the badguys are in this house. -Fuck the flashbangs, 'Ill just slide in on my ass!
 
jumping and shooting max pain style I can understand, but sliding on the ground shooting is the over the top move that is just to silly.

As long as there are more sandbox areas than Warhead, I'll be happy. Not to say Warhead wasn't awesome, It was just more focused on blowing stuff up as opposed to more options.

I worry about the lack of stealth gameplay in these C2 trailers.  Suppose it wouldn't be as easy for marketing but the fact the only time I've seen it used was that one part of that one boss fight from the E3 demo... scares me.  It scares me because I played through Crysis about 10 times and most of those times I favoroured playing predator style, not rambo style. :/

I wish all trailers would stop reusing songs.  there should be a unofficial rule: Use the song once, then its no longer allowed.
 
Same with MarineVoiceGuy, unofficially no longer allowed.
