» Mon May 14, 2012 12:04 am To encourage players to think strategically, Prophet can fire a standard bolt while cloaked, a first for the series. If you fire explosive or stun bolts, you’ll decloak, just like with standard weapons.
The introduction and improvement of more “hunter-ish” skills—like how marking enemies now includes a more detailed description of the type of enemy and the weapon they’re carrying or the new ability to remotely hack turrets and electronics
Hojengaard went on to explain that Prophet’s transformation from hunted to hunter goes beyond simple mechanics. Prophet is also on the hunt to find out more about his dark and sordid past, and, most likely, the “good explanation to why he’s back” after having tried to kill himself in the previous installment.
In the distance, a massive red tower, which stands atop an underground prison where series vet Psycho awaits rescue, stretched to the sky, and the floodlights atop it drenched the vegetation-rife streets with artificial light, casting hard shadows across every inch of the dense, lush setting.
At one point, two Scorchers, a new enemy, appeared in all their lizard-inspired, quadrupedal glory. These fire-spewing mechs are even more impressive than they sound as they are the first four-legged creations Crytek has built.
One of the more devastating Ceph weapons at your disposal is the heavy mortar, which can fire either plasma grenades or missiles, both of which are capable of causing massive amounts of damage to anyone and anything in the area.
Halo players will feel right at home here — like the Covenant, every Ceph gun has a finite power cell before draining completely.
In addition to the still-cool standbys of armor, speed, and stealth suit enhancements, Prophet can now tinker with certain electronic objects from afar, starting from simple turrets and door switches before scaling to “epic proportions” at end-game, Hojengaard said.
Various arrow types are available, including incendiary options, and long distance kills are celebrated with an arrow cam that follows the shaft through the air to its victim.
There is also a drone-like aerial remote, which is capable of sensing Prophet while he's cloaked and counter-acting his suit's technology, making him visible to Ceph forces.
We're playing in to the mix of Ceph and human DNA and how that effects the suit," says Hojengaard. "It's very important that everything ties in, organically, so the nanosuit has an arc of its own that develops alongside Prophet. And in some ways the suit is his enemy - Prophet wants to be human, but he becomes more alien as the game goes on, because the suit is such a useful tool kit. He's really conflicted. We're wrapping up all that stuff in the game. And there's a big revelation at the end..."
For human weapons, the HUD also gives a nice breakdown of wapon properties, covering accuracy, fire rate, mobility, damage, range and recoil. The Ceph weapons that you can use are unrecognised and get no such anolysis but from what we saw, you can assume they are pretty gosh-darn devastating.
And what about Nomad - the main character of the first game who was mysteriously absent throughout Crysis 2?
"He won't be returning as a character, but you'll be seeing some part of him. I'll let you figure out what the means."
Prophet begins the game in a CELL facility, escapes, and ends up in New York's Liberty Dome,
Other weapons include those high-tech heavy weapons pinched from alien enemies, such as a heavy mortar called the highpoly.
Taking a cue from the Battlefield series, Crysis 3 will feature a high level of environmental destruction. Shootouts will lead to untold levels of devastation, adding a whole new layer of strategy to the combat as you won’t be able to hide safely in one spot too long since at any moment it could be reduced to rubble atop you.
as the game progresses your hacking powers will increase, letting you exploit ever more powerful equipment.
