About
Global tensions have reached boiling point as the U.S. and North Korea square off in the South China Sea. At stake: a mysterious artifact uncovered by a team of U.S. archeologists.

The North Korean government quickly seizes the area, prompting the U.S. to dispatch an elite team of Special Forces operatives on a rescue mission. During the siege the true nature of the artifact quickly emerges, pointing to the existence of an alien presence on Earth, and ultimately the trigger for a massive-scale alien invasion.

The battle to save Earth begins as the aliens’ flash freeze the tropics into a ghostly-white frozen landscape.

As gamers take up arms against the aliens, they will be outfitted with customizable weapons and a high tech Nanosuit, allowing them to adapt their tactics and abilities to a hostile, ever-changing environment and a mysterious enemy.


Official Website: http://www.crysis-game.com/


Weapons 101

Infantry Weapons (Human)

• Minigun - The minigun is a heavy weapon, this means that it can only be used if you have a certain level of power in your nano suit. This weapon is most effective when used agaist ground units, like infantry on aliens.

• FN SCAR -This weapon will use the standard 7.62mm round. It is a modular system and can be changed real time to many different combinations for different situations, like sniping or an indoor battle.

• XM102 Rocket Launcher -This weapon is a shoulder mounted rocket launcher and has the capabilities of destroying heavy vehicles like tanks, helicopters, trucks etc... It utilizes a futuristic targeting system.

• XM2014 Shotgun - This weapon like the FN SCAR is a modular weapon, it can have a reflex sight, targeting laser or a tactical flashlight. Like most shotguns it is best when close to the enemy.

• MPXA Sub-Machine Gun - Like the shotgun this is a short ranged weapon. It has an available laser targeting system, reflex sight, tactical flashlight, and a silencer.

• EM70 - This is a long range rifle that uses electromagneticity to fire metal slugs at 8 times faster then the speed of sound.

• Flame Thrower - Unfortunately we probably will not see this gun until nearly the end of the game. Since the aliens enjoy freezing things it probably will not be effective against them but it could possible be a modification of one of their weapons.

• Hand-Held Gattling Gun - This is another heavy weapon, and like the minigun it can only be used if the player possesses a certain level of power in his nano suit.

• Frag Grenade - There are a lot of videos of this bad boy going off and like they show, it's good for cutting down trees or the guy infront of you.

• North Korean Rifle - This gun is the standard weapon for the North Korean Army and like the FN SCAR it will be modular and have many different configurations.

• Pistol - There will be a variety of pistols. That's all we know at this time.

Mounted Weapons (Humans)

•Machine Guns - As in other first person shooter multiplayer games, there will be mounted machine guns throughout the map to provide support to other troops and to defend key positions.

• Anti-Air - Crysis will have a lot of air vehicles of many different types. This weapon will be able to take them out and will be placed in key positions.


Infantry Weapons (Alien)

• Molecular Accelerator - This gun has unlimited ammo by turning water and humidity in the air and then freezing it into icicles and then shooting it at the enemy at extremely high rates of speed.

• Molecular Arrestor - This weapon shoots a freeze ray which in turn freezes the enemy and when it gets hit by a bullet it will shatter.

• Singularity Cannon - This gun shoots a miniature black hole which makes a big explosion that attempts to suck everything into it.

Gadgets 101

Gadgets (Human)

• Nano-Muscular Suit, Nano Suit For Short - This suit has many many many functions. It has a shockwave function which kills enemies within a 50m range (watch out for team mates). It also includes a super strong mode to make you destroy trees and buildings as well as your enemies face, a super fast mode that allows you to run well, super fast. There is also a cloak mode. More functions will be added here as we learn them but in short, this suit is a big part of gameplay and how the player uses it can change tactics a lot.

• PDA - This will serve as your com link to the powers above you. Most likely it will have GPS, satellite feed, imagery, analysis and many other things.

Gadgets (Alien)

• There is currently no information about what the aliens might have in terms of gadgets but we do know that they will communicate telepathically.


