I just had a random thought in class.
If the Nanosuits are alien technology that Hargreave Rasch reverse engineered, how in god's name did the Koreans figure out how to make it? I'm kind of lost how it's possible unless they had found a site of their own...

Crysis 2 has nothing to do with Crysis 1. Stop insisting.

Koreans spied on usa making the nanosuit. That's why they have nanosuits, but with lower quality... That's my guess.

@cuad: FU!

Cuad, you're completely ignorant of the fact that C1 is mentioned in C2

Crynet sold them to Korea as extra subjects to see how the aliens would react with the nanosuit.

Maybe Crynet got nanosuit , Korea got money .....
Then.. Let's SHARE some good things : D

This seems the most possible guess that makes sense, regarding that the US Squad of Nanosuit also were test subjects...

A lot of things now make more sense in Crysis 1, like why would you send million dollars nanosuits just to rescue some archeologists?

Though it's interesting how half the team got wiped out so fast, I mean aztec didn't stand a chance, but from what we can then and now, it would be pretty implausible that they could do that.

Nanosuits "Made in China"

Everything in Crysis 1 aside from Prophet and the Aliens is basically non-canon now. It's forgotten.

To you maybe.

To Crytek maybe? There are countless holes in the story that don't fit with the first one.

Plz explain

So there isnt any chance of there being sub-species of these aliens? When you look at the human species there isnt exactl a set height, colour or features is there. Just because the aliens in this are different in number two it doesnt affect the first game. It is fair to say that they have left some rather gaping holes in the story but with a little attention payed to the story, some imagination (which appears to be a four letter word for some of you fun nazi's) and a bit of common sense many of the inconsistencies can be accounted for.

And to the original post, I would go with hargreave flogging suits to the koreans to see what happens to them at lingshan

Anyone ever consider Rasch in the equation? I mean he was in a partnership with Hargreave, and contacts you at the end of C2 (which i only noticed after turning subtitles on).

Connection? Perhaps...

OMG i was wandering who the crazy german was!

Why hargreave do not trying to develop a 2nd nanasuit and handle the aliens himself.

^Seriously? Did you play the first one?
Okay, let's start with the basics. Flying, ice aliens in Crysis vs. Fleshy, pink humanoid aliens in C2.
Nanosuits react with the aliens due to their wireless signals (which is why the suit goes weird when aliens are about to attack). In C2 you're looking for a way to defeat the aliens.... even though the preceding suit weakens them.
A signal is sent out by the aliens to galaxy M33 in Crysis. In C2 they're underground which is plausible, as the aliens in Crysis were first found as artefacts, but then they're completely different and what happened with the signal?
Nanosuit technologies are shared/two parties have them (US + Korea), but in C2 there is no evidence of other parties having suit tech.
Nomad, Psycho and Helena no longer exist in C2, although there is slight referencing to their deaths but no solid proof.
Need I say more? I'm getting bored here...
Yes I did.
Same species, different races+they adapted.
The only reason you could weaken them on Cry1 was because of the Cephs old suit's and weapons fed off energy, as I said the aliens have adapted so they use biological warfare instead now, hence the suit can't defeat them by overpowering them with energy.
Adapted+It still hasn't been explained about the signal but it's hinted in the book that the Aliens that are here are basically the gardeners of our planet and that the True soldiers are still to come.
The most likely answer to that is that Hargreave gave the suits to North Korea as further test subjects so he could see how their suits would react to the ceph at Lingshan.
There is a comic coming out bridging the gap and explaining what happened, but if you open visor in Hargreaves room you will find there is an alien artifact recovered by Helena Rosenthal.
Yes do say more, I'm getting bored of people thinking they know everything about the games plot then insulting it because they don't understand it.

Sorry but fanwanking, yea thats a word, doesnt debunk the fact that there are many plot holes.

Your inability to either a) use your imagination and b) consider a 3rd game will fill in the plot doesn't mean there are plot holes aplenty.

What you want the story served on a marble plate and served to you by the Queen herself?

i hate people who are giving reason for why the aliens are different, they adapted bla bla bla.

Crysis 1 was ignored and didnt happen for the most part. Crysis 2 just throws u in with no introduction and the ceph are already about as a common enemy, yet they are entirely different, u could say a totally different race, the smiliaties are so small. Which is why the SP story was poop.

I honestly hate what they did with crysis 2 for story, it felt like such a middle finger to crysis 1.

Crysis 3 better go back to the jungle based racist games they usually make

The Korean ones were referred to as 'cheap knockoffs' at some point in C1 IIRC. That would mean they've been imitated but not copied exactly. I'm sure there would be other ways of created similar, but ultimately inferior results.

There is also the possibility of industrial espionage and reverse engineering. The fact their product was not the same means it hasn't simply been sold to them.

The story did not mention anything about what happened after Nomad, Psycho, and Helena went back to the island after Prophet. The first story, which was actually unfinished, left off at that point, with all the fans hungry for the whole story.

Crysis 2 takes place, was it 3 years? after Crysis 1 setting. Not only is there a huge time gap in the story, Prophet is the only character that was even just a shadow in Crysis 2.

At the end of Crysis 1, the nuke causes a mass expansion of the island aliens, and they swarm out from the sphere, as you can see in the skies when you get out on the carrier deck. There seemed to be thousands and thousands of them, and where did they all go? And what became of that naval fleet from Japan?

The fact that the aliens are red in Crysis 2 really ruins it, if they were blue trust me it would connect quite a bit better with the first story.

And what the hell happened to Sean O'Neill? I don't remember seeing him wearing a nanosuit, so even if the nanosuit 1 turned out to be fatal, what would he have to do with it? Also what about Emerson? Psycho's "commander" in Warhead?

There is simply too much missing in Crysis 2 for the story to be anywhere as interesting.

I want gaping plot holes to be explained. As ive already said creating your own story content to fill such plot holes doesnt mean they do not exist. Speculation can be fun sure I accept that but dont make the mistake of thinking they fill story gaps.

Anything anyone comes up with on these forums is not canon or are you actually claiming otherwise?

Wow this sparked a huge discussion, bigger than I expected XD
Yeah espionage definitly seems plausible since it seems like after a pooint crynet makes EVERYTHING
