I have the answers:)
1-Flying=Resource effective. They still fly, but in rather more ship like structures as opposed to squid. Remember, the squid structures in the last game were actually aliens in machines and the machines were VERYYYYY energy hungry.
2-They sent signals out. It was just a mere claim and rather more of a theory Helena had that she thought was happening. For all we know, it could be false, and as it is, the enemy is Ceph on earth. Aliens in space to come....yeah it'll take a long time. Even if the signals were sent for help, those aliens in space won't come immediately, they are not the problem at matter. AND remember, Lingshan was a bit of a hush-hush operation.
3-It's the nanosuit 2....-_-" Emphasize on the "2"
4-Newer, bigger weapons are necessary for the war against Ceph. The masculine size is probably because Alcatraz is just buff. Orrrrr, it could actually be that speed and strength are combined and streamlined into a power mode. The streamline allows for constant maximum speed and strength, thus, suit is buff.
5-Evolution. Flying, again, was resource effective. And actually, when the armada of aliens in the first game was unleashed, if you read multiplayer descriptions of map names in the crysis multiplayer, it tells you what happens to those aliens. That alien armada traveled the world and was defeated by MERE humans. In addition, in Crysis 2, we fight the aliens THEMSELVES, not in a machine. In the first game, we were basically fighting aliens in war machines. In Crysis 2, they come out in more mass numbers ON THEIR FEET. It's like instead of sending ships, the Ceph sent out foot soldiers.
6-Evolution; Also, ice weapons requried huge amounts of energy and energy is very limited (due to many humans using energy) to appeal to the aliens if they want to do a mass invasion. Plus, when they evolved they evolved to warm standards
7-The drills, or spikes that I assume you are talking about, are what releases the spores. The spores are part of the invasion, to wipe out the population. They are infective against humans and kills them. Aliens take samples from dead bodies it seems and that's how they manage to make sure the spore works and will continue to work against humans. Simple.
8-KPA had cheap knockoffs. And Crysis 1 had nanosuits with the purpose of being host dependant the whole time. Did you NOT forget the big Hargreave conspiracy? How he tricked Special Operations into using the nanosuit program just to see how symbiosis works and the effects when encountering aliens? I shouldn't even need to answer this question, did you PLAY Crysis 2 and pay attention?
9-Loads happened? They discovered aliens. End of story. Anything about Lingshan that needed to be known was in Prophet's mind about the aliens which he told Gould and Alcatraz anyways. Lingshan was mentioned several times in Crysis 2 BUT again, it's a hush-hush incident. PLUS, it's not like let's say, Strickland or Lockheart is gonna obsess about the incident. What happened has happened, they know how to do and have to deal with the aliens CURRENTLY at hand. They can talk about the past later.
10-Psycho and Nomad both died. Prophet was the ONLY one to stay alive. Why do you think he was mad at Hargreave? That's one of the main reasons he hated the nanosuit program trick Hargreave pulled on him; his whole squad died.
no plotholes really.....play Crysis 2 again, play with subtitles, and pay attention.
I disagree.
1. Doesn't make sense. How do you know how much power they constantly required to run? I'd probably say very little as they managed to fly around for the entire game without any direct power sources.
2. You're saying "I guess she and the entire fleet was wrong because the sequel doesn't address it."
3. Emphasis on the Nanosuit and the 2.0. Why is it a downgrade? Why is it ridiculously bulky?
4. The new design is because "oooo tatz zo cool!!!!" Prophet wearing the suit makes him look super buff. He looked normal in the first game. "The streamline allows for constant maximum speed and strength, thus, suit is buff." Really?
5. Yes, the natural evolution in 3 years is to go from walking to flying when you're trying to conquer the world.
6. Ice weapons required huge amounts of energy. Says who? The one Prophet got a hold of had unlimited ammo and was self recharging.
8. Doesn't make sense in relation to the original question.
9. It seems the guys defending it without thought are like "Oh, man, there was an original story where loads happened, but it happened so we don't need to reference it or talk about it or give any answers." At the same time they're like "bringing the game to consoles, the new players need to know what happened so they don't feel like they just jumped into the middle of a story."
Now everyone feels like they've jumped into the middle of a story because it makes no sense.
10. Proof they died? A one second shot of Pyscho's face in Pyscho's cutscene isn't anything, especially when he has no idea of the whole story. AFAIK we can only assume the guys that actually died in the first game died. As far as Prophet knows and we know, the last he saw of Nomad and Psycho was on the USS Constitution which was destroyed.
