What is the purpose of the Open Beta?
The Open Beta will give you a chance to play Crysis 3 multiplayer pre-release. Although it will not be final code, it will give you a good sense of the gameplay, design and feel for the final game for when it arrives in February. We will also make final adjustments to the game based on feedback from the Open Beta.
Where do I go if I have a problem running the game?
The Crysis 3 forum at gamesas.com is your first stop. There will be threads for each problem as well as for comments; please post in the correct forums. You may find the answer to your problem already posted by someone else in the community or answered by one of the developers. When posting a new problem, please include as much detailed information as possible in order to help us understand the issue and resolve it.
Can I post videos or talk about the game outside of the official gamesas message boards?
There are no restrictions—feel free to post whatever, wherever you want.
What are you doing to prevent cheating in the beta?
Crytek has been working hard to create an anti-cheat system for Crysis 3 based on extensive feedback from Crysis 2, and other Crytek or EA titles. Thankfully we’ve been able to get our anti-cheat systems online in time for the beta. The anti-cheat operates at many levels within the Dedicated Server and Client code – from client anti-tamper recognition to monitoring geometry and line-of-sight on the Dedicated Server.A key goal for Crytek and EA has been to reduce the detection-to-ban to less than 24 hours.
The Open Beta only seems to have two maps and two game modes?
Yes, this Open Beta only includes Hunter and Crash Site game modes on the Museum and Airport maps. This small cross-section of gameplay will give you a feel for what the final game will contain. The main game has ten more maps and six more game modes that are not in the Open Beta.
Is there single-player content in the Open Beta?
No, the Open Beta is only multiplayer content. The goals of the Open Beta is to serve as a final testing of the game’s backbone and features, and to give fans and the curious out there a chance to play the game before it is released.