Characters

Humans

• Main Character: In single player you start off as Jack Dunn, a member of the US Delta force. You and your team of elite soldiers have been sent to investigate an asteroid that has crashed in the pacific ocean in an unknown location. The reason for the investigation is that the asteroid did not make any kind of impact on the earth when it landed.

•Allies: The people who you will be fighting will for the most part be other members of your delta team. Later in the game it looks like you might also be fighting with the US Navy and the US Airforce. Towards the end of the game you will be fighting with the North Koreans against the new alien threat.

•North Koreans: At the beginning of the game you will be fighting against the North Koreans. For this part of the game you are defending the crash site. They are equipped with a new version of the AK that can be modified on the fly much like the Delta Force gun.

Aliens

• Alien Infantry: You will fight alien infantry as well as vehicles including mechs. The aliens must wear a special suit when they are out of the cold so they can stay alive. They are equipped with ice based weapons that you can also use if you pick one up. Most times the alien infantry accompanies alien exosuit but they also have their own squads.

• Alien Exosuit: This is a huge alien mech you see on all the videos and screens on the aircraft carrier. Most likly it's a vehicle driven by aliens, it is equipped with freeze guns and other weapons.

There is also a much much larger alien mech, but not much is known about it yet.

Wildlife

• Birds: As in Farcry there are birds in Crysis. They do not seem to be bothered by the freezing earth, aliens, or the sounds of war. They are not just for looks though. If you are trying to sneak about and you scare up a flock of birds the enemy AI sees this and starts opening fire. This can be used against you or for you. Also, if you are bored you can just shoot them for some target pratice.

• Others: Nothing else has been said about other creatures but there probably will be a wide variety of other animals.



Environment

The single player will be broken up into three different areas.

North Korean Jungle:

This part of the game will remind you of Far Cry. For the most part you are fighting the North Koreans in a sunny jungle with lots of destructible vegetation and structures. It will give you a wide variety of ways to kill the enemy. Instead of sneaking around a building that the enemies are in you can just blow it up and when it falls on top of them it will kill them. Or if they are behind some trees instead of flanking them you could just shoot the tree and knock it down exposing the enemy. As an added bonus if you miss shooting them more then likely the falling tree will kill them.

The Frozen Jungle:

When the alien space craft opens up it creates a freeze, there is a huge dome now where everything in it is frozen. So instead of it being a sunny paradise it is now a frozen jungle, and the physics of the game reflect this. You can shoot frozen leaves and they will shatter etc. The climate is extremely cold which is why the aliens can run around without there protective suits on. Your nano suit will be able to handle the extreme temperatures so you will not have to worry about becoming an icicle.

In the Alien Ship:

Not to much has been said about the alien ship, one thing we do know is that it is 2km high so it's going to be huge. Another thing we know is there is no gravity in the ship so this should make for some interesting fire fights with the aliens.

AHAHAHA DIE CD-R DIE!

[Plasma]

Loving that its 64bit and multi-threaded

[SittingDuck]

Lame, Gotta upgrade teh CD-R :P

Won't there be a DX10 for XP, Not legal of course?

[BROX]

Are they shipping two versions? Like a 32bit and a 64bit or is everything combined into a mammoth 32/64 dx9/10 box.

[Retardobot]

Single core, Dual core, Multi-core and multi-threaded/hyperthreading processors are supported in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. We do not know how much processor power is needed, though in a recent PC Gamer UK magazine preview Cevat Yerli said an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 card could run the game at "ultra detail" settings.

Freaken awesome!!! Just need a new vid card.

They talk a bit about system requirements in this video. 15minutes long so get your notepad ready

[noob_pwnerer]

omfg I haven't been taking notice of many up and coming games, but I am definitely getting this.

This is my current system :

CPU: AMD *dual core* 4600+

GFX: NVIDIA 6600GT x2 SLI

RAM: 1 GB

Is there anything I would need to upgrade? Im hoping only RAM.

[GhostOfGallipoli]

you pretty much need new shit


6600's aren't going to cut it

[Spork]

So with the 32bit/ 64bit situation does that mean the 64bit only works on 64bit systems?

