This just looks uninteresting. A bunch of stealth kills from a dude in a high powered suit is over done and not very dramatic. Not really sure what they're going for with this one but I'm thinking it'll land sub-par.

Why do the hunters have the cell logo on their suits if their killing cell troopers?

Someone correct me, as my Crysis 2 lore is not particularly up-to-snuff, but I believe that Cell created the Nanosuits, then went all evil, and the Nanosuit troopers turned on them. At least, I think that's why you were fighting Cell in Crysis 2.

From what I remember Cell did create the Nanosuits, but they only wanted the specific Nanosuit that the protagonist used (I think there is only one Nanosuit in Crysis 2). At the start they wanted to stop it from spreading a virus; later on the CEO of Cell wanted it for himself since it developed a special anti-virus that killed the aliens.

The Crysis story line makes no sense to me. According to the single-player E3 demo you play as Prophet in 3 and I thought he died already.

Yeah, I vaguely remember the bad CEO guy that was dying now.

Again, if I remember, Alcatraz died at some point near the end of the game, but Prophet had already implanted himself in the deep layers of the suit before he died, so his consciousness took over near/at the end of Crysis 2.

I really liked the story of the original Crysis. It was super boilerplate action-movie business, but it was coherent and worked well with the huge scale of the game. The end seemed like it was leading up to an awesome sequel too, but then all of a sudden Nomad and Psycho are gone, and Prophet is off the island and dying. Seriously feels like they made another Crysis game that takes place between 1 and 2, but no one ever played it.

Honestly this reminds me a lot of the Spies vs Mercs MP from Splinter Cell. Which is a very very good thing.

What's this? Multiplayer that isn't as directly ripped from CoD as humanly possible? Color me interested until it's overrun by hackers like Crysis 2.

So has someone already said that the first Crysis on PC looked better yet? Because it will happen.

...you know, besides this comment where I bring it up.

It does. The density of physics trees and grass along with expansive areas completely blow it away. Also, the gameplay is better.

Uh huh.

Reminds me of a sourcemod called "The Hidden". You'd have one cloaked guy with a knife and some bombs go up against a team of shooty guys.

This looks less interesting, to be honest.

I played that mod. It was creative but awful to play. Almost like this vanilla HL mod that added a ton of these acrobatic moves like shooting while doing cartwheels or rolling which sounds neat but when you're doing a cartwheel in first person you have no idea what the fuck is going on so it was almost unplayable

It was pretty fun with a bunch of friends. Not pigsticking as the hidden also made the game a lot more enjoyable for both sides.

Sure thing Mr. Nolan North.

Also, this game mode looks AWESOME. Reminds me of the old Splinter Cell stuff. Pretty as hell also.

Well then if they actually allowed PC mods they could change the models to make it look like Predator/s.

From the looks of it, if you're killed as a normal dude, then you respawn as a Hunter? that makes for some pretty borked balancing issues.

I hope that isn't how it works, although the trailer does suggest that. The hunters, as units, are really overpowered, hence why it's 14 verses 2, but if the troopers become hunters after death then the odds are almost insurmountable to win as a trooper.

This.

Cool trailer and all, and the concept is neato. But I need to see more of the nuts and bolts of how this mode is actually set up to be sold on it. From the looks of it, if you're killed as a normal dude, then you respawn as a Hunter? that makes for some pretty borked balancing issues.

It looks pretty good, but it looks way too staged to represent what the real experience will probably feel like. You'll need to have over a dozen friends online at the same time, with great communication and assigned roles that they don't deviate from. I don't have that many friends online who would be willing to do all that, so my experience would be me playing alone with some strangers online. The potential looks great though.

Wait, is this just co-op, or do two people play hunters, and the rest play the cell dudes?

i actually really liked the original crysis multiplayer, though i hadn't experienced battlefield yet when i first tried it. still liked the look and the maps, and it kinda had an RTS/base management kinda feel to it.

Games aside, I'm glad a developer stepped in to fill the "engine showcase" void left when ZeniMax purchased id. We need someone making explosions look that good.

I loved the first Crysis on PC, and it's pretty good on the consoles as well (360 for me). I was disappointed in two, but over time (many hours of campaign time), while I still find it disappointing, I have a little more respect over it, and it's a little bit funner than it originally was. I am pretty excited for Crysis 3, and I have faith in this one. I just hope to see less technical flaws on the console versions, better voice acting, and smarter A.I.
