So im a Crysis fan obviously, and i loved the first game with its open feel to how you can attack objectives... Crysis 2 didn't have this well implemented and that game felt like a tech demo then a actual game.

So having said that i am willing to give 3 a chance and have prepurchased the game for the singleplayer only. I have seen countless videos such as the 7 wonders, thats shows off the gameplay and it looks good.

But i have a few questions that i cant seem to find answers for... it states in the features that crytek are going back to there roots and making the world seem more "open" again and more sandboxy, is there any information about how large we can expect the map or levels to be?

Also on map talk, is the game going to be set in one no load time dome or is it seperate levels still?, because i would love to see a game like this that has that to offer....i mean if farcry team can do it and modders who make huge maps with the cry engine can, then crytek can too...

Anyway i hope this turns out to be as good a the first game in terms of gameplay, because graphics are all well and good, but theres a point when you need to focus on the key aspects of what the player wants in a game, not how many lighting or shadow effects we can put into this stream of water! derp!.

Thoughts?

I'd say it's more open than Crysis 2 but the levels are definitely smaller than C1. I wish C2 would have been more like this (plus the return of big open maps and vehicles), but they have butchered the story already, a shame.

I dont know, im not going to go over the mess of Crysis 2 but, it seems there time is spent making a amazing engine then a decent story driven game... i may be wrong here but i think the company would of turned out better if they just used all there time on the engine and sold that instead of making a half arsed attempt at wrapping up profiets story after the mess they made, assuming crysis 3 is bad, who knows yet.