Bleh...

[Plasma]

64bit cpu + 64bit OS

[Spork]

Ermm...

Well my specs are.

e6600
8800GTX
2 gig ram
Gigabyte 965p-DS3p
500gig HDD

Going to buy Vista soon - was going to buy 32bit tomorrow but if Crysis looks better in 64bit and 64bit can only be run on a 64bit OS then that might tip me over.

[Phlex]

Looks like im getting a new rig:(

[noob_pwnerer]

you pretty much need new shit


6600's aren't going to cut it

x2 6600GT SLI will cut it. It will play it on most gfx settings with AA off.

[GhostOfGallipoli]

x2 6600GT SLI will cut it. It will play it on most gfx settings with AA off.

look, you came in to ask and i told you, you need more ram and a better card if you want to do the game justice.

Dude, the difference between Css and Crysis is about $2000 in hardware. My mate had css running on some...old...thing? Anywho, just becasue Css runs fine does not mean this will. At all. If you knew ANYTHING about this game, you would kow that the level of detail that has been applied is beyond anything the computer gaming world has ever seen, but i guess you think your 6600's in SLi *fap fap fap* will do DX10 also?

Hed this warning,

Your 6600's will burst into flames inside your case and your CPU will melt with the insane pressure this game will apply, your RAM will crumble and your motherboard will snap under the most intense game devised by man!

lol, im not going to listen to you because you dont know what you are talking about, a 6600GT surpasses a 7600 in some areas with a benchmark of 15%, I have x2 6600GT cards overclocked. All I will need is 2 gigs of RAM. I don't want to look at trees or water I just want the game to run smooth in multiplayer.

[KiLL3r]

I just want the game to run smooth in multiplayer.

then as ghost said you will need something better than a couple of 6600's and a AMD 4600+.

[noob_pwnerer]

then as ghost said you will need something better than a couple of 6600's

6600GT = tweaked by manufacturer

I then have overclocked both of them to the max. ( I have water cooling )

minimum requirements are a 6200? and ur trying to tell me I wont be able to play it.

[Obbles]

You'll be able to play it, it'll just look like crap

New Info!



Multiplayer:

PowerStruggle
This game mode is all about team play and tactics. Capture factories and buildings to gain prestige points which can be spent on weaponry and vehicles. Fight together with your team mates on the server for the ultimate glory and victory which can be accomplished by destroying the enemy headquarter with endgame high-tech weaponry like tactical nukes or Alien technology. To access these endgame weapons you need to have the generator of the research facility loaded at 100% which can be achieved by capturing and holding several Alien crash sites.

PowerStruggle, our main multiplayer mode, has experienced the most dramatic changes since the Games Convention 2006 and the Community Summit in Spring 2007. Thanks to all the feedback from the community we have reworked the very complex mode and tried to make it as accessible as possible without removing the tactical depth.

To give you a small overview here are the most important changes:

• Captured Alien Crash sites automatically transfer energy to the captured Research Facility.
• Energy only charges when the Research Facility and at least one Alien Crash site is captured by one team.
• Overall two stages of charging the reactor are available. At 50% you have basic Alien technology available and at 100% you have the endgame technology available for your team.
• The enemy HQ can be destroyed by TAC Gun, TAC Tank or Singularity Tank only.
• Defensive Turrets do attack enemy infantry and vehicles but do not destroy shells of endgame weaponry anymore.
• HUD has been completely re-designed for a much better overview.
• Overall economy has been modified and improved to guarantee a constant game flow.
• Camouflage Nanosuit mode has been replaced with the Alien cloak mode.

Instant Action
This game mode can be compared to classic death match in general. Due to the Nanosuit being available in multiplayer as well the player will experience a whole new variety of this mode. It is more dramatic, intense and includes a lot more action.

Actually Instant Action has not changed very much. The pace and the variety of how to play this mode are still granted by the Nanosuit functionality. Enough weaponry, attachments and equipment placed throughout the maps encourage players to experience different tactics. Small, medium and large map sizes allow multiplayer fun for each team size.

