Tropical forest/island or New York/another city ?
Personally I'm happy to see Crysis 2 comes out on consoles so that I can play it but I'm dispappointed that it no longer sets in tropical island.

Did you see the cryengine 3 showoff vid that showed some console gameplay on the beach of crysis 1.
It was like 20fps, so it wouldnt be enyoable.
But I dont have anything against New York its something fresh and new.

I've seen epic jungle, time for epic city , then maybe a mixture of a few different terrains in crysis 3! (please!)

New York. I bet another big space aka City will be in Crysis 3. Hopefully its like Uncharted, and mixes it up with like Norway or Iceland or Antartica or something.

New York...3 games in jungle is enough.

Yeah, the jungle was comprehensively explored in Crysis & Warhead so a destroyed New York looks like an interesting environment for the story.

New York without a doubt, We'v seen the jungle and now its time for something new, Personally the jungle at times looks a little cartoonish.

Crysis 3 in space? Perhaps water?

New York. As much as you would prefer to ignore all the talk about "emotional value" and whatnot, it's actually true. And not only that, the scenery is bound to be much, much more advanced and detailed. You can't have civilian cars in a tropical jungle, for example. And well, punching taxi cars off a bridge into an alien's face actually kinda looks fun.

Yes, fine, it may not be as large of a "sandbox" anymore, but then you can't be sure that it would be more fun that way in the first place. You can't be sure of that. You'll probably never find out, as well.

Crysis 2 is shaping up to be a very good game. The scenery, the gameplay, the story it all feels "expensive". You can see it wasn't rushed. You can see that a lot of care has been put into the details of each aspect. And frankly, such detail just wouldn't have been in a jungle environment.

So really, I'm very content with this urban jungle setting. I think it has more ups than downs (if any).


Thanks

crysis 3 in afghanistan? iraq? that would be awesome. Imagine you are one of the Elite Australian SAS, you think the war between humanity and aliens is over BUT!
You have been deployed into the heart of Afghanistan to seek out a man who belives to have picked up an unknown signal from an unknown race? that would be epic!

sgtsn1per, nice idea!

sgtsn1per, nice idea!

thanks =D

New York. Jungle is nice and stuff but this would be their forth game in the jungle. Even so, when the main plot only happens on an island, everyone would ask what the hell is going on everywhere else in the world.

i put my vote for tropical because of how much bigger scale multiplayer (12V12)

In other words,some midle east setting will look awesome in cryengine.
I know it's not an original/new idea but this is just my oppinion.
Or a short story,here it is:

SINGLEPLAYER STORY:

You start fighting in year 2012 as a U.S Soldier in some middle east country that is unstable due to it's terrorism activity<<<(this would be like a playable flashback).Then something happens: the terrorists are advancing with they're technology surprisingly fast and you are sent all by yourself to investigate and then you find out that they are using alien technology from a unknown race that looks similiar to us(humans)that they made an aliance with,but they are from a far far away planet and came here to earth using advanced technology to travel in a very short amount of time to prepare a massive attack against the humanity and consume all it's resources.
When you find out what's all about you send all the intel to the HQ and then a HUGE invasion of the NATO forces beggins.
The surprise is that non NATO countries that have big millitary resources will join the invasion by your side,countries like Russia,China,Japan etc.
Then you find out that a man with high rank in the military of the country that is hosting the aliens does not entirely agree with what they want to do and he will pick his loyal men,soldiers,scientists etc,and they will contact the HQ to join you.
Civilians from the host country will join too,willing to help saving they're country/humanity by giving all the help they can by using equipment from the Allied forces,most of them taking the role of infantry.
Then a message from space is picked up by the Allied sattelites and decoding it,and then finding out that the enemy is sending a wave of troops to fight us.
Massive attacks by the enemy forces are taking place all over the world,mostly in Europe.
All remaining forces in they're main countries are giving they're best to defend they're homeland by using all military resources.
Some smaller countries are occupied by the enemy and used as bases to plan they're next attacks on allied forces.
Until now not too many troops were wearing the NANOSUIT,but it seems that the U.S was not the only country that had the nanosuit,alot of other countries had it but they kept it as a secret for security purposes.
Now that every country is taking to the fight all the best they have,most soldiers will wear different types of nanosuits,light armor,heavy armor etc.
Due to the decision of all countries to reveal the secret that they have nanosuits too, the enemy will start feeling that they attacked the wrong planet...
The allied forces are now starting to regain territory.
Big fleets of allied jetfighters are starting huge bombardments over the remaining enemy bases in the countries that they have conquered before.
After a long/intense fighting the enemy also have air support coming in for a last try.
The enemy intentions were USELESS.
Most of they're technology is captured by allied forces and used to our advantage to make the last push.
After a long time of fighting we finaly win and everything starts going back to normal.

SINGLEPLAYER GAMEPLAY:

When the NATO forces starts the invasion you will switch between different allied countries to make different types of missions in different ways.
The same goes for the Europe scenary (see singleplayer story)

MULTIPLAYER:

Co-op:
The maps will be singleplayer locations ofcourse.
The more people per session the better.
Each player get to choose the country they want to play with (see singleplayer story) and command they're own squad of bots.
You will either advance and take points or killing waves of enemies.

Competitive:
HUGE maps with lots of types of VEHICLES and you will have some epic battles going on.

NOTE:
Built in menu 1st person/3rd person option.

I'd prefer a city scape type of game-play any time.

I think the change to a city is great, gives the game a fresh feel(to people whom played the original).
However, on the next game, I'm hoping for a new setting, desert, alpine, middle eastern(yet urban).

I hate Middle Eastern setting because it's rather barren, there's hardly any trees there.

South America or Australia would be cool.