Team Action
After having the Expert’s Club and many internal sessions with TA we felt that this game mode is not as challenging as we wanted it to be. With the major focus on PowerStruggle we decided to better leave out Team Action since it could not compete in quality anymore. This may be disappointing for some of you, but we can ensure that with PowerStruggle and Instant Action we deliver two high quality multiplayer modes that support both small player numbers and huge battles.

DX9 vs. DX10 – The endless question
To shed some light into one of the most discussed topics regarding Crysis multiplayer I would like to explain you the differences between Crysis MP DX9 and DX10.

As for the DX9 version we won’t have physics and day and night cycle in-game. That means you won’t be able to shoot down trees and/or alter any other objects than vehicles on the map. Additionally the time of day setting doesn’t change dynamically. This is caused due to the tremendous server load such physics might cause on crowded gaming servers. Still you will be able to experience maps with different time of day settings since the maps can be altered in the Sandbox2 Editor.

Rather than providing the community partially working features we limit this for the DX10 version only. Due to the strong hardware available with DX10, server load is less and performance is increased. This ensures the pure physics and day and night cycle experience without any limitation.

Gamers with a DX10 card are able to play on DX9 servers, but with the limitation of the respective server. Vice versa it is not possible for gamers with DX9 cards to play on DX10 servers due to the limited features.

Conclusion
Features come and go – that’s the usual development of a game. With the cut of Team Action we can fully focus on two very strong and competitive game modes. We hope this note provides a good overview and prepares for the upcoming Crysis beta everyone is looking forward to! Stay tuned as we will have more exiting news prepared for you! For more information, visit www.nanosuit.com.



Single Player:
The time of day and weather will be automatically modified at certain key areas of the game.

General info:
There are other games in with "Cry" in their title in development and the studios in Budapest and Kiev will support Frankfurt during production.
You must be 18 in order to purchase the game in Germany.
The ever-expanding alien shield will dynamically change the world. The water is not dynamic, but there are several models to choose from.

Modding
The SDK will be available with the game launch on Nov 16th.
You cannot remove the nanosuit.
The destruction of vegetation is an encoded function, so it's able to be modified.
Models are easily imported into the game as long as guidelines are followed to make them compatible with the engine.

Low looks about the level of farcry. It seems as though anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering have been turned up high on all these screen shots. This will have a huge impact on performance. You can change AA and AF in your NVIDIA settings and would probably find that if setting these to low, running crysis on medium or high should be fine. Maybe at a resolution of 1024x768.

For instance look at the medium shot. There's nothing special about textures, you've seen as good as that in many other games. It looks so good because of some lighting but mainly because the image is so sharp even at the furthest distances. If you decrease this through AA and AF it'll run a lot smoother, some people could even push to high settings. But this is just my opinion, what do you think?

rofl i only just noticed the disk requirements, maybe the rumors are true about 2 dual layer dvds.

Might be time to drop the resolution, or image quality then.

But yeah, it does require a decent graphics powerhouse to play at high res and high image quality. :(

Is that using DX9 or additional tweaks, or completely stock standard settings on high?

if you have everything on higherst including like 16AA it wont run...the best you will get with that system is 15-20 fps if you turn of AA

[rettun*]

Ive got...

AMD 64bit duel core 4200+
a8n sli delux
2 gb of ram.
XFX 7900GT

(lazy over clock with NTUNE 12 hour tune rofl)

Installed last night, running all on medium I got 20-40fps with fraps.. running through the single player campain:cussing:

Awsome game tho, so wish I could crank shit up to ultra high! :)

[R3DM@N]

dement, same here brother

[Dangnabbit0]

I'm running
AMD X2 6000+
4Gb
8800 GTS
SB Audigy 4 card
Vista x86

and initially it ran like a spastic three legged pig with arthritis. But after installing the nVidia beta driver (the one they say is optimised for Crysis) I haven't had a problem. I can even play it with everything on ultra high but the FPS is not brilliant - but fcuk me it's pretty. Playing it through the second time since the first was marred by said "pig".
